I wake up at around six in the morning, another Monday. Just five more days until I turn eighteen. I get up and head into Lucas bathroom to shower, leaving him still asleep in the bed. I walk in and take off my shirt, lightly touching the bruises. All my stomach was covered in bruises and my neck had a hand imprinted on it.
I go in and shower quickly, not wanting Luca to come in and see my bruised body. Once I'm done, I dry and start applying concealer on my neck and over my stomach. I get dressed into a pair of jeans and a long sleeve blouse. I dry my hair quickly and put it up in a bun, then apply concealer under my eyes, mascara and a tinted lip gloss. I walk out of his bathroom to see Luca in a phone call.
"I'll be there in an hour. Make sure Giovanni is there by when I arrive." He says before hanging up.
"I can drop you off at school, but I won't be there and neither will any of my friends, or you could come with me and spend the day at my warehouse." He tells me
"I'll go with you. He might try to go find me in school."
He nods and tells me he just has to shower real quick. As soon as I hear the water running, I walk into one of my bags and grab a gun out of it and make sure it's full of ammunition. I put on the safety and place it behind my jeans. I trusted Luca, but his men were people I didn't know, they were estraneos to me. Men that I could not rely or trust on and Lorenzo made his feelings towards me clear, so I had no doubt that some men wouldn't like me. I open a bag that had a burner phone inside and some money. I take some of the money out and put it in my wallet and into my purse. I start closing and locking everything before Luca comes out.

Once we get to the warehouse, he leads me in and goes up into the same office from the other day. He unlocks it and waiting outside the door was Giovanni and Enzo.
"You are now with me." Luca tells Enzo, "and you, are out on routes."
"I did that yesterday. Give me something else, you could send any other idiot to do routes." Giovanni complains.
"You will do what I told you to do, if you finish them early then you get the rest of the day off." Luca says and Giovanni just walks away.
Once Giovanni leaves, we all go inside the office. Luca sits behind the desk and I sit next to Enzo in the chairs in front of the desk.
"Did Vincent give you the video tape?" Luca asks
"Not yet, I'm still waiting on it. What are you gonna do to him?"
"To who?" I ask out loud.
Enzo stares at me and then at Luca but stays quiet.
"It doesn't matter, don't worry about it." Luca tells me.
Just then a knock is heard, and Luca tells them to come in. Vincent walks in alongside Carlos, Vincent holds a usb drive in his hand and hands it over to Luca.
