Camila stared at him on while sitting on his bed . The man did not spare a glance in her direction as he went about making different business calls.
" Doesn't he sleep at night ? "She wondered while staring at him curiously .
" Is there something on my face ? "he asked as his hazel eyes met hers . Camila bit her lower lip.
" you are not saying anything Camila ,I hope you don't have plans of making my night miserable ? "he asked and she shook her head .
" It's late , shouldn't you be getting some sleep ? "She asked and he sighed .
" I will go to bed when I dim it fit "he said and she stared at him in disbelief.
" Is this how you work everyday ? "She asked him curiously.
" It's late "she said and he sighed .
" Go to bed Camila ,I will go to bed soon "he said and she rolled her eyes.
" Just don't die with your workaholic ways,I'm too young to be a widow "She said and he stared at her in amusement .
" I thought you don't want to be in this marriage ? "he asked teasingly.
" That doesn't mean you are permitted to die Erduardo "she said and their eyes locked for a brief moment ,before his phone rang making them break the eye contact.
She watched curiously as he walked out of the room . Camila lay back on the bed as she closed her eyes trying to get some sleep .
Erduardo walked into the room after the phone call and sucked under his breath at the sight in front of him .
Camila asleep on the bed in his white sleeve shirt which was a bit raised revealing her dark panties that did little to cover her behind .
He looked away but found himself looking back again. The buttons of the shirt was also undone .
Turning towards the door ,he figured it was best he spent the night outside the room ,he might end up doing something he did not intend to do .
" Still not asleep yet ? "he asked curiously as he noticed his cousin on the couch typing away on her laptop.
" Nope ,I've been trying to hack into the security at the Venue but whoever it is at the other end is quiet talented "she said and lit up another stick of ciggarrate.
" Isn't it too late to be smoking ?"Erduardo asked and she chuckled.
" Says the same man that ran away from his room because of his wife "Penny said teasingly and he chuckled.
" Nobody can handle Camila ,I don't want to try "he said and Penny laughed.
" Sometimes we don't really know what we want until we loose it "she said and he chuckled.
" Still hooked on what happened ? I heard he married an African woman "he asked and Penny laughed bitterly.
" That french man deserved more than a broken mafia woman "she said and he leaned on the chair.
" Pierre and Tega are a perfect match according to people who are close to them "Erduardo said calmly.
" What do you think ?" She asked while puffing out smoke from her mouth .
" I don't know ,I have never been inlove . Anything I do has been for the well being of the business" he said and she chuckled.
" Be careful when it comes to women like Camila "she said and he laughed.
" We ain't a normal couple . She told me herself that she would not be performing her duties as a wife "he said and pinched the bridge of his nose .
" Maybe she said it to spite you ,have you thought about that ? "She asked curiously.
" I don't really care Penny you of all people should know this by now " he said and she took a deep breath in and out .
" Don't tell me you still hook up with Miranda "Penny said frowning.
" She is not as bad as you all think she is "he said and Penny sighed .
" She is an escort,besides you are married . What you are doing is called cheating"she said angrily.
" I didn't even fvck Miranda that night ,but that's not an information I'm willing to share "he said Penny sighed in relief.
" I was scared for a minute "she said and he laughed.
" You think I wouldn't ? I just haven't had the chance "he said with a chuckle.
" Show this side of you to her and you guys might just get along Eddy "she said and he stood up .
" We should be talking about Gabriel Fernandez ,not that stubborn Spanish woman "he said and Penny chuckled.
" She is very beautiful though " she said teasingly.
" Connect Ignacio , I'm sure he can help "Erduardo said as he sat on the opposite couch.
" You are really not going to your room "she asked in amusement.
" Focus on the business"he said and Penny laughed .
She sent a message to Ignacio and watched as the Capobranco typed away on his phone.
"This man is fvcking Serious " she muttered under her breath.
" Penny I can feel your eyes on me "he said and she burst out laughing.

The next morning Camila woke up feeling really exhausted .She got down from the bed and decided to get ready .
" Good morning "someone said coming into the room without knocking .
" Penny "Camila said and Penny flashed a smile in her direction.
