Leonardo's pov For the past two weeks now things are a little shaky, there have been so many attacks on us. First, it was Annie, those mother f**kers have the gust to hijack my ship, they attacked my club in Los Angeles, it was soo bad that innocent people were killed in the process. The Andrianos are also into petroleum and someone has the guts to attack their men during a transaction, this is not the doing of Alexander the boss of the Russian mafia, the person behind the attack is binding behind local gangs. The information we've gathered so far proves he hires the locals to do the dirty work for him but he doesn't show his face to them. We have so many enemies that I don't know who is really behind this, but we are certain that all these attacks are not coincidences. I have a business conference and also a meeting to attend in Italy and I am not going to leave Annie behind. I told her about the business meeting and conference but I left the mafia party and also my mission out,
ANNIE'S POVToday is the day of the party and everyone is busy, I've not set my eyes on my brothers or Leonardo since I woke up,.my mum has been dragging me everywhere she went. My protective father has been our bodyguard since morning, he hardly spoke a word to me or my mum but he is doing his bodyguard job solo well. My mum's words, not mine, he opens our doors for us when we are getting out of the car and when we are getting in the car. We have our security team always following us but my God is acting as a driver and a bodyguard which is wired. My mum said he is behaving that way because he doesn't want to risk my safety. She said something bad happened to me when I was a baby and my father still blames himself for what happened that's why he wants to be in charge of my safety. We went to a fancy hotel for our breakfast, I love the company of my parents, even though my dad doesn't talk much, I how protective he is. When we entered the restaurant, everyone was staring at us, I f
Annies pov I left the clubhouse with my parents, and my brothers and Leonardo left for the office. Bella and her Aunt were banned from ever coming to the clubhouse. They didn't have membership cards but they rather came with a friend who is a member, they were allowed into the clubhouse because their friend is also sleeping with the manager who is a married man. My mum fired him as well and his little whore was also banned. My mum called her public relation office to get his team to work, she sent to video of what happened to them. "Annie what do you intend to do to that girl and her family," my mum asked me, you will see. I am proud of you Annie, in this world, you don't have to be soft, you have to prove yourself from today onwards, let the world know you are the true mafia, Princess, you are not someone anyone can mess with. If you create that fear in the mafia world that's the only way you and your man can be at peace, if they see you be weak, you will always be their target. Yo
Annies's pov My mum took my hands in hers while my dad is at the right side of my mum while I have Leonardo at my left followed by my two brothers, these men look like models, we were led by a blond beautiful girl to our table which is not far from the stage where the MC is standing. The MC welcomed our family, "Let's welcome the Andriano and the Dicosta family" He made an announcement, and everyone sited stood up, I don't think that was necessary because our appearance has already spoken for us. The hall became so quiet after the announcements, but the people remain standing till we made ourselves comfortable, before they all got sited. Mum, why is everyone standing? I asked my mum undertone," It is a gesture of respect". She said, when our table was served, an elderly man came along and tasted all the dishes on the table, my Mum saw the confusion on my face. My mum explain to me "Baby it's for security reasons" I just nodded my head. The men at our table hardly spoke a word but m
Annies pov we hide behind a table to block the bullet, I saw my brothers and Leonardo shooting in the direction of the attackers, I brought out my gun from my clutch, and every member of my family was busy shooting except my dad, he was rather protecting me, so when I brought my gun out, I saw relive on her face. I run in a different direction to back vicento up because there are a lot of enemies shooting in his direction, I shot the enemies fearlessly. Because I am not ready to lose any member of my family, the few people left were all hiding. We don't know the situation outside but I have a feeling that the building is surrounded, within 30 minutes our attackers were all on the floor, I raised my head only to see Leonardo aiming a gun in my direction, bang! bang! In a second I wasn't sure what happened, I looked back to see a man in the pool of his blood not far from me. I run to Leonardo and hugged him, I will only regret not spending much time with him and my family, Leonardo di
ANNIE'S POV I woke up to a space beside me, the other side of the bed felt cold as if no one slept on the other side of the bed. I pushed the thought at the back of my mind, I walked to the washroom where I would see Leonardo, I knocked twice without any response so I walked inside, where I took my bath and returned to the bedroom thinking I would meet Leonardo in the room, maybe he is with the boys. I quickly dressed up in a new set of clothes I found on the couch in the room, I guess Leonardo got it for me. I heard voices when I opened my door and I knew it was my parents and the boys so I walked towards the direction where the chat was coming from, I moment I got to the dining room, my legs began to shake on it. " what's wrong with you princesses" my dad rushed to me and sat me on a chair close to his. Where are they? " Are you ok my mum asked" I tried to push back the tears that threatened to come out but I couldn't hold back my tears, the tears began to flow down my cheeks wit
ANNIE'S POV The woman in the picture looks familiar, I showed the picture to my mum and she confirmed she know the woman. "She is the mother of your friend Lena" Mum you've never met my friend, when you were away, we do receive daily reports on you, we know your friends and even those who bully you." "We also know about how that rascal you call a fiance had someone scaring boys away from you."Why did he do that? It got to a time when I felt I was not good enough because boys hardly approach me and when someone does, the next day the boy will pretend not to know me. He did all this to me when he was busy jumping from one woman to the other," I will not forgive him. So Lena and her mum have been through a lot but she has never said anything to me about her father, she never mentioned it and I thought her father was no more as I thought mine was dead, I know it is a sensitive issue so I never asked her about it. The next day there was news all over the internet about Mr Thompson, un
