Staring out of the window on a Monday morning was not what I expected, nor the environment that I'm in. My mind still roams around with questions filled to the brim, ready to explode any when.

A knock emerges on my door, startling me in the process and removing me from my thoughts.

"Come in." I mutter, hoping my words reached the other side of the door. My office was open with windows, but hardly where the door was. Making it difficult to see who could be waiting behind that barrier for me.

The door opened wide revealing Bruno standing there smartly. He's wearing a black suit, under that a black buttoned shirt. I release a smile as soon as his eyes lay on mine.

"Let's take a walk." He demands softly, I nod and stand up out of my seat grabbing my phone so no one can see it while I'm gone.

I close up the office door and watch as Bruno already begins to walk away.

I catch up to him and walk by his side, taking each step just like him so I fit in with the other office members here.

"So, I know I've settled you in slightly here but we're soon to have a meal." He turns and smiles at me, the curve on his face tugs at the corners of his mouth revealing the beauty.

"Meal?" I question curiously.

"Yes, I know you haven't been here that long, but we have a get together now and again to speak... Business." A smile is still patched onto his face and he turns to see if anyone else is around, when no one is in sight he finishes his sentence.

"You could come, if you wanted." Worry isntandly bombards my body with questions, why me? Why now? He looks at me with wide eyes and takes in a deep breath.

"I know you've got some issues with some members of staff, but don't let them get to you, especially my brother." He chuckles and I join in too. I've never really understood why his brother dislikes me so much. Maybe he's just scared.

"So, where is this meal?" I raise my brow to try and show an interest to this event, but this wasn't what I expected to be told at ten o'clock in the morning, my mind is barely awake.

"Only the best restaurant in Italy." He smiles proudly and I nod in agreement.

"If you're happy to make your own way there I can give you the address?" I nod and Bruno already pulls out a pad of paper and a pen from his pocket. He takes the ball-point pens lid off with his teeth and scribbles down the address of the restaurant.

He passes it to me and finishes our conversation with a smile.

"Thank you." I admit.

"It's tonight, six o'clock." I nod and watch as Bruno walks past me beginning to walk away, but his thoughts must've pulled him back into reality.

"Oh, and there is a pile of files that I'd like you to take a look at in my office, on the left-hand side of my desk, you can go in there and help yourself. It's labeled 'For Luna'." He chuckles and I nod, listening to his instructions.

I turn and then see Draco standing there with a large smile upon his face, tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Hey, did you want to grab a coffee?" He raises his brow as he questions me and I instantly feel worried.

"Maybe another time, I have tons of paperwork to get through." I chuckle and watch as the defeat takes over his body. The smile has disappeared and is now blurred.

"No worries, see you around." He says kindly, his voice is soft and not at all full of demand or hatred. I watch as he passes down the hall and enters another office.

I now take this as my chance to shine, I stroll to Bruno's office and notice no one insight, I open the office door and close it straight away behind me, unfortunately the panels beside the door are see-through windows.

I look at the files which are placed in the exact same place he said they'd be, I almost feel like I'm being disloyal to Bruno. I don't mind Bruno... I look and the pile and notice a post-it note with my name on it too. I take in a deep breath and hide behind the desk and begin opening up multiple draws that are behind his desk.

I check the large ones and there isn't anything there, I feel awful to do this but my life is on the line, my future... I continue opening up more and more draws to find something, anything that can prove that they're gang members.

Rummaging around other draws was proven to be difficult, there were stacks of files. The sudden jolt of the office door made me jump and hide more under the desk. I take in a deep breath and try my best to control the shakes erupting all over my body.

I cover my mouth so that my breathing is slower, but the panic in my mind is worsening. Nothing is getting better in this situation. I sigh and keep myself hidden.

"I know you're in here, you little bitch." The rest of whatever he says is muffled with the Italian language I don't understand.

"Luna!" My name is exclaimed loudly and I panic further.

"Don't make me turn this desk upside down!" I think of a plan and bolt up from behind the desk, I witness the aggression written all over Justin's face.

