"Lexi, are you sure we should be going out tonight? I mean your brother and Dad still haven't figure out how to stop that guy that's after you" Kathleen asked putting her hand in her hair that I was fixing.

"Quit it" I said slapping away her hand. "I'm trying to that".

"Lexi, I'm serious. Do you think this is a good idea?"

"Kathleen, I'm never sure of anything anymore . But I can't just go ahead living my life in fear of being taken every time I'm not here" I said to her. "When was the last time you went out and have fun?"

"I don't remember. I think when I maybe 17years old, before I met Keith" Kathleen replied.

"Well it seems like we have more things in common than just a name. I haven't had fun or have a good time since my parents died" I said to her.

"What? What are you talking about?" Kathleen asked looking at me confused.

"When I was 14, my parents were killed. We were at home, it was an armed robbery. I witnessed it" I said to her. "I'm adopted Kathleen".

"What? I had no idea I thought... I'm so sorry Lexi. That must've been really hard experiencing something like that... I never knew my parents and it still hurts knowing that I don't know where I came from but knowing them and losing them especially the way you did must hurt way worst... I'm so sorry" Kathleen said sympathetically.

"Its alright, I've learned to get over it plus the guts who did it got what they deserved. And the Luciano's has been my life since they're more than a real family to me. After all that happened I was placed into a girl's home, I got into a lot of trouble there each day and so I ran away one night. Dad found me and brought me here, they've been the best to me and I never went back to England since".

"You're English?" Kathleen asked. "But... But how? Your accent.."

"I've had seven years to work on getting rid of my British accent. Needed to start over" I said using my old British accent which I still know how to do pretty well. "When I came here I became Alexa Kathleen Luciano, back then I was Kathleen Miller".

"Wow this is unbelievable, so we actually do share the same name" Kathleen said in this disbelief. "Does Uhm Giovanni knows about this?"

"No, and so far he thinks i'm Alexa Kathleen Miller and I'd like to keep it that way. anyway why is that so unbelievable? I had a bad experience and I accepted change" I asked using the British accent again without even realizing it until Kathleen chuckle slightly.

"What?"

"Guess one never truly gets away completely from what they know" Kathleen replied. "The accent".

"Oh" I laughed. "So you see I think we both deserved to go out and have a good time for once in our lives".

"I'm not sure how much of a fun company I can be but I'll try" Kathleen replied.

"And that is all I'm asking you" I smiled at her. "Alright so its time for the makeup".

*****************************************************

"Wow, I never been to a club before" Kathleen said to me trying to talked over the loud music playing.

"I've been here more than once" I replied.

"You party? By yourself?" Kathleen asked.

"No, I didn't came here to party. I came to see Gio, its his club" I said to her.

"What your boyfriend owns this place? Its amazing" Kathleen replied.

"Yeah I know, and you wanna know what'll be more amazing?" I asked to her.

""What?" Kathleen asked looking at me suspiciously.

"If you and I go over to that bar area over there get a few things then get back on that dance floor" I said dragging her to the bar.

"Hey there" I said to Simon.

"Hey haven't seen you around here in a while" simon chuckled.

"Yeah, I've been busy with work, haven't had much time for clubbing" I chucked as well. "This is my friend Kathleen".

"Nice to meet you" Kathleen said shyly.

"Like wise" Simon smiled. "So what can I get the beautiful ladies?"

"We need something that will give Kathleen here and I enough courage to get out there on that dancefloor yet still be conscious not to turn a total idiot" I said to him.

"I think I know the perfect drinks in mind" simon smiled. "Give me a few minutes ladies".

"Lexi, are you sure about this?" Kathleen asked.

"Gosh Kathleen, stop it. Live dangerously for once, be more unsure for once and quit acting like a nerdy teen in high school afraid of skipping one class. We're here to have fun and that's what's gonna happened tonight".

"Okay ladies here you go, I'm sure these will have you courageous enough" Simon said placing some shots in front us.

"Thanks Simon" I smiled at him. "Okay Kathleen here goes".

After just five shots of whatever that was that Simon gave us Kathleen and I had found our way on the dance floor dancing and laughing. We were actually having a great time at least I know I was. And I think Kathleen was too, we've been on that dance floor for more than ten minutes.

"I gotta go to the bathroom" I said to Kathleen before heading towards the bathroom.

I was retouching my makeup and hair in the mirror after I've finished my business and washing my hands when Gio's secretary Stacey came in looking quite trashy like she probably was.

"Oh look Gio's little Play toy" Stacey smirked leaning by one of the stalls.

I just laugh rolling my eyes before taking out my lip stick out my purse then reapplying it to my lips ignoring her.

"I don't get it, what does he see in you? Sure you're young and all probably just the only thing he sees in you, you're not all that sweetie" Stacey sneered. "He's gonna dump you when he's tired of you".

"Yeah probably, when I'm your age" I smirked at her. "What are you now uhm 49? 50? I think you're a little to old for this?" I said turning to leave.

"Hey, I'm not done talking to you!" Stacey said coming to block me from leaving.

"Well I am done talking to you. If Gio wanted you, you would've been with him, now just get out of my way" I said annoying side stepping her.

"You little bitch!" I heard her screeched from behind me before I was pulled back by my hair.

I flung my elbow back hitting her right in the face causing her to let go stumbling back but once again she was coming at me like a crazy woman. She fired a slap across my face and I punched her right in the face causing her to stumbled slightly from the impact and I used that opportunity to slam her head against the counter. She fell to the ground with a loud thud unconscious.

"Lexi Omg, what did you do!?" Kathleen gasped coming into the bathroom same as she fell.

"Opps" I chuckled.

"Opps!? Lexi Opps!? Are you crazy!? She could be dead!? Oh my God, oh my God!" Kathleen said putting her hands to her head freaking out.

I bent over Stacey feeling her neck for a pulse. She was still breathing.

"Oh, relax I didn't kill her. She's just unconscious right now" I said waving a hand. "She'll probably have a headache in the morning. Although I don't think Gio's gonna appreciate this much".

I looked back just in time to noticed the camera in the top corner of the bathroom.

"Uh oh, Kathleen we gotta go. Now!" I said to her.

I'm pretty sure whoever is monitoring that camera saw everything and already on their way down here.

"What about her?" Kathleen asked.

"Somebody will soon attend to her" I said dragging her out the bathroom.

"I think Pietro and Ian really wanna go home now"
