Chapter 2

Mirabella

I joked because Alexander in a girl's name is weird, unless that's my father's name. My mom's name is Mirael and I go as Mirabella… The other part logically seemed like my father's… I stopped when I felt him not beside me anymore. I turned around to see him staring at me dead in the eyes.

" I am sorry sir, but people assume that that's my father's name," I joked. I am sorry for my behavior. "

Alex Romano was not someone I wanted to mess with. It's just a matter of seconds before I'm out of this company and banned from every other…

"Do you know any Alexander Russo? Do you have any idea how similar you look like him? "

Alex Romano

I was shocked the very moment I saw this girl. She looked like the fucking carbon copy of Alexander Russo, the Italian Mafia and my father's friend. I have known him since diapers and I know the five other sons he has. She looks a bit like Dante too. For a moment, I thought it was Dante in female clothes.. And her name is so... so like him.. Mirabella Alexander Russo! Could it be.....? No way, because he has five sons and no daughters or my father would know if he had any illegitimate children out there.

I stood outside the CEO's room while she kept on apologizing after joking about Alexander Russo. She surely doesn't know him or else that's not the tone she would use.

"Ok.. Let's go inside.. "

We both walked in and discussed for a bit, but my eyes traveled towards her every minute. She stood a bit distant and I saw the discomfort as she stood, quietly whincing occasionally.. The meeting ended and she walked me out. Before I could get in the car, I stopped and looked back at her..

"What's your mother's name? "

Please let the dots connect... She looked confused at my question.

"Mirael Russo.. "

I huffed and got in the car.. How many Russo's are there? The driver started driving, and I looked at the looking glass and saw her crouched down on the ground. I knew something was wrong with her.

"I need her info on my table as soon as I enter the office. "

My right man answered in the affirmative, and I cut the call.. . I had a gut feeling about her and, being a Russian mafia, my guts were never wrong.

New York

As soon as I landed, I pulled at Russo's Penthouse to meet none other than Dante Russo, who owned the place. The security knew me too well to stop me and I entered the house to smell alcohol.

"Get.Out! "

There was Dante.. Chugging down on alcohol like water..

"Not a nice way to greet a guest. "

I took a seat in front of him and served myself tequila shots.. He snarled..

"Guest? You're a fucking intruder! "

I smiled and drank.. This man is weird.. Works on Sundays while drinking on Tuesdays.. He's older than me by two years. . But me and him, being the first heirs of family and future Mafia and CEO, made us as close as Europe and Australia.

"I was in DC and I met someone. "

I stated.. He should know and look into the matter because this IS serious if I suspect is true.

"Don't tell me Alex Romano is in love! I'll throw up all the alcohol. "

My hand froze in midair as I had thought for a while. She is my type and I sort of got attracted to her. But one meeting, that too business, is not the ideal one to know if you like someone in that sense.

"She looked like you Dante. "

He choked on his drink and sat up straight..

"I fucked no women pregnant dude! "

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Dante... She looks like an uncle too. "

Now he looked offended..

"My father fucked no woman pregnant either! “

" Oh Lord Dante!! I am assuming that she is your sister!! She's 17 and auntie-"

I stopped as he pulled his hands in front of me..

"Don't you dare talk about that woman ever in front of me! “

I sighed..

" I don't want to, but I think you should look into this matter. "

I got up and left.. He'll contact me once sobered up..

Mirabella

I walked slower than the turtle as I felt immense pain in my ribs which I'm sure is broken.. My shoulder felt like it was dislocated and I could barely move it. I limped a bit as my legs were too bruised...

As I took the last corner, blue and red lights flashed, and my heart thumped as I felt the same scene repeating. Fuck pain!

I sprinted towards the house and I didn't want to think that something had happened to Puto like I thought of mom. People I love can't leave me behind like that!

As I neared, I saw a much larger body than Puto being carried out.. The blood stained the white clothes on the body and I pathetically wished it was one of my stepparents! I stood there, and I felt two hands hugging my waist.. I looked down and saw Puto, all okay.. I kneeled and hugged him..

"What happened? "

I asked, pulling out and he looked down.

"They got into a fight and dad stabbed her and ran away. "

I was confused because there was no argument they had. Killing each other was not a thing they would do, but who cares? She died and I'm happy.. But my stomach twisted as an officer came up to me.

"Are you Mirabella Alexander Russo? "

I nodded and he looked a bit hesitant.

"I am sorry sweetie, but your stepmom passed away and your stepfather.. Umm.. he ran away.. "

I nodded because I was actually happy that both of them were gone. I'm free and Puto is too, but horror sets into me. I'm not 18 yet and Puto is only 7! Mom's assets have not been accessible till then!

I have no father because mom never really told me. I have no uncle, aunt or grandparents.. I heard fostering is shit in this state and I just don't want to go from one worse house than another. Also, Puto is not leaving me!

"We will take you both to the station for now and take your blood sample to see if there are any relatives and if they want to take you in. "

Sounds as good as taking a swim in acid..

"Will I pack my bags please? "

He nodded, and I pulled Puto aside and packed what I needed along with his medicine.

Soon we were seated in the station while they moved here and there.. Puto fell asleep, and my head dropped as I felt sleepy.. I clutched onto my pink dolphin that mom gifted and sleep took over.

I jolted up from sleep as someone shook me.. I thought Damon was back and moved back.. I signed out in relief as I saw an officer.. I probably passed out for a few hours because when I woke up, it was dark outside.

"I have got some good news for you. We found your family who would like to take you in. "

I sat there in confusion.. Who would want to take me in? Was it from my mother's side? But she always ignored me when I asked about her family.

"Who ? "

"Your Father and brother..They will be here in a few hours from New York, and you'll be moved there... Rest till then.. "
