LORENZO POV

Today I would be meeting up with my uncle to discuss the trouble I have gotten into. Compared to the other crimes I've committed: murder, manslaughter, drug trafficking, weapon trafficking and so many more I can't count.

Uncle E was the one on my mothers side, and so he wasn't connected to the mafia but knows about our business.

As I was driving to the Law Firm, a series of honks and beeps play. I don't pay mind as they are up ahead but get disturbed by bumping into the car in front of me.

I get pissed off, the car pulled over to the side of the road and I followed suit to give them a piece of my mind. I'm the one to get out of the car first, they get out not long after.

"What the hell?!?" I shouted, their head shooted my way. I froze for a moment, greeted by the face of an Angel; blonde wavy hair and dark eyes that appear black but change into a honey colour in the sun.

I snapped out of whatever trans I was in, "you hit my car" I yelled. I was a  little bit my fault but was I going to admit that? No.

"It was also your fault, you were the one tailgating me" she stated with such calmness. I don't answer and instead pulled out a business card with my personal number in it, "listen Angel," I say using a nickname that fits so well "here's my business card, call me and I can show you how to really drive or rather ride" I say with a smirk.

Her calmness falls at the statement "no! Who the fuck do you think you are?!?"

I get a little confused, most females throw themselves at me. Just the suit alone tells them I'm rich, let alone the car sitting right in front of her.

Perra tonta, probablemente ni siquiera terminó la escuela.

(A/N- All translations are from google, if something is wrong pls comment so it can be corrected :)

"Fine" I said annoyed as I walked over to her car and placed the business card under the windscreen wipers. "Call the number and pay for the damage"

Without saying another word, I walk back to the damaged car and get in. I drive off to the law firm, there's no way I'm missing this from the third time this week.

————

I arrive at the law firm, my uncle is already waiting for me in the entry. "Your late" he says. "Traffic" I say walking past him to the office.

When we get there, I take a seat. We spend 35 minutes going over details of what happened before he said there was someone he wanted me to meet.

He tells his assistant to go get someone named Erika. The door opens back up and I turn around, only to see the face from this morning.

She looks confused and our eyes remain locked on till she sits. We both turn to my uncle waiting to be told what's going on.

"Erika, I would like to meet Lorenzo" he says gesturing to me. I take a glance at her but she doesn't look my way. "Lorenzo, meet Erika"

"Your probably wondering why your both here well Lorenzo," he turns me "I can't work with you on this case"

What? U can already see where this is going. He explains that he is "being forced" to retire and there's no point in starting this case if he's going to be leaving.

He explains the situation with Erika before handing her a file with the information she will be needing. He tells her to go to her office and that I will join her in a little bit.

Erika leaves the office and speak "what the fuck? What's the point in this"

"Oh I don't know, maybe Im retiring" he says sarcastically with a shocked expression.

I roll my eyes at his childish behaviour "my father is going to pay these people anyway, what the point"

"The case still needs to appear real, the case need to go on like any other would. Erika is highly trained and respected, making it more believable, and she'll be a good fit since I can't go on with the case"

I get up from my chair and whisper "this shit is stupid" before heading for the door and leaving. His assistant plays with her hair, "Erika's office is on the second floor, number 38." She says. I look at her and she continues "3rd floor storage room, be there lunch" she finishes with a wink and biting her lip. I turn my back and walk to Erika's office.

It takes me a bit to find her office, when I get there I knock and I here her angelic voice "come in".

I push the door open and her head rises from the file. I look of clear annoyance appears "so, breaking an entering huh?"

I walk over and sit in one of the chairs in front of the desk. "What into bad boys?" I tease.

She rolls her eyes, "so how we gonna get you out of this?" She questions.

My mouth opens slightly to tell her that my father was just going to pay me out, but playing this game seems like more fun "well i don't know, aren't you supposed to do that"

ERIKA POV:

I wanna kill my self already and the case has barley even started. The way I met this man wasn't ideal, us getting into some road trouble and then him offering me "driving lessons".

Now we have to work together to get his ass out of this shit. What do I get? Money, the only reason I'm here and haven't kill my self... yet.

Most people that come in here are rich kids that throw around daddy's money, or some old person with unpaid taxes. But his man fits into a hole new category- the "rich guy with too much money and bitches, that both fall out of his ass". Oh wait... no we already have that as a category.

Ugh, this is going to be a long case.
