Pedro sat in one of the rooms above with his eyes fixed on the computer. The room was bright with a light penetrating from the open window. The walls have been painted cream. The bed was covered in white and gold linens, so were the pillows. The fluffy white carpet where he rested his feet.
A glass of wine was placed on the side table near the black couch he was sitting on.
From his change of expression, one would know he was having a good time. Soon the door opened and a tired-looking Zane walked in and slammed the door shut.
“Hey, boss… didn't know you can…he-he, I just told the lady you already landed,” Zane said with a chuckle. He was clueless if Pedro would show up at the den. However, he didn't expect the man to show up.
“And Luciano is busy looking for you… after the stunt, you pulled… I'm sure that Antonia will start thinking the evil Ramirez mafia child is alive,” Zane added and poured himself some strong whiskey. He was in the mood to drink something strong. Sitting on the couch with crossed legs. Zane fixed his eyes on the mafia man dressed in black clothes. He had a serious expression on. As if the work he was doing was hard or something.
“Boss… did you hear what I said?” Zane frowned, seeing how Pedro was treating him like air. The man was rather cold and in his bossy mafia mood.
“Do you need anything…” Pedro asked without even looking at Zane. Zane was stunned, here she was trying to give him an important piece of information concerning the Garcias and here he was ignoring him.
“You have installed cameras in her room?” Zane asked, stretching himself to see what Pedro was looking at with so much amusement plastered on his face.
“Do I need to explain myself to you… go and do your job. I don't want my woman to get hurt,” Pedro said with a deadly glare. Zane saw anger in Pedro's eyes and knew the man was not happy.
“You know while you are here… The decisions don't matter. Jordan has the upper hand… Olivia agreed to this…just sit back, relax and stay out of this,” Zane said, feeling irritated with Pedro. If he wanted to save his woman, then he would have done a great job making her stay away from the mafia. Or better yet, took revenge on her behalf instead of letting her do it.
“Scram!” Pedro yelled for Zane to leave his presence…he was already in a bad mood, and anyone saying anything to him pissed him off even more.
Zane didn't bother staying but took his glass of whiskey and left the room. He just hoped Pedro controlled himself.

When Olivia had taken a cold shower, a woman with orange hair didn't say much, but told her to follow her. Soon they reached a dark room. Olivia wondered why it was so dark and all. Inside the large room stood four people.
“So…as we are told…someone wants to be one of us…he-he the boss's lady, “the same man from before said. Soon, Jordan emerged from the shadows. He had changed his clothes. He was wearing black leather pants, a black vest and black boots. His hair was rather wet and messy in a hot way.
"I wonder who she is…what's so special about her for the boss to like her, ” this time a girl with white hair said. As she walked closer to her. She was the same girl she saw earlier. Up close, she was scary looking with a straight, unreadable face.
“Whatever it is. I don't care, let's get this over with” another male said. This one had short hair with a scar on his forehead. Well-built with toned muscles everywhere. He was wearing the same clothes as Jordan. Both men had their distinct traits. Jordan looked a little more intimidating than.
“Enough Luke… I'm sure the lady is capable…she seems tough…just look at her, “Jordan said as he walked around Olivia, scanning her. Olivia didn't like the way the three people were looking at her as if she were nothing. The white-haired girl had a disdainful scoff on her face.
“I'm Olivia, nice to meet you,” Olivia said politely. She didn't know what she would be doing, hence she decided to give a good first impression.
“Save the greetings… You have five stages, baby girl, the first one tests how smart you are. The second one is quite interesting… The third he-he let's just say you'll see,” Jordan said as he stopped in front of her, Olivia didn't like any of them one bit. The dangerous auras radiating from them frightened her.
“She's pathetic. I wonder why the boss chose her… she's nothing like us,” the white-haired girl named Quinn said, glaring at Olivia. All this was something Olivia didn't expect.
“Then let's get to work… I don't have all day… fucking close the doors and let's see how she escapes,” this time it was the man named Luke who said while walking away, Olivia didn't understand what they meant by close the doors.
“Beams on,“ Jordan said, and he too retreated away, followed by the girl. By now, the three people had reached the door, leaving Olivia standing in the middle. Soon the door shut with a loud bang, startling her.
“What's going on?” she muttered, narrowing her eyes as she scanned the place…it was just an empty room. So, what were they talking about… soon Olivia was startled when she heard cracking noises of the room closing in, shortly, she saw blades coming out from the walls. Olivia felt her head-spinning, seeing how the walls were closing in on her with sharp blades penetrating from the walls directed at her.
What was this?
***
“This is madness…since when did this room exist? I thought it was for criminals” it was Zane who asked as soon as he rushed to the control room. Jordan, Luke, and Quinn were the elite people who carried out any mafia training.
“Since when does this involve you” it was Luke who said sarcastically and fixed his eyes on the screens. The lady was standing in the middle without moving, Zane swallowed hard, knowing full well this was the cruelest thing people would do.
“This is madness. What happened to heavy training, not this!” Zane was angry, he didn't expect Jordan to be so cruel. The room was meant for those people who betrayed the gang. Any man or woman who conspired against the mafia members was thrown in the very same room. It had all kinds of tricks, the blade thing was just another one. If Olivia didn't figure out how to stop the walls and ceiling from closing in on her, then she would die a horrible death.
“It's a simple task Zane…she said she's capable didn't she” came the another female voice, the three glanced over their shoulders. Hannah cat-walked in with a huge smile plastered on her face
“Welcome, I thought you would miss this” it was Quinn said with a smirk, knowing full well the fourth member had joined. Zane knew Hannah was also part of the team. However, she specialized in combat, the In the fourth stage, Olivia had to fight not just the scariest men but Hannah too,
“Let's see how she dies, “Hannah said with a smile and pressed a single button. Soon, Olivia's room, Olivia, was dark. Sweat broke on Zane's forehead.
