I gasped and did the same on the other side. "It has pockets?" I inquired, completely bewildered. "Of course it does," Luca mumbled and I smiled, leaving my hands in the pockets. I was so going to use these. "We just have to wait for my mother to get picked up for the transport," Luca stated. "When is that?" I asked at the same time the elevator dinged. "Now." I looked ahead to see Maddox walking into the penthouse, dressed in all black, a bullet proof vest around his chest and guns on his hip. He smiled at me. "You look beautiful," he complemented and I gave a stiff smile. "Thanks," I said awkwardly. "So you're transporting Faye?" "Yep, me and some other men." "Nothing too flashy right? It's not going to seem like you're transporting the president?" I asked because that was important. "Yes of course," Mad
Lucy's POV I picked at my nails that had just gotten a fresh French manicure. Faye had helped me with my make up, my eyeshadow was dark to bring out my brown eyes and I had on some nude dark brown lipstick, nothing too bold. My hair was held in a curly bun at the top of my head and my bags fell softly on my forehead, framing my soft features. "Isn't he supposed to give me a dress?" I mumbled mostly to myself, getting ready to leave this room and barge into Luca's for my gown. "Patience darling, you'll get nowhere if you're this rushed," Faye said from her spot on my bed. "I'm not impatient I'm just worried, nervous and very restless," I mumbled. I had no idea what Luca was going to put me in. Leather? Maybe. I'd look sexy in that at least. "My son does things with precision. It can sometimes be off putting-" "Sometimes?" I cut Faye off with a snort but she still continued. "-but... he always pulls through." "Yeah I hope so because I can't stand just sitting here any longer,"
Luca's POV I poured myself a glass of water and chugged it down slowly. I sighed in satisfaction as I set the glass on the table, leaning against the counter. I bowed my head and rolled my shoulders, my body aching from all the fighting and boxing I'd been doing all morning. The past few days hadn't been easy. Finding a dress for Lucy was harder than I thought it would be but I managed to pull it off. I thought of the white box with the light brown ribbon that sat in my room, ready to be delivered. I couldn't stop the worry that slowly seeped its way into my heart. Worry that Lucy wouldn't like the dress I got her. It was much different from what most would wear to such an event, I would know I've been going to them since I was 18 but something urged me to stand firm with the dress. I would love to see how she looked in it. The ding of the elevator sounded in the quiet room and my mother's chatter filled the penthouse. I moved around the counter, leaning against the kitchen door
I sipped on the orange juice that was in the glass beside me. It had been spiked with something and I wasn't telling Faye because she'd throw a fit but after all the things Kaleb had done to me, I think I deserved this little form of pleasure. I placed the glass down outside the large tub Faye and I were relaxing in, the top covered with rose petals while the foam at the top smelt a little like vanilla. Outside the tub were candles that flickered softly and soft music sounded in the air. "I don't think I can move," I commented resting my back on the tub. "I know. I think doing this today was a bad idea," Faye noted and I agreed. I barely had any strength left in my bones that felt like jelly. I sighed, adjusting the bikini I had on. It was plain black unlike Faye's deep blue one. For a woman her age, she was very fit. I fiddled my fingers under the water, gathering the courage to ask Faye a few questions about Luca. Questions I hoped would clear things up. "Faye?" "Yes darling?
Lucy's POVI didn't know what it was about surviving an explosion that gave me an unfathomable thrill. I had seen lots of them, even caused two other explosions in my life but they were all tests at the safe house. The adrenaline I got from surviving the last one put more determination into my vein
Luca was going down the stairs faster than I was, anger clear in his movements. Why was Alexa here anyway? She and Maddox were supposed to be catching the wife of the Raven's Don. It had barely been a week. How did they find her so fast?That is if they found her.And as soon as we turned the corne

I tightened the straps of the backpack on my back. This was the most important thing That I came with on this trip. It was the reason why Lily had to stay in the car and I felt giddy at the thought of using what was inside.I was dressed head to toe in black, my hair having been plaited into two ti
