"So, you stay here?" I asked Arabella as she took a seat next to me. Antonio and Blake also sat with the kids on their laps.
She smiled, "Sometimes but now since you're staying here... I might stay here more often. Let's be honest, I've known you for like thirty minutes and I already like you."
"So, what's for dinner Esme?" Antonio asked the old woman who approached them with a smile "Lasagna."
"My favourite!!" Blake shouted excitedly making Izzy giggle. Just then Enzo entered the room. He sat at the head of the table which just happened to be...across me.
They were all talking and laughing amongst themselves while eating their food at the same time. They looked like a family. The only persons who wasn't talking or laughing was Enzo and I. I was eating my food quietly and so was he.
There was a man who was sitting across Enzo, facing me. My guess was that he was the underboss then beside the underboss there was a woman. They were sitting pretty close so I guessed that they were together.
My eyes then fell on the ring on her finger. Married. She was his wife.
"Uncle!" Izzy shouted making Enzo snap his head towards the voice. He smiled lightly at the little girl before resuming his food.
He smiled...?
"Where's uncle essio?" Freddy asked, tilting his head a bit to the side. He had brown hairs and blue eyes, similiar to Izzy. Arabella had blue eyes but her hair was black. That made me wonder...Who was Freddy and Izzy's father?
Enzo has black hairs and green eyes and now that I notice, he had a lot of piercings too. It made him look like the 'Bad Boy' type. He had a lot of tattoos; on his arms, neck and maybe other places too.
I had tattoos too but not much- I had an 'A' on my neck and my very own initial as the 'Deadly' on my wrist which I concealed. The 'A' stood for my brother's name.
My tattoo to show that I was the 'Deadly' consisted of a sword and snake around it. I also had a black rose tattoo on my waist sides while some other parts of my body were tattooed with scars.
"He should be here anytime now." Enzo replied. Izzy smiled as Arabella fed her.
After a while, I was done eating. I stood up and walked towards the sink before washing my plate. I then placed it in the plate holder before pouring myself a glass of water. After washing the glass, I went back to the dining room to take my phone which I left on the table.
I was about to walk towards them when My eyes fell on someone else sitting where I was previously sitting. I studied the man who was speaking with Enzo, he didn't care about his surroundings. His whole attention was on Enzo as he was speaking.
I stood in a corner, nobody noticed that I was there. I was admiring him. His green-coloured eyes, his black hairs...he looked almost like him. Alessio and I didn't have the same features even though he was my brother. While my hair was brown, his was black.
Sighing, I was about to walk away when my eyes fell on his right arm. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing several tattoos but one tattoo caught my eyes making them widened. The tattoo was small yet very noticeable. It was the letter 'A' written boldly and beautifully.
"Alessio..." I intended to whisper but my voice came out a bit louder than It should have, making everyone who were sitting at the table snap their heads in my direction.
Alessio stared at me in confusion. He didn't remember me? I wouldn't blame him though. I've changed a lot.
"That's the assassin I was talking to you about." Enzo said to Alessio who was staring intently at me.
However, what Alessio did next seemed to shock everyone in the room. He stood up and rushed towards me before engulfing me into a bone crushing hug.
I instantly hugged him back which made him only tightened his grip around me. We stayed like that, ignoring everyone who were watching us. After all, we were two siblings who just reunited after four years...
"I've missed you, sis." Alessio whispered. It's been three minutes since we're like that and none of us still hadn't parted away. I guessed he missed me as much as I missed him.
Arabella cleared her throat, making both me and Alessio stare at her. "What?"
"Won't you tell us how you two know each other?" Arabella asked, crossing her arms as she leaned in the chair comfortably.
Alessio smiled before wrapping his arms around my shoulders. "This is my s-"
I cut him off instantly, not wanting him to blow my cover and everything else, "I was his best friend...we are meeting each other again after four years."
Alessio shot me a confused look. I silently pleaded him to play along and I was thankful when he did.
"Right...she's my best friend and we were really close." He replied with a smile, "I can't wait to catch up with you. How about right now yeah? Let's go to your room."
I nodded, knowing that he needed an explanation. However, I was glad that he understood what I was trying to tell him. I walked away with him following me behind.
As soon as entered after me, he closed the door and leaned against it with his arms crossed.
"Explain."
"They can't know that my real name is Azalea Romano and not Lea White. I don't work for the American mafia and all. I'm just here to do Sean a favour because the other assassins didn't want to come here as Enzo scared them and some did not want to leave their families- stupid assassins. Sean did not want to send them here unwillingly. Linda, the girl, who was supposed to come here- well her mother fell sick so she couldn't come so...here I am.." I explained.
"So you don't work for the American Mafia?" He asked to which I Shook my head, "That's right, I don't."
"You're an assassin though..right?" He asked to which I scoffed before smirking, "I'm not any assassin, brother. I'm the best of the bests. I'm the assassin." I stressed one the word 'the'.
