Sam tucks her head and leaves the room . Roberto walks over to where I am standing and stops when he gets close to me . He runs his hand through my hair and down the curve of my face where he traces my jaw with his finger from there he goes down to my collar bone . I shiver from his touch . " What did you want to talk to me about ?" He asks me . I sit down on his bed and open my folder " What all do you know about Victor ? What all did he tell y'all when I left ?" I ask him .

He looks at me confused " I know he is the oldest and the first boss over the Mafia . I know he is the Godfather . I know no one dares cross him . His word is law . "He says I nod I already knew that much . " What did he say when I left ?" I ask him since he didn't answer my question . " He told Viere if he knew what was good for him he would take you up on your offer that you don't make threats when you say something your word is law and you follow through . He also warned everyone that once we left after finding out who Ghost was that we could never touch you . He also personally threatened me and told me that if you gave me a second chance that I better take it and run . " Roberto's says . He sits down on the bed next to me . He pushes my hair off my shoulder and places a kiss in the crook of my neck ." Why do you want to know about Victor ? Isn't he the one who bought you in as Ghost ?" Roberto asks me I nod " Yes he is." I tell him as I hand him my file ." Before you open this and read what is inside . I need to know what you are about to see stays between you and I ?" I ask before I remove my hands off the file . Roberto nods " I won't say anything . You ok ?" Roberto asks me . I nod and stand and I begin to pace the floor while Roberto reads my file .

When he is done he sets the file down next to him and grabs my hand and helps me sit on his lap . " This doesn't change things for me . I still look at you the same way ." He says kissing my forehead . I scoff " I don't see how you don't my whole life has been a lie . It all makes sense now though if i really think about it . Jimmy has always hinted at it but I always laughed it off . Maybe this is why he gave me my file along with everyone else . I just don't understand if this is the truth why wait until I am grown to bring me into this life ? If he truly knew who I was why not find me sooner and raise me in this life ?" I ask Roberto .

He rubs my back in soothing circles . "I am not sure Lucy that's a question better left to ask the man you truly want the answers from . " Roberto says . A knock at the door burst our bubble " Roberto all the guys are in the office waiting . When should I tell them you will be down to inform them of the meeting ?" Roberto's head of security calls through his bedroom door . I stand off his lap . " I think that is our clue . I have a meeting with Victor later today if you would like to come with me . After this meeting I think you and I need to have our talk since we keep getting interrupted " I tell him . He stands up off the bed and wraps his arms around my waist " You staying tonight ?" He asks me .

" I don't know it depends on how everything goes in your office . " I say shrugging . He kisses me " I hope you stay . If anyone has anything to say they will have to deal with me . " Roberto says . Walking down the steps toward his office I am reminded of the last time I was in his office . I smile I look up at Roberto and see he is smiling as well ." Last time I was in your office you had that smile on your face ." I tell him . He stops and pulls me in close to him " You can crawl under or on that desk anytime and I guarantee you that I will be smiling when you leave my office ." Roberto says I push him in a playful manner ." Come on we have guys to speak to . " I tell him . As we enter his office everyone looks at me and then they bow their heads in respect to Roberto . I know right now they are confused as hell no one other that Roberto and his men usually attend these meetings . I have never been in here when they have done this before .

Roberto walks over to his desk and takes a seat I stand to his right hand . Roberto signals and everyone remains standing except for a few . " I had a meeting last night with all the bosses . I will explain what happened in just a few . First I know you all are wondering why Lucy is in here with us when she's never attended a meeting with us before . As most of you know Lucy was at the meeting yesterday and today . She showed up briefly yesterday and was there for a while today . A few weeks back Lucy told me a secret . I didn't believe her until yesterday . Thomas will you stand up for a moment ?" Roberto starts the meeting . Thomas stands .
