Let's get packing
It was a short drive to the new house, separate and within its own land stood a beautiful 3 story building, 10 bedrooms with 8 bathrooms including 3 en suites.
A beautiful garden front and back filled with the most beautiful plants and decor, the inside gave off dark aesthetic vibes with dark stone grey walls and marble counter tops.
It was dark, but cosy.
7 of the bedrooms faced the back and sides whereas the main 3 overlooked the front. The building was full of glass windows top to bottom letting in as much light as possible until the curtains were drawn.
It had a home gym twice the size we had now along with an indoor pool, games room, wine cellar, and much more. The main entrance as we walked in opened up with spiral open stairs either side and a gorgeous crystallised chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
"So what do you think"? Enzo asks following me around as I explore. "It's beautiful", i say becoming even more excited through each room discovered.
"There's one more room you haven't seen", he says smiling leading the way. We come to a white oak double door with a silver handle. "But first close your eyes", he says covering my eyes with his hands as we walk in.
"Are you ready"? He asks as I hold onto his arms. "Yes".
Releasing his hands from around my face I open my eyes to see the most perfect room ever. I see plain mannequins lined up against a wall with a large island table in the centre, draws upon draws of all sorts of materials and accessories along with shelves stacked with books and boxes with buttons, tags and labels, along with ribbon and other bits and bobs.
Walking round to the back I see a large pin board with all my designs out of my folders and books previously hung together and scattered around by silver pins and pieces of ribbon.
"My designs", i say trailing my hand across a couple of them. "It's a design studio just for you", he says still standing at the door. "I had this room specially made for you and you only no one will be allowed in here unless u say otherwise", he adds. "Apart from me of course", he says with a smile.
"This must of cost a fortune", i says till searching the drawers and shelves at all the different materials. "I'll take it that you like it"? He asks as I nod. "I love it, thank you no one's ever done something like this for me before", I reply.
"I already placed down the deposit if your okay with us living here from now on we can move in in around a couple days time", he says.
"We can", I say pulling him in for a kiss. "I'll let them know then", he says with a smirk. "Let's get packing".

It was 7 o'clock the next day when we finished saying our goodbyes to Enzo's family and friends that had came by to say hello, both his parents were due to come down in a weeks time.
"Have you enjoyed yourself amore", Enzo says looking over from his phone. "Very thank you and thank you again for the studio it means a lot", i say smiling back. "Im glad, now you can make all the designs you like with no one disturbing you", he replies.
Throughout our drive back to the house Enzo had calls upon calls coming through that he hadn't answered whilst we were away unless it was an emergency.
We arrived home shortly after as his last call came to an end, i was desperate to know what they were all about but didn't want to sound nosey. I helped the driver with the bags as Enzo stood out from the car walking straight into the house leaving me outside.
"Don't worry miss black I can take these for you", his driver says closing the boot. "No please allow me to help at least most of it is mine anyway", i say smiling.
Making my way inside his driver insisted on carrying all bags upstairs for me which I allowed as it gave me some time to make a drink and something to eat.
Walking round I saw almost no one which was odd except from the men stood at each doorway and exit. "Where is everyone", I ask one of them as they just stand there blanking me. "Rude", i say walking upstairs in hopes to find Enzo in his office.
Which he wasn't.
I bump into Lexi along the way as she fast walks down one of the connecting corridors. "Omg hi I didn't know you got back I'm really sorry but I'm late", she says stopping in her tracks. "Oh don't worry that's alright where did everyone go"? I ask as she walks past before turning around. "There's a meeting the cartel leader of the gang member Enzo killed has been seen again close to here", she says walking away.
'Shit' I mumble to myself walking to the room to unpack.
It had been a couple hours since I'd been back, I finished unpacking my stuff leaving Enzos bags beside the bed as I didn't want to go looking through his things, I had had a shower to freshen up before deciding to go on a look out for him.
Getting changed I make sure I cover myself up with an oversized shirt making my way down towards his office. Walking in I see no one once again so I decide to go down towards their meeting room. Placing my ear against the cold wooden door I hear talking from inside and enzos voice.
I leave it be before making my way to the kitchen finding Isla sat at the counter eating strawberries. "The meetings still on"? I ask as she looks up from her phone. "Yeah it'll probably be on for another hour or so at least I just came in to grab a snack", she says cutting the strawberries up.
"Care to enlighten me on this situation", i say smiling as she shakes her head. "I really can't say much I'm sorry but I'll tell you a little bit if you promise not to tell a soul", she says patting the stool beside her. "Deal", i say walking over taking a seat.
"So cameras over town have spotted Giovanni in a black Mercedes' driving around the past couple days whilst you guys were away", she says passing some strawberries to me. "We have no idea why because he's been in hiding for a while but apparently he's started business down here once again", she adds.
"Again"? I question as she nods. "Yes again he used to do business down here before he got into trouble which is why he went into hiding, he's started dealing hard drugs the tricky ones to get your hands on as well as weapons, which we cannot allow", she says.
"We are the only main mafia in this area that deals armour and weapons, having him doing this will really take down the sales and interfere with our local customers if gio sells them for less", she says.
"So what are you going to do"? I ask. "We have no idea at this point Enzo thinks we should just go straight and kill the bastard in his words". "But we need to set up some sort of meeting to really see where he's at".
"Like an undercover meeting which we will have people go for us so he won't be familiar with their faces, we will place wires so we can hear the full conversation and tape it so we know exactly where he's at", she says.
"What's the worst that could happen", i say as she finishes eating placing her plate in the sink. "We have no idea Giovanni is one man you don't want to mess with he's brutal one foot wrong and it could be over so we really have to work on this to ensure we make no mistakes hence why the meetings long, it can go on for days even weeks", she says.
"What if he finds out about enzo killing one of his men", i say. "He won't unless someone tells him, which will not happen", she says. "I really have to get back I'm sorry I'll speak to you tomorrow probably don't wait up", she says smiling saying her goodbyes for the night.
"Bye".
