[ Aitana ]The evenings soon rolled on so the glitzy event called Annual Christmas Feast of the De Niros.To say it was just a feast, would be an understatement. It reminded me of those royal dinners I attended with my father at many famous royal families of Europe.I spotted members of both allies and enemies mafia families of De Niros.I wondered what was the need of inviting death om door step but then I recalled my fucking Uncle Robert's words 'Keep friends close but enemies closer'.Diago,the Spanish mafia and Alfred,the English stole their gaze from me.In mafia,you can't trust your own shadow let alone the other monsters in the same space."Aitana..."My whole body posture stiffened when I heard the same soft voice.Destiny!I acted like I didn't hear her and continued reading the deadly personalities, many of them were the best assassins in the whole mafia existence."Aitana, I know you're hurt but you should listen to what I've to say." Her voice reflected desperation and vulner
[ Aitana ]The dining tables looked extra packed with the people, who were engaged in their low whispers, giving me mixed stares as I walked through tables in the search of Alessandro.The speech by the Capo was yet to be made. His table was arranged on a high podium with two more chairs, one for his regina and other for god knows whom.Curiosity was seeping it's way through my over active brain which was working on a milliseconds speed.I had to act fast but wisely because one wrong step.Finally, I spotted my devilishly handsome husband perfectly dressed in a indigo blue suit with a bow tie while most of the men wore black, brown or grey suits. Lilliana and Lorenzo were seated on the same table, well that's a relief. His mood seemed screwed up,his anger was literally tangible."You're stealing the evening, il mio cuore. "Lilliana gleamed, her eyes scanned me with pride floating into them."And it earned you the half female population as new enemies."I added quickly which caused her to
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"Aless, there's something you should know before we take another step."Said a very anxious Aitana.I stopped in my tracks and craned my neck to look at her,whose eyes were fixed on Stefano who already stepped on the podium and the guests rising in his respect."Let this charade over first."I whispered in her ear as it was also our que to pay our respect.She nodded her head and looked forward again.I didn't had to tell Aitana about Edward's sick intentions of winning her as the ultimate price in the web conspiracy.I hate to admit but, I could see no room of escaping from this deceptive whirlpool, in which we were trapped from all sides.Behind Stefano, Destiny stepped on with the help of his right hand man Leonardo but the third who followed them was a shock for me and my parents.Vincent!!"Why is Vincent with the Capo on his table?"My mother gasped in the equal shock."I am wondering myself Mama.Your elder son always brings surprises for us and most of them a
[ Alessandro De Niro ]The De Niro estate hospital's hall was as silent as a graveyard at midnight.If you drop a pin, it'd echo in the air.All the faces present in the same space had fear and anxiety gracing their expressions.In circumstances like this, who would dare to go and check upon a wounded lion, the Capo.Destiny had been operated by the best surgeons and doctors' team whom De Niro men abducted from their hospitals and clinics in a very short notice as we couldn't shift her to a public hospital due to the security.Speaking of my once upon a time best friend and my first love, my heart bled for her and her unborn child whose life were hanging on loose cord."Zio Aless..." Tiny hands wrapped around my legs brought my attention down at the sweet angles whose eyes were filled with tears and lips wobbling.My heart constricted seeing their innocent faces."Adrienna...Stef..mio angoli. "I bent down to their level and gathered them into my arms,getting the emotional warmth, they b
[ Aitana ]"You're actually going to do this all on your own?"I gauged at Alessandro for his reaction on my question."Yes, I do and we have exactly four hours to reach for the snake's tail.I have my own doubts but all the points are indicating at either Luciano or Edward."He said playing with his wedding band.I could feel multiple stares at me as I was the only women sitting in the circle of men trying to contribute in the last minute mission that my husband took upon him to prove his loyalty and commotion to his brother and family."We're not sure if it's Luciano and Edward, it could be your friend Nicholai Starcov, after all our Capo was going to raid on his biggest godown in the Latvia."Said Marcus in a sharp tone.I was desperate to claw his beautiful sky blue eyes out of their sockets."Nicholai is not a man with balls, I can assure you of his non involvement in this attack."Adam said in Alessandro's defense,"No outsider could enter in the party with a weapon and Nicholai certa
[ Aitana ]"It's Luciano's doing, our spies caught him sending a messanger to Edward thirty minutes after the announcement. "Adam said,"Our plan worked, Aitana.""Il motocicletta." Alessandro punched the car bonnet,"This old whore will breathe his last tonight.He overstepped his limits by hurting the family."(The motherfucker)"Aless...please save your anger for the better."I rubbed his back."What is going to be our next step, sorello?" Vincent asked."The rat is desperate to polish his failed scheme. Now we have to catch the messanger and rest will be easier for us."I told them my crude plan."And how exactly we're going to catch his messanger. I again beg for your pardon Mrs. De Niro but Italian mafia doesn't work in broad daylight if it comes to deliver secret informations and other history changing missions."Marcus scoffed.Alessandro was about to pull out his gun but I slapped his hand down and faced Marcus. I was tolerating his shit for the De Niro family's sake."Your pardon
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"Everything all set?"I looked over the best team of De Niros who were lined up in a row. I tossed my jacket on the table and rolled up my sleeves up my elbows."This place is giving me haunting vibes and this stench."Aitana scrunched up her nose as the cold, dark and rusty cells and the smell of death lingered in the howling air.It wasn't cleaned in ages, the visible amount of blood seeped and dried on the rough concrete floor filled our nostrils as soon as we stepped inside.Cobwebs decorated the ceiling and corners. It was a nausated sight, last time I visited this warehouse when I was seventeen, my father forced me and Vincent to see how they punish a betrayer, liar or thief who dared to cross paths with us."Where is the bastard?"I asked while I picked my favorite tool to give innovative torture.It's been a very long time since I used extreme methods with my prey."In the north cell."One of the men told."You wanna join us?"I gave a side glance to Aitana, w
[ Alessandro De Niro ]Old tales says death waits for no man.But it doesn't suit our working style.Death do wait for until we want it to embrace the desired person.And today, it's Luciano Trochelli who would be sent with the angles of death.The estate was wrapped in the ghostly silence of dark when we returned. There was no news heard from the hospital on Destiny's health status."How are we going to present the evidence to your brother?"Aitana asked as no one dared to knock at the closed metal doors of basement."Alessandro showed chivalry once, he can do it twice."Adam wasted no time in pushing me ahead."Yes pussies, I'd do it."I rolled my eyes on their cowardice,they all knew, Stefano wouldn't kill us at once.I proved it a few hours ago."Aless, be careful hmm."Aitana squeezed my shoulder."Please take some rest, I can see tiredness taking over you and I do not want any objections on this."I said to her in a stern voice so she wouldn't argue.By her expressions, I could tell tha
