I glance around in the room and already feel fed up with the situation I'm in, I take in a deep breath and decide to force myself out of the bed with no one around.

Gripping onto my stomach was an easy task, remaining to keep the pain away was another story, the pain would shoot up through my nerves causing so much distress.

I carry myself over to the window and perch myself down onto the black leather chair which is directly facing the window. I sigh as I sit myself down and become mesmerised by the large sounds that the rain is making against the see-through glass.

"Hey how are you?" A soft voice echos through the room and I turn to look at the door.

Sofia's eyes gaze at mine and are already full of pity, I sigh and continue to clench onto my stomach.

"Shouldn't you be resting in the bed?" She raises her brow at me and everything is still so confusing.

"I should, but I think there are more things on my mind at the moment." I take in a deep breath and the drops of rain suddenly gather the whole of my attention. Every drop looks as if they're running a race to see who can hit the bottom of the window first.

"I understand." She sighs and takes a seat on the bed-still close to me in proximity.

"Would you prefer it if I leave?" She questions behind me as I see her reflection in the window, I shake my head and continue to stare out before replying.

"I enjoy the company."

A smile forms on my face and tugs at the corners of my lips, I look at Sofia's reflection again and she is smiling back at me.

But I feel my eyes rolling, my head is becoming dizzy and I feel numb.

"Sofia." I whisper before I begin to topple over. Sofia rushes over to help stable my head but screams out after her husband.

My vision is blury but I can still feel the muscular arms picking me up and putting me back into the hospital like bed.

"What did I say Luna?" Bruno sighs and speaks to someone, I'm unsure who but my eyes suddenly close and everything becomes dark.

I look at my brother with a face full of confusion.

"Maybe she should've stayed in bed, hm?" I cock up my brow and my brother rolls his eyes at me.

"Avanti Dante." [Come on].

I sigh and walk closer towards my brother, who seems worried about Luna and behind him I see his little wife hovering near by to eavesdrop no doubt.

"Sofia, you have something to say?" I cock up my brow and she suddenly comes out from the darkness.

"She's struggling Dante, you need to give her the benefit of the doubt and let her go once she gets better, she says there are more things on her mind... Do we really know what's on her mind?" She looks at me with her innocent orbs.

"We'll take a background check first." I say sternly. Her hazel eyes roll at me and soon turn to a colouration of dissapointment.

"And then what?" Sofia asks.

"Sofia, calm down. She was snooping around as it was. She doesn't have a place here or at our business." I walk closer to Sofia but soon find Bruno and his broad body get into my way to 'protect' his wife.

"Tell your wife." I say through my teeth and walk out of the room to leave them be to speak amongst themselves.

I'm now in the entertainment room, looking at Ray who has a grin portrayed across his face. I smile and bring him close for a brotherly hug.

"It was nice seeing you again Dante." I repeat the same and he chuckles before adding, "I hope you sort things out with this woman, you definitely don't need a distraction." He smiles and I smile with him, he's completely right. The less distractions in our mafia, the better. We can crack on with our jobs and not have to protect anyone. It's difficult as it is to look after Sofia and Violetta.

I hold the front door wide open and watch as Ray walks out with Scott.

"We'll see you again soon, very, very soon." He grins at me and I nod in agreement, I like having Ray around. Extra company I have.

I wave goodbye and watch as Ray and Scott gets into the black SUV and ride off. I take in a deep breath and enter back through the mansion.

I see a pair of chocolaty eyes stare at me as soon as my presence arrives back into the home.

"You ready for this boss?" Justin breaks the silence and I nod. I couldn't think of anything else to do at the moment, other than to understand who this woman is in my home.

We charge to my office and find the laptop sitting where I placed it this morning, it sits untouched buried with secrets just waiting to be revealed.

I open the laptop and already begin to type in Luna's name, I took in a deep breath in preparation.

I enter the name and wait for the answers to pop up on my screen, but it's not loading. We're twiddling with our thumbs in preparation for what is about to be revealed.

"Maybe we should check more on the CCTV first? While this is loading." I nod at Justin's intelligance and do as he says.

I minimise the background check and connect the laptop to the building's CCTV system.

Within a few seconds I'm in, gazing at every single camera there is. Until something caught my eye.

"She was spying when I was talking to Cameron!? That bitch!" His voice echos through my eardrums with anger and frustration, he always knew something wasn't right with this woman, and now we can see why.

I take a deeper look at the not so victim we have here and analyse every movement she is making.

"She tried to go into your office?" I look at Justin and he cocks up his brow and chuckles at the reality. The woman tried to enter my office also. This has just made my gears turn and my blood boil, I knew we should have never employed her. How could Bruno be so stupid?

A sudden flash appears beside me and I lift up the laptop lid further to analyse what we have searched. But nothing, nothing on the woman 'Luna Driver' unless she is lying about that too. Which wouldn't surprise me.

I tried to type in the name again but it was no use, there was no one in Italy who went by that name. I ran my fingers through my hair and planted my head onto my hands. We've had enough shit over the years, now we have a spy. We just don't know who she works for. What gang she may have come from. Wherever she's from, she's a threat. And a threat needs to be gone.

I close the lid shut and turn to stare at Justin, his face is clueless but I need him to remain here.

"Stay out of the way, I need to find her." He nods and I walk away and open up my office door.

I hold onto the banister almost ripping it off with frustration as I travel down the stairs as quick as I could.

Walking into the room where she had been staying didn't feel forgien anymore, but she wasn't there. I balled up my fist and was already loosing my shit. I turn to my left and then to my right but there was nothing here other than fresh sheets.

I exit out of the room and smell the hot chocolate scent swirl up my nostrils and there was only one place where that could be. Jogging to the kitchen felt like the biggest mission yet, in attempt not to bump into my brother or anyone else for that matter.

"Dove sei?" [Where are you] I mutter to myself, not letting anyone else hear. My voice was almost a whisper even though I wanted to groan and shout as loud as I could.

Finally, I walk into the living room and watch as she delicately sits in Sofia's spare dressing gown staring out of the window with her hot chocolate in hand. I roll my eyes and the frustration is already toppling over, I couldn't control any of the words that spill out.

"Who are you?" I startle her and watch as she places her mug on the table next to her. Her silence however, isn't an answer I want or that I'm looking for.

"I will ask you again." I walk closer and closer to her until I'm towering powerfully over her, "Who are you?" I raise my brow and for some reason I feel calm, I'm ready to loose it but I'm trying to take it easy. Especially as I wouldn't want to wake Sofia or Violetta.

"Do we have to do this the hard way?" I roll my eyes and grab her by the arm, she squirms at my touch and attempts to defend herself, but she is no match for me.
