Lexi Duncan has gone through hell and she would do it again if it meant protecting her younger sister Ivy.
After an already difficult journey she finds out her father was a mafia boss and this causes another mafia to become very interested in her...
It had been a while since I had seen Kol which was a great surprise. I realized my freedom was limited to my room and the training room and the same walls were getting quite boring. I hadn't left my room all day so I was getting up to go find Charlotte when I run into Ash in the hallway.
" Hey," I say giving a little wave. He just glances at me slightly then continues making his way down the hallway. After a few minutes of looking for Charlotte I head back to my room because I can't seem to find her anywhere.
About an hour later Charlotte walks into the room. " Hey where were you I was looking for you earlier," I say smiling.
" Sorry but I was picking up this," She explains showing me a beautiful black dress.
" Wow, when are you wearing that," I ask shocked.
" Oh no it's not for me," She says giving me a look.
" For me?" I question. She nods my head with a large smile on her face. " Why?" I ask with a confused expression on my face.
" It's for tonight. They have a large party for the whole mafia each couple months and Ash invited you," She explains joyously.
" Ive gotta say I'm surprised. I think he's said a total of two sentences to me the entire time I've been here."
" Well the party's in an hour so you better start getting ready," She states starting to walk off.
" Any chance you might wanna stay, ya know do my hair?" I question.
She smiles as if this is the first time anyone has asked to hang out. " I'd love that,"
Charlotte and I just hang out and chat as I am finishing up getting ready for the party. " You look beautiful," She gushes.
" It's all because of you," I say thanking her for doing my hair and makeup. Also telling how I had a wonderful time hanging out.

I take one last look in the mirror at the long black dress then head out the door. Before I even start to walk down the stairs I can hear the men downstairs yelling and drinking. As I walk down the stairs I feel eyes on me. A butler takes my hand and I go to sit next to Ash.
All the men around me are very drunk which is making me really uncomfortable. I've taken sips of drinks all night but have never finished a glass. Most of the time my dad was drunk so that didn't give me a really good experience with alcohol. The man to my right since Ash was to my left had tried to start up conversation.
" What's your name?" He asks curiously.
" Lexi" I nod
" Hi Lexi, I'm Carlos"
" Carlos nice to meet you,"
I had started to eat a little dinner just picking at the food on my plate. When I feel Carlos's hand on my thigh. I glance over at him and when I see him looking at me and send him a small fake smile.
