"Gentlemen, please put your guns down. You don't want a bloodbath in your establishment. It's not good for business." Afonso says calmly.

But yet, no one makes a move to lower their guns.

I take a hold of Maceo arms, tugging it lightly. "Please Maceo." I beg lowly.

He looks at me out of the corner of his eye and sighs, tucking his gun back into his waistband. He nudges Matteo and he reluctantly follows behind him. I smile softly at both of them.

"Lucca." I mumble, walking tentatively. "He didn't mean anything. Just put the gun away, please." He doesn't falter whatsoever.

"I don't want to see this." And just like that, he tucks his gun away and Emilio follows right after with a relieved sigh.

"Now, that's better." Afonso states. "Like I was saying, who are you?"

Lucca places his arm around my waist in a protective manner. "Don't worry about that." Lucca sneers. "I think it's time for you guys to go."

Afonso raise a brow at Lucca, challenging him.

"Don't make me insist." Lucca grounds out.

Afonso nods. "No worries Lucca. I'll be seeing you soon." He turns to me and the twins. "It was nice to meet you and it's always a pleasure running into you two." He motions towards the twins.

With that, all three of them walk out of our private section.

"It was nice seeing you bonita. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other." Fillipe calls out as he heads out of the door.

I instantly stiffen up and Lucca tries to reach for his gun once again, but I take a hold of his hand.

"What the hell just happened?" I mumble to myself.

I hear the twins and Lucca talking to each other in rapid Italian. I just take a seat and try to catch my breath. Is this what I can expect if me and Lucca start dating? I let out a sigh and start to massage my temple. This is too stressful. Who were those guys anyway? Obviously they have some type of history with the Moretti's but why?

"Isabella?" I raise my head and see three pair of worried eyes staring at me. "Are you okay?"

I swallow, trying to moisture my now dry throat. "Am I okay?" I mumble to myself. "What was that? Is that normal for you guys?"

Lucca shakes his head. "We have a tight security but like he said, someone went against us, but they'll be dealt with."

"Dealt with? You mean kill them?" He nods his head.

I let out a shaky breath. "Okay... I don't think I can do this." I mumble.

"Do what?" Matteo ask.

"This. My friendship with you guys and my relationship with you Lucca. This is too much. And on top of that, I have to consider Carson! I can't have him being involved with this mess."

Lucca looks at me wildly while the twins exchange looks. "Nothing is going to happen to you guys." Lucca states.

I look at him like he's crazy. "Something almost just happened!"

"That's a rare moment." Lucca says firmly. "I don't even know why he came here knowing that it's going to stir something up. He asking for his death sentence, especially his sons." He spits out.

I shake my head. "I can't Lucca."

"Can you guys bring the car around?" Lucca ask the twins, well he demands the twins.
