"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius...

"I don't want to be the bad guy here," Reyna said.
Santoro leaned back in his seat while Rubino watched her intensely. Alessandro Rubino was a smart guy, I was sure he wanted Reyna more of an ally than an enemy. It's what every guy around the table should've been thinking. If the roles were switched, I knew it would be the first thought to appear in my mind.
"My intention with obtaining information about all of you has nothing to do with attacking you, turning you in or anything of the sort. I was looking for someone, and since none of you have that person, you're not my enemy," she explained.
They all listened to her while I just watched her. It was what I wanted from the very beginning. She had potential to change everything, and she was finally reaching it. From a shy computer nerd to a powerful queen. She held her head up higher, and she demanded the ears of every dangerous man in the world. It was all I wanted from her. By pushing her down, she was able to stand on her own two feet and demand respect.
"Now, just because I don't want to be your enemy, it doesn't mean I can't be. If you continue hunting me down, I will stop at nothing to make sure you and everything you love is destroyed," she threatened.
No one said a word.
"My only request is that you leave me be. Who knows? If I like you enough, I may just help you when you need me." She shrugged.
"What do you say Alessandro Rubino, Tommaso Santoro, and Antonio Morelli? Do you accept this... deal?" she asked, raising a brow.
Alessandro was the first to extend his hand out to Reyna. His face remained cold, but I knew what was going through his mind. He would need her, and if he had to get on her good side, he would. He was clever. I knew I liked him for a reason. He reminded me of a calmer and quieter version of myself.
She took his hand in his and allowed him to give her a firm shake.
"I accept this deal. I look forward to one day possibly working with you," he said almost robotically, releasing her hand.
Next was Tommaso as he stood up from his seat, straightened his jacket and extended his hand. Like Alessandro, he took her hand in his and gave her a firm shake.
"It's a deal. Also, If you ever get tired of Saint..." he began, smirking as he glanced at me. I watched him bring her hand up to his lips and place a kiss on her knuckles. It took everything for me not to punch the shit of him. "...I'm always here. I like my women like you-beautiful and smart."
"And puttana's apparently," Reyna remarked, bringing up his previous comment.
"If I forgive you for threatening my mother, I hope you can forgive me for calling you a whore." He smiled, showing off his white teeth.
