I need to escape from here now! I can smell it but I can't taste it. I stare at the papers and documents in front of me but I can hardly read shit. It's like they were written in Latin. The secretary of Bocciolo Hotel is here briefing me about the damage cost, fatalities and settlements but everything is saying sounds like a muted cartoon from a television. Focus Davi. I shake my head slightly and try reading the documents again. Damn! Lots of numbers, way too much money. We really did lose a lot, for the sake of Federico's living, I really hope he's not involved in this bombing case.

My body is slightly shaking as I grip the papers with so much force It starts to tear at the middle. Now I'm not sure if it's hunger or anger that is swelling in me but I'm about to burst.

"That will be all Miss Luchesse, your lawyer will be here shortly with your accountant. They will help with the rest." She bows then leaves. I get up immediately and pack the documents into a file. I do not eat before Rick and Ross arrives to my office, I would faint. My office door jams open and I whip my head back to see who it is with a panic expression on my face. Turns out it's Tiana. She stands rigid in front of my door with a stiffed expression, she eyes me carefully.

"What are you doing?"

"Preparing to leave. You?"

"Came to call you for breakfast. You're skipping?"

"Heck No!"

She chuckled as she watches me scramble my stuff and walk out the door with her trailing behind me. We get to the dining hall that papa made for his wife and children alone. He restricted the hall for family time. Him, mama, me and Tiana. It's a round shaped hall, not very large but it has enough space for our little family of four.

"What's for breakfast?" I ask Tiana as we walk with fast strides to the hall. She smirks at me.

"Guess"

I scowl at her. This chick seems to be forgetting something.

"I'm taller than you" I smirk down at her. Now, it's her turn to scowl. Finally, we get to the hall. The doors open and we both halt abruptly at the sight before us.
Gloria and her sisters are seated in the dining reserved for ony my family! And they are eating and chatting excitedly. The anger I was doing so well at suppressing begins to resurface. I slowly drag my eyes over to Tiana. She is mouthing words to me but I don't listen as I pull my glock from my suit. It all happens in slow motion.

"Noooo"

Bang. I shoot the teacup Gloria was about to place on her lips, their screams and shattering of the cup fills the air. I point the gun at Gloria herself this time and shoot, it goes directly through her hair, her high bun hair. It leaves a hole in it. Her screams intensifies. I point the gun lower to her chest and I pull the tri—

"Stop" Tíana takes the gun from my hand but only because I let her, my hands are shaking, I do not wait for Tina's instructions as I march up to meet Gloria, she falls off the chair and begins to scramble and crawl away from me while screeching like an injured witching.

"You wanted to see me react to your act of foolishness right?" I question is some type of maniac way, my head tilts to the side, my feet stalking her slowly cause I know she has no space to run or hide. Her back hits the wall and she immediately gets on her knees and begins to beg.

" Your mother gave us the permission to eat here. I didn't know it was going to make you mad"

Liess. I pull her up by her hair to hear her hiss in pain. I pull her face closer so she can what I'm about to say.

"Now you know. Get out of this place, from the estate. I do not want to see your face anywhere in my home. Got it?" I'm practically seething to her face. Her eyes are wide and terrified. She nods meekly and I fling her to the side, she falls flat on her face. For her sisters... I look behind me and find no one else in the hall but Tiana. My right eyebrow rises in question.

"They ran off"

"Pathetic"

Gracie managed to scramble away from me but when she gets to the entrance she looks back with a nasty scowl on her face.
"Papa will hear of this" she threatens.

"Tell him no the phone on you way to wherever the fuck you're gonna stay for the next two weeks" I say calmly like I don't want to wring her neck. She gives the stink eye and I give her the "I'm not fucking joking with you" eye. She leaves, limping on one one foot.

Tiana watches her leave then turns back to me. Her lips are tight telling how hard she's trying to hold in her laughter. She fails, her laugher bounces of the hall like a ball. She bends and pats her knees as she continues to howl loudly. Seconds after watching her laugh, I find myself smiling then I start to join in her harlequin laughter.

We stop laughing but mirth plays on our lips.

"Too angry for breakfast"

I squint my eyes at her. "Stop playing" she chuckles light. Maids come in to clean the mess I made and we take our seats, waiting for our meal. Tiana clears her throat.

"Mr Dimitri says he'll be leaving for Moscow this afternoon. He has issues that needs to be fixed" She says and right after that, maids walk in with our food in their hands. They begin to serve us. Brioche and coffee, Latte Macchiato for me and
Decaffeinato for Tiana. The maids leave and we return to our conversations.

"He says he will come and pick you up for the Minister's wife's birthday party"

"I'll be expecting him"
