"One more Belle! Come on, Belle! Are you a Martinez or not?" Niko said while spotting her on the weight lifting bench.
They've been at it for what felt like hours to improve her upper body strength when Alec walked in and saved their baby sister from being crushed by the weights. He lifted it up effortlessly and smacked Isabelle's 'trainers' on the head. He passed Belle her towel and bottle before lecturing his younger brothers' work ethics.
"Come on A! Besides, I was so close. Yeah, I was sooooo close to seeing God! My old man," Isabelle joked after gulping down her entire bottle of Gatorade and wiping all the sweat off her forehead.
While Niko&Nathan were getting an earful, Belle left to get in the shower and prepare for dinner. She ran into their family butler, Mike, who told her to be ready by 8pm as they had a special guest joining them for dinner that night. She noticed it was only 4.30pm and that she still had enough time to help Jake with dinner.
Meanwhile...
-Jake's POV-
I had gotten intel from one of my boys that The Vipers were planning on infiltrating our base. It did not surprise me when he sent an email asking if we could meet up for a truce and start afresh since they were in town. So my brothers and I met in my office and discussed the plan. Of course, the number 1 priority is Belle.
I went down to the kitchen to start preparing dinner when I saw Belle already down there - wearing her apron and reading the recipe on the counter with her brows furrowed.
"Hey J! These guests must be really important since you're whipping out your famous Chicken Casserole. I haven't seen that in a while! Who are they? Do I know them?" her questions started pouring out of her mouth as soon as she felt my hands hug her from behind.
"No, don't worry about it love! Just a couple of my old friends. Now you should go and get ready, I left a beautiful red dress on your bed with the accessories," I told her while gently pushing her out of the kitchen and subtly removing her apron with my hands.
I gave her one last kiss on her forehead, washed my hands, and began making the best Chicken Casserole.

-3rd Person POV-
The Fantastic 5 of The Black Roses strutted down the hallway to the dining table where the plates and food were served with the best silver plates. Underneath her dress and their suits, each member had an item of protection. Niko had his knife, Nathan had his nunchucks, Jake with his rings, Alec with his knife and Isabelle with her pistol clad underneath her dress, and her switchblade tucked in her boot. However, Belle had no clue whatsoever that there was a plan. The twins interlocked their arms with Belle - one on each side and they welcomed their guests.
They were seated at the dining table. Jake at the head of the table, Cade Kingston - The Viper's Leader at the opposite end. Belle was seated on Jake's left, next to Niko. Alec sat to the right of Jake, next to Nathan. 4 of Viper's members occupied the remaining seats. The Fantastic 5 ate comfortably but The Vipers were glaring at each member with a death glare. It was not until Belle fisted Jake's blazer underneath the table that Jake looked up and acknowledged their stares.
"Hello Vipers, Cade. I take it that you are well. How is the casserole?" Jake said as he reached to hold Belle's hand on the table.
"Yes, hi Jake. Ah, the Fantastic 5 of Black Roses. Isa honey, look how much you've grown. By the way, the casserole is delicious. Tell me, Isabelle, how did you make it?" Cade said, his voice full of spite.
The dinner continued in awkward silence until Jake excused himself and Cade to have a private conversation in his office. Niko brought us and the Vipers to the living room to have a chat while drinking. Of course, Belle had sparkling apple juice while everybody else enjoyed a glass of red wine.
It was all well until...
*BANG*
4 of the Fantastic 5 got on red alert and immediately got out their weapons. The Vipers were startled but reached for their guns when they realized that they had to leave all their guns at the door. The only item allowed in were knives.
The Vipers may be a great gang but even then their men weren't excessively trained in hand-to-hand combat and especially knives.
One of the Vipers thought it would be a good idea to subtly attack Isabelle since all the boys were preoccupied with the other members and they assumed that Isabelle was just holding it to look scary. Boy oh boy when he reached to hold that knife to her throat, that's when he realized she was a badder bitch than he was and twice the warrior he dreamed he was. Belle rammed her heel onto his foot and proceeded to elbow his stomach before stabbing his thigh and throwing him off of her. She then tried to run to check on Jake when she noticed the annoying length of her dress. So she did what every other girl would do, she ripped the bottom half of her dress and ran up the stairs.
She ran up the stairs, barged into Jake's office and saw...
