They should never have met.
Each one of them lived in different parts of the world. She lived in the light, an ordinary existence while he kept to the shadows, the underworld.
But one fate encounter brought them together and no matter how hard the...

Knocking on the door I entered Lorenzo's office. "Got something for you."
Lorenzo motioned me to sit down, his desk covered with paper for the legitimate business in our city office. Any mafia business is conducted at the Sorrentino estate.
"What's that?" Lorenzo asked.
I took a seat unbuttoning my jacket. "The owners of the Mintings Hotels over the seaside found themselves in an escort scandal. What you think about getting into real estate?"
He tilted his head. "You want to buy their hotels?"
Shaking my head, I leaned back. "Yes and no. Hotels are not as desired as much as they used to be. Instead I suggest we buy the estate and rent out the place on renter websites such as Airbnb. Or we could buy demolish the hotels to rebuilt into smaller developments."
"You have time to overlook that with international trade and this thing with Carnellio?" Lorenzo considered.
I shook my head thinking of Carnellio. The man we use for shipping cargo and who could have leaked information leading to the ambush the other night. "Not at the moment. But Romano seems like he is going to kill us if we don't have him work something other than the clubs."
Lorenzo laughed. "And he will hate us for giving him real estate."
Shrugging I nodded. "It could get us new revenue coming in, also depending on who we get into our estates...."
"Blackmail." Lorenzo finished. "Doubt he would over look getting to threaten people."
I hummed in agreement. "Information at its finest."
Lorenzo used his office phone calling Romano to his office.
Romano came into the room a short moment later, our offices on the same floor allowing us to keep contact. Things can change in a matter of moments in our world, can't lose time getting from office to office.
"I hate drunk kids." He grumbled taking a seat next to me. "Swear if one more drunk asshole starts a brawl over something stupid I will break their legs and leave them in the gutter."
Chuckling I rolled my eyes at the younger brother. "You hate everything and want to break everyone's legs."
He hummed leaning back waiting for Lorenzo to tell him why he is here which the older brother didn't wait a beat to discuss. "How much time you got on your hands?"
Romano lifted a brow. "I'm not looking after another fucking club."
"Always so dramatic." I teased making Romano glare at me, his mafia switch always on. "You hear about the escort hotel scandal?"
He growled. "Can I break their legs?"
Lorenzo smirked and tried to hide his amusement from Romano's expected response. "Not yet, first we have business with Carnellio to deal with, after that you can do what you want with the Mintings."
