The minute I stepped in the house I was greeted by an angry Dad.

"What the hell were you doing SEATO!?" Dad asked angrily.

"Who says I was at SEATO?" I asked innocently.

"Your trackers said so! What the hell is wrong with you!? You drugged your guards then snuck out and went to the very place where the guy who is trying to kidnapped you is staying!" Dad fumed.

"I told you I agreed to that tracking implant only for emergencies not so you could track me the minute I'm no longer in this house" I said to him.

"Lexi, what the hell is wrong with you?" Dad asked.

"I'm sorry okay, I just needed some time away from here. I felt as if I was losing my mind being here solely" I sighed. "I knew no one would allow me to go out so I put sleeping pills in their drink".

"You could have gotten hurt Lexi, you can't keep doing these things. And why did you even go to the same hotel where Rostov is staying?" Dad asked suspiciously.

"I may have heard of Dominic's plan for tonight" I said biting my lip waiting for dad's wrath.

"I figured it was something like this. Lexi you do realized how you not only put yourself at risk by doing this. You also could have put Dominic and the other guys at risk if Rostov had saw you" Dad replied.

"Oh, he saw me alright" I chuckled. "In fact he even bought me drinks. I think he was totally in love with me".

"What!?" Dad asked in disbelief.

"He even invited me up to his room. He had a very nice suite by the way" I chuckled shaking my head. "I believed his plan was to have us sleep together but then he just passed out".

"Lexi?" Dad said dangerously meaning for me to explain.

"Dad nothing happened, he just passed out. Poor thing" I laughed. "By the way I don't think Dominic is gonna have much work to do now anyway".

"You killed him?" Dad asked but it sounded more like a statement.

"I'm not confessing to anything here Dad, you just gonna have to trust me that Rostov isn't gonna be an issue for me or any one of us anymore" I smiled then then going to kiss his cheek. "I love you Dad, thank you for teaching me all that I know".

"I'm kinda tired right now, I've had a long night so I'm just gonna go up to bed okay, night Dad".

"Goodnight Lexi" Dad replied shaking his head.

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

"How mad was your Dad at you last night?" Kathleen asked as we lounge by the poolside in our backyard.

"He was super mad that I drugged the guys and snuck out then went to the same hotel that Rostov was staying. But in the end he calmed down" I said to her.

"You did what? Lexi you could have gotten hurt, he could have gotten you easy and who knows what' would've happened to you. I think you should just wait until Dominic solve whatever problem Rostov have with you before going back out in public" Kathleen said to me concerned. "You may not be lucky like the last time if he sends his men after you again".

"Kathleen Rostov can't even send away the flies that are probably swarming his body right now" I chuckled. "Trust me, we won't be having anymore issues from Rostov from now on".

"What...what do you mean?" Kathleen asked looking at me confused even though I'm sure sh probably knew what I meant.

"Kathleen, your far too innocent for these things but Rostov is dead. We can go anywhere we want now without worrying about him or his men" I said to her before picking up my glass of juice and taking a sip.

"Did Dominic...uhm you know?" Kathleen asked hesitantly.

I know she was asking if it was Dominic who killed Rostov. I swear this girl was too naive and clueless for her own good. She was seriously gonna have to learn how to stand up for herself and be more conscious of things around her in order to survived.

"No he didn't" I replied.

"Oh" Kathleen said a bit relief.

"Let's just say, Rostov may have partied with the wrong girl last night. A young, sexy, blonde bluish green eyed girl" I said looking directly at her dropping hints.

"Y-you?" Kathleen asked shock with wide eyes.

"Yep" I nodded. "Look Kathleen I don't like being threatened or having to put my life aside in fear of others. In life you can't continue to live in fear, you got to learn to stand up for yourself and conquer your fears...literally".

"Can I ask you something?" Kathleen asked nervously. "Actually two things".

"You can ask me anything" I replied.

"Did you witnessing your parents being killed have anything to do with how you aren't afraid to kill now?" Kathleen asked.

"I never really thought about it before" I said honestly. "But I think it does make me a bit ruthless in things like this. Even though I started killing as a way of trying to save myself. I told you that story before, about my first so called boyfriend not being the guy who I thought he was".

"Yeah which kinda relates to my second question" Kathleen said. "How do you think Gio would feel or react if he found out all of this?".

"He'd probably be really angry, then started yelling at me in Italian then probably shot me in the head for deceiving him" I replied.

"What?" Kathleen asked confused.

