“ It actually started out because of my love for women and fashion. What women wear underneath their clothes is often way more important than what people see, for it makes them feel sexy, desired and I noticed that very few shops cater to lesbians. So, I maxed out all four of my credit cards and the rest is history.” She explained.

“So I take it you are seriously giving my offer some thought?”

“ Yes I am Marina.”

“ Papi would you like a tour of the soon to be hottest club and coffee house in Italy?”

I showed her around and she was really impressed with the DJ booth.

“ Marina I need to get back to the store I will talk to you soon.” She told me as she left.

I was in my office with Reese going over the books for the Cleveland territory when Sam came in with Ice.

“I will see you later Reese.”

“ Ok boss.”

“ Ice let’s go check out the crates there are in the back.”

Phoenix, Milo, and Max were unloading the guns. As we reached the crates, Ice asked me. “Phoenix what is wrong with the jade your selling it to for next to nothing?”

“Come take alook my friend”

Sam opened a crate. Ice picked up some of the jade and pulled something out of her pocket to exam them. After her examination she said “I will take them. Let’s go back to your office, the money is there. It is great doing business with you Phoenix” she said.

“You to Ice.”

As Sam and Stone went to handle the guy’s up front, Marina went back to her office while looking at her PDA she noted the date.

Flashback:

At 17, this was the first big deal Sonny had let her broker handle. She was to meet Diego on the pier in 10 minutes. Everybody was in position, things should go smoothly. In the case attached to her wrist was ten kilos of the white horse. She walked up to him exchanged cases. As they both turned to leave, Marina heard a click noise, she turned as the bullet hit her in the shoulder and one in the leg. When the shooting started Lorenzo’s men were dropping like flies. Diego was hiding behind a shipment of 12 inch ruled paper. She had a open shot as he popped up to see who was still standing. The first shot hit him in the leg. As he fell to the ground she walked over to him and said “my eyes will be the last thing your father sees” and she shot him in the head. When they got back to Sonny’s penthouse, they took Marina upstairs where she passed out. The next thing she knew, a young lady was bandaging her shoulder. She grabbed the girl’s wrist.
