It has been a week ever since Alexia learned that Sofia was her sister, since then she has been dealing with so many mixed feelings. Sometimes she wants to embrace the idea of having a sister, but her mind keeps telling her otherwise. Alexia admitted to herself that killing Sofia was the only way she could live in peace and come out from the shadows.
Even now she stared intensely at Sofia as she was leading the meeting on their Mafia assignment. Her so called sister carried her confidence on her face and it seemed that she was particularly confident about this job. The entire team worked day and night to insure that they did not repeat the mistakes of six years ago.
“Alexia, are you in the meeting?” Sofia asked her with her eyebrow raised in question.
Alexia coughed awkwardly because she might have been caught staring, “I am in the meeting I just trailed off for a bit.” She answered.
“It looked like you were glaring at the ca
Sofia asked for permission to leave the academy and it was granted. She was now on her way out of the academy and made sure to look over her shoulder during every step. Sofia did not like to drive when she was alone so she would always walk, take a cab, or take the train. She was moving fast through the streets with her hoodie over her head. She could feel Alex trailing behind her and as much as it annoyed her, she actually felt good that he was following her.She ducked into an alley and stood there waiting for Alex to appear so she could confront him. Alex entered the same alley carelessly and he stopped in his tracks as he saw Sofia leaning on the wall, staring at him.“Am I caught?” Alex asked as he raised his hand to scratch behind his neck.“Is it not obvious?” Sofia answered with her eyebrow raised.“Did you know I was following you? I have never been caught in the spy act before.” Alex said proudly.
Luca had manged to sort everything out after the two suspicion looking people escaped. Lorenzo could now move his body, but his limbs still felt heavy from whatever it was that was injected into his body. Luca and Lorenzo were inside Don Russo’s study as the waited for him to come. “I still don’t understand why you didn’t go after them.” Lorenzo said as he laid on the couch. “It would have been pointless to do so.” Luca answered with his mind pretty far away. “How do you know it would have pointless unless you actually tried?” Lorenzo pressed on with the matter and Luca sighed as he was now becoming annoyed with him. He held his tongue and luckily the conversation ended there for now when Giovanni walked in. “Boss.” Luca said and showed his respect while Lorenzo attempted to stand but Giovanni signalled for him to stay put as he passed by him. “Report.” Giovanni said as he sat down on the chair. “We were loading things in the warehouse
One Week Later The Russo household was completely buzzing with preparation as the week for the gala had arrived. Giovanni had instructed his team to go to the venue earlier on and make sure that they were prepared for any bad outcome that might occur in the gala. Giovanni was currently inside the in-house shooting range practicing his aim. As usual he was an exceptional shooter because all of his bullets were hitting the red target. He was so involved in his shooting that he had not noticed that Alice had entered the shooting range too. She stood behind her brother cringing at the sound of the gunshots until she could not take it anymore, she tapped her brother on his shoulder. On instinct Giovanni quickly turned around with the gun pointed at his sister, Alice felt like her heart would jump out of her body. “Wait…. Gio it is just me. Please put that down.” Alice said with her hand which was now on her heart. Giovanni slowly put his gun down a
Today was the day of the gala and Giovanni was determined to make a statement at today’s event. He and Luca were seated inside Alice’s studio as she was dashed around the racks of clothing around the studio.“Boss, when do you think she’s going to attend to us.” Luca asked as a small smile played on his face.“She is in her element Luca, so you know the answer to that question.” Giovanni answered sleekly.“At this rate we might even miss the event.” Luca said and a low laugh followed thereafter.“I can hear you Luca.” Alice’s voice rang from behind one of the many racks of clothing. Luca laughed under his breath because he could hear her frown through her words. “Caught red handed.” Luca said more too himself but was still heard by Giovanni. Alice finally popped up from one of the racks looking overly excited with herself.“Okay, boys time to dre
The squad were seated in comfortable silence until O’Brian decided to break the ice with his comment, “guys how much do you want to bet that captain probably chose a black dress.” O’Brian said with a smirk.“I doubt it.” Alex said and continued to browse through his phone. “I mean can she go any other colour? She loves the colour black and white is as far as she has ever gone.” O’Brian added.“Well, we could always bet.” Mica said looking up from his drawings.“This is not going to end well.” Wyatt said as he tied his dreads in a ponytail.“Alright, what will we be betting on?” O’Brian asked excitingly.“Let us bet on our next pay, all of it no questions asked. It will be split between people who had voted for and against the idea of the colour black.” Wyatt said and laughed.“I thought you said that this would end
Sofia was in the driver’s seat and Becca was in the passenger seat besides her. Before Sofia got in the sport car she had made sure to remover her heels because she knew that they would definitely disturb her driving. She was smiling at the moment because she was so very right with her decision and did not regret it at all. “You look happy captain.” Becca said as she looked at Sofia now and again. “Becca, if you want our uncover operation to work you need to stop calling me captain. At least not tonight.” Sofia replied as she took a right turn down another street. ‘Oops, my bad I almost went out of character.’ Becca said and laughed. ‘Don’t you always.’ O’Brian’s voice said through the earpiece. “O’Brian, why are you still connected to this channel? You will interfere with the mission if you talk while we are busy.” Sofia said sternly. “Sorry about that captain I just could not resist messing with Becca before you arrived at your desti
Samantha and Brittany mad their way to where Don Russo was and stood close but not to close. Samantha looked up at the painting before her and she smiled.“What are you smiling about?” Brittany asked loud enough for Don Russo and Luca’s ears to hear.“I am smiling at the masterpiece before me Brittany.” Samantha replied elegantly.“Honestly speaking I don’t see what you see.” Brittany answered.“The painting speaks about a person’s loneliness even though they are surrounded by people almost all the time.” Don Russo’s deep voice said. Brittany pretended to be startled although she had seen him approach them slowly. Samantha smiled because their little discussion caught their attention.“Oh, I see there is someone here who appreciates artwork as much as I do.” Samantha said as she turned around to look at Don Russo.“Good evening, beautiful lady.” D
Giovanni felt drown to the woman he just met earlier, and he noticed that she wore a dress made by Alice. He told himself that he would go through every security camera of every store that belongs to them so he could catch a glimpse of her again. Giovanni was so distracted with his thoughts that he didn’t hear Luca talking to him.“Boss, can you hear me?” Luca insisted one more time. “Oh sorry, what did you say?” Giovanni asked as he finally turned his attention to Luca.“Did you not find those two-woman strange?” Luca asked because he felt like he knew the lady in gold.“Uhm, I did find them a little strange, but we can’t judge people just because they are acting weird.” Giovanni said and but his hands behind his back.“Let me scout them in the gala and see who they are mingling with so we can have an idea of the kind of people they are.” Luca said still feeling uneasy.