" What happened ? "she asked curiously .
"I only came over to keep you company ,since we will be attending the event together in the evening " Penny said smiling.
" Event ? "Camila asked cluelessly and that's when she remembered what Erduardo said to her the other day in her room .
" I thought I was going to attend the event with Erduardo ? "She asked curiously .
"The Capobranco would be at the event before we arrive there . It's culture for the Dons to be there before us " he said and she sighed .
" I really don't want to be Involved in the business Penny " she said and Penny sighed .
" I understand where you are coming from ,but wether or not you get involved ,they will still find you "Penny said making her frown.
" Who ? "She asked nervously.
" His enemies "she said and Camila could not help but feel a rotten feeling in her stomach .
" Where is this meeting taking place ? What's it about ? "She asked curiously.
" It is supposed to be a charity event ,but some business transactions are made during the event"Penny said and she sighed .
" I believe we need to find you the perfect dress for the occasion"She said and Camila bit her lower lip.
" I don't think your brother would like my choice of dress though , it didn't end well the first time I visited him in my chosen outfit " Camila said as her mind went back to the first time they met .
" So what do you intend to wear ? "She asked curiously .
" My choice of outfit " she said smiling and Penny laughed.
" I am not going to stop you from wearing whatever you like babe , my brother can burn for all we care "Penny said and they both laughed.
" I have the feeling that we are going to be best friends "Camila said and Penny smirked .
" What color of dress would you like ,besides the team of the party is black ,I will be getting a black dress myself " She said and Camila smirked.
" Get me a red dress , it should be backless with a long slit " she said and Penny chuckled.
" Now I see why they call you a spoilt heiress ,you are one rotten baby "she said pointing at Camila .
" I'm an innocent girl please"she said as they both burst out laughing .
The whole day was spent with the girls doing spa and then trying to get ready for the event in the evening .

{ Sicily }
Penny stared at the Capobranco's wife as she tried her best not to freak out . Deep down she prayed he doesn't burn down the dress with Camila in it .
The limo stopped in front of the hotel and the guards walked out ti accompany them inside .
" What am I supposed to do ? "She asked Penny curiously.
" Stick to your husband's side "Penny said and Camila frowned .
" Like an arm candy ? "She asked and Penny chuckled.
" Blend in "she said and left her side .Camila could feel the eyes of almost everyone in the hall .
After all it was not everyday that a personality like her joined the underground business.
" Capobranco " Quinton said to Erduardo as he bowed.
"What is it ? "Erduardo asked calmly.
" Your wife has arrived with your cousin Penny "he said and Erduardo's eyes moved over to the direction and he nearly lost his mind .
" What kind of devilish dress is that ? "he asked and Quinton fought the urge to laugh at his Capobranco's reaction.
" Who let her leave the house dressed half naked ?"he asked trying his best not to snap.
"Erduardo Delgado "he heard a voice that made a smile form on his face .
" Mr Red "he said as he shook hands with the tall handsome man in Black Armani suit .
" You look worked up " The man said and Erduardo smirked at the man's thick Italian accent .
" I am not worked up Old friend "he said and Mr Red smirked as his eyes moved over to the beautiful woman in red .
" With that chica in red ,I'm pretty sure you married the rebellious one "Red said as he smirked .
" She is trouble "Erduardo said and Red smirked.
" Like my Father and uncles would always say , the right woman comes with a lot of trouble " he said as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
" De lucas "Erduardo said and he smirked.
" Delgado's ,we have one mortal enemy Erduardo I would calm down and let us have him in peace "he said smirking.
" You need us as as much as we need you "Erduardo said and Red stared at him .
" Your woman seems to be getting a lot of attention from ..."Red trailed and Erduardo's eyes moved towards her .
" Fvck "he cursed under his breath as he took heavy strides towards her .
" What are you wearing "he whisper asked the minute he got to her .
" A dress ,why are you sounding like I committed a crime ? "She asked and he held her close to him ..
" What do you get from being so rebellious piccolina ! "he asked calmly yet she could sense the anger in his voice .
" What are you going to do ... Capobranco ? "She asked with a smirk on her face .
