Leviathan's light blue orbs shifted quickly from the hard tiled floor to his brothers stern gaze, raising a brow at Boris questioningly as he stared at him. "You don't have time to day dream, Mladshiy Brat." He had dazed off again, nothing unusual as he'd always find himself lost in the depths of his own mind— freedom being his sole thought. A small sigh escaped his lips as he raised a hand to push back his disheveled black hair, his gaze remained locked on Boris with gentle, tired eyes. "I apologise, Brat. I'm tired, my wife kept me from my sleep." Leviathan spoke softly, a slight crack in his voice as he let out a quiet yawn. "Da... Speaking of the devil, Petra has been calling for you all day. You should get to her before she comes looking for you herself." Boris' lips curved just slightly after speaking, winking an eye as he looked down at his sibling to catch a reaction. Leviathan gulped at this, but shifted his body to sit up straight and chuckled anxiously.
Petra held some sort of dominance over her husband, one that was quite possessive and frightening. Jealous rage was common, and usually stirred up their relationship, however they were bound by a forced marriage— one that held peace between both Los Costa Notra and the Russian Bratva. Neither could leave the other, and though Petra had fallen deeply for Leviathan, he was stuck with a woman he had little feelings for. Of course, he couldn't admit that.

A loud slam struck throughout the large room causing the two brothers to throw their head in the direction of the door, suddenly seeing it wide open with a figure standing beside it. There stood a slim woman of average height, her blue eyes narrowed as she reached up to push the long, blond strands of her hair away from her face. Her teeth clenched, jaw tightening as she caught sight of Leviathan sitting beside Boris' working desk. "Petra, dorogoy." Leviathan spoke softly and calming, hoping to ease his vexed and aggressive wife. "Where have you been?" Petra calmed just slightly at the sight of him, but held a hard gaze toward Leviathan. "Leviathan has been here with me." Boris spoke up as he came to a stand, turning his head toward Leviathan. Petra simply nodded and eased completely, a small and half-hearted smile creasing on her lips. "Donna!" The voice was faint, but caught the attention of all three individuals as they turned to face the door yet again. Almost immediately after the voice was heard, a tall, slightly muscular male rushed into the room, halting just after the door frame respectfully. Leviathan had recognized him almost immediately as Petra's Consigliere, or right hand man, Luca. He'd see the male regularly, but there was very little conversation between the two as they usually only shared glances w. "An associate wishes to do business with both of you, he's waiting downstairs at the gate." Luca told the two leaders, earning only a nod before they began to walk out. "Stay here, both of you. I'll be back soon." Petra turned to face Leviathan with a glare that could only symbolize as a warning before disappearing.

Once the footsteps finally faded Luca quickly, but gently shut the door before turning around to face Leviathan with an expression of stone. Questioningly, Leviathan raised a brow at the other; His sudden behavior struck him as odd. "What're you—" He was quieted by the male as a hand was placed over his mouth, Luca whispered softly, this caused small bumps to trickle throughout Leviathan's pale skin, and his eyes to widen in dismay. "Don't speak..."
