Chapter 427

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;: Luck Wasn't
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Aurora the woman you were with last night?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles let out a sigh.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She was.It looks like you do know a lot.Was that why you asked Maximo for her freedom?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey didn't answer immediately.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Instead, he took the wine from Charles.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You are going to get drunk at this rate," he cautioned.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles sighed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"But I'm not yet drunk.Besides, I know how to keep myself from getting drunk."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey grinned widely like a sly cat.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Are you kidding me? Seriously? With the rate at which you are going? I doubt that."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles let out an exasperated sigh.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"No problem then.I'm not offended." Grey smiled.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"So, what's this all about? We came here to have fun and not to get drunk.Why are you drinking?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles went still for a moment as if thinking about the reply to give Grey.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I can't stop thinking about her," he said suddenly.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"No matter how much I tried, I couldn't stop.I might have been drinking but it doesn't even look like that
to me."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey watched him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"And you don't want to think about her? I mean would you deny the fact that you like her? Even if it's
just a little.Would you throw that away because she's not like Aphrodite?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles shook his head briefly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Don't say it like that.I'm not even supposed to feel for Aurora.When did I meet her? Could it be
counted as a feeling? What if it's all lust?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey sighed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"See, I'm not saying that's not possible.It's very possible to lust after someone like that.And, it's equally
possible for it to be love.Why don't you give her a chance to get to find out what you really feel for her?
If it doesn't work out, fine.Then you guys can go your separate ways."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles raised skeptical brows.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;You think?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I mean, isn't that better than hurting yourself this way?" He hesitated as he watched him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Or there's something else you aren't saying.Perhaps it's what I said earlier.It's probably because she
used to be Maximo's mistress."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles looked away and released another sigh.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey was right actually.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Come on, Charles.Let's leave. getting too late," he informed him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"No problem but buy me a drink I can take home.At least, I'm free to get wasted and drunk in my
room."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Sure"' Grey laughed and stood up just as Charles did the same.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But as they made their way through the crowded dance floor, they noticed a group of big Italian men
staring at them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;At first, Grey and Charles tried to ignore them, thinking they were just being paranoid.But as they made
their way to the bar, one of the Italian men called out to them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Hey, you guys are new here, right?" the man sneered.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey and Charles exchanged a look.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They knew that being new in certain parts of Italy could draw unwanted attention, but they weren't
expecting trouble.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yeah, we are," Grey replied cautiously.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The Italian men laughed and exchanged a few words in their native language before turning back to
Grey and Charles.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well, this is a club for Italians.Maybe you should find somewhere else to go," the man said.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey bristled at the implication that they weren't welcome.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"We are just here to have a good time like everyone else," he said, trying to diffuse the situation.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But the Italian men weren't interested in backing down.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Hey, security!" one of the Italian men shouted, motioning to the bouncers.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Get these men out of here!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The security guards approached Grey and Charles, but before they could escort them out of the club,
another man stepped in.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It was Leonardo, a well-known and feared mafia lord in Italy.He was surrounded by a group of men who
looked just as intimidating as the Italian bullies who were harassing Grey and Charles.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Aside from the fact that he was well known, Leonardo was the owner of the bar.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leonardo looked at the Italian men with a cold, steely gaze.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What seems to be the problem here?" he asked in a low voice.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles looked at Grey.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"He seemed to be the boss around here.Are we still in trouble or not."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"We are not, Charles," Grey assured.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His luck was enormous that day.He has been saved severally that day.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The Italian men hesitated, looking nervously at Leonardo and his crew.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"These new men don't belong here," one of them said, trying to explain.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes, they don't.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They shouldn't be here!"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leonardo raised an eyebrow.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"And who decided that?" he asked, his voice dripping with disdain.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I am the owner of this bar but did I lay any rule like that."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The Italian men shifted uncomfortably, they knew that they were no match for Leonardo and his men.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leonardo might have them locked in prison and there's nothing anyone would do about it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Leave now, while I'm still acting nice.These are my visitors.And you will accord them the respect you
so give me.Besides, these men are also Maximo's visitors and I wonder what he would do to you if
anything happens to these men." Their hearts made a sudden thud at what Leonardo had just said.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They knew they had to leave before they cause trouble that they might not be able to resolve.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Che Cazzo" they muttered something in Italian and backed away, disappearing into the crowd.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leonardo turned to Grey and Charles, giving them a curt nod.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You're welcome to stay," he said, his voice gruff but not unkind.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey and Charles were both relieved and a little intimidated by the encounter.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Thank you so much, Leonardo. I really appreciate it. Oh, that reminds me. This is Charles, he's my
right man,"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey introduced.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leonardo turned to Charles.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Nice meeting you. Are you coming to the gathering?"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles nodded once, even though his brows were still raised at Grey in a confused manner.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Leonardo smiled.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Alright then, till the gathering. Grey sent him another bright smile and watched him walk away before
he made his way to the bar. Charles followed behind.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What gathering is that?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes, while you were kissing Aurora this morning, I met with some of the mafia lords and we planned to
have a get-together," he revealed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Charles laughed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'm definitely not missing it."
