Katerina's P.O.V

"Please just sit down and we'll explain" Tallis says, motioning back to my seat.

"Kat, come on" Roman rubs the back of my hand and  his green eyes helping me to calm down. I took a second before retaking my seat.

The woman next to me, her eyes not leaving my own, I couldn't help but stare and she too knew that she couldn't stop herself but stare.

"That's why you invited us back here? You knew?" I look to Tallis and he nods his head.

"I knew your plans where to seduce me, gain the money, 7 million of Otis's and kill me, I have rats everywhere Katerina" Tallis smiles at me, his eyes looking at me, like he is proud.

"Although it seemed like you knew, that I knew your plan" he says tapping to his shoulder that I threw the knife in.

"You asked me for whiskey, it's an old trick, one you used a lot, sometimes it means I know something you don't. Or it was used on whores" I say to him, raising my own eyebrow.

"I have rats too" I smirk at him, he seems to gulp deeply and nod his head seemingly proud of me, why do I feel excited by that?

"Well, you knew and then I was shocked that you stabbed me, good aim by the way. Then you tied me up and either the idea of my daughter killing me crossed my mind but I knew it would stop when Roman came through the door" Tallis points to Roman, who's hand is still on my thigh.

"Then I confessed that I don't have the money. And gave it to Otis, although I'm sure you are guessing now that I didn't actually give him the money?" Tallis seems pleased with himself, I felt the anger boil even more.

"That's my money" I say, trying to keep my breathing calm and steady but I couldn't.

"It will be, after we finish here" Tallis says, I try to rest my jaw feeling it getting tighter from grinding my teeth.

"Ah yes! Please finish this off, how about you get to the part where I've been calling a man father for the past 22 years and he's not actually my god damn father" I slam my fist on the table. Roman sits up straight and looks to my.... Well.... Father?

"I'd like to hear that part too" Roman speaks rather lowly as if he is commanding him.

"When you where little, Antonio and you ran around like the world isn't one that is full of bad people, one day you ran a bit to far. Antonio cried for days when he told us he lost you. We didn't know that Otis took you from plain sight, you where only 8......." Tallis's wife says with tears in her eyes.

Well that explains why Antonio keeps staring at me, like a dear in headlights.

"We searched for months, Otis is one man who is hard to find, we could never find him but then we had a lead because you where in Italy with the Lombardi family, we put it around town and in the underground that you where here. That's why when Fernando found you, you where a rat for Lombardi, he didn't torture you. You aren't a Balekin, you're a De Luca" Tallis says and his smile rather wide, I always wondered why Fernando didn't torture me.
