So they had anauction where people could place bids on expensive things and then themoney would go to the orphanage.Alessandro´s father had bought a painting that his mother liked and forhimself he had bid on a golden wrist watch.

Her brother, Alessandro, was the head of the family and the Donof their mafia organization. He was always overprotective of his little sisterand wouldn't let her do anything that he deemed dangerous.Alexa had always chafed under her brother's strict rules. She wanted togo out and party like any other girl her age, but Alessandro wouldn't allowit. He was afraid that something might happen to her, and he couldn't bearthe thought of losing his little sister too.But Alexa was determined to have some fun. She had been planning anight out with her friends for weeks, and she wasn't going to let herbrother's overprotectiveness get in the way. So, she decided to sneak outbehind his back.It wasn't easy.

Daniella and Amy had been best friends since childhood. They grewup in the same neighborhood and had attended the same schools fromkindergarten to high school. They had always been inseparable and sharedeverything from clothes to secrets, except Daniella´s biggest family secretof her feather being an Italian Don!They were both excited and nervous about starting their first year at anew University in Italy where they would be studying to become doctors.They had spent the summer preparing for their move to campus. Butwhen they came there they were told to find somewhere off campusgrounds since they were rebuilding part of campus through which somerooms were now unavailable at the moment. So they had researched thebest neighborhoods to live in, the best restaurants to try, and the best placesto explore who were close to university.But eventually they settled for a small but affordable apartment in anot so safe neighborhood but for now this the what they could affordfinance
Don Alessandro had been the leader of the Italian mafia for years, andhe knew that he needed to expand his reach if he wanted to stay on top. Hehad been working on making deals with smaller mafia groups, but it wasproving to be more difficult than he had anticipated.Most of the heads of the families were loyal to him and so was theirfamily and they had some level of respect for him but there were a few thatproved to be more difficult when it came to being loyal to him and that wassomething that he wanted to change since loyalty was something extremelyimportant to him! So whoever was not loyal or betrayed him in that matter,well, let's say that person would wish he or she had never been born!!.....As he sat in his office, surrounded by his closest advisors, DonAlessandro tried to come up with a plan. He knew that he needed to makenew alliances if he wanted to maintain his power, but he also knew thatthere were risks involved.The first group he had approached had been hesi
Amy and Daniella had just returned home from their weekly groceryshopping trip. They were happy that they gas the shops nearby so they didnot have to go further away from their place to go get some decent foodsand whatnot.As they walked towards their apartment, they noticed that somethingwas off. The usually quiet hallway seemed to be bustling with activity, andas they got closer, they realized that the commotion was coming from theirneighbor's apartment.As they walked closer, they saw that the door to their neighbor'sapartment had been broken open. The lock was shattered, and the door hungoff its hinges. The two women looked at each other, worried about whatthey might find inside.They cautiously stepped into the apartment, calling out their neighbor'snames. There was no answer. The living room was in disarray, withfurniture overturned and drawers pulled out. The TV had been taken off itsstand and was lying on the floor, its screen cracked.The kitchen was no better. Th
Daniella had been searching on and off for a job for some weeks now,since it was Amy who paid for the whole lot currently, but it seemed likeevery door was being slammed shut in her face. It was frustrating, to say theleast. She had a decent college degree and was now in medical school soshe thought it would be easy to get a job since she was a smart girl, or soshe thought but it seemed like that wasn’t enough to land her even a basicdecent job! to her utter dismay.She and Amy have been sharing this apartment for some months now,and they initially set up a plan to split the rent and bills evenly. Amy, whobrought in the most cash of help from her family, said she would pay up thefirst couple of weeks until Daniella had found a job.She had found one before, a part-time job at a coffee shop, but the paywas barely enough to cover her share of the rent, let alone anything else soshe had not even bothered to fill in the application online and had searchedon.Daniella knew she
Alessandro sat at his desk, his eyes glued to the map of his territory.He had spent years building up his empire, and he wasn't about to letanyone threaten it. His second in command, Danny, had just walked in withsome news that would make any mafia boss see red."Boss," Danny said, his voice low and urgent. "We've got a problem."Alessandro looked up, his eyes narrowing. "What kind of problem?""One of the rival family's sons is operating in our territory," Dannysaid. "He's been sneaking around, trying to set up shop."Alessandro's blood boiled at the audacity of the rival family. How darethey try to encroach on his territory? He had worked too hard to build up hisempire, and he wasn't about to let some upstart come in and take it awayfrom him."Find out everything you can about this guy," Alessandro said, hisvoice cold and dangerous. "I want to know his every move."Danny nodded, his expression serious. "Consider it done, boss."Alessandro leaned back in his chair, his mind r
¨Sir, my house is over there, could you help me bring him insideplease, i'll take off the rest!¨ Daniella asked the nervous looking taxi driverwhile she looked on to the stranger who was still lying unconscious with hisface in her lap.As the taxi stopped the man quickly looked around him and helpedcarry Alesandro inside her apartment where she they lay him on her sofa.¨Miss, please i have to go! I don't want any trouble!¨ The driver saidstill uneasy.¨Here to take this and thanks for helping me sir, have a good night!¨Daniella said after giving him some money on his way out.She ran back and grabbed her first aid bag and started to cut open thestranger's shirt.The blood loss had slowed down a bit but was not stopped completelyso she grabbed some tools and put them in her water boiler to sterilize andwhen it was done she removed them and started to look for the bullet orbullets as she did not know how much he was hit.When she pried his wound a bit further open the strange
