Ten minutes past already since the robbers entered the Mist. They lined al of us up and collected our phones. I had my burner phone with me and through it in the bag. Angela stood across from me with little one in her arms. Little one hid his face in her neck crying that he wants his papa. Everyone's looked down crying softly to them self, being scared to death of being killed. I looked at Angela and none of this affected her in anyway.She wasn't scared as the rest of the people. Angela is serrounded by danger.She lives a dangerous live, and this is nothing compared to when you go to war."Sir, we have a problem." One of the men said looking over at Angela and little one.The one who was charge, grabbed the men's arm and walked further away from everyone but stood a few feet away from me. "Sir, that is Octavious Russo's mother and son. All of us will be dead the second we step out of here." I heard the men wispering in their naitive language to the leader."We should let them go sir b
Lucas was following me towards my car asking question after question not getting any response from me. Lucas looked down, not paying attention where he was walking and bumped into me. “Sophia why did you stop walking?” Lucas asked, rubbing his forehead.“Shoot the glass Lucas.” I said, stepping to the side, nodding towards my car.“What…….why?” Lucas asked, sounding confused.“I know you have a gun on you, shoot the glass.It’s tinted glass, I can’t break it without drawing attention to us because they are going to wonder how I did it , because even a gun can’t break it. So shoot at it and then I will break it further. ”I said, stepping in front of him.“Sophia, I ca………”Lucas was cut off by the sound of glass breaking. He looked at Sophia , and her eyes quickly went black and then back to normal again. “Khaalida.” Lucas said in a soft voice to himself.“Sophia, you’re bleeding.” Lucas said, looking down at my hand.Looking down at my hand, little pieces of glass were stuck, while blo
Before entering the Mist, I looked at everyone. My men knew what is about to happen when we step into the Mist but all these other people are innocent. I may be heartless and a cold hearted person but I don’t hurt the innocent or want them to get hurt. These ain’t bulletproof glasses and as soon as bullets start to go off in the bank the glass will break and these people will end up getting hurt and I don’t want that to happen.Walking back to the Russo brother’s to speak with a specific person.“Could I speak with you for a minute?” I said in a toneless voice looking at Octavious.I don’t know if I’m seeing stuff but I just saw a little sparkle in his eyes when I just said that but he quickly covered it with that cold stare of his.We moved a few centimetres away from his brothers and my little brother.“I need you to get these people away from here.” I said looking at his chest.He said nothing and I was about to walk away.“When talking to me, look at me........Now say that again.” O
Seeing Sophia laying there in a pool of her own blood, everything just started to slowly fade out. Lucas screaming next to me for her to wake up, to not give up. Ever since the day Leo introduced Lucas to us, I knew that one day I will meet Sophia again and that day finally came. Getting to know Lucas the past 3 years, made me miss Alessandro. The last time I saw Sophia was at Alessandro funeral. Alessandro and I have been best friends since university ,so the Italian and Russian mafia made an agreement that they will be alice. I met Sophia a few times when I was with her brother and to be honest she became the first woman I had feelings for or you could say fell in love with but at the time she was 17 and I 25 years old. I knew that nothing could ever happen between me and Sophia because she was my best friends' little sister. I knew that it was wrong from my side and illegal but you can’t choose who to fall in love with. So I waited for her to turn 20 years old to see if there coul
“Sophia.” I heard someone next to me, not sure who the voice belonged to.I was weak and felt numb because of the amount of blood I’ve lost. I was tired and all I wanted to do was close my eyes and let the tiredness take over but everytime I close them someone shakes me and yells at me to not close them. They were slightly open seeing how a bright light passed by quickly and people crying, pleading for me to stay awake. Not knowing where I was, I looked to my side and saw Lucas on my left crying and Alexander on my left. Seeing Alexander I knew that I was in the hospital. Trying to stay awake but all my eyes wanted to do was close. Giving up, I let the tiredness take over and close my eyes.“No….Sophia. Stay awake.” Was the last thing I heard before I let the darkness take over.=========“Where am I?” I said to myself looking around. There was nothing, it was just all white. “Lucas….Alex!” I called out not knowing where I was.I started running trying to find out. Giving up I fell t
For the past two day's I was in the hospital because the doctors wanted too keep an eye on me to monitor me to see if I will have any complications after the surgery but right now I was on my way to the Russo Estate. Dr.Morreti said that it will take about a week or two for me to recover depends on how I take care of my myself by not moving too much , eating right and taking the medication prescribed to help decrease swelling, pain and fever. They wanted to keep me longer but I refused to stay any longer. So Angela offered to look after me because that was the least she could do for someone who risked their live to save her and her grandson. I told her that it wasn't necessary for her to do that, I would be able to look after myself but then she argued back saying if I look after myself I will have too move and that will cause my wound to open, then I will have to come back to the hospital, or it wil get infected, or I would be in pain and no one would be there to help me, she just sa
It's been 3 day's since I came to live with the Russo's and to be honest it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It has also been a week since I saw little Marcus, that's why today I have a play date with little Marcus and little one.I wasn't going to do it because of all the documents and files I need to go through, clients I have to call,documents that needed my attention that I need to approve of and check on the shipments going to Russia but how could I say no to my little nephew. Walking down stairs, I went to the kitchen where Angela was busy making breakfast. "Good morning Angela." I said sitting down on one of the chairs behind the island."Good morning dear, how did you sleep?" Angela asked turning around, wiping her hands on her apron."Good.....better then the last two day's." I said giving her a small smile.The past two day's I have either, woke up in the middle of the night and then I couldn't go back to sleep, or the pain would keep me up or I couldn't fall asleep
Right now we were having dinner. It was was 7 o'clock and almost little one's bedtime. Octavious had this routine for him ,when to wake up, when to go to sleep, when it was screen time, so that he can learn from a young age to respect what his father tell him but today Octavious made an exception for him to watch television whenever he wants because of the play date we had.Little one was in the living room watching cartoons while I was setting the table. "Nonna, ho fame." (Grandma I'm hungry)"Abbiamo quasi finito, Elijah, mancano solo pochi minuti." (It's almost done Elijah, just a few minutes.) Angela said laughing from the kitchen."Elijah, potresti andare a chiamare Leo e Lucas e dire loro di scendere, la cena è pronta." (Elijah would you go call Leo and Lucas and tell them to come down, dinner is ready.) Angela said walking into the living room."Sophia would you help me with plating dinner." Angela said walking back to the kitchen.Helping Angela with plating dinner for everyon
