It was early morning now and I could see the sun rising up from the balcony I was in earlier. Well yesterday was....unexpected I guess. Anyways I have decided to snoop around a little in the house and find out what am I exactly in because I can't be right everytime. And I have never seen a mafia or big business man living in a freaking castle which I have come across now.

But it will be after I come back from shopping with Isla, that is if this controlling jerk will let me go.

I needed to talk to Mayhem about Diana as soon as possible, knowing her she is probably getting ready with a search party in this city for me which is what I don't want. How hard can it be to go on good terms without someone whom I don't want finding me finds me. It's not that I don't want be found, I just don't want unnecessary drama over me with anyone for that matter.

I can't risk that, it took me years to escape not ever I want to be found by them by any chance even if it meant stopping Diana from finding me like a damn cult leaded.

I made my way downstairs only to see a bunch of men standing and talking in a group, all of them covered with black suits and dress pants so perfectly ironed. Some of them had watches hanging around their wrists while some had black or silver chain bracelets. Everyone became quiet the moment I stepped into the huge black victorian hallway.

A few men moved and I spotted Neil and Blade in the same suits but different colour ties. Neil with a silk lavender and blade with silver. Both of them looking like those millionaire bachelors who cover a magazine.

Blade took a glance at me and went back to the conversation they were having just having a way lighter voice this time than before. Neil excused himself from the group and walked over to me. "Why are you up so early ?" He questioned me with a slight smile And placing his hands in his pockets. "Well I was not really sleepy" I replied with a slight roll of shurgness in my tone. how do you tell someone you don't sleep unless you are unconscious or knocked out from stress ? And he doesn't needs to know that.

"Look, I am sorry you have to be here in a position where you can't do anything about it, if it makes you feel any better I had fun in the bar that day with you" I chuckled at his response knowing he liked me. "Thank you very much but what is gonna make me feel better is me tearing apart Mayhem's clothes from his wardrobe and cutting everything into shreds. And I need to find him, do you know where is he ?"

"Wait, you call him Mayhem ? Like address him with his first name ?" His voice reeked of confusion while he raised a eyebrow at me. "I called him jerkhead last night, I dont see the problem" "And he just let you call him names ?" his eyes narrowed and jaw dropped after speaking and I just nodded at him. "Where were you staying before you came here because I am sure you were not here."

"Some safe house ?" He nodded at me rubbing his nose, standing still , "so ? Where is he ?" Neil had opened his mouth to speak which within a second he looked behind me and held his gaze down, I quickly looked up behind me seeing Alejandro walking down stairs adjusting his tie matched with the red suit he was wearing and looking at it.

Being a smooth walker until he slipped his foot a bit with his newly black polished shoes being slippery on the second last stair from bottom which made him yank and land his foot straight to the ground without balance. Without thinking too much I pulled out my hand and grabbed his arm saving him from a flat fall on the face.

"That was close" I sighed and held him up. He regained his balance quick and stood facing against me. I removed my hand from his arm and put it behind my back without saying anything. I knew if I opened my mouth he is gonna start again with all his annoying comments.
