Chapter 12
Rome, Italy.
Kai's pov:
I can't believe today is the day I fucking abduct Alliana and force her to be Carlos's lawyer. I told Carlos we should have just found a new lawyer, but he insisted on having Alliana as one. I returned home with AJ and Denzel after I left the prison. Vex was already sitting in the living room, perplexed as usual.
"All right," I said to the three of them as I paced back and forth. "Today is the day where we can't fuck up or we'll be fucked up," I explained. "I still don't understand why Carlos wants Alliana; do you think it's strange?" Vex asked. "I'm a little skeptical," I say. "If Carlos has a crush on Alliana, why didn't he try to have sex with her on the first day she was here?" Vex asked.
"Because Souline and I were there, and Carlos knows Alliana isn't a whore, and that's easy like the other women he's brought here," I explained. "Considering she has such an attitude," AJ observed. "What do you mean?" Vex asked. "When AJ and Denzel first arrived, they were rude to Souline and Alliana," I explained.
"And you two did that for what?" Vex asked, brow furrowed at AJ and Denzel. "We thought those were Carlos' flings," AJ explained. "Just because Souline and Alliana are both attractive does not imply that Carlos fucked them," I explained. "How would you know Carlos fucked them?" Vex wondered. "I'm not fucking sure. Because of what happened last time, I assumed," Denzel stated.
"What situation?" I asked, baffled. "That one girl who came to the mansion last time and claimed Carlos got her pregnant? She refused to leave because Vex and AJ refused to let her in," Denzel stated. "Oh, her?" I finally asked, remembering that situation. "Did you indeed forget? I thought you said you'd never forget that experience," Vex said. "I forgot a lot of things because of this plan," I explained.
"When are we going to complete this plan?" AJ asked. "I suggest that we do it at midnight, when everyone is asleep because we need to get to Ontario in two hours," I elaborated. "Right now it's ten o'clock, so at twelve?" Vex asked. "You're right," I said. "Do you have anything we can bring?" Denzel asked. "Ropes, tapes, and chloroform," I explained. "Are we really going to drug her?" Vex asked. "We can't have her awake because she'll scream," I said. "That's why we have the tape," Vex explained.
"Chloroform is better, and we ain't no damn rapists, and we're not going to do anything to her while she's unconscious," I explained. "So, what do we do in the meantime?" AJ asked. "Feed Mimi, eat, and then we'll go," I instructed. "I just hope we don't get caught and locked up," AJ said. I sighed and rubbed my eyelids.

Alliana's pov:
I looked back after about two hours of cooking and saw the food I had prepared. I made pancakes with eggs and bacon with coffee, which seemed simple, but it was my first time cooking on my own, even though I usually order out or have Souline cook for me.
I knew that blueberries were Souline's favorite berries, so I made her some blueberry pancakes. I let them cool down because they were a little steamy but not burned. I went to check on my eggs and bacon, and I was pleasantly surprised.
My eggs appear clear, and my bacon is crispy, which is a relief because I was expecting it to be a little flat or plain. I returned to my stove and finished Souline's food. I placed the pancakes on her plate and drizzled them with syrup.
I smiled as I watched the blueberries fall to the ground. I waited for Souline to come downstairs so I could make her coffee. She came downstairs about twenty minutes later, wearing one of my clothes, and I'd say, she was stunning.
"Finally, I feel like I've been waiting for two hours," I said. "I was showering, not rummaging through your closet for clothes," Souline explained as she sat across from me. "You did not make this for me," she exclaimed, looking at the blueberry pancakes. "I certainly did," I said as I stood up and grabbed the coffee maker. "Hm, okay," Souline said, squinting her eyes at me.
"I'm not kidding! I spent my time preparing meals for us," I said as I poured coffee into her cup. "I'm just teasing you. I smelled it from upstairs as well, and my stomach grumbled," Souline said as she sipped from the cup. "Well, eat because we're expecting a client soon," I said. "All right," Souline said as she began to eat her pancakes.
"You should make these more frequently."

AJ's pov:
I can't believe one of the toughest bodyguards here is afraid of a cat. "Vex, she's not going to hurt you," I rubbed my brow. "You said that last time, and I got bit twice," Vex said, shakily moving the spoon containing cat food toward her. "You know cats can sense when someone is a threat, right?" Denzel asked. "Yeah, and I'm not a threat," Vex said, furrowing his brow at Denzel and me.
"Bro, just feed her so we can get ready," I said. Vex sighed and fed Mimi, who was looking at him with devilish eyes. "How come she's staring at Vex like that?" I spoke quietly to Denzel. Denzel shrugged and backed away, and I did the same because I didn't know what to do. "Why are you two backing up?" Vex asked. "Nothing," Denzel replied nervously. "You better tell me or I'll shoot-AH!" yelled Vex. I covered my ears and widen my eyes as I saw Mimi pounce on Vex and begin attacking him.
"What the hell is going on!?" Kai exclaimed as he ran downstairs and looked at us. "Mimi is attacking Vex again," I reported. "So why are you dumbasses standing there not helping him?" Kai asked. "Because it's quite funny," Denzel giggled. "The next time, it's your responsibility to feed Mimi," Kai told Denzel. Kai went to get Mimi. He tried to calm her down, but she ended up fleeing and running upstairs.
We all ran after her and found her inside the conference room, hiding beneath the desk. Kai went after her, but she was retaliating. "Mimi, pipe the fuck down or I'm getting the spray," Kai growled, causing Mimi to calm down. I summoned the maids and requested that they accompany Mimi to her room. "I swear, if Alliana acts like this when we abduct her, I'm going to shoot her," Kai said as he exited the room.
Vex had a few scratches on his face, which Denzel and I noticed. "Let's get you fixed up before we go," I said, grabbing the medkit. "If you even think of touching me, I'll do to you what Mimi did to me, but worse," Vex said. "Yeah, yeah, calm down, you big baby," Denzel groaned as he cradled Vex.

Souline's pov:
I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my stomach with gratification. "Those blueberry pancakes and coffee were delicious!" I exclaimed as Alliana began to clear the table. "Thank you," Alliana said with a smile. "No problem, and has the client ever told you their name?" I asked. "Now that you mention it, I don't recall them ever telling me their name," Alliana said. "Right," I responded. "Well, let's just hope it's not anyone strange," Alliana said as she began to wipe down the table.
"I'm going to my section and organize it," I said, getting up and stretching. "All right," said Alliana. When I got to my table, I noticed the shambles. I started throwing out my trash, unused files, and other unimportant items. I stored my pens, paperclips, envelopes, stapler, and other desk supplies in their respective drawers. "Clean and organized," I said as I wiped the dust from my desk.
I threw it away and washed my hands. Someone unexpectedly knocked on the door. I quickly fixed myself and went to see if Alliana was ready. "Our client is here; are you ready?" I asked. "Yes, let them in," Alliana affirmed. I nodded, went to the door, and opened it.
My jaw dropped.
