"Are all your servants girls?" Bella asks when they enter Jenna's mansion.

"Yeah, I don't need any men in my life," she comments, "I mean obviously I'm friends with Dacre and Finn, I just don't need them to work for me."

"That's cool," the brunette responds. Jenna leads them upstairs to their room, "wow."

The room has a massive bed, like theirs at home. But Bella is more interested in the projector screen mounted to the wall in front of the bed.

"Oh yeah, I have all the streaming services so you can watch whatever," the gang leader explains. Bella wanders to the bathroom, again, massive like theirs back at the Estate.

"So, this might be a dumb question, but do all of you guys have massive mansions and stuff?" Bella questions.

"Well, Dacre has a village," Sadie answers, "Finn has an underground bunker. He's kind of superstitious."

"Dacre has a village?"

"Oh yeah, his side of business is more civilian-friendly," Jenna adds.

"Jesus," the brunette comments, "I don't think I'll ever get used to the mansions. Everything is so... huge."

"Can I ask her a question?" Jenna asks Sadie. The mafia boss nods, "what was your home like before you came here?"

"I lived in a two-story house with my parents. Not much," she answers.

"What does two-story mean?" the gang leader asks.

"Like only two levels," Bella explains. The two raise their eyebrows.

"Well... how much land did you have?" Jenna asks.

"A driveway and one garage," she answers.

"Do they have mansions in the States?" the black-haired girl asks.

"Yeah, but for rich people. Like, Emma probably has a big house," she suggests.

"Interesting," Jenna comments. She gets a text on her phone, "I'll be back. I need to take care of some business."

Sadie nods.

"Okay," Bella answers. The gang leader leaves their room as Sawyer brings their luggage up, "thank you."

"Of course," she answers. Bella sits down on the bed.

"How come you don't have a lot of girl workers?" she asks.

"Well, my..." she stops herself from answering. A memory of her ex-girlfriend pops up in her head.

"Sadie, I want them fired!"

"Why? What's wrong, my love?" the redhead asks.

"Shut up with the 'my love', they're trying to sleep with you, don't you see?" the ex-girlfriend exclaims

"They're not trying to sleep with me. You're the only one I want, baby, I promise you," Sadie tells her

"If I'm the only one you want, you'll fire them."

"Darling..."

"Fire them!"

"I'm not going to do that," the mafia boss says more sternly. She grows tired of her ex-girlfriend giving her orders.

"Of course, you aren't, you fucking cheater."

Sadie approaches her ex in their bedroom, "I'm not cheating on you, I ——"