"Oh hey!" I exclaim, "Sorry I dropped my pen as Bruno said I should collect these files." I lie, holding a pen in my hand that I had only just found on the floor by luck.

His eyes peirce through mine with anger and fury.

"Then why didn't you answer me and get up?" He questions, coming closer and closer to me trying to indimidate me.

I thankfully release the airpod from my ear and hold it up. "Pop music." I announce, another lie. This is why I'm an officer, you can cover your tracks and use things to your advantage.

"Just take the files and get out." He demands, I nod and take the files into my hands and walk past Justin who doesn't even hold the door open for me.

"See you later!" I exclaim and walk past back to my office and shut the door tightly releasing the breath I didn't even realise I was holding in.

The panic was still rummaging around in my body, my hands were still shaking as I lifted up the file and began to read it.

It was the evening, how it arrived so quickly I'll never know. I'm currently staring at my reflection in my tall mirror, taking in a deep breath and examining my outfit choice. A red body-con dress, it was tight in all of the right places.

I called Alessia and my mother only a few moments ago to tell her goodnight and I hope she enjoys the rest of their evening, especially as I probably won't be homes until late with this meal. I glance around my walk-in wardrobe, the purple walls are Alessia's favourite, she says the colour is 'Outstanding' I chuckle at the thought of her and end up nearly falling over the black leather sofa in the middle of the room, but thankfully I saved myself.

I clean up a few bits and walk out of the front door, locking it up tight to then be faced with the fresh air.

I unlock the car door and sit myself down on the drivers seat perfectly, the smell of coconuts already rise up my nostrils.

Multiple turns are passed and roundabouts are raced on, I make my way to the address that Bruno had given me and I was smiling when I saw the restaurant in sight. I took in a deep breath and parked up the car.

I lock up the car and watch as multiple people are already entering the delightful place, I'm paranoid and anxious to head inside, I hope I won't be the only female there. But then I notice a stunning woman. Her hair was short and brown, and her dress was beautiful and purple. She laughs and glances around until her hazel eyes lay onto me with curiosity.

"Hey Luna." Bruno's voice sneaks up from behind me and almost makes me jump.

"Hey." I state watching as everyone at the table is drowning out their livers with alcohol.

The beautiful short haired woman comes closer and closer and glances her eyes at me one more time but then looks at Bruno with a smile upon her face. "This is my wife, Sofia." Bruno states as her hand wraps around his arm.

"Its nice to meet you Sofia, I'm Luna." I smile and shake Sofia's hand.

"I thought it would be best if you weren't the only female tonight." She chuckles and I join in too.

I take a seat at the large table and see multiple people gathered around. Including Sofia and Bruno. I watch as Justin is still speaking to the person he spoke to last time I snuck up on him and a few other men speak amongst themselves apart from Draco.

"Hey, I haven't seen you in awhile." He states and I throw him a smile.

"It has been awhile hasn't it? " I chuckle and watch as he stares at me with his pale orbs. I get stuck into them and watch as the colour almost deepens the longer he stares at me.

"So, how have you been?" He asks before sliding the rim of the glass in between his lips, I nod and answer his question and ask him the same question.

"Yeah I've been good." He smiles at me and watches me intensely as I take a sip of my white wine.

I gaze around the table and notice the one person who hasn't attended. Mr Dante Russo. He doesn't seem very business oriented that's for sure, always making his brother do it all. I roll my eyes at my thought and we all continue to talk and gossip to one another.

I take in a deep breath and watch as the air begins to thin and become too much, I stand up out of my seat and tell Sofia I'm just popping outside. She nods and agrees that going outside is the best idea.

I walk closer to the door and already feel the fresh air run through my lungs, giving me exactly what I was yearning for.

I travel inbetween the narrow alleyways and plant myself on the small bench parked up next to the restaurant.

"Well, well, well." A voice emerges from the dark and I'm unaware at where it is coming from precisely.

"Hello?" I question and see the smoke being released from their lips as they draw nearer and nearer.
