Leora is in shock right now. She's sure that this person can read her SOS massage. Her mind is jumbling from one possibility to another. Is this a trap? Or she's someone who will rescue her?

"What do you mean?" Leora asks. She thinks that acting stupid and being as innocent as she can, to trick this person, will be a better way out to discover what the bodyguard wants.

Leora doesn't want to gamble. If she admits that she knows what the bodyguard means, it may be a trap and Matteo will know about her plan. She doesn't want that. Or maybe this bodyguard is somehow an evil person from one of Matteo's enemies that try to kidnap her.

"I can read your message. It's in Hebrew. You are kidnapped by the boss and witness the killer that the boss doing."

"Who are you?" Leora can't avoid any of this again. She doesn't want to be a liar and she can't keep the innocent act again.

"I'm an undercover agent that spy on the Sicily mafia. I don't care if you believe me or not. I have my situation on my own. We can help each other. So?" The bodyguard asks her.

"Can you give me some proof? I need something to believe in you. I don't want to act recklessly." She asks.

"Smart move. But right now, I don't have anything to prove myself. I need to get out of this hell hole without being suspicious. I already finished my job, and we can get out of this together. I'll contact my agency and they'll pick us up. I just need the right time and day to get out of this. And you little girl, I need you to distract the big boss and lock him in one place. Can you do that?" The bodyguard asks.

"What is your name?" Leora asks. She can keep calling her bodyguard in her mind, and if she wants to trust this person maybe they can start with knowing each other names.

"Taylor. Do you need something else besides my name?" Taylor asks.

"Can I know what it's your mission to spy on Matteo?" Leora asks hesitantly.

"It's classified, but simply CIA needs to restrain some information that the boss steal from us," Taylor explains.

"Enough the chit chat. You can think if you want to collaborate with me or not. But right now we need to get out from the bathroom before someone suspects us."Leora nodded her head at Taylor's words. 

She looks once again at Taylor before walking ahead outside the bathroom. Matteo present outside the bathroom, shocked both of them. Thankfully Taylor can keep her poker face, while Leora runs to his hug without any consideration. Leora just needs to hide her shocked face in his chest. She just hopes Matteo doesn't hear any of their conversations.

Matteo was a little bit shocked by Leora's sudden hug. He wonders what makes her want to make any physical contact with him voluntarily, but he enjoys it every minute.

"Let's go home," Leora says still in his hugs. While Taylor went to her ordinary post.

"Hmm," Matteo says and walks out with Leora still in his arms.

Leora wants to step out from the hug but Matteo hugs her tighter. She looks up at him hoping he will let her go. Looking at her cute face looks at him hopefully, making him doesn't want to let her go. He carried her fully in his arms, with the sudden move, Leora hooks her legs in his waist and her arms in his neck. Her gasps make him chuckle lightly.

"What if someone sees?" Leora asks shyly while hiding her face fully in his neck.

Matteo can feel her warm breath in his skin. With all her body sticking closely to him and her sweet scent engulfing him, it makes him want to lose control and kiss her out of breath. He dismisses his animal instinct to defile her entirely.

"Let them be." He answers with a hoarse voice, making her blush.

She sticks close to him for the entire ride. He makes her sit in his lap for the entire ride. He even makes one of the bodyguards drive the car, while they cuddling in the back seat. She can't say she didn't enjoy his cuddling. Who will reject warm cuddling? There won't be any sane person who will give up cuddling, she thought. Who will think a bid-bad mafia boss is a cuddler? He is entirely a big teddy bear. Leora giggles at her thoughts.

His warm and his manly fragrant welcomed her to sleep. After all the hard morning practice makes her tired, she subconsciously snuggles deeply into his arms and sleeps. Realizing that his beautiful girl is asleep, he looks down from his phone to her sleeping face. A small smile creeps out from his stone face. He removes all her hair from her face and kisses her forehead sweetly.

There'll be a meeting for Matteo to attend and he needs to send her home. But for the first time, she volunteers to touch him so sweetly like this. He doesn't want to let her go even for a second. So he decides she will be stuck in his embrace for the entire day. That includes bringing her to his meeting with the Bratva don.

"Turn around. Go to the meeting." He simply commands the driver. Without any response, the driver turns around followed by the other cars of the bodyguards.

When they arrive at the private room in the hotel owned by him, a lot of people socks by the girl in his arms. The employees have never seen him so affectionate with a girl. They just see one of his flings but they will come separately from him.

Matteo walks slowly to the elevator followed by the bodyguards. He doesn't want to wake his beautiful girl, with so much care he is very cautious while caring for her. When they arrive at the room, the noisy room is suddenly silent with his deadly presence. He's glaring around the room, he doesn't want the noise to make his sleeping beauty awake.

The servants open the inner door for him to enter. The Bratva don and his consigliere are already in the room, including his right-hand man. They're shocked by the girl's presence in his arms. A girl's presence is not allowed in the meeting, but nobody is brave enough to state the laws to Matteo.

"Your new flings?" The Bratva don ask. Smirking at him and sipping his whiskey.

Matteo just glared at him and sat in the armchair. He carefully fixes her position in his arms so that she can rest comfortably. His acts make the men in the room shut their mouths. They know that the Sicily mafia finally has their donna. They can confirm it with so much care the don gives you his donna.

"Start the meeting." He speaks with a lot of authority in his voice.

"Congratulations to find the donna. Do you plan to bring her to the gala?" The Bratva consigliere says.

"Don't be ridiculous, she doesn't have a place in there. Are you sure you want to take her as a donna?" The don ridiculed him.

"I'll bring her." He says glaring at them. By stating this, he declares to every mafia in the gala that his companionship will be the rightful donna of the Sicily mafia
