The two days after the cake tasting where pretty quiet overall, Leo had gone away for work so it was just us girls in the house aside from all the staff. Chef Piero had made a normal size cake for us to try the next day with flowers for decoration and Violet had been over the moon and couldn't wait to see the actual cake on the day, Regina had commented on about making the cake bigger but Violet had got her way.

The RSVP's were flying in now and I had Violet and Regina working on the table settings and I was sending updates every time we got RSVP's to the base as we ticked off more people we could arrest.

Late last night I got a text from Enzo informing me of the tailor coming tomorrow as Leo would be arriving home in the early hours so he would make it, Enzo wasn't sure how long Leo was sticking around for so decided it was best to get it done before he left for work again.

The base had no clue where Leo was on his two-day trip but rumours were flying around in the cartel world that something big was going on the Russo brothers another drug family had recently lost one of their own and they were out for blood, the base assumed Leo's people had something to do with it and now he was trying to clean up the mess his people left behind.

I head downstairs the tailor was meant to be arriving any moment now and there were some cars parked outside already meaning the other groom men must have been here. I had told Roberto to set everything up in the main lounge for the guys and as I get closer I see Enzo standing in the doorway a younger looking guy standing next to him as they talk.

"Just keep as far away as possible ask Violet if you can spend some time here, just don't get dragged into it." I hear Enzo say to the other guy, I debate staying where I am and allowing myself to listen in to the rest of the conversation but it was too risky.

"Hey there, I'm Maddie the wedding planner what one of the groomsmen are you?" I knew there was five in total Enzo being the best man and the others were meant to be family members of Leo's and Violets.

"I'm Lucas." Lucas holds his hand out shaking my hand.

"He's Violet's cousin her fathers younger sisters son, their pretty close." Enzo puts his hand on Lucas's shoulder squeezing it.

"Nice to meet you, are you ready for your suit fitting?" I move past them into the room to find the other three guys around the bar cart Roberto had set up.

"Oh, who are you pretty thing?" The one who was facing my direction says causing the other two to turn.

"I'm Maddie the wedding planner." I don't put my hand out for them to shake this time the way they were looking at me screamed bad vibes at me.

"This is Mario, Marco and Giovanni their all mine and Leo's cousins. Mario and Marco are brothers as well actually." The two of them did look oddly the same if it wasn't for the fact you could tell there was an age gap between them you would think they were twins.

I, of course, was wearing my glasses so was making sure to get a good look of their faces even if it made me look friendly.

"When's Leo getting here?" I ask Enzo turning to face him.

"I sent him a text a couple of minutes ago he's here somewhere I just assume upstairs." A coughing noise is heard behind me and I turn around to find Roberto with two men, an older man who was well dressed in a blue suit and a younger guy who seemed to be lugging in two suitcases, although smartly dressed not as well dressed as the older man.
