Amoret's pov

As underboss and I make our way to meet Roman. I can't stop fidgeting my fingers from the anxiety I'm currently feeling. I have no idea how Roman agreed to this lunch date with the underboss due to him hating the Castillos. However, I'm sure my father has a lot to do with this. After all I am under a watch literally.

"Why so nervous Amoret?," underboss taunts knowing this is something I'm not so thrilled about since he announced this event to me. I'm skilled at hiding certain emotions, but when it comes to my mafia it's something I can't help, but express even if I don't want to. Maybe the amount of bullshit I've ever known is getting too much for me to handle.

"Ain't no one nervous," I blankly respond rolling my eyes at him. Underboss is starting to get on my nerves. I'm starting to think he likes messing with me.

"I get it Amoret. It must be awkward to be having lunch with your fiancé and boyfriend. You're getting the best of both worlds," underboss smirks waiting for my reaction.

"He isn't my boyfriend. I already told you," I roll my eyes annoyedly. Underboss doesn't say a word only smirking as he focuses on the road. God only knows what runs through his mind. Most likely a plan against me that's for sure.

Leo Jr's pov

We finally arrive to a small cafe where Graudyn is patiently waiting for us to approach him. This is going to be a very interesting brunch. It's time to get to know these Russians a bit. I turn around to face Amoret who's currently a nervous wreck.

I watch her as she keeps her eyes down onto the ground looking as if she's afraid and hiding something at the same time as we stand not far from Graudyn

I watch her as she keeps her eyes down onto the ground looking as if she's afraid and hiding something at the same time as we stand not far from Graudyn. Her hands pulling back a strand of hair behind her ear her eyes remaining onto the ground.

"Castillo nice to properly meet," Graudyn says as he stands up catching my attention extending his hand out to shake mine. I offer the same gesture stepping aside for Amoret to greet her lover. I watch as Graudyn warily looks at Amoret. He notices how distant she's being towards him, which makes his eyes darken not looking so lively as it did a few seconds earlier.

"Hey Roman," she simply says forcing a small smile on her lips once again averting her eyes away from him. We all take a seat ordering some drinks and pastries.

"So Graudyn tell me about your relationship with Amoret?," I break the silence wanting to get these two uncomfortable as much as I can. Amoret immediately looks up glancing between Graudyn and I. She's definitely hiding the truth from me. These two are definitely a thing I can tell.

"Amoret is like a little sister to me. We grew up together both practically raised by Romanov. Before she became engaged to you I was in charge to look after her," Graudyn responds.

"Touching. So Graudyn do you have any children?," I decide to ask now focusing on his background.

"No nor am I married yet," he blankly responds.