"Kathleen I probably shouldn't be telling you this but for some reason I just trust you and you're just so easy to talk to" I said to her.

"You are too and don't ask me why but I trust you too a lot" Kathleen said to me.

"Well I'm glad the feeling is mutual" I smiled at her. "Now back to what I was saying. Gio is the leader of another mafia group. The Cavelli's group. I think he has eyes on the Luciano's possibly being an enemy and vice versa. He thinks Dad is still the boss of the Luciano's group however, at least I think he still does. I saw it in a file he had at his penthouse. Rostov was after me because of him as well. I was gonna be used as leverage. Gio doesn't know that I'm a Luciano, when we met I was just playing a part by trying to find out if he was involved in any mafia business but along the way I got to really really like him. I had told him my name was Miller at the time so he still thinks that's my name and that I'm an innocent girlfriend."

"If he found out now he's gonna think everything has been a lie, even worst now that he said he love me. I think I might even be in love with him as well I'm just worried about what's gonna happened when he figure out who I really am. Everything's gonna be such a mess".

"Aww, how touching" I heard Dominic said behind us sarcastically.

"Dominic what the hell!?" I shouted throwing my towel at him. "Are you frigging crazy sneaking up on us like that and eavesdropping!?"

"Get over it" Dominic said to me before turning to Kathleen. "Hey Kathleen".

"Hi" Kathleen smiled blushing.

Alright then, am I missing something here?

"Looking good" Dominic smiled at her obviously taking in her bikini clad body then throwing back my towel on me.

"Thanks" Kathleen blushed even more.

"Ahem" I said. "Quit being a perv Nic. Stop staring at her like that".

"I don't think it would be appropriate staring at you since your my sister, blood or not. And Kathleen doesn't seem to mind, do you?" Dominic said turning back to Kathleen who was now obviously uncomfortable with our conversation now.

"Stop it. You're making her uncomfortable" I said to him. "Why are you even here?"

"Yeah good point" Dominic said seriously now. "Last night we were to handle things with Rostov but he was found in his hotel room, unconscious".

Dominic was obviously trying not to discussed things as it is seeing that Kathleen was around. But she already knew what had happened to Rostov because I had just told her not too long ago.

"What do you mean by unconscious?" I asked feigning innocent.

"Lexi, I think you know what unconscious means" Dominic said looking at Kathleen slightly.

"Its okay Dominic, I think I know what you mean by unconscious as well. He was found dead" Kathleen said to him. "I'm used to hearing these things now".

"Anyway he was seen leaving the club with a hot young blonde on his arm, then minutes later we found him in his hotel room with a broken neck" Dominic said to me.

I heard Kathleen gasp and I looked over at her noticing her eyes were wide at hearing how Rostov died. I looked back at Dominic keeping the most innocent look ever on my face.

"Oh, that's too bad. Guess you have to be careful from now on not to leave the clubs with blondes on your arm" I chuckled.

I heard Kathleen chuckled as well from beside me. I was surprise to see this reaction from her knowing what situation I was making fun of. Guess my girl's loosening up and understanding the killer humor.

"Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. But I think I should be more aware of the fake blondes" Dominic replied. "You know what I mean right Lexi? Fake blondes with fake extensions".

"Yeah those are the worst" I said playing along with him.

"You compromised my mission last night Lexi" Dominic said seriously.

"What are you so upset about? The guy wanted me he got me. I made life easier for you last night, besides he was being a problem to me so why are you complaining again?" I asked him.

"How did you even know where he was staying or even in town?" Dominic asked curiously.

"Let's just say that I have my ways and sources" I smiled at him. "Oh and by the way you should really check that brown jacket and purple shirt that you wore the other day pockets. And tell Marc to check his too".

"You planted listening devices on us?" Dominic asked surprised.

"Yeah sorry but you guys wouldn't tell me anything and you low I hate being kept in the dark" I said to him.

"You are so devious I am afraid trust me" Dominic said.

"Nah, I don't think I'm that bad that I could scare a big Mafia boss but if that's the case maybe you should hand I've your reigns to me" I chuckled.

"Maybe I should" Dominic chuckled before eyeing Kathleen again.

I figured I should probably give these two a moment by themselves because I could tell there is some form of chemistry going on between these two.

"Anyway I'm famished, I'm gonna go make lunch" I said getting up and wrapping my towel around me. "I'll leave for you guys in the kitchen if you want".

"Oh and Kathleen later on I'm gonna need your help with getting my hair back to normal, I like the blond hair but I love my dark hair more" I said to her before walking off.