Alessio's eyes widened when he heard what I said. I wouldn't blame him though. I never hid anything from Alessio, he was my brother and I knew that I could trust him.
"You're The assassin? The deadly?" He asked, unable to believe what he just heard.
I nodded. I was waiting for him to snap at me or tell me that what I do isn't good but on the contrary, he smiled brightly at me.
"I'm proud of you." He said, "My sister is the best assassin in the world. I can't be prouder."
"My brother is the best sniper in the world. I can't be prouder." I mimicked making him laugh.
"So, why are you taking down those men?" He asked, referring to Logan, Daniel and Lewis.
I sighed before replying, "They were involved in mom and dad's death."
"What?"
I nodded, "I was there. I saw it all...I saw them- I saw him."
_____Flashback_____
|Third person's POV|
"Aren't you happy to see me again Liz?" Vladimir asked as he Bent down to Lea's mother and grabbed her chin in between his fingers.
"Fuck you!" Elizabeth spit in his face.
"What? now...? Alright, baby, alright." Vladimir replied with a smirk as he began to remove his pants.
Lea's mother, Elizabeth's eyes widened when Vladimir removed his pants as well as his boxers, standing there with only his shirt on in front of Lea mother. All his men turned around, their back facing Vladimir.
Her mother started crying as she stared at her husband's dead body. He was shot in between the eyes. Lea was hiding behind a huge pillar and was watching everything silently.
What could she possibly do? She was only sixteen-
It was a good thing that nobody knew that The Romanos had children. Everything was very well hidden because Lea's and Alessio's father knew that their family would be in danger one day and he didn't want to get his kids involved.
"Suck, baby." Vladimir said as he shoved his Dick inside Elizabeth's mouth, forcing her to take him. He placed a hand on the back of her head and forced her. Vladimir was a disgusting man- another thing he was renowned for apart from being a child trafficker.
Elizabeth sobbed and choked but couldn't do anything. She was struggling but Vladimir was strong. He held her in place.
Azalea cried silently. She placed her hand over her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. Her mom's eyes fell on her and soften.
She blinked twice, silently telling her to run away so she did. Azalea run away silently, not letting anyone know that she was there. Azalea took a look at the faces of the people present there. She removed her phone and took a photo of the men who were there and promised that she would kill them one by one.
She blamed herself for everything. She ran like a coward and she hated herself for it. But then again there wasn't much that she could have done.
She was one against around eight men who were very highly trained.
She then ran away. She had no idea where she was going. All she knew was that she needed to get away from that place. Then she met Sean who gave her a whole new life.

|Alessio's POV|Never have I ever thought that I would meet my sister again and that too, in the same house as the De Luca Family.I didn't waste a second and hugged the life out of her when I recognized her. I was confused when she cut me off and introduced herself as my best friend. However, I played along, understanding that she was trying to cover something.When Lea told me that it was Vladimir who killed our parents and ruined our family, I saw red. All I could think about was ways on how to kill that son of a bitch.It's been years since me and Enzo have been planning to take him down. Vladimir Molotov is the Leader of the Russian Mafia, the second most powerful mafia after the Italians.The Italians and The Russians have been at war for longer than I can remember. But the main reasons why Enzo wanted Vladimir gone was because first, he was a threat and secondly, he killed Enzo's sister.Vladimir is powerful and smart. For us to be able to take him down requires years of planni
"So what's my first mission with you people?" I asked Enzo as I sat down next to him in the huge meeting room.Less than three minutes ago, he asked- wait no- I meant, ordered me, two other guy who I don't know and his siblings except Arabella,, to gather up in the meeting room and here we are.It's been at least three hours since I've came to this mansion and I was bored shitless. I was preparing myself for later. I had to go to the 'Starlight club' and kill Paul Estes."We need to take back our weapons from Travis Lopez," Enzo replied, breaking my thoughts. He placed something on the table. When I took a closer look, only then did I realize that It was actually a blueprint."This is the blueprint of his base here in this country. He stole our shipments, which held our weapons and now we are going to get them back. The plan is simple. We get in, take the weapons, place bombs inside, get outside, blow the place and return here." Enzo explained while everybody listened closely and car
"Where are you going?" I was one step away from the door. I was already dressed up to go to the club to end Paul Estes for good but of course...someone had to notice me and it wasn't just anyone. It's the one and only...Enzo De Luca.I turned around to face him. I was wearing a short dress and my high heels. My hairs were tied into a ponytail and my tattoos were concealed like always. My tattoos consisted of a snake wrapped around a sword. If anyone sees that tattoo, they'll instantly find out who I am because I never concealed them when I go on missions and stuff. Everybody who I haven't killed but attacked only saw my tattoos and definitely told everyone about how it was. It was their only lead on me.His eyes roamed around my body shamelessly. I rolled my eyes before replying, "To meet a friend""I'm coming with you" He replied before walking in my direction, "whether you like it or not.""No you won't be coming with me" I clenched my jaw as I speak, "I am perfectly capable of goi
