Ugh, it's 6 am already. I force myself out of bed and head straight to the closet. I put on a pair of black leggings with a white crop top and put my leather jacket on top, then I put my boots on. I grab my keys from my desk and go downstairs to the garage. When I reach the garage I run to my shiny black motorbike, god I love this thing. I fasten the helmet onto my head. The guard then opens the garage door. I start the engine then race out into the driveway. I love going on drives, when I get the chance, especially to this one spot my mother used to take me to, to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. She used to take me and Aurora here every day. The sunsets are beautiful, we get to see the city lights and see the sun go down on the horizon. Coming here brings me peace, which clearly doesn't exist in my life.

After an hour, my phone rings in my pocket, I take it out and see it's a phone call from my dad.

"Si, papa."(yes, dad)

"Princesa, where are you? I told you not to leave the house."

"I just went for a drive. Relax, I'll be home in 10."

"Ok, see you soon." Rolling my eyes, I put the phone back in my pocket, putting my helmet on. I hop back on my motorbike and drive back home.

I entered the house, washed my hands then headed straight to the dining room, everyone was sitting eating breakfast. I say good morning to everyone and sit next to Isabella. Sebastian wasn't here so I'm assuming he's still on bed rest. Everyone sat in awkward silence until we finished eating. My dad fills the silence by saying "we have guests coming over today."

"What guests?" I question.

"It's for... business." he hesitated at the word business.

"Business....what kind of 'business' are you exactly talking about?" I question my dad, darting my mind back to yesterday when I heard uncle Alfonzo shouting at him.

"Business which doesn't concern you. Jasmine."I could see the anger plastered across his face.

"Doesn't concern me? Papa, if I am to be the leader of this mafia I think I deserve to know everything that is happening around here." With that I stand up and head out of the dining room.

"JASMINE COME BACK HERE NOW!" I hear my dad shouting from behind then I hear his heavy footsteps follow me down the hallway. I turn around.

"Dad. What are you hiding from me?"I say looking at him.

"Jasmine. You need to understand. There are some things I cannot tell you. It's for our familias' safety." He puts his hand on my shoulder. "Princesa, please trust me. Just stay out of this one." He pleaded. As much as I love my dad, I need to find out what he's hiding, but at the same time he's right I should stay out of this one. "Remember, the new recruits are coming in today, keep an eye on them and then beat them into shape." He says giving me a hug. "Te amo princesa."(I love you princess)
