Rico. "Is she the one?" Marco motions in Mia's direction and I nod. When I stepped down from the gang, he was the one to take my place. And like I said, they are always there when I need them. These are my most trusted friends. I knew Marco, Diego, and Dante when I was ten. They have always been here. When Dad sent me to jail, he made sure they followed me shortly after. Thanks to the Russian fucker we got out. When I saw how disturbed Mia was, I knew I had to reach out to them. She started burning up at night and I had a clue she would be sick from how worn out she was. I wouldn't let her indulge in another mission because that's what she could have done, sick or not. So I had Fabio reach out to that cop because apparently, he seems to know much about these people's location. Carl volunteered to come with us and I couldn't tell him no. When Kay called and told me she had collapsed, my mind wandered in all the worse places and I had to run back here. I wash shit scared and the on

Rico. "So did you see her?" I ask drying her hair with a hand towel. I think her hair was originally blonde because she took most of her features from her mum. Silver suits her more though, it compliments her eyes. "Yes, your brother accompanied me" She whispers, staring at me through the dressing mirror. My hands pause at the mention of my brother but I quickly recover. Carl likes Mia, and there is completely nothing I need to worry about. "What was it like?" I comb it afterward and tie it in a ponytail. I can't help but run my fingers on her face. Her skin is soft and without blemish. "Awkward. I didn't know what to do, so I just left" I nod pulling up from the chair. She will be better by tomorrow. "Let's go have dinner before Mum starts to lecture me" I take her hand and she chuckles. " Are you okay, should I carry you?" "No. I am fine Rico" No one has left so far. I suppose they are waiting for Mia's permission and it's like she just realized that now. She rushes to Fabio w

Mia. "Get the boy" I mumble getting in the car. I quickly turn off my phone and throw it in the backseat. Rico will definitely figure out that something is wrong and I can't let him see the guilt in my eyes. Rico always acts on impulse. He doesn't wait to understand the situation. To save us the drama, I will go cool down and address this later. Massimo is attractive and all, but he doesn't stand a chance against Rico. And Rico is one person that I can't afford to hurt. So I need to handle this mess without getting feelings involved. "Wow! Mia. What a cool ride" I ignore Matt and lower my window to communicate with Neera. She is my new right hand. I have never worked with ladies before and I hope I won't regret it. However, I will add two boys to my group of bodyguards. As much as we are smart and all, we don't have muscles. "Take them home. They should not know about the prisoner, I will interrogate him later" I know Rico will be mad when he realizes I left without him. "Okay, bo

Mia. "Be careful" Alessio murmurs taking the lead and opening the door to Massimo's penthouse. Everywhere is dead quiet when we enter and it causes us to be more cautious. Massimo's house is warmer than I expected. He was a clean freak, the neat white couches are proof. Too bad he is gone."Was he like your boyfriend or something?"Nicole whispers, and shake my head with a chuckle. "No he wasn't. Let's spread up. We are here to find something valuable that will lead us to Maxim. I will check his room" I say walking in the direction where the bedrooms are located. because I easily locate the master bedroom and I sigh in relief walking in. Unlike the living room, his bedroom has a dark theme. The walls are grey, and the curtains together with the bedspreads are all black. His scent still lingers around like he was just here. Damn Rico. I walk further and head straight to the drawers of the bedside table. Apart from a bunch of condoms and his ornaments, I find nothing useful. I am

Mia. "So this guy, do you like him?" Nicole enquires, as she gets in her jersey. Since we are going to support Matt, I had Neera buy us jerseys and print Matt's name on them. I am so excited for today. I can't wait to see what a school looks like and even though I'm not going there to learn, I will have the experience of interacting with my fellow teenagers. "Of course not. I don't like him in that manner. He is my friend" I scowl at Nicole, and she laughs raising her hands up in surrender. I can't risk anyone's life again. I underestimated Rico's jealousy. Now I know what he is capable of. "I was just asking, Mia. How do I look?" Alessio hasn't returned yet. I presume he will be back today because it's the second day since he left. I enjoy Nicole's company though. She is more humble than Kay but I love both of them. "You look good" Her jersey is yellow, mine is red and Neera's is blue. I hope Matt will appreciate his new group of fans. I chose black spandex shorts, knee-length wh
