~I've always had 2 big mysteries left unsolved in my life.The first being what it felt like to be in love. The other being the feeling of death. He gave me the opportunity and pleasure of experiencing both.

I woke up slightly startled by the same dream I have every night except it wasn't as intense as usual. Usually with stress they get worse but I seem alright.
It's 8:00 am and Alisa isn't beside me anymore.
I stretch and get out of bed to make my way to her bathroom.
I don't really have any of my stuff since it's at the hotel so i'll have to do that later today.
For now I use the spare toothbrush Alisa lended me and the extra skincare she had.
I try to freshen up but stay in the comfortable clothes she let me sleep in.
Grey sweats and a white tank top will have to work for now.
I take a minute to remind myself of my mission and the goal. It's very easy to fall into the role you're playing.
As I'm walking out of her room and heading to the staircase...
"Mother fucker- owww," The sound of Lucas' voice interrupts my train of thought.
I start to go down the hall where the sound is coming from what I assume to be his room.
"Luca?"
"Oh heyy princess, I stubbed my toe, fucking corner of the bed," he says while laying on the ground dramatically.
I can't help but smile a little from his utter stupidity. How could a man who works for the Italian mafia be so childish?
"You need ice for your toe?" I ask jokingly.
"No, I'll be fine, thank you." I notice he looks me up and down.
It's too damn early for this. The wrong Moretti is flirting with me.
We head downstairs together and he shows me to the kitchen.
Entering the kitchen I see Alisa leaning over the counter and a huge smile is brought to her face when she sees us enter.
"Good morning roomieeee , did you sleep well?"
"How are you not hung over? and yes it was incredible sleep, thank you."
"She's used to it by now," Luca replies for her.
Suddenly I get a strong sense of a newly familiar cologne and feel a presence behind me.
I look over at Alisa and try to ignore Domenico, "I'm going to head over to my place quickly and pick up a few things, I'll be back soon."
"Not a problem, we have to discuss last night's drama and when you're back we'll set up your room and talk more."
"I'll get my driver for you," Domenico says, already typing away on his phone.
"It's no problem I can get my own,"
He looks up at me and his jaw twitches.
"No, you're under our protection now, our house, you're taking my driver so I know you safe especially after last night."
"Yes sir," I say, rolling my eyes and heading to the door.
He stares at me intensely for a moment before walking away with the others.
...
I make it back to the hotel and grab my suitcase. I'm slightly annoyed that I wasn't invited to cette meeting to find out the details but I'm sure I'll get them later. I can't act too suspicious.
They practically just met me.
I then get back to the Moretti's estate safely and smoothly.
I hear distinct chatter coming from down the hall when I enter but decide to avoid it incase I get caught.
It's only my first day, I can retrieve all the information a tad later.
Besides, Max is lingering around the place so I'm sure he's got some sort of intel as well.
Rule number one is to act as clueless and casual as possible, until the very last moment.
I sneak up to Alisa's room and she happens to be there.
"Perfect, you're back, let's go set you up!"
We walk around the halls with all the rooms and I enter one that sticks out from the others.
This one has a balcony with the most beautiful view. Overlooking a bit of Italy and the water below the estate.
The Moretti's estate is on a high hill overlooking water.
"Oh wow."
"I think you've picked your pick," Alisa laughs.
"This is too good to be true, seriously how can I repay you?"
"Stop it already, oh and about that, I spoke with my brother and Luca and they said your more than welcome to help out at the club. They needed more bartenders or bottle girls, so if your interested, consider your repayment done. I help out on weekends for fun so don't worry."
"Absolutely, yes, thank you, I could kiss you right now."
We laugh and hug.
This whole interaction makes me feel weird and I now miss Amara.
"Just a heads up, Nico's room is the one directly across from yours, the only shitty part about this, sorry your stuck with the asshole in front your face but my rooms right around the corner if anything."
