AGONY

Chapter 6

Gabriela Sinaloa:

"Gabriela Sinaloa, it's good to see you again." I step out of the elevator, Leonardo taking my hand in his and placing a kiss on my knuckles. He grins at me and looks me up and down...his a good friend but this fucker needs to stop staring at me like I'm a piece of meat he will enjoy.

"Leonardo...it's great to see you too." I flinch...my wound, shit.

"Are you okay?"

"Never been better." I inhale sharply. "This is Mario Genovesese. My partner in crime at the moment."

Leo....glares at Mario with a dangerous look in his blue eyes, Mario is much taller than Leonardo....with his dark hair perfectly in place and blue dark eyes that could stare into your soul.

Mario shakes Leonardo's hand the atmosphere is uncomfortable and tense I don't care what these two went through decades ago...but I need something way stronger than coffee at this moment.

"Okay...it's time to get going I need some alcohol at the moment and any type of pain killer." I smile at both assholes staring at each other like they want to rip each other's skins off.

"Mario...I haven't seen you in a long fucking time."

"Yeah, I've been busy."

"So I've heard, and you also heard you tried taking my girl here. Is that right?" Leonardo asks.

Oh for fuck sake.

"Oh, so she's your girl?" Mario says with a dangerous tone in his voice.

"No. I'm no one's fucking girl." I step in front of both of the men. "First of all, I'm a woman. And second I don't have time for shit Like this at the moment I'm in desperate need of alcohol, and my head is killing me and you two aren't making it better. So please shall we leave?"

"As you wish Mrs. Sinaloa," Leonardo says Turing on his heel heading for the door to his black SUV.

"What the fuck was that?" I stare at Mario.

"I just don't trust him."

"Well, we don't have any other choice now do we. The more people we have on our side the better. We may not be able to fight this on our own." I sign.

"I know. But that still doesn't change the fact that it is Leo we are working with. And you are right...." He smiles that's the first time I have ever seen it before...he has a dimple on his left cheek.

"About what?"

"You are a woman...and one badass woman."

I smirk at him. I look down as heat covers my cheeks.

"Well, Mario we better go before I may just drag your ass out there myself. Wounded or not. I'm a badass woman after all." I look up at him with a smirk on my face.

We walk to the entrance of the hotel Mario opens the door for me as we jump in the SUV and are on our way to Leonardo's safe house. There are more guards in the car behind us...Leonardo's security is very safer than many mafia businesses in the world that's why we need him just so we can make plans.

I just need to think straight that's all.

Mario Genovesese:

I want her. Not only for her business. But for the woman she is herself. She's beautiful and fucking gorgeous...and so dangerous.

From the moment she stepped into my office all I could ever think about was her. The way she had so much confidence, I could stare at her for hours, and never get tired of this woman's voice or the way she fights, Or the way she fucking hates me and doesn't even try to hide it.
