We enter the black jet and I take a seat at the window.

The pilot announced that we will take off soon.

Enzo came to sit right beside me when he could choose any other seat from this luxurious jet.

We take off, and I begin to fidget with my necklace one again and look out at the beautiful sight out of the small circled shaped window.

"Are you afraid of flying?" Enzo asks, making me turn to him.

"Why?"

"You play with your necklace," He says, pointing with his eyes at my hand around the necklace. I take my hand away and place it on my lap.

"I'm not- okay, I do, but I am not afraid of flying. I just have a bad memory of flying. Nothing I can't handle." I say truthfully

"Would you like to tell me about it?" He asks softly.

I chuckle. "Why do you care? If you think I won't be able to do my job properly because of that little experience, then you are awfully wrong."

"That's not why I am asking Evelyn. I thought you might want to take it off your chest. I know the feeling very well."

"Then I don't want to talk about it, it's personal." He can't act like we're besties.

He nods and goes on his phone and acts like this conversation didn't had place and I am glad.

The last time I flew was two years ago for a mission in Frace, and the plane crashed.

Little did I care about my life, but when Rori died, my heart shattered.

Rori was my girlfriend at that moment and I loved her, we were happy together. She was the sniper of the team, but unfortunately, she was killed in the crash.

I moved on. I know she would have wanted me to. She knew the risks of our jobs, and we took the risk. We became each others weaknesses and strengths at the same time.

"You remember the two guys armed from the ball?" Enzo asks, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yes. What about them?" I furrow my eyes as Enzo shows me his phone. "There was an attack?"

"Yes. They attacked after minutes we left, and many died, including the host." Ah, that's unfortunate. I actually knew the host. We had a few encounters. As well as a night in the club, just the two of us and some cuffs.

"We got lucky," I state. "Do we know the reason?"

"No, they left no trace."

I nod. It's not my problem anymore.

I felt my eye lids get heavier by second, my forehead resting on the window.

And I don't even realise when I drift into the darkness.

"Evelyn, wake up." I hear a man's voice so close to me, making me snap my eyes open and flinch slightly at his touch on my shoulder.

I relax when I see it's Enzo.

I shouldn't relax. I have never been so vulnerable around someone I don't know, and I must admit it's scary.

"We landed. Are you okay?" He asks, scanning my face.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go. " I get to my feet, and we exit the jet.

It's already morning, the sun shining on the cloudless sky.

I squirm my eyes at the light. I have to buy sunglasses.

"Bentornato Don."

(Welcome back, Don)

I have learned Italian and many other languages like French, Spanish, and German.

Enzo nods his head. "L'auto è pronta?"

(It's the car ready?)

"Si Don,"

"Follow me," Enzo said to me.

We walked to a black SUV like the many more I had home and entered in the back.

I noticed that there was a driver this time.

"Al palazzo principale," Enzo commanded

(To the main mansion)

The car started, and my leg bounced up and down. I am taken by surprise when I feel Enzo's hand on my knee, stopping my leg from bouncing.

"Relax, Evelyn."

It's easy for him to say that. It's not him that goes in a complete unknown location surrounded by strangers.

I shouldn't be nervous, though. I am a spy,I am trained to adapt fast but I don't know why I have a strange feeling about this.

I look out the window, analyzing the road and memoring it in case there is an emergency.

We enter a small woods, here is probably the mansion.

A two story mansion comes into my view. It's very luxurious and it has a pool too.

We come to a stop, and we exit the car.

"Do you live with your mafia here?" I ask as we walk towards the entrance.

"Just my most trusted men that are also my friends, you and me will live here. The others have another mansion a little bit further than here."

I nod in understandment, and once we are inside, I hear man voices yelling.

"Matteo where the fuck is the cereal box?!" One of the man yells.

"Up my ass!" Matteo yells.

They are in the living room arguing while the third man stays silently on the couch working on his laptop.

These are his most trusted men? I almost chuckle at the view infront of me. Can it go any more bad? I think it can.

"Boys" Enzo speaks loudly clearing his throat. Their heads snap to him and his murderous look.

"Oh hey Enzo, what's up?" The one that asked for the cereal said.

"Who's she?" Matteo asked.

"She will work with us from now on, her name is Evelyn-"

"The Silenced Woman?!"

"Yes Angelo but call her by her name here."

"What's up princess?" Angelo asked with a smirk on his face.

I remain silent taking all the details in.

"Angelo be fucking serious for a second and Matteo, why is Roman not hearing us?"

"He took his ear aids off because of our arguing."

"Well put them on. He needs to listen too"

Matteo reached for the ear aids and gave them to Roman.

He closes his laptop and looks at me suspiciously.

"Alright now that you all hear," that sentence was directed to Roman " Evelyn will stay with us and become a official member of the Italian Mafia. Matteo I want you to take care of that."

Matteo nods.

"Doesn't she talk? Or the name is because she is mute?" Angelo asks confused.

"I do talk but just with people that worth it."I say calmly.

"But you just talked to me so that means I am worth it princess"

"Evelyn, come I will show you to your room" Enzo says ignoring Angelo. I don't like him at all.

I nod " Leave me so soon?" Angelo asks.

"Can you keep your mouth shut for just two seconds? Matteo said angrily.

"Oh you shut up-"

Roman took his ear aids off again and opened his laptop. Now I wish I couldn't hear. Lucky him.

Me and Enzo go upstairs and we stop infront of a white door.

It could get stained by blood so easily.

"My room is the one exactly next to your and the others ones bedrooms are down the hall. The can be very noisy to that's why I chose this room for you." He says looking me directly in the eye. Not fearing me.

It feels good to know someone is not constantly afraid of you.

"Okay. Are you sure there isn't any other reason?" I smirk

"Maybe there is" He says playing along.

"Hmm I guess we will find out" I open the door and go in leaving Enzo in the hallway.

I really need to change from this dress.
