"Come on you can punch harder than that." Nicolas laughs as I throw everything I have into t punch I and on the glove on his hand. "wow you really are a princess." he laughs and my heart warms. The room fills with laughter, genuine laughter and my heart swells realising this may be the happiest the four of them have been in a very long time.

"Its a gift i'll have you know." I have warmed to them a lot since our trip in the car yesterday. We hit the gym again this morning, I advent seen Carter but instead my little group has been my only form on entertainment.

"the Monaco job has been moved to tomorrow again."Henry says as he slides his phone into his pocket.

"Why does it keep moving." I hesitate to ask yet Nico shakes his head at my fearful voice.

"Carter is worried about Mateo. He believes if we hit the Monaco spot it'll compromise our position and hell come for you." Cole explains and I nod my head. My hands slide over my stomach and is sigh.

"I bet daddy worried don't you." I whisper to my stomach yet the four men in front of me, their eyes flash with pity as I stroke my stomach.

"How come you work for Carter, you'll all decent men. Hes an asshole." I laugh and they all just shrug their shoulders.

"I was running with gangs from when I was sixteen. It was a ten grand buy out and my mama was worried so thats when Carter bought me out the gang. Little did I know that life as a gangster in the streets of Chicago is way more safer than this life." Cole explains and I nod.

"I owned a few companies in England. Carter invested into several fo them and before I knew it the man took my business. He was sly about out, took my lives work then offered me a job apart of his crew. I couldn't refuse that and he threatened me." Tyler says.

"My brother worked for Carter and when he died a few years back Carter contacted and I got roped in from there." Kian explains. His eyes flash with some form of emotion as he things about his brother I assume.

"what about you Henry." I ask and he sighs.

"I always worked in the underground. I worked for a man called Guiseppe a few years back, when Carter busted one of his clubs I was a kid. He took me under his wing and I grew up in this life." he explains and I smile.

"You remind em of my friends back home..." I trail off.

"their all so different. their funny." I explain, they sit on the gym floor as I sit on the bench. some would refer to me as a princess yet I would happily sit on the floor if it was easier to get up from than the bench.

"We know them, but tell us." Nico asks. Poking interest into my life seems suspicious but what harm could it do.

"Lorenzo, is caring. One of the most caring people I know. You probably only know them as being the monsters they are painted out to be but they acre for one another. They are a family, hold onto this." I say circling them and they look at one another. "Friends come and go but this a bond." I explain and they nod.
