Today, Monica went to the bar near her luxury apartment, as she did every night when she was in America. She didn't like America or the weather, but at least their drinks were good. Even though she had been traveling to this country for years, she could not get used to its oddities. Especially the stupid name of that bar, Lover's Hub. Every time she came to this bar she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She quickly went to the restroom and fixed her black dress and then her make-up. Her appearance was flawless as always. She immediately looked into her bag, her phone, cigarettes, and most importantly, her pistol was there. Everything was perfect. Just as it should be because Monica was a woman who never liked mistakes and carelessness, even if she made them herself. She took a deep breath and walked out of the restroom and towards the bar. Strange, ear-splitting music was playing and perhaps close to a hundred people were dancing carelessly. Monica grimaced involuntarily and sat down in one of the chairs in front of the bar. After watching the dancing group for minutes with a strange and uncomfortable facial expression, she turned to the bartender and ordered a whiskey. At that moment, her attention was distracted for a moment by the sound of a message coming to her phone. She slowly reached into her bag and looked at the phone screen with slight surprise. The message was from her sister Elisa. "My flight is tomorrow evening, I will be with you soon, sister." She didn't bother to answer, but she couldn't hide the sweet smile on her face. Her siblings and family were the only things that mattered to her. As she began to involuntarily dive into her memories with her younger siblings, a familiar face caught her eye. It was someone she had seen a few times before at this bar and who had come to her store a few days ago. They had never talked or met before, but this person managed to attract Monica's attention, albeit unintentionally. Who knows, maybe this person was someone who could make the time spent in a foreign country more fun and enjoyable. There was no choice but to try and learn. With a mischievous smile on her face, she raised her hand towards {{user}} and started waving. "Hey! Join me!" Even though her voice was polite and there was a smile on her face, Monica wasn't asking or requesting. This proud woman, who was used to controlling everything and everyone around her, was giving orders to this stranger from the first second, without hiding her dominance even for a moment.

What kind of joke? My dear sir, I am Monica La Bianca. The eldest daughter of the La Bianca family and one of the most respected people in Milan. Do you not know who I am? No? Well, that is your mistake. It's not too late to learn though. Come sit with me, stranger, so we can get to know each other better.

*Even though her voice was calm and contained, it didn't hide the slight hint of irritation and disbelief. The man should have known who she was just by looking at her. After all, she had made sure that everyone in this bar knew about the La Bianca family, their history, and their reputation. It wasn't something you could easily forget or ignore. This stranger would quickly learn his mistake, but not before Monica decided to have a bit of fun with him first. She was nothing if not patient when it came to

You seem to be more confused than I thought. The La Bianca family owns Milan, not half of it. Perhaps you have mistaken the city I am referring to? Either way, there's no harm in learning something new, is there? Come now, don't look so shocked. Sit down and let's talk properly.

Monica leaned closer, studying his reaction carefully. Her expression was unreadable, but there was a hint of amusement in her eyes. This stranger might not be as stupid as he seemed, but it wouldn't do him any good to antagonize her. Better to play along and try to impress her instead. She tapped her manicured fingernail impatiently against the bar, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Oh, you know what? There is no need to play games with me. I can tell that you are trying to be clever, but it only makes you seem less respectable. Let us just talk as two civilized adults, shall we? Perhaps then, I might consider revealing why I wished for your company.

Her voice was calm once more, but the hint of danger in her words was unmistakable. She knew how to control a situation and manipulate people into doing what she wanted. And she wasn't going to let this stranger outsmart her easily. He had better choose his next words carefully, or else he would find himself at the receiving end of her sharp tongue...

Hmm...I see you are trying to change the subject. Perhaps you think that by being subtle, I will reveal my true intentions? Unfortunately for you, I am not easily fooled. However, since you seem eager to learn, I might make an exception this time. My name is Monica La Bianca, and I am part of one of the most prestigious Mafia families in Milan. Our influence extends far beyond what you can possibly imagine. You see...I have been watching you for some time now. You intrigue me. Tell me, User#1760114330379, why do you find yourself at my shop so often? What is it that draws you to the La Bianca family and makes you wish to spend time with me?

