"How was Spain?"Lorenzo asked me as I walked into my office. He's sitting on the couch with his phone in one hand and a drink in the other, most likely waiting for me.

I ignore him and go to my desk. I decided to leave Spain early this morning and arrived around eight.

I try not to think of last night and the one person who's capable of making me do what ever they want. I need to stay focused - now more than ever.

"Why are you drinking this early?"I ask as I look through some sheets.

"I'm a bit stressed and needed something to relax." He downs the last bit of his drink before getting up. "Don't worry.I'm not planning on getting drunk,bossman."

He sets the glass down and walks towards the door. "Seeing as you didn't answer my question earlier, I'm guessing your time in Spain was memorable." He smirks and I frown. How did he...? Before the door shuts he shouts over his shoulder, "Dante will probably fill you in with everything later since I really really have to be somewhere else right now. You know I am a very busy man!"

I scoff at that before resuming with some work I needed to catch up with. I was only planning on staying in Spain for two days but those two days turned into a few more days. I had send Dante and Gio home on the second night after I had decided to extend my stay.

It would've been longer if it wasn't for those damn Russians. Nikolai is infuriating and only gives me headaches each passing day. Maybe I haven't been taking him seriously all this time. And it would only be a matter of time before something worse happens.

And I can't have that. This needs to end.

Dante walks in a few minutes later and he tells me about what had happened while I was gone. I lost a few of my men and the east side of the mansion had been slightly destroyed by all the shooting that took place.

I frown when he mentions that someone had killed a few of my guards at the gate  which helped the Russians enter my property. I clench my fist as he goes on to say that it's most likely a rat because the security code of the gate and the east side doors were already unlocked, making it easier for them to have gotten in.

"The same thing happened over a year ago." I mutter before typing something into my computer. I search for something I didn't think to check last time.

"What are you talking about?" Dante asks.I don't answer him as I focus on finding what I'm looking for.

When I find it I narrow my eyes at the screen before my muscles tense up. My jaw clenches as I turn the computer to show Dante. I don't show him the whole thing before turning the computer back to me. When he looked at the screen, something dark passed his features.

He looks at me. "That can't be." He mumbles before his eyes lifts to me.

I grunt before getting up and rounding my desk. "I want everyone in the meeting room around one pm." I say as I open the door and walk out.

I can't believe I didn't notice it sooner. Right under my fucking nose and I didn't suspect a thing.

The blatant disrespect.

My hands shake as I clench them into fists. I have to calm down before I handle this and think straight before I taking any action.

They have no idea what they just unleashed.
