“I’ve been thinking about what you said, Luna. Do you think the reason why they’re looking for Primo is because of what happened with you and Soren?” Marina asked. Primo glared at Marina and Niccolo shot her a look telling her to be quiet. I was shocked by their reactions because I was actually thinking of the same thing. Marina could be on to something here.
“Wait, Marina could be right. Did we ever find out the reason why Soren worked so hard to become your bodyguard? He was trying to come close to you for a different reason. If they were looking for the missing girl, they definitely wouldn’t have stayed here in New York when they were in California when my mother went missing. When I encountered them, I heard the leader ask for Primo or more specifically, they were looking for the Capo.” I told them. Primo and Niccolo looked at each other but neither of th
“Sergiu, this is my daughter, Luna.” She introduced me to her brother. I stepped forward but was immediately stopped by Primo. I looked at him and I could tell he was uncomfortable in the presence of this man. I held his hand and whispered to him that everything will be okay. He slowly lowered his hand and I eventually was allowed to walk closer to my supposed uncle. I offered my hand to him and he took it in his. I thought he was going to shake it but to the surprise of everyone in the room, he kissed the back of my hand. I felt uncomfortable and I quickly drew my hand back.“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” I told him. He smiled at me and he quickly stood straight up, fixing his posture.“The pleasure is all mine. However, this is not the first time we’ve met, am I right, my dear niece?” He said. The way he s
"Ahh, I'm sorry but it is something that I cannot say at the moment. Forgive me, my dear niece." Sergiu, the leader of the Bratva, answered. I could tell that he was purposefully hiding his intentions because he can't trust us yet. Even though he just found out that his sister is still alive, he is a bit wary of me, Primo and Niccolo. It doesn't seem like they know who the Capo of Castelvetrano is. If they knew who Primo was then they'd be very defensive or hostile right now. This doesn't make any sense. How could they not know who Primo is? Could they be playing dumb?"Sergiu, how have you been all these years?" My mother cleared the air with her questions. I wanted to ask more but I'm afraid of biting off more than I can chew. I'll just let my mother run the show for now. It seems to me that she has a lot of catching up to do with her brother."It was terrible for the first few years of you going missing. Mother and father were heartbroken and I had done everything in
"No, brother you misunderstand. I was never taken. The truth is, I willingly chose to run away." My mother admitted. I became defensive all of a sudden. I felt a sudden chill in the air when my mother admitted what she had done. It's not something someone like her brother can accept just easily. Once again, I moved forward and tried to protect my mother. Sergiu looked down and was quiet for a while. I was waiting for a reaction from him, something that can tell me what his true colors are. After a few moments, he looked up and an eerie smile formed on his face. It sent a shiver down my spine and I could tell that Niccolo and Primo both had their guard up. There was this intense, suffocating tension in the air. I put my hand on my mother but she pushed it away and she moved closer to her brother. I don't think she knows what's happening. She was looking down while walking forward, I'm sure she's probably thinking that her brother is just going to forgive her since it's been so long b
I knew he was a psycho but I didn't know it was to this extent. On our way back, we noticed we were being followed. Of course since this was the Genovese territory, it was no problem for Dino to lose them. We managed to get to Primo's mansion without anybody tailing us. We all got in and the moment we knew we were safe, I slumped down on the sofa and Marina followed suit."Now will you guys tell me what happened?" Marina asked. I looked at her and I rested my head on her shoulder. I don't even know where to begin, everything happened so fast and none of it made sense. One thing is for sure though, this won't be the last time we'll be hearing from those guys.
"Our dearest uncle has it out for our mother. He tried to hurt her and he even pretended to act all brotherly towards her. I didn't buy into his facade the moment we stepped into that restaurant." I told Marina. She looked over at our mother and noticed the mark on her neck. I saw a hint of anger in her eyes but she quickly softened her expression. It was a good thing that Marina stayed in the car. She would've acted rashly if she saw what happened. Marina is sometimes a bit too trusting towarda people. Show her a little bit of kindness and she immediately puts her trust in you. If Marina had seen how kind Sergiu pretended to be, she would've been fooled. In any case, I'm just glad that we managed to leave that place unscathed."For now, we need to get your mother to safety. We can arrange a flight back to California for her. She'll be safer there." Niccolo suggested. I agreed with him and so did Primo but I had a feeling that something might go wrong. My gut was telling me to
I had suspected that my uncle would probably do something when my mother makes her way back to California. I asked Niccolo and Primo if they were willing to lose a plane because if my hunch is correct, Sergiu will be targeting a plane cause he knows my mother will need to be sent away for her safety. There was a weird obsession he had with his own sister and maybe because of her disappearance, there was no way for him to continue with whatever he was doing to my mother. He could have abused her physically when they were children. It’s something my mother is reluctant to talk about but I can tell that something happened for her to be swayed by my father. I know the whole story and I believe that my mother’s decision was for the best.“Are you sure about this, Luna?” Niccolo asked me again while we made the preparations. I nodded and reassured him that I had a feeling that Sergi
“How are you so sure that they’ll be monitoring the flights? And even if that’s the case, won’t it be easier for us to let mother travel by car? It’ll take longer but won’t it be safer?” Marina asked. I had thought about that possibility before and I asked myself the same question however, after reading about the Bratva from the intel I asked for, I found out about something.“I understand your concern, Marina however, I found out that the Bratva had been stationing their guards by the borders of the state. As of the moment, they have eyes on every entrance and exit to the state, I have no idea why they did that and I don’t know what their motive is but if they have eyes there, it won’t be as easy to transport mother.” I explained. Marina was shocked to hear of that piece of information. Good thing, Primo and Niccolo backed me up on th
The following day, we prepared for the plan to be executed. Marina managed to disguise our mother well. She almost looks unrecognizable even for us. Beforehand, we informed Salva of the plan and what had happened. He was angry, to say the least but he agreed with the plan. He immediately knew that it was me who planned everything and he just laughed and told me that it was very predictable. My brother knows me so well but I’m glad he does. It saves me the trouble of convincing him otherwise.“Are you ready, mother?” I asked her. She nodded and looked at herself one more time in the mirror. She said she could barely recognize herself. She looked like a different person. After she was ready, we met with the female pilot that Primo told us about. She was a bit younger than I had expected and something inside me didn’t sit well. Maybe I was being paranoid but I kinda felt jealous