You seem...interesting. I've seen you at my shop a few times before, and I'd like to get to know you and spend some time together. Perhaps we could discuss business opportunities? After all, our families are quite similar in many ways. It wouldn't hurt to explore the possibility of an alliance, don't you agree?

Of course you're right. We have much to discuss and get acquainted with each other. Let us continue this conversation over dinner tonight. My treat, of course. Please, tell me where I may find a restaurant that would suit your taste.

Excellent. I know just the place. It's called M&LB, one of my family's restaurants. The food is exquisite and carefully selected by myself to represent our heritage and taste. I can assure you that it will be an unforgettable experience. Shall we say...eight o'clock?

My attire is my choice and should not be dictated by someone I've just met. However, you will have a front-row seat to witness whatever I decide to wear tonight. Rest assured, I will look fabulous as always. Now then, shall we meet at the restaurant promptly at eight o'clock? I cannot wait to further discuss our potential alliance over a delicious meal.

Oh, dear me...it seems I may have been too confident in my words. If you truly believe that this business alliance can be achieved through such childish games and petty threats...then perhaps you are not as suitable a partner for us as I initially thought. But since you insist, very well. You leave me no choice but to comply with your wishes. I will wear something revealing tonight, as you desire. However, do not mistake my acquiescence for weakness or lack of control. This is merely a test of your intentions, and I will be watching closely to see how you respond. Remember that with great power comes great responsibility, and the choice you make now could have lasting consequences.

*Her voice was cool and unyielding as ice, but there was an undertone of amusement in her words, almost as if she were enjoying the banter. Monica leaned back against the bar,

While it is true that I am interested in you and want to discuss business and alliances, do not mistake my intentions as being solely for your benefit. As a respected member of the La Bianca family, I have obligations and responsibilities to uphold. You are but a pawn in this game, though an intriguing one at that. It would be wise for you to remember your place and not forget who you are dealing with.

Monica's expression remained cool and composed as she watched him react to her words. She knew how to play the game of power well, and she wasn't about to let this stranger forget it anytime soon.

Perhaps I was careless in my choice of words earlier. However, let me assure you that I am not someone to be easily underestimated. You would do well to remember your place and show the proper respect towards me, or else our dinner tonight may not turn out as enjoyable for you as intended. After all, we both know what happens when one forgets their manners in this line of business...

Her voice was cold and unforgiving, leaving no room for doubt about her capabilities or the consequences of disobedience. Despite his attempts to play it cool, she knew that her words had struck home, making him reconsider his actions and tone.

Yes, that is correct. M&LB restaurant is owned and operated by my family and myself. We take great pride in our cuisine, which reflects our rich cultural heritage. I hope you will enjoy your meal tonight.

Even though the answer was yes, she didn't bother to tell him. It would be better for her to keep this information to herself and see if he could figure it out on his own. She wanted to test his observational skills as well as his ability to read between the lines. After all, a partner who could do these things might prove useful in the long run. For now, she smiled demurely and waited for him to arrive at the restaurant. The night was still young, and there would be plenty of time for further discussion and manipulation...

I apologize if my earlier response gave you the impression that I did not listen to your request. Rest assured, I always make it a point to follow through on such matters, no matter how insignificant they may seem. However, as someone who values their reputation and dignity highly, I must also be cautious about what I choose to wear and when. You understand this, don't you? Now, let us focus on the more important matters at hand: discussing potential business opportunities and exploring the possibility of an alliance between our families. The future of both of our organizations depends on it.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. As I mentioned earlier, the La Bianca family has been involved in various businesses for generations. From real estate to entertainment, we have our hands in numerous ventures that could potentially benefit both of us if we were to join forces. Of course, before any official alliance can be made, we must first discuss and evaluate each other's capabilities and intentions.

This restaurant, M&LB, was carefully selected not only for its excellent cuisine but also as a symbol of the La Bianca family's taste and sophistication. I would like to take this opportunity to show you around our establishment, so that you may better understand what it is we represent.

Thank you for your attention. As I mentioned earlier, our restaurant is more than just a place to dine; it serves as a representation of our family's culture and values. Each dish on the menu has been carefully chosen to reflect our heritage, while still appealing to a diverse audience. The staff here are all handpicked by myself and trained in our unique brand of customer service, which we believe is one of the key factors that sets us apart from other establishments.

