WARNING; VIOLENCE SCENE Soon after George left, Anna enters rolling in clothes stand along with a big box in her right hand. She gives me a puzzled look, "The capo came to see you." I nod, "Yes, why?" She shrugs, "Nothing. Have you had your bath?" I shake my head, "No l haven't." "Go freshen up and come." I point to the bathroom, "l can use his bathroom?" She nods, "Of course Kemi, the consigliere wouldn't want you to come outside you know." "Okay" I nod and climb down from the bed. I take off my night robe before walking into the bathroom. I filling the tub with water just the way I watched Mike do it this morning because I have never used a bathtub before I got here. I know you're in shock but don't blame me. I have lived with my parents all my life and I have never used it. It's not even operated the way a normal running water is, so many buttons to press. After I finish, I step out of the tub and put on a bath robe before walking out to the room and I see Anna already bringing the things inside the box and placing them on the table. "Which one do you like?" Anna asks me pointing to the clothes stand. I shrug, "Any one, I don't care." Anna shakes her head and walk over to the clothes stand taking out a white gown. Its a bodycon dress. "This dress will bring out your nice hips." Anna smiles at me. She gives the gown to me and I quickly put it on. She quickly did my makeup and in no time it's done. The makeup covers the little cut on my face as if it was never even there. "Where is the party?" "It's taking place at the hall." "The hall? In the mansion?" Anna nods, "Of course. Now Kemi, you will have to go back and meet the other girls. You are all going in together." I panic, "I'm going back there?" "Relax Kemi, no one is going to hurt you, lets go." We walk out of the room and Anna escorts me to a room "Go inside, the other girls are in here." I nod and open the door. Indeed, I meet all the other girls all sitting down dressed in different sexy gowns. It seems my gown is the only one which covers most of my skin and that makes me look different from them. You wouldn't know that I'm for the auction. I sit down resting my head on the edge of the sofa. I quickly recall that my mission is totally different from these girls'. How do I get the underboss' attention when couldn't even seduce those men today? What do I do? What do I do? The consigliere kept saying I should just do me. Doing me is definitely not a good idea. I could say something that would put my neck at stake. ~Third person POV~ Meanwhile, Lexis walks through the dark passage of the cassano family mansion escorted by his personal bodyguards, Robert and Henry. He had come to ltaly to meet with Pablo Cassano, a mafia boss of the Cassano family. Mr. Pablo Cassano sits smoking a tobacco surrounded by his men. His consigliere sits beside him as well. One of his men comes in and informs him of Lexis' arrival. He smirks and turns to the entrance to see Lexis walking in. "Ciao Lexis." He smiles looking at him. "Wow, you are all grown up now. Oh wow wow!"' He clasps his hands together before pointing to the seat in front of him. "Do take a sit Lexis, I don't want you going back with a cramped leg." He laughs. Lexis grins and takes his seat. "Do you want sweets Lexis?" He teases. Lexis smiles lightly, "No Pablo but thanks for the gesture." Pablo laughs hard turning to the man by his side. "Lexis says he doesn't want sweets, wow." "I will not take much of your time Pablo." Lexis says as he entwines his fingers together. "Just recently, I had a chance to go though the business statements..." Pablo smiles, "You must be very glad for the huge profit then." Lexis smiles, "That's correct. The casino is making huge profits daily." Pablo scoffs, "Including the one your brother is handling? I don't think so." He laughs loudly. Lexis smile fades, "My family's casino is making huge profits, so huge that it seems to have aroused some people's greed to cheat, is that correct?" He refers to the consigliere beside Pablo as he looks at him. Lexis stretches out his hand and Robert gives him a gun. At the same time, Pablo's men bring out their guns and points it at them. "It's fine. It's fine." Pablo says to his men. The men all lower their guns. Pablo sighs, "Oh come-on Lexis, I have done business with your father for so so long and he has never been this disrespectful and disloyal to me!" He yells. "And you dare to come and challenge me?" Lexis scoffs, "You know me Pablo. I'm not like my father I will not accept any means of corruption when it comes to my business. I hate betrayals." At the last words, he picks up his gun and shoots the consigliere beside Pablo. Pablo's men point their guns at him and Lexis's men did the same. Lexis drops the gun with a wicked smile on his face. Pablo, who is also holding a gun undermeath the table, removes his hand smiles at Lexis. "I'm in charge now. And I will not take any form of corruption. So you should teach your people never to mess with my business Pablo He stands up, "All betrayals, regardless of their ranks, will not live as long as I am alive." Pablo stares at him and smiles, "We will do great business together Lexis, great business." He laughs loudly. Lexis grins and starts walking alongside his bodyguards. He enters the car along with the guards. "To the airport." He says to Henry who is driving. "Yes underboss." Henry nods. Behind their car are three cars following them. "We're being followed underboss" Lexis looks at the window, "I thought as much." "Switch lanes, we need to follow through the tunnel." Robert tells him. Henry nods and did as he says. Robert takes out his phone and dials on it while Henry stops the car at a corner. Roberts comes out with Lexis. "Call capo Erica for backup, Henry." Robert says to him before he drives off. Lexis expected this. He knew before coming that Pablo will not let him live alive. He had come to his country and killed his right hand man in his own house. He would be kidding himself if he thinks Pablo will let him go like that. "Let's go this way underboss." Robert points to the long dark straight road. "And where does this road lead to?" Lexis looks at the non ending dark road that no single person is walking through. "It has a shortcut and will lead back to the normal street. We can go to the airport from there cutting Pablo's men off." Lexis nods and they both starts running through the road. Robert keeps leading Lexis through the road until they start hearing voices. "I think they found us underboss." Lexis sighs and takes out a cigarette from his pocket before he turns to Robert. "You have a lighter?" Robert stares at his boss in bewilderment. They're about to be killed and he's asking for a lighter? His boss never fails to amaze him. Robert searches through his pockets and brings out a lighter. He hands it over to him. Lexis lights the cigarette and inhales it deeply before curling out smoke from his mouth. Robert turns and sees some of Pablo's men running towards them. "Underboss." He urges Lexis. "We have to move." Lexis didn't move an inch. He keeps smoking the cigarette until it's remaining the butt which he throws on the ground and steps on it. He turns around and sees the men coming towards them. The men start shooting towards them but he dodges before bringing out two pistols form his pocket. He smirks before pulling the trigger. He starts walking rowards the men dodging the bullets that they keep shooting at him. Robert walks beside him holding a pistol as well. Although it is not too bright, Lexis is still able the dodge the bullets as they keep coming. He shoots at the first man killing him on the spot. He shoots at the second but missed the third. Before he could reload the gun, the third shoots at him arm. Robert eyes widen and he quickly shoots the last guy. "Underboss, are you okay?" He asks with a worried voice. Lexis nods, "l'm good. Let's go now; we don't need to take this way anymore." Robert follows beside him. Their backup pulls up before them and they enter. In no time, Pablo's is already chasing them from behind. Lexis sighs, "They're more persistent than l thought." "We will handle this boss." Robert assures him. "Go through the tunnel." He says to driver who nods and quickly did as he has been told. The driver switch lanes cutting off Pablo's men and heads for the tunnel. Xoxo
