Chapter 3

Leonardo Pov

"Boss everything went as planned and we killed everyone involved with the misplacement of the last shipments". Frank said to me on the phone he's my very trusted aid for my mafia business.

Most mafias don't have aids but Frank is an old family friend since he's not of Russo blood he couldn't take the position as my second in command, that position is held by my eldest son, Marcello. So I gave him the role of my aid since he's good at negotiating.. and killing.

"Good tell Mar-" Before I could finish my sentence my other cell phone buzzed, It was used for my legal businesses, I own several large corporations and restaurants mostly in Italy but also around the world.

"Call Marcello he'll know what to do".

  Click

I ended the call with Frank and looked at the other phone to see it was an unknown number my eyebrows furrowed not knowing who this was but I picked up.

"Who"? I ask in a no-nonsense type of tone.

"M-Mr. Russo my name is Officer Quinn, from the Wyoming police department We have your daughter Luna in our custody She was rescued from her home by her stepfather and is now in the hospital in critical condition. We did a blood test and found that she's been missing for 18 years. If you want to pick her up you can but you need to come fill out the necessary paperwork, if not -" I cut him off.

Wait what.. did he say my daughter.. Luna is found? And she's in the hospital in critical condition?!

I clench my fist tight and breathe out. "If this is some type of joke I'll hunt you down and pull your guts from your mouth" I seethe out angry that this might be some sick hoax but deep down I hoped it was real.

"I assure you Mr. Russo it's not a hoax we have Luna, You can do a DNA test yourself but if you decide to take her in please be advised that she's a very fragile child I will explain more in detail if you decide to come" he said.

"I will take her in I'll be there as soon as possible". I say with a bit of anxiousness which is unlike me.

"She's at Wyoming General Hospital".

I hang up the phone and immediately dial all of my son's numbers telling them to drop everything and come home.

20 minutes later

I'm sitting in the living room with a glass of bourbon in my hand I need a drink to be able to handle all five of my son's reactions when I tell them our bambina is coming back home. Soon I hear stampeding footsteps entering the house making its way to the living room.

They all sit across from me waiting for me to speak but I just take another sip of bourbon.

"Padre, what's the urgency"? My eldest Marcello says as he sees me taking another sip out of my glass.

I put my drink down making sure to look directly into the eyes of my sons.

"Luna"..

They all tense up at the sound of her name its not that we didn't talk about her it just hurt bringing it up even after eighteen years.

"She's coming home". I take a moment to analyze each of their faces.

Marcello- blank, void of emotion but I can see the glimmer of hope in his eyes. He may come off cold and stand offish but he's the most protective of his family. He misses Luna as much as I do he was broken when Stacey left knowing she carried our Principessa.

Mattia - teary-eyed, full of anticipation and hope, he was the only one in the family to show all of his emotions. That didn't take away from his ruthlessness at all but he was definitely the caretaker of us all and he dearly wanted to meet his spelling.

Gio - anger, frustration, a hint of sadness he was the wild card and severely unpredictable which made him dangerous. I knew he wasn't angry with Luna he was angry with Stacey for taking her away he's always wanted to meet his sorella.

Alessandro- happiness and guilt, he always wanted Luna around and felt guilty he never got the chance to be a big brother to her. Now he has the chance and I can see he's happy about that he's laid back but don't get on his bad side he can be worse than Gio.

Andrea - happiness and sadness, Much like Andrea his older twin he also wanted Luna around but was sad that he never got the chance Like his twin he is also laid back and ruthless.

"Where is she now We have to go get her" Marcello was the first to speak.

"She is in Wyoming in the hospital The police said she was in critical condition when they found her" I breathe out with so much venom lacing in my words.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN CRITICAL CONDITION"! I hear Gio yell as he stands up looking ready to kill anything moving.

"Watch your fucking mouth when you're talking to Padre," Marcello says glaring at Gio who huffs in response but apologizes for being disrespectful.

"They said they will tell us more when we get there so we're leaving right now the jet is already prepared". I say as I get up heading to the door.

"She's coming back, Padre"? I hear Mattia say.

"Yes son, she is and I'm so happy but I'm also worried about her," I say.

"Yeah me too I thought if we ever got to see her it wouldn't involve us going to a hospital". Alessandro says with an angry voice.

"Well it doesn't matter now we're going to get her our bambina she is coming home," I say as we all exit the house finally making our way to Luna.