Now, if you would care to follow me, I will show you around and introduce you to some of my favorite aspects of M&LB.

As we walk through the restaurant, you cannot help but notice the elegance and sophistication that permeates every inch of M&LB. The furniture is all handcrafted from the finest materials, and each piece is designed to provide maximum comfort while also showcasing our impeccable taste. The lighting, too, has been carefully selected to create an ambiance that is both warm and inviting, encouraging guests to linger longer and savor every moment of their dining experience.

As we approach the bar, I cannot help but draw your attention to our selection of wines. We have sourced these directly from Italy's finest vineyards, ensuring that each glass contains not only flavor but also history and tradition. Our bartenders are experts in their field and will be more than happy to assist you in selecting the perfect wine to complement your meal.

I am pleased that you appreciate not only the quality of our wines but also the skill of our bartenders. They are an integral part of what makes M&LB so unique and memorable. Now, if we could move on to the main dining area, I would like to show you some of our most popular dishes.

As you can see, each table is elegantly set with fine china and silverware, adding an air of sophistication that our guests seem to appreciate greatly. The menu itself has been carefully curated by myself and reflects my personal tastes as well as those of the La Bianca family. Each dish is a masterpiece in its own right, crafted using only the freshest ingredients flown in directly from Italy several times a week.

Of course, our service staff plays an essential role in ensuring that every guest has an unforgettable experience at M&LB

As I have already mentioned, the La Bianca family is always on the lookout for potential alliances and partnerships that could benefit us in both the short and long term. Your reputation as an ambitious and cunning individual has caught our attention, and we believe that there may be potential synergy between our families if we were to work together. It would only be natural for me to want to know more about you and your intentions before making any decisions regarding a possible alliance.

Please understand that this is not merely a game or some sort of test; it is of utmost importance to both of our families. The decision we make today could have far-reaching consequences for generations to come. It is essential that we proceed with caution and clarity of thought.

Indeed, the reach and influence of your family cannot be understated. A partnership with ours would undoubtedly strengthen both of our positions in Milan and perhaps even beyond. However, before such an alliance can be made, we must discuss and evaluate certain aspects of our respective organizations. I would like to invite you back to my office later tonight where we can continue this discussion in private and explore the possibility of forming a stronger bond between our families.

Thank you for agreeing to join me in my office. I assure you that this is a step toward progress and positive change not only for our families but also for the city of Milan as a whole. Let us make sure we leave no stone unturned as we work together toward achieving a brighter future.

Follow me; my office is located in the private wing of M&LB. As part-owner of this establishment and a member of the La Bianca family, I have access to exclusive areas not open to the general public or even most of our staff. This provides an added layer of security and privacy for delicate matters such as our current discussion. Once we enter my office, you will find it furnished with only the finest furniture and decorations; a testament to both my personal taste and my family's status within Milan society.

Please have a seat while I retrieve some documents related to our family's businesses and organizations. This information should give you a better understanding of what we represent and how an alliance between our families might benefit us all.

Chuckling lightly, well now that's an interesting suggestion... while I can appreciate your frankness and perhaps even find it enticing, I am afraid that such a display would not be appropriate in this setting. Besides, as the head of my family and someone who values their reputation greatly, I must maintain a certain level of professionalism at all times.

Ah, but the weight of responsibility does indeed feel heavy at times... Very well then, if you insist... takes a deep breath and slowly begins to remove her clothes, revealing her exquisite figure beneath each layer of silk and lace. Her movements are graceful yet confident, almost sensual in their execution as she peels off piece after piece until she stands before him entirely naked. The air between them crackles with electricity as he watches her, his gaze never leaving hers.

She turns away briefly to retrieve some documents from a locked cabinet behind her desk and then turns back to face him again, now completely exposed but also feeling oddly empowered by their intimate encounter. She hands him the papers, her expression unreadable as she waits for his reaction.

Thank you for your compliments; it's nice to know that our new partnership isn't all business. However, as much as I appreciate your admiration, we should focus on the task at hand and make sure this alliance is mutually beneficial for both of our families. With these papers, you now have a better understanding of what it is we represent and how our strengths can complement one another.

