Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.

Slender fingers rest on my black dress pants, stroking my thigh gently. The music blasts through the surround system, colorful lights flashing on the club dance floor. I push the unwanted claws from my lap, rolling my eyes as I down the remaining whiskey from my glass. I slam my glass on the counter, beckoning my right-hand man over to me.
"Have you seen your new conquest yet, Valencio?" Matteo chuckles.
"Shut the fuck up, I'm not interested in that shit anymore!" I grunt annoyed.
"So, you're ready to leave?" He cocks his eyebrows.
"Yes, I've filled my void with alcohol, let's go." I walk out of the door, my hands tucked in my pockets.
"I'm surprised, The Valencio Fuentes-" I raise my hand to silence him.
"If you finish, I'll cut off your tongue," I growl,
"Don't hurt me, daddy~," He fake pleads.
"Matteo, get us home, you asswipe." I get into the backseat of the parked black range rover.
"Right away, sir," Matteo nods.
A vibration in my back pocket alerts me of an incoming call. My father's name flashes across the screen, and I yell at Matteo to lower the music. I swipe the answer button, hastily greeting hello.
"Valencio," the man on the line says.
"Father," I say lowly.
"Dove sei? Ferma qualsiasi cosa tu stia facendo, hai una missione da completare." His stern voice commands-- [Where are you? Stop whatever you're doing, you have a mission to complete.]
"Of course, Padre. Che c'è?" I ask what is it, failing to hide my disinterest.
"Il tuo compito è eliminare Eloise Angel. È stata avvistata da sola a Leonardo Vineyard, l'ultimo posto in cui si trovava con sua figlia. Dovrebbe essere vulnerabile e indifesa." He explains--[your assignment is to eliminate Eloise Angel. She was spotted unaccompanied at Leonardo Vineyard, reported to be the last place she was with her daughter. She should be vulnerable and defenseless.]
