Florina knocked on the door and entered when she heard faint 'come in'.

As she get in she saw Catherine smoking and drinking.

"Florina, come sit my dear..."

She said crushing the cigarette in the ashtray.

"Don't mind me, taking care of four children becomes hectic sometimes..."

"I want some answers..."

Florina said sitting down.

"What do you want to know?..."

She held a glass of scotch in front of her but Florina denied, this wasn't a right time to get drunk.

"Everything... I want to know everything..."

"Very well then..."

Catherine placed the glass and looked at her.

"I think it's a right time and you should know about the men you are staying with..."

Florina prepared herself for whatever was coming.

"Who was there father?..."

"Luciano Moretti, Italian mob boss. I met him in the whorehouse, my wasted father sold me for the money. Luciano saw me and was smitten by my beauty, before someone else could touch me he took me to his house and claimed me as his. I wasn't complaining, even if he was a criminal he was loving me. The love I never got from my family. Luciano wanted to marry me but his father was against it saying 'you can't marry a girl you brought from a whorehouse'. Under his father's pressure Luciano married a another girl who was daughter of some American mafia clan but still he didn't let me go. He kept me as his mistress against my will."

"Why didn't you try to escape then?"
