I'm currently outside of my family's house and guess who I'm waiting for. Lorenzo Albani.

He texted me last night about going on a mission, blah blah blah, to get to know each other better, blah blah blah, he got the phone number from my dad, blah blah blah.

I'm still angry about the whole arranged marriage thing, but I am angrier at my dad for not telling me he even considered marring me off to someone.

I wave to Sofia as she leaves on her motorcycle to whatever mission my dad sent her to, when a black matte Ferrari pulls in from the other way. The window rolls down to reveal Lorenzo "Hello tessoro" he says smirking. I roll my eyes and walk over to the other side getting into the drivers seat.

He starts driving "How was your night Anastasia?" . "It would've been better without you texting me" I talk back and he lets out a raspy laugh "Yours?" I then innocently ask. His expression becomes serious as he says "My men got some intel about where one of the Mexicans warehouses would be, that's where we're going right now". "What is the point in going, we're not gonna steal from them, like they steal from us". "The point is they traffic humans, girls in that warehouse" Lorenzo says, his voice cold.

Why would a Mafia boss would care so much about women trafficking. He doesn't say anything and nor do I, until he pulls over and gives me directions in the warehouse. He also told me some cars are coming to pick the girls and take them somewhere safe.

"I expected more guards" I whisper to Lorenzo holding my gun and he mumbles in agreement.

We take a left, towards the room the girls are kept in. At this point I couldn't care less about who my mission partner is, my only goal is getting these girls to a safe place. This place is too quiet.

Me and Lorenzo take a few more steps towards the room, when we hear a gunshot from inside and a bunch of screams. My stomach turns. "How long until your cars arrive?" I ask my voice shaking. "Around ten minutes". Okay I can work with that.

Once we get closer we can see that the door is cracked open and with one look I see a bunch of girls and a shit ton of guards.

"If you don't stay quiet and do as your told, I'll put a dozen bullets in your heads" a man with a thick accents says. I look at Lorenzo with wide eyes, but he just stares at the man. If only looks could kill, that man would be dead, on the floor.

Where he is, a moment later when Albani shoots him with no warning. There is no time to argue. We burst in and I throw punches at any guard that approaches me. I'm too afraid to shoot in this chaos. I might hit one of the girls or Lorenzo. I knocked two guards down and I hear another gunshot and Lorenzo groan.

Fuck, they got his left shoulder.

That's when I start shooting, knowing our chances in winning are tight with Albani hurt and bleeding.

It seems like a lifetime while I take the guards down one by one, while Lorenzo fights loosing blood, while the girls scream and hide wherever they can.

A guard comes from behind and hits the back of my head with his gun and my vision goes black for a second while I fall on my knees.

I then quickly twist my leg, the man falling, now laying flat on the concrete floor. I get up grabbing my gun, shooting his leg. While I run to backup Lorenzo on the other side of the room I reload my gun with the bullets I sneaked in my jacket.

I shoot the two guards that cornered him and rush to help him stand.

I hear footsteps in the hallway and my heart skips a beat, but I just see Micah and another twenty men and women helping the girls.

Micah comes towards us and checks Lorenzos wound "The bullet came out the other way, he doesn't need stiches, but he needs bandages to stop the bleeding and help the wound heal quicker". "I'm gonna help him, you take care of the girls" I say and I, myself cannot believe the words that just came out of my mouth.

Micah seems hesitant but nods.

I rush Lorenzo outside putting him in the passengers seat "I can drive" he complain wincing. "No you can't" I say closing the door and I get in the drivers seat. "You're gonna have to give directions to your place" I say and he nods.

Ten minutes later we are at his place, rushing to the kitchen.

(this is what Lorenzos kitchen looks like)

"Under the sink" he grunts. And I rush there, finding a first aids kit.

I disinfect his wound and he whines, throwing his head back. God Anastasia pull it together. After I'm done cleaning I throw the cotton balls and text Sofia to pick me up, giving her the details of the location.

I am half way through bandaging him and he says "You were so hot back there". My stomach starts doing weird shit and I look up at him. Thank God I don't blush easily. Stop. "You lost a lot of blood" I say trying to get myself out of the situation. "That doesn't change the fact that you are hot."

'Are'. Anastasia stop.

"Done! I'm heading out now" God I just wanna get out of this situation. "But how are you gonna get back to your place" he sits up, but groans in pain and quickly lays back down.

"I texted my friend to pick me up" I heading towards the door and getting out, only to find Sofia waiting on her motorcycle with a spare helmet. "I want every detail" I scoff grabbing the helmet "Of course you do".

1007 words.

Ok so is Anastasia starting to kinda like Lorenzo or was it the fact that he helped the girls that made her help him...
