Chapter 25: The Mission Day 6

Jonathan's P.O.V.

I couldn’t understand why some of them were here such as Stavros and Rocco, Ricco I understand, But Asher, the question now is why so many in attendance to this meeting, whatever it is it's not good. “Ok, everyone take your seats we have a lot to go over.” After seeing that everyone is seated he continued. “I know you all are wondering about why I gathered you here. It's because we have the same goal, find and take down my cousin Draven for what he has done to our Analina and his involvement in human trafficking mainly of women and female children. This is how this is going to go down: Firstly Santos, Andros, Santiago, Diego, Enzo, Rocco and Asher you will be staying here as Analina's bodyguards. Liliana and Mariann, tell you the truth I don't know why you both are here. Care to explain?” “I go wherever Jonathan goes." Confirmed Mairann.” “I anted to be here in case there was  wedding.” Liliana explains.

“There isn't any reason for you to be in Mexico, Mariann, That's why I'll be holding you and Liliana back.” He then looks over to me and my father. “Is there anywhere these two can go? Since Mariann as of right now is to stay away from Analina.” I asked Andre. “They can stay at our family villa.” My father confirmed with Andre. “Ok, I'll keep Rocco on Mariann's detail, but for Liliana's I'll have Diego assigned to her. You four may leave, oh and Diego, why don't you show them around to the places where You, Analina and the guys used to hang out as kids.” I didn't know that my sister were friends or even knew them as children, I guess I learned something new about my lil sis. I would like to get to know her better especially now after I may have messed everything up between us.

“When I get back from the mission I too would like to know where my sister has spent the first seven years of her life. If one of you would care to show me?” “Of course.” Santos says. “Baby girl and boys, we need you to leave so we can plan for the mission.” As they were leaving I walked up to Analina. “Hey can I talk to you for a minute?” “Sure.” “First, I want to apologize again for my actions towards you with trying to force a marriage that you didn't want onto you. Second, I want to know you better, if you'll let me, I promise I'll keep Mariann away from you.” I tell her with all the love that a brother could have for his sister. “I'd like that, but Jon, My dear brother, you already apologized for your part in the part of the Rocco  thing.” “Good, and thanks lil sis.” She gave me a hug which at the time I probably didn't deserved and let her walk way. “Everything ok?” Andre asked me, I just shake my head at him.

                                    

Rocco walked out of the office with Diego and the women that they are assigned to watch. (I don't know about him, but I'd rather be assigned to Analina. I am however excited about seeing where my girl grew up, even if she should have never been taken from her family as a new born. I still want to know about the first seven years of her life and what she was like back then before Draven got a hold of her.)He thought to himself as they round the corner, and the both of them  stopped dead in their tracks at what they heard.

“I don't care who she thinks she is by having all these older men and young guys fawning over her.” “That's my daughter that you are talking about, Mariann.” “Yes I know, and Jonathan's little sister that he was agonizing over since he found out about her at eighteen. I'm getting tired of being put second for that little slut.” Rocco had to say something. “I'd watch what you say, Mariann. It would be a horrible thought if Jon ever found out what you are saying about his sister.” He says full of anger, he looks over at Liliana, and she has a smirk on her face as she stares at her.

“Oh Rocco, wake up! Do you really think that you are the only one that has given her their heart? There is at least three more of you love sick puppies, and don't forget her boyfriend of ten years that she just happens to have forgotten about. I mean who does that.” “I will have you  know for a fact that the reason that these guys are so attracted to her is her loving heart and all of us feel lucky to just have someone as good as her in our lives, as she also feels just as lucky to have and known us in her life.” Rocco couldn't believe what just came out of his playboy cousin's mouth. I followed Diego as he walked away from them. “Hey!” He called out to him.

 “What was all of that back there? Don't get me wrong, Mariann was getting on my nerves and if you didn't say what you did I would have. But really, What was that?” “I just think that if she was to know the real Analina she wouldn't think that way of her.” “I don't know, I think it is because she does know how Analina is that has her tits in a snarl, she's jealous of her because her husband wants to spend more time with his sister than with her. She has to realize that he hasn't seen her in ten years, he wants to make up for lost time.” “I get that. Come on, let's go grab them so I can take Liliana where we used to play and go to school as children before taking them back to the villa.” “I'm with you, can't wait for this day to end, the less time I have to spend with Mariann the better.”

                                

         The two of them went back  to the ladies “Ready ladies. We won't be long, then we will go to the villa after.” Diego drove them to the house where she grew up in as a kid, from there he went to the elementary school that they all went to, he even took them in direction of the route that she took to school. He knew it was because all of us guys used to walk with her school every morning and walk her home after. Mariann took in the house and school with disgust that they were even making a big deal out of this for Liliana, but she is the girl's mother she had a right to know how she was living and doing without her. He then headed to the park where the guys used to play with her and the last place she was, it also was the place where she was taken by Draven's men. He’ll never forget that day it was a happy one and a frightening one.
