The moment I stepped inside , the feeling of relief washed over me , no matter how many times I have the encounters with the journalists , I am always tensed around them. It sucks to be a famous businesswoman.

Just kidding. Not.

But then there are some people who genuinely like me and they are the reason that it's bearable to do what I am doing to show the outside world.

I started walking straight for my dad's office on the top floor. Some greetings were said to me along the way , to which I replied them back.

I knocked on the door , asking for permission. Which the voice behind the door responded with a come in.

"Aristella querida, finally you have come. There is something I need you to do for me"

Something is fishy he never calls me darling. I will be shocked if he ever had a decent chat with me which is not related to work or something he wants.

"What is it now, Dad"


Honestly he doesn't even deserve to be called dad, not like he ever played his part of being one.


"Have a seat first" he said , already knowing I am not up for the sweet chit chat.

I did as I was asked.


"I want you to go to Italy, something is very suspicious going on there-"

"No" I retorted calmly

"What do you mean by no"


"I mean no, that's it, you know what happened last time when I went there" I said calmly contrasting to his emotions.


"What happened last time was your mistake, you can't blame me for that , you need to solve your issues yourself" As always he started blaming me that's what he is good at. I am not in the mood to fight today.


"Why exactly do I have to go there , if the reason is good I will go there" I stated.


I cannot have a repeat of last time so keeping that in mind I continued, "And if I end up going there , Liam will go with me too"

I smiled in relief.

"Our men aren't responding back from there, and when I sent some other people to check what was happening they ended up not responding too." I nodded my head asking him to continue


"When I tried to gather some more information I got to know that the De Leons have teamed up with Demonio" He completed his rant.


Demonio. The devil.


I don't understand why people are even scared of that person. No one has seen him the only thing we know about him is that he is a male. Big information.

The information can be wrong though , I mean you never know who is behind the mask.

"But Demonio doesn't work for anyone but himself, people don't even know his real name and he has no history with us so I don't get it?" I said more to myself than to my precious father. But he heard my self talk.


"That is the reason I want you to go there, I don't care who you want go there with , just try to keep a low profile and don't kill anyone like last time". He said that and left the office.


Ouch that hurted. Fuck being in Mafia.


He gets too much mad for his age , who will tell him , that he will end up being bald if he didn't manged his anger.


I laughed at my own joke.

​​ The departing words of my father still playing in my head.

"don't kill anyone like last time"

We will see what what I can do about that father.

It's time for some work Stella.

I smirked internally.
