After my little agreement with Alex he got one of his men to lead Leslie and I to our rooms, but even with me getting us this amazing opportunity to live in this mansion, Leslie is pissed. She hasn't said a word to me since Alex let me go. Well that's a lie she did say goodnight, and that she loves me when we dropped her off into her room. And soon after I got dropped off into mine. It was amazing. It had a king size bed with black and white covers, a fireplace in the middle of the room, and a huge window. I could get used to this. I walk into the closet to see lots of clothes. I'm gonna have to play dress up in here soon. I grab an oversized shirt and some shorts and put them on. I'm not tired so I decided to go to the kitchen and see if they have milk and cookies. Once I make it to the kitchen I see a girl. She doesn't look that much younger than me 18 maybe, with long brown hair and blue eyes.
"Well aren't you a cutie?" I say walking into the kitchen and she jerks her head up and looks me up and down.
"You must be the girl my brother was talking about." She says with a smile.
"Your brother?" I ask.
"Alex." She says.
"Oh, well what did he say, I hope it was good things only." I say with a smile knowing damn well that nothing he said about me was good.
"Well considering the fact that you tried to kill him, he said you were dangerous and that I should stay away from you." She says.
"Hm." I say nodding.
"But as you can see I'm talking to you. Because if he thought you were actually dangerous you probably wouldn't even be alive right now." She says turning around towards me as I struggle to set myself on the counter causing her to laugh.
"Well aren't you a little rebel? Not listening to your brother. What's your name?" I ask once I finally settle on the counter.
"Rachel, you?"
"Andrea, and I don't know if you've met her yet, but my friend upstairs is Leslie." I say and Rachel nods.
"So what brings you to the kitchen, Andrea?"
"Thank you for reminding me," I say getting off the counter. "Do you guys have any milk and cookies?" I ask.
"Yes, the milk is in the fridge over there," She says point at the refrigerator. "You can get the milk and I'll get the cookies." She says.
"Yes ma'am." I say walking to the fridge.
"I'm actually glad you guys are here, I was basically drowning in the toxic masculinity here." She says from the pantry causing me to laugh.
"Well, I'm glad we could help."
Rachel and I talked in the kitchen and ate milk and cookies for a while. I learned that Her, Alex, and Alex's closest friends in the mafia live here. The dog that almost got me killed name is Sebastian and much more. But our conversation was cut off when Alex walked in.
"Rachel, what did I tell you about her?" He says almost too calmly and I notice Rachel get stiff.
"I—" Rachel starts, but Alex cuts her off.
"I don't care Rachel go to bed." He says walking towards me as Rachel walks off.
"Goodnight, Rach." I say as Rachel disappears up the stairs.
"Way to be a buzz kill." I say shoving a cookie in my mouth as Alex approaches me.
"So I'm wrong for being scared for my sisters when she's around you?" He says as he takes out a cup of water.
"If you were really scared for your sisters saftey around me. I wouldn't be here, asshole." I say getting off the counter.
"Stay away from her." He says as I turn my back and I turn back around.
"I'll stay away from her if she wants me to." I say walking back to my room.

The next morning
"Get up you have to be at a meeting." Someone says. I groan and look at the clock on my nightstand to see it's only 7am.
"No." I say laying my head back on the pillow.
"It's required, you have to so get up." The voice says again and I groan louder. I stare at the ceiling for a while before finally deciding to get up. I throw my hair into a messy bun on top of my head then I follow the guy to what I'm assuming is Alex's office. I look around and see Leslie sitting to the left of Alex so I go sit in the free seat next to her. Once I get seated I look around and see that everyone is already dressed.
"Woah I didn't know there was a dress code." I say laughing.
"You're 10 Minutes late." The guy that was speaking for Alex yesterday says.
"Is there a problem? You guys could've gone on without me." I say.
"Shush." Alex says before the guy has a chance to say anything else.
"We need to talk about why you guys are here, what you're gonna do for me, and way more important things. I don't need you two arguing every ten seconds." Alex says.
"Tell that to the guy that has a large stick up his ass, not me." I say and Alex lets out an barley audible laugh which causes me to smile.
"Okay, let's start with the basics, Andrea. You will be working for me, meaning you will: go with my team and I on mission, some you might go on by yourself, attend the required balls, and attend the meetings we have with other mafias. In return we protect Leslie here." He says. I like the way he says my name.
"Yup." I say nodding.
"Anyone object?" Alex says and the same guy speaks up again.
"I do, I still don't trust her." He says.
"Oh my gosh, will you take the huge stick out of your ass. If I still wanted to kill Alex I would've done it by now." I say moving my hands around to make me seem more dramatic.
"Exactly why I don't trust her." The guy says completely ignoring me and looking at Alex.
"We'll considering she was sent to kill me that makes sense that you wouldn't trust her Jax, but she has skills. Skills that I need on my team, and I can't ignore that." Alex says. So his name is Jax.
"Why am I involved?" Leslie speaks.
"Andrea and I made the deal that she would be on my team as long as I keep you protected in return." Alex says and Leslie looks at me.
"You're fucking Crazy." Is all she says to me.
"I owe this to you, Leslie. Please just take it." I say and she lets out a sigh. Alex goes on about plans for the mission in a few weeks and the ball that's coming up soon. All I heard was I get to play dress up and show it off so I was excited. And from what I could see so was Leslie. Eventually the meeting ends and I practically run to my bed to go back to sleep.
