"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
A few hours later, I received a call from Salva. He told me that my mother had arrived in California safely and there were no issues regarding her identity and such. He managed to take her home and everything seemed well. I breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing the news from Salva. I hung up the phone and told Primo about what happened. He decided to stay at home for today and he promised to go back to work tomorrow. They still need to investigate the sudden plane crash and he has to find out if the pilot survived or not.“I’m glad your mother made it back to California safely. I’m proud of you for successfully executing your plan.” He said while pulling me close to him and wrapping me in his embrace. I put my head on his shoulder as I felt his arms around me. I missed being this close to him, his scent and his warmth intoxicated me. I longed for my husband and I could tell he
I woke up the following morning without Primo beside me. I had already expected for him to leave for work since he did take the day off yesterday. Apparently, my plan to keep my mother safe had a bad effect for Primo since the Bratva destroyed a plane right in front of the public’s eye. He had to deal with the repercussions and now he’s busier than ever. If I had thought things through then I wouldn’t have given him such heavy responsibilities. I decided to just go down to the dining room to get some breakfast and then plan out what I have to do for the day. I’m thinking of investigating my uncle’s background. I don’t know much about the history of the Bratva but I do know that their blood runs in my veins.“Good morning, sis.” Marina greeted me as I walked into the kitchen. She was making breakfast when I walked in. I greeted her back and I sat down on
“Oh by the way sis, someone came over while you were still asleep. I can’t believe I almost forgot to tell you.” Marina said as we sat down on the couch. We had just finished cleaning up the living room from the mess that we had made previously. Now we were planning on brainstorming some more while waiting for the private investigator that I hired. I thought she met with the private investigator while I was asleep so naturally I asked her a bunch of questions.“Who? Was it a man? Did he say where he went? He didn’t ask to stay?” I asked. Marina was flustered by how fast I was asking questions. She shook her head and told me to calm down. I didn’t realize that I got a bit too uptight about it but I just thought that it was the person I hired and maybe Marina had asked them to come back because I was still asleep.
Marina and I have currently hit a dead end. There was no information on these documents that could lead us to a reason why Sergiu was after the Genovese, specifically he was after the Capo of the Genovese. I think he’s trying to aim for the Capo but why? I can’t seem to see a connection between him and Primo’s family. Marina and I had been brainstorming for a few hours and now we both feel exhausted. We’re so drained that we couldn’t even think straight anymore.“Do you want to get something to eat?” I asked her. Marina had slumped her head down on the table and she refused to move but at the mention of food, she immediately perked up and her attention was on me.“We’re getting food??” She asked excitedly. I giggled at her enthusiasm and I told her that we were. I asked her what she wanted
“Who does she think she is?? You didn’t have to hold back, Luna. You could’ve given her a taste of your fists.” Marina said. I sighed and shook my head. There was a reason why I didn’t respond to her provocations. I knew that there was someone behind her, someone was telling her to come to me and provoke me. Chiara couldn’t have done that out of her own free well. I’ll be honest, Chiara isn’t the brightest when it comes to the mafia. I could tell she was still scared of me. She knew what I was capable of, she saw it with her own eyes. Yet she still had the audacity to come here and insult me.“Relax Marina, I don’t think Chiara did all of that just because she wanted to. I’m guessing someone coerced her into doing it. I have a few clues of who it could be but I’m not that sure yet. It’s better if we don’t react to wha
