Samuel didn't like how things moved, but Marcus wouldn't have any of it. The man was determined to act as though he were in charge so long as Jovani was out of commission. Where was the man anyway? "We don't have time to be fussing about the small stuff. You have been here long enough that we must move ahead with the next steps." Marcus repeated the same thing over and over. He didn't care what objections his cousin had. Things were going to go the way he wanted them. Cain had snuck away. Perhaps to…

The world hadn't yet decided it was time to stop coming crashing down. In fact, it seemed to have a mind of it's own as far as Lena was concerned. One positive seemed to add up to two negatives. Other things seemed wrong for each small matter that went right during the current. What was she supposed to do regarding the issue with Samuel? Marcus wasn't like Jovani. Meeting the man once was enough to make her well aware of this. Where Jovani enjoyed playing and pushing buttons, Marcus would follow…

Lena didn't know why but it was so hard to not sink into the weight of the other. It hadn't been that long, had it? Yet all the emotions that hit someone after not seeing a person they cared about forever hit her all at once. Emotions that she wasn't used to feeling so rapidly. As with anything else though, she pushed them back to avoid them. Not now. Not yet. Everything still wasn't fully okay. "I haven't died so I don't quite see why I am getting such a warm reception." The rumbling of the…

Lena heard the information but didn't move as she sat at the table. Her mind raced as she tried to process it. The doctor continued talking but the words went unnoticed by the Princess. One more problem on top of everything else they were dealing with? Now wasn't the time for that. The only time that the man in white did anything except for talking at her was when she got up to move. "Ah. I don't think that you should be doing that yet. You need to take some more time to rest." Lena slapped…

The phone call couldn't have come at a worse time for Julian. The light above the emergency room hadn't gone off and no one had come out. There wasn't even any way to go about opening the door to ask unless they wanted to break it down. That wouldn't exactly add to the positive feelings the staff already had about them. Julian checked to call, a silly thing since he already knew there was no way for it to have been Lena. She had dropped her phone when she'd passed out. Gabrielle was, in fact,…

Richard knew that it was a bold move but he couldn't keep his fingers off the phone in his pocket. One little call. One he hoped would be answered and assist with cleaning this mess up. Having muted his phone to avoid any potential disturbances before coming to meet with Jovani proved useful. Not even Marcus would be able to tell what he was up to. "For once, I think that you should listen to this one, Marcus. Samuel isn't like the rest of us." No. He was tenacious and stubborn but had no skills…

Samuel didn't even quite know what took over him when he challenged Marcus. Maybe it was whatever it had been in the cigar that Richard gave him; or the fact that he'd honestly had enough of everything. Too many people were coming in and trying to push him around in regards of what to do. Plans had already been made. Why did they have to change because someone else came in and said so? Whatever it was, he wasn't going to stand around as Marcus dictated everything and pushed people…

What was it with the Vedova Nera family? How was it that out of all the options, Alonso had chosen them. More importantly, why had Cain decided it would be a good idea to visit the mafioso's boss? Cain's fingers strummed against his thigh, a mixture of agitation and annoyance. He loved a good brawl just as much as anyone else in his group did. What stared back in front of him, however, could've hardly been called a mere brawl if anything should happen. Marcus and Richard continued to exchange words,…

Marcus tossed the phone back to Samuel, feeling accomplished in his threat. If the Red Scorpion's daughter had any sense, she would do as he said. She seemed more obsessed with his baby cousin than he'd anticipated. Why hadn't Jovani taken better advantage of that? Such power would've been a good asset for their family. "Marcus, I don't think it was wise to do that without knowing what has been going on." Samuel fumbled with the phone as he put it back into his pocket. There wasn't even a chance to…

Friends wasn't a word that Gabrielle would've used to quantify the relationship between her and Lena. The tall Italian woman knew that the word would never pass through Lena's lips. What was between them was a little more unique that blurred the lines between loyal workers and distant friends. They were never very close when they existed in the same space for years. The only thing that kept them looking together was family—Gabrielle's family, to be specific. Coming from a lower mafia family,…
