Fiona's POV
Lucas girlfriend is coming over when I heard him say that his girlfriend was having lunch with us all my brothers mirrored my shocked expression apparently his been dating for two months and he thinks she's the one. Since it's a special lunch I decided against wearing what I normally wear at home in stead of wearing sweatpants and sweatshirt I decided to wear I crop top and jeans, I can't wait to see her I never thought Lucas would find love I just thought he would grow old with twenty five cats and die alone but I guess I was wrong. 
Obviously when she gets here I'll just ask for her name and snap a picture and do a quick background check when if she's really a good match for my brother I'll give her a chance maybe.
My phone started ringing I checked the caller ID it's Mark he never calls, I hesitantly answer the call.
Me: Hello
Marcus: I need to see you can, we meet up 
Me: what's wrong, where should we meet
Marcus: can we meet at our usual spot the coffee shop near your house I need to tell you something
Me: okay I'll be there in ten minutes
That he cut the call, I went downstairs I still had an hour and half before the lunch. I reached spot and just ordered muffins for us we never actually buy coffee, I ate half of the muffins still waiting for him, then he finally came. As he sat down still wearing his nose mask I have never seen this guy's face before like it's so annoying but I'm giving him space. He ate the remaining muffins and then we split the bill he finally allowed us to split the bill I always hated when he paid, after paying he gently pulled me to one alleyway, I looked at him tears rolling under his face mask. For the first time he removed his face mask and I was able to see his face I was still in shock what's wrong, what happened, I didn't even know I was crying until he wiped the tears away. I got involved in some bad stuff and I'm too deep to pull out I'm sorry but i can't talk to you or see you anymore; he said, what no, I can help you; I said. No you almost got kidnap, you could have been tortured or worse all because of the kind of work i do I'm just adding more danger to you, with you in my life; he said. I know I can't stop him I really wish I could but once he gets his mind set on something he hardly changes his mind, we just stood there until he was about to leave he turned be back and hugged me and I just cried into his chest when I calm down a little he left.
And that was how I lost my first friend I made after apart from Damien, I walked back to my car I drove home. As I was driving Lucas texted on the family group chat that something came up so she's going to come tomorrow, I arrived home and walked to my room ignoring all the stares and worried looks I got from my brother, I looked at them and saw their mouth moving but I wasn't hearing any words I just went to my room and locked myself in my room, called my secretary to see if there is any work I can do but she said I'm free for two weeks and there is also nothing to report it has been peaceful so far.
I slept and this time I didn't have a nightmare about my horrid past it was about Mark leave, I woke up sweating in the middle of the night I went to drink water downstairs and saw a tired Lucas sipping coffee, does he ever sleep, i drank my water and was going back to my room but then I asked him what he is doing, he said that he was about to go sleep now, I obviously didn't believe him, I said okay let's go together to our rooms we went to my room first more like I was dragged to my room since I wanted him to go to his room first he obviously needed the sleep. We entered my room but he still didn't leave he covered me with a blanket and when I was about to pretend to sleep so he could go and rest he asked why I was crying before then everything flooded back and I started crying again he consoled me, I just told him I think I lost one of my friends and you know I only had three; I said trying to lighten my mood, he told me it's okay and I'll still see my friend again and I haven't lost my friend yet because my friend will come back, if only it were true I closed my eyes actually falling asleep.
Marcus' POV
I called her and told her to meet me at our usual spot it's close to her house meaning my foster Dad will never go near it if he loves his life. I'm going to tell her everything and I'll have to stop talking to her or one of this days he'll find out and she might be put in more harm.
When I arrived at the our spot I couldn't just tell her so after we paid for it I took her into and told her everything I needed to say, I need to keep her safe it's not her fault her brothers are running a mafia, it's not her fault my foster Dad is running a small gang that wants to over throw the American mafia, it's not her fault she's caught in between this but I have to try my best to protect her. 
She may think she knows how to handle herself but she can't survive in the mafia world and I don't even want he to step foot in my world, I don't want her to experience the torture I went through for the past two years until I got on my foster Dad's good side.
Saying goodbye was harder than I thought when i hugged her I didn't want to let go but I had to after her breathing evened out a bit I had to let go or it would have been harder. And I'm happy she won't be left alone or defenseless because her brothers will always love and protect her at least now that I'm leaving I have one less person to keep secrets from.
