The next morning, only Sabrina and Jenna remain at the Estate. Jenna and Sadie are off to handle more business when Sabrina asks, "Can I take Bella to Greece for the day? Show her around my palace?"

Sadie is wary of the idea, especially since Bella is not really supposed to leave the Estate.

"I don't know, Brina... that's risky," the redhead says.

"Just for the day, your drivers can take us and I'll have a radio, you can ask me to bring her back anytime," the blonde pleads. Bella wants to go too, wanting to see what Sabrina's gang is like.

The mafia boss gives in, "Okay, but if a single hair follicle of hers is damaged, I'll kill you myself."

"Yes Ma'am," Sabrina raises her hands in defense. Bella smiles and kisses her girlfriend on the lips.

"Thank you," she smiles.

"Be safe, cara mia," the redhead instructs in a nicer tone. She pulls out her walkie, "Denmar, prepare a car for Bella and Sabrina. Grab an extra walkie as well."

"Yes Ma'am," he answers. The two girls head off towards the garage, Sadie and Jenna watching them leave.

"You're putting a lot of trust in Sabrina," Jenna comments.

"I know," she sighs, "But I don't want to keep Bella from having friends or being happy. She seems happy to have you guys around."

"She is," the black-haired woman confirms, "she'll be okay. Sabrina won't let anyone hurt her."

"I hope not," Sadie sighs, "all right, let's go."

While Jenna and Sadie go right to work, Sabrina and Bella start their drive to Greece with Denmar.

"I can't wait to see, I've never been to Greece," Bella comments as they drive through Italy.

"It's beautiful, much like Italy, but different in its own ways," Sabrina explains, "we could possibly stop by Dacre's too, but I don't want to invite ourselves over you know?"

"Yeah, no I get that," the brunette agrees, "I'm surprised Sadie let me go. I'm not supposed to be seen for like two years."

"Well, out in public, yeah. But my palace is private. Just my servants and I," the blonde says, "I think that's why she let you go with me, she knew you were safer than out in public."

"True," Bella says, "Can I ask you a weird question?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Do you think the others like me? I mean, I feel like I'm only friends with you out of all the others," the brunette explains.

"Oh, of course! This life is just different when it comes to friends. Especially since you are Sadie's girlfriend," Sabrina answers.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, since Natalia and Dacre are allies with Sadie, their girlfriends had to become friends anyways," the blonde explains.

"So they're being forced to be friends?" Bella frowns.

"In a way... yes... but, they are actually very good friends. And when other allies get into relationships, we automatically assume their partners are friends," Sabrina explains, "otherwise, anyone else... even civvies, are considered enemies."

"Really?"

"Yeah, we don't trust easily in this life," she continues, "they're all super happy to be friends with you, we just have a weird way of showing it. Especially when it comes to handling business. Our first job is to protect the partners of allies before ourselves."