"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you fucking drunk?" He asked angrily, keeping his voice low."I'm not drunk" I shrugged, "Look, I need you to pretend like you don't know me and don't question."He scoffed, "Why?""What did I say about questioning?" I raised my brows."I don't take orders, White." He replied, standing up, "I fucking give them.""I know" I took a step away from him, "I promise I'll do anything you tell me to do in the upcoming week."I can't believe I've actually said that.He tilted his head to the side. "Are you serious?""Dead" I replied seriously, "I promise.""You'll do whatever I say without asking questions. You'll follow my orders...and call me Don." He smirked."I'll follow all your orders and call you...Don for only a week. Do we have a deal?"He thought for a while before nodding with a smirk, "Fine then. You promised. Break it and I'll have your head.""I'll gladly give it to you if I break it. No questions alright?" I asked and he nodded, "So I just h
The next morning, We were all sitting and having breakfast. Arabella was feeding her kids, Antonio was playing on his phone with Blake and eating their breakfast at the same time while Dominic and Dante were talking to each other. Enzo was speaking to someone over the phone and I was eating my breakfast in peace.Enzo didn't question me about anything as per our deal. I haven't spoken to him ever since last night but that doesn't mean that I'm not gonna respect my part of the deal. I'm a woman of my words.When I say I'll do something, I'll fucking do it."Where were you last night?" Arabella asked, shoving a piece of pancake in Freddy's mouth."Enzo wasn't here either." Blake intervened, "They were both out at the same time and returned at the same time. I checked in the cameras. Lea was covered in blood when she returned. Where were you guys?"""We went on a last minute mission" I replied, trying to sound as casual as possible.Blake nodded, "Whose blood was that?""Ask one more que
I've been training Ryan non-stop for the week. Today is his last day of training because tomorrow he'll be fighting a guy.Ryan was giving his best. He was becoming better and better everyday. I made him wake up at five in the morning and train until eight with breaks in between, of course. Then he would be free until five in the evening then we would resume the training until eight.It was hard but he managed to do it. He made a lot of progress within these days. Nobody asked us any questions because they had no idea what we were doing. Whenever we would go to the gym, it was empty.I also went on three missions this week, with Enzo and the team which consisted of his siblings, Dominic and Dante. Enzo and I barely spoke to each other unless when it's Necessarily.He threw orders and I weirdly started following then without asking questions. I know why though. I dint want to speak to him. I was getting too...comfortable to say the least. I'm not used to getting attached.Sean prolongi
|Lea's POV|Today we would return back to Enzo's mansion—where I usually stay. We were all having breakfast when the door flew open and someone walked in.Alessio."The job is done," were the first words he said to Enzo before his eyes fell on me. I ignored him and continued to eat my food, pretending like he wasn't there.He left without saying a word and now he's back, wanting to do what? Hang out and eat ice cream?When our parents died, I spent every single day looking for him but in vain. He was too good at hiding and He didn't bother to look for me, yet I forgave him because I was too darn happy to have found my brother again.It's been what? weeks?...since I last saw him. He didn't even bother to tell me where he was going or for how long."Lea, I'm sorry..." He apologized, knowing that I was mad. I'm bound to be. I was worried—even though I didn't show it but I was.When he said the last words, everybody's heads snapped in his direction like he wasn't used to apologize. I also
|Third person's POV|The door flew open and several men stepped out, holding their gun firmly in their hands.The room was quiet. The men could only hear their own footsteps and breaths as they walked across the room.They could see dead bodies and blood spilled everywhere. It didn't take longer than a second to guess who made all this mess."Find her. Now!" The boss, Logan, shouted at the other men who instantly split themselves up to look for her.After a few minutes of searching, the men returned with their heads lowered."There's no one here, boss." One of them spoke as they watched the Logan clench his jaw in frustration."Mother fucker," Logan hissed, placing his gun back in his waistband. He then dismissed his men who left instantly. As soon as his men left, Logan called someone to clean up the mess.However, before the man could leave the place, he was shot straight in the head and fell on the

Am I in a what with who?"Run that by me again?""I do not repeat myself." He said, walking away from his table. He went behind me towards the small bar and poured himself a glass of wine before turning back to face me."Well then I didn't hear so I guess, whatever you asked me, won't be answered." I replied, standing up. I walked towards him and grabbed a glass before pouring myself a glass.He was observing my every move. I rested my elbow on the bar with my drink in my hand and turned my head to face him.He clenched his jaw and his grip tightened on the glass he was holding. I guess nobody ever behaved this way with him before.Well, there's a first time for everything."Are you and Sean Blackwood in a relationship?" He repeated, his eyes boring holes into my soul. He was getting angrier with every passing second. I could imagine fumes getting out from his ears.There was no way Sean and I would date. I like him and all but not like that. Besides he was younger than me. He was onl
