Florence, Italy

Inside one of the most beautiful office buildings in the world, a young man of about twenty-five who looked dashing in an expensive-looking elegant suit walked briskly down a long beautifully decorated corridor. If the frown on his unbelievably handsome face was anything to go by, he was very agitated. Whatever stress the man was feeling, however, didn't seem to affect his colour at all as his flawless skin remained creamy white and so smooth. His thick and wavy dark hair which had been given a trendy cut added to his sexiness. He was about five 'eleven and looked very fit. He was the kind of man that ladies would gush and drool over and call, hot. The young man pushed open a door and walked in, startling the pretty lady who was seated at her desk. She shot to her feet with wide eyes and croaked;

"He's in a meeting, Sir. He asked not to be distur..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, bite me." The young man growled as he went past the lady to a hidden door and swiped his right thumb over the sensor. The door opened. "Don't worry, I'll tell him you tried to stop me." He threw over his shoulder as he entered.

Inside the huge state-of-the-art office, there were three men. Two were seated in the visitors' chairs across the huge imposing desk whilst one, a strikingly handsome older man who appeared to wield a lot of power and who also looked a lot like the young man, sat behind the desk.

"Enzo..." The man behind the desk gave an audible exhale when he saw the young man. He didn't look surprised though.

"We need to talk, Father." Enzo Jilani rasped.

"Couldn't whatever you want to discuss have waited, son?"

"I've traveled all the way from the States just to talk to you about this, Father." Enzo stared his father down, completely ignoring the other men. "No, it can't wait."

"Aren't you forgetting something, son?" Leonardo Jilani asked curtly, an eyebrow raised.

"Sorry." Enzo muttered, turning his attention to the two men. "Buongiorno signore."

The men responded to Enzo's greeting respectfully but each refrained from the usual pleasantries because they could clearly tell that the heir to the Jilani throne was not in the mood.

"I suppose this is about what we've been talking about for the past month." Leonardo muttered, his eyes following his son who had begun to pace."

"I can't sleep, Father." Enzo breathed. "I can't eat. Hell, I can't even think. Ugh...I need to go there."

"Even though you don't know why you have the urge." Leonardo drawled. "Take a seat, Enzo." He waited until his son dropped into one of the plush couches before addressing one of the two men. "Franco, why don't you repeat what you just told me about the Stanwood Pack? I need my son to know how dangerous what he's asking for is."

"You checked them out..." Enzo breathed, staring at his father with eyes filled with awe and respect.

"Of course, I checked them out." Leonardo chuckled. "With the way you've been hounding me these past weeks, what did you expect? Now, listen to what Franco has to say."
