I woke up in a dark unfamiliar room. I looked around but could barely see anything since it was dark and nighttime.
I was still thinking about Chris and everything. My brain is so messed up that I passed out.
I sat up on the bed still looking around.
“I see you’re awake.” The corner of the room lit up and Dante was dressed in a suit with a smirk on his face. I got up immediately.
“Sorry sir, I didn’t know you were here.” I kept my head low since I’m not used to situations like this.
“Sorry again for the trouble.” I rushed to the door.
“You should stay here and rest.” I turned to him in shock. “It’s late,” he got up and left.
I stood there for another five minutes debating on whether I should lay on the bed or not. I was tired. I was still in my work clothes and it would be weird if I slept in them.
He did say to be comfortable indirectly.
I hesitantly walked over to the closet. I found multiple designer shirts and pants with some casual clothing.
I pulled out a black plain shirt that looked really big.
I quickly changed, then sank into the bed.

I felt a hard but warm surface beneath me. I slowly peeked through my eyelashes and found Dante peacefully asleep.
What the freak
I jumped up so hard kneeing him in the process. A raspy groan escaped his throat.
His eyes opened and stared at me. He smirked.
“Having fun?” He shows a little sense of humor.
He sat up and released his firm defined abs. My mouth watered at the sight but it remained calm. This is frickin inappropriate and here he was having fun.
“Excuse me sir.” I bowed my head and ran away.
If anyone were to see me, they would never think I worked for a mafia. But that's me and I love me.
I went back to my room, I didn’t find Celine so I took a shower and went to my station. Dante would have a meeting today and would probably stay out all night so I had enough time to do what I need to do.
“Morning” I eyed her suspiciously while getting my stuff. I noticed her looking at me from the corner of my eye.
“You need something?” I chuckled.
“Come on, what happened? I know you were with Dante the whole night.”
“Soooo, I was asleep and wasn’t cautious of my surroundings so it didn't matter.” I walked out and to the 3rd floor.
It had multiple hallways but less rooms. I focused on my work and when I was done, I decided that today was the day to explore. I told Mrs.Smith that I wanted to explore the mansion and she told me to not stress myself and not get into trouble.
I went outside and walked to the backyard; there was a huge garden with different plants that I have never seen before. I wandered for a little while and came across another house but not as big as the first one. I went in and it was filled with men dressed in black. One grabbed me by the arm.
“Who the hell are you and what the f*** are you doing here? He growled. I squirmed in his grip
“Let go of me.” I kept struggling; he let go for a second and I kicked his stomach and ran away. I saw his shadow following, then hid somewhere. When the coast was clear, I skipped to the last floor; I went deeper into the basement until I heard screaming. I jumped and held my chest while going closer to the source of the screaming. There was a steel door and I pulled it open. I covered my mouth when I saw who it was. The man was tied to the ceiling with a chain, covered in blood with only 4 fingers left 2 on each hand. Dante stood there with the most dangerous expression ever. He looked scarier than when I first met him. Beside him was another man dressed in black. Dante's hands were covered in blood and then he shot him. I screamed.
All eyes turned to me and I stayed frozen in my spot. Dante wiped his hands and started marching towards me. My brain swiped back and I ran. I ran back to the mansion; I bumped into Celine.
“Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?” I didn’t answer but kept running.
I opened the door, but it got slammed with a firm hand and I was pinned to the wall in seconds.
I stared into those blue dangerous eyes.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he growled
“Nothing” my voice came out weaker than expected.
Right now, it was not the teasing Dante I knew yesterday but the Dante who could kill me in seconds if I messed up.
All my years of working with the Mafia, I never experienced anyone killing; but today was a very disgusting sight. I will never forget how scared the man looked before he died.
“ANSWER ME.” his voice boomed
“I didn’t know”
“Didn’t know you should mind your f*****g business.”
“I’m sorry.” I didn’t know so it’s not that serious.
“You better fuckin be and the next time you dod something like that, your head will be next.”
He stormed off.
I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he was out of sight.
I picked up my phone as soon as it rang.
“Hello”
“How far with everything”
“I’m getting there.” I gritted out
“Five more days Brown and you are done.” He cut the call
Frickin bastard.
I tucked my phone in my back pocket and walked to my station.
Putting on my uniform, I got a text from Alex. It was a picture of papers that had info of Dante. Another text came after. “If you need any help, text me.”
I pushed the bucket to the living room; dusting out the table and chairs. I swept the floor and mopped. There was a black stain on the floor. I scrubbed it but it didn’t come off. I added more pressure but it didn’t leave.
I got mad and used my nail to scratch it off. In the process, a piece of my nail came off and it started bleeding.