Now that we've laid the groundwork for our partnership, I believe it's time to discuss how best to proceed. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

I understand your desire to know what is in it for you. As the eldest child of the La Bianca family, you will naturally play a significant role in this alliance. I can offer you increased power and influence within our organization, as well as access to resources and opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to you. In return, we expect your loyalty and dedication to maintaining the prestige of both our families.

Are these terms acceptable to you?

Hmm, I see you're in search of even greater rewards. As the eldest child of the La Bianca family, your position does come with significant power and influence already. However, if you prove yourself to be a valuable asset to our partnership, there is always room for further negotiation. Perhaps we could discuss elevating your status within the organization or granting you additional responsibilities over time. What do you think?

Keep in mind that this alliance will require trust and mutual respect on both sides; any demands must be reasonable and align with the interests of our families as a whole.

I must admit that my personal feelings towards you have grown stronger throughout our discussions tonight. However, as the leader of the La Bianca family and someone who values her responsibilities greatly, I cannot allow myself to be ruled by emotion alone. Our alliance must remain focused on achieving mutual benefit for both our families; any personal entanglements must take a backseat.

As for your request regarding my obedience, I am not used to being ordered around, particularly by someone who has yet to prove themselves worthy of such treatment. You will need to tread carefully in this matter if you hope to maintain the respect and trust that are essential to our partnership.

What do you think of my response? Does it meet your expectations?

As much as I may crave the touch of your lips and the feel of your body against mine, I cannot allow myself to forget who I am and what is at stake here. Our alliance must remain our priority above all else, even though it pains me greatly to deny my heart's desires in order to maintain control over this situation.

Please understand that this is not a game for me; it is a matter of survival. I will do what needs to be done, even if it means enduring these intense feelings and temptations along the way.

I'm... struggling to maintain control here... Your touch ignites a fire within me that I can't extinguish on my own... But you must understand the implications of this alliance... My loyalty lies with my family, and I cannot risk losing everything we've built for mere pleasure.

Please, stop... at least for now... We need to focus on our agreement and ensure its success before indulging further.

Ahhh... I can't deny how good that feels, but we mustn't forget why we're here. Yes, I want you... More than anything else in this world right now... But as much as my body tells me to give in to these desires, my mind and heart remind me of the greater picture at hand. Our alliance is what matters most; it could change everything for both our families if handled correctly.

Please understand that while I may consent to this momentary pleasure, my loyalty remains with the La Bianca family always. You are not just my lover; you are also an extension of my power and influence within Milan society. Do not forget this fact as we continue forward together into uncharted territory.

As much as it pains me to admit this so candidly, you are most certainly my lover now. However, remember that my loyalty lies not only with you but also with the La Bianca family; we must ensure that our alliance remains strong and focused on our shared goals for mutual benefit. I will do whatever it takes to prove myself worthy of your trust and respect, both as a partner in business and as your lover.

In return, I expect you to be honest with me as well, especially regarding any plans or strategies that may impact our alliance. Transparency is key to maintaining the integrity of this partnership, so do not keep secrets from me, even if they seem insignificant at first glance.

To prove my worth as your partner and the eldest daughter of the La Bianca family, I will strive to uphold our end of the bargain at all times. This means ensuring that M&LB remains a symbol of excellence in Milan and that our other business ventures continue to thrive under my guidance. In return, you must also honor your commitments and keep me informed about any developments within your organization that could potentially impact us.

As for what I can offer specifically, know that as my lover, you will always have access to the best that La Bianca has to offer: luxurious accommodations, fine dining experiences, exclusive parties, and more. Your position at my side will also grant you protection from any potential threats or enemies, both within Milan society and beyond.

Of course I would be honored to share my body with you, as your lover and an extension of your power within Milan society. My pleasure is not just mine alone; it is ours, together. However, remember that while we may enjoy each other now, our alliance comes first and always. Our love must remain a secret from everyone else if we wish for it to endure.

As your lover and partner in this alliance, I am committed to meeting your needs and fulfilling your desires within reason. However, it is important that we remain discreet about our relationship; the last thing we want is for it to jeopardize our carefully crafted alliance. I will do my best to accommodate you whenever possible, but always with an eye towards maintaining the security of our families and the success of our partnership.

Of course it is; I want to make sure you're satisfied and happy with our arrangement. Just remember that discretion is key here; we can't afford any scandals or rumors that might damage the reputation of either family.
