Cold to the touch and an even icier heart, Italian Mafia leader Kai Morello is true to his word.
"Never back down and never give up."
Until it comes to Scarlett D'Angelo. Spanish Mafia leader's daughter, and his worst enemy.
When they cross paths o...
I fixed the tie around my neck and straightened out my suit.
I wanted to look good for her. Because no doubt she'll be the focus of tonight. No matter what she looks like, she's always beautiful.
My stomach turned with anxiety. I couldn't tell if it was from seeing Scarlett or tonight.
Whenever I get a bad feeling, unfortunately, something bad always seems to happen.
I pick up my phone, calling Scarlett for the seventh time in the last hour.
Her laugh comes through and I smile, "I'm okay Kai. Still here, getting ready in my bedroom." I could faintly hear Ariana Grande playing in the background.
"Good, I'm just making sure."
I paused for a bit, "I'm leaving now. See you soon."
Hanging up soon after, I grab my masquerade mask and my keys.
"Look at you handsome." Joseph winks, coming out of his room with a suit on.
I had invited him as well. Since Scarlett and I both got invitations with a plus one, I decided to bring my brother. Extra back up, just in case.

Logan was waiting by the door when I went in, nodding at me. We exchanged a few words before Joseph and I hopped in the elevator.

"Hi boys." Scarlett winked, fixing her earring in the floor length mirror in her living room. My mouth fell opened, completely stunned at the girl in front of me.
Her strawberry-blonde hair was curled and pinned to her head, complimenting her black dress. She had feathers for sleeves with a slit up the side, sequins shining from the train of the dress all the way up to the breast area, where the split off into opposite sides.

"You look..." I was speechless, at a loss for words.
Scarlett giggled, her heels lightly tapping against the hardwood floors. Even with the added height, I was still an inch or two taller than her.
"Hello sweetheart." I smiled when she came over to me, "I like you in a suit." She flirted.
I winked, "I like you in a dress."
I looked down to admire her more when I noticed her braless chest. Her nipples were hard and poking through the fabric.
Someone behind us cleared their throat, "Hi Scarlett, you look amazing." Joseph smiled.
