Atalia analyzes Amoret before her hazel eyes concentrate on me. She isn't happy at all her expression completely shows it. Atalia truly sees me as hers when I've made it clear every single time that it's all for good times nothing serious.

"I didn't know you had anyone over?," Atalia breaks the awkward silence between us three. Amoret glances between Atalia and I very observingly as she crosses her arms against her chest.

"You wouldn't know since you never call," I blankly respond wanting this over with. Atalia creases her brows in anger as she ignores my glare stepping inside my place uninvitedly.

"And you are?," she flatly asks Amoret who seems a bit amused by her behavior.

"Amoret," she smiles extending her hand out to shake Atalia's hand, but the gesture was never received. Instead Atalia, scans her from feet to head before dismissing her and walking towards me. I was about to kick Atalia out when suddenly Amoret adds more into the steamy pot that's boiling in this room.

"If I were you I'd watch how you treat me," Amoret sternly utters. Atalia comes to a sudden halt as she slowly turns around clenching her fists.

"Excuse me?," Atalia mutters unhappily as she turns away from me to look at Amoret. I scrunch my brows in confusion not understanding the sudden behavior of Amoret.

"тупая пизда," Amoret mutters as she stares at Atalia like a hawk. I stay silent studying Amoret I see how disciplined she is. This female shows dominance by the way she's staring Atalia down. I know how females look when they're just mean girls like Atalia, but Amoret is different. She isn't a mean girl. She's something else. Almost like a mafia member.

"English bitch," Atalia firmly replies.

"Enough. I don't have time for this," I decide to intervene not wanting a girl fight to happen at my place. It's already late and I have to wake up early in the morning.

"Then kick her out," Atalia bluntly says as she gives death glares towards Amoret.

"I'm afraid he can't do that," Amoret smirks teasingly towards Atalia definitely getting what she wanted. A rise out of her.

"What the fuck do you mean by that?," Atalia asks curiously.

Just as Amoret was about to respond. I grab Atalia's arm pulling her towards the door. At the same time I hint Amoret to keep her mouth shut. Atalia murmurs a few complaints of her protests as I forcefully accompany her out of my place. Shutting the door at a pissed off Atalia. I turn around to face Amoret whom seems very amused by the scene that took place in front of her.

"You better watch your mouth," I warn unhappily as I take a few steps forward towards her.

"What are you so afraid of?," Amoret murmurs.

"I'm afraid of nothing," I sternly respond.

"Is she an ex? Seems like you didn't want her to know about you know?," Amoret blankly says as she takes a seat on the couch just observing me.

"None of your business," I bluntly respond as I make my way out of the living room. Amoret is already making it her mission to spread the news just like my father prepared me for. It's official this girl has her agenda and I'm going to start playing mine.

Amoret's pov

I hear Mr. underboss slam the door shut, which is the sign for me to make my first call to report back to Kira. After a few rings, she finally answers my call.

"It's about time I hear from you Amoret," Kira says worriedly.

"I've been busy all day with the move. Plus living with the underboss wasn't exactly the plan you know?," I huff every now and then glancing behind the couch to make sure I'm alone in the living room.

"I know, your father seems quite desperate to pull such a stunt like this."

"What he does no longer surprises me. I'm just a марионетка in his games. Always have been," I annoyedly murmur wanting all for this to be over with.

"Don't let this get to you. Remember this is your only way out for good," Kira reminds.

She's right. My days are counted on this earth. This is what I've been wanting for so long and now it's my chance to finally regain what I've desperately been wanting since a child. I will not fail. Failure isn't an option for someone like.

"You're right, I need information on some женщина named Atalia. I think she might be an ex of the underboss or perhaps a fuck buddy," I inform Kira.

"This sounds juicy already. Definitely on it I'll get a hold of you once I get information," she says before hanging up. I put the phone down inhaling then exhaling a deep breathe of tiredness along with frustration. I need to be careful as I prosecute all of this. The Castillos aren't ones to mess with. They're known for their ruthlessness. So this mission isn't something I've done before.

Leo Jr's pov

"Got you," I murmur as I hear every single word that Amoret says on the phone. I watch on the screen how she keeps glancing behind the couch for any sign of me, but little does this idiot know I'm hearing and watching her every move.

My father and I installed cameras all over my place before her arrival. You see one thing my father taught me while growing up is that I cannot trust anyone in the competition let alone a nemesis. There is always someone trying to take you down unfortunately in this lifestyle, so precautions is our best friend. Precautions keep you alive.

"Your life is about to turn upside down Amoret Romanov. Just you wait and see," I murmur as I watch her lay on the couch after taking a swig of the vodka bottle. Before I turn the screens off calling it a night. I have one last thought on my mind that causes a smirk on my lips. The start of it all.

"It's time for me to play марионетка."
