The Perfect Sin

I can't even describe the overwhelming feelings that I'm experiencing right now. Slamming the office door shut behind me, I storm through the house until I reach the front entrance.

Two of Renzo's men stand guard by the door but quickly move when they see me heading straight for them. I open the door and pace down the steps, noticing Matteo and Domenico stood by a parked car.

The pair of them look up when they hear me, their face instantly filling with concern. "Lula," Matteo greets warily. "What's happened?"

I ignore his question and pass him by, towards the car where I attempt to open the door. "What are you doing?" Domenico asks.

Oh I'm thinking of going swimming Domenico, what does it fucking look like?

"Lula," Matteo presses as he attempts to grab my wrist to stop me.

I spin around and look up at him, anger almost pouring out of every part of my body. "Just get me away from here!" I shout.

"Boss," I hear Domenico say as he holds a phone to his ear, walking away from us. "It's Lula.. you need to get out here."

"Oh yeah you call your boss, little snake!" I shout at him. "Actually, I probably wouldn't. I think he's a little busy right now."

Suddenly two more figures appear, one of them being Elio. The other is one of Renzo's men who I've only seen around a few times before.

"Lula, calm down." Elio says as he tries to reason with me. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Get out of my way Elio." I warn him as I veer round the car and attempt to open another one which is parked not that far behind. "I want to go home."

"I can't allow that." He says as he runs after me.

"Well your boss didn't have a problem with trying to get rid of me the other week!" I snap as I turn back to him mid-walk. "He said he wanted me to go home. Now I want to leave, so let me leave."

He shakes his head. "I'm sorry but I can't allow that. Not until boss gets here anyway."

"I don't want your boss anywhere near me." I tell him sternly.

I'm done. I'm so done.

Just as I attempt to brush past Elio for a.. well I've lost count how many times now, I end up hearing Renzo before I actually see him.

"Lula!" His voice isn't necessarily loud, but it's sure as hell commanding.

I clench my jaw and look over towards the direction his call came from. His face holds an expression I can't quite decipher, which is pretty rich considering what he was just doing.

Or should I say who he was doing.

He takes the steps two at a time, making his way towards me as his eyes flick between Elio, Matteo and me. I notice him open his mouth to say something but I shake my head, taking a step back.

"Stay away from me!" I shout. "I swear to God, stay the fuck away from me."

He suddenly stops walking, appearing confused by my command. "What? What's wrong? What the hell is going on?" He asks, now taking a hesitant step towards me.
