Reign
Luca presses his thumb against the door handle and the meter beside it turns green.
Of course. Shame on me for thinking he'd give me a normal room.
The door opens and I step inside, it looks normal on the inside but there's a camera in each corner and no windows.
Ramírez comes in shaking his head at me. He quickly cares for my neck wound before leaving.
"Why so many cameras?" I see at least four.
"Because I don't trust you." He nonchalantly says.
"That's fair. But what about my privacy? I don't want you or your men staring at me the second I step out the shower."
"No cameras are in the bathroom." He says leaning against the door. "Don't get any ideas. And plus it's nothing I haven't seen before."
I roll my eyes at the unnecessary comment. "Okay, now what?"
"Now, you stay in this room until your body heals. Then we'll talk." He steps outside and shuts the door.

Luca
"How is he?" I ask the nurse.
"He's good, we're just waiting for him to wake up now." She says. I look through the glass window and see my father laying there, while Leila wipes his face. "Did you want to go in?" She asks and I shake my head.
"I have somewhere to be. I just came to show my face." She smiles and leaves.
"Tuo padre sarebbe deluso da te." I sigh at the voice. "Qui giace sul letto di morte e il figlio lo va a trovare solo una volta al mese."
(Your father would be disappointed in you.)(Here he lies on his deathbed and his son visits him only once a month.)
"Anche per me è un piacere vederti, nonno." I say. "Non mi sembra che lei sia andato a trovarlo più di due volte." His presence stands beside me.
(It's nice to see you too, grandfather.)(I don't recall you visiting him more than twice.)
He chuckles sarcastically. "First, I have a business to run. Second, i'm not about to be killed by some whore." He folds his arms across his chest. "A traitorous whore you put your cock into for months—"
"What is it that you want?" I ask getting pissed off.
"You're going to step down until—"
"I'm not stepping down from shit." I turn directly at him. "End of discussion."
"You're making our name look weak."
This motherfucker doesn't even have Mancini as his last name anymore.
"Grandfather, I am trying to be respectful as I can." I close my eyes. "But I don't need to step down and I don't need your help."
"It wasn't an option, Luca." He continues to test me.
"I'm really on my last straw." I lean my head up to the ceiling. "If you or any of your men come to where I reside, i'll kill you all." With that, I leave.

"Ah, Luca. How have you been?" Seongkwan asks me.
"I've been decent, how about you?" I ask sitting down.
"Alright. How's the fiancé?"
I have her locked in a room because she tried to kill me. "She's doing good."
