Leonardo's pov For the past two weeks now things are a little shaky, there have been so many attacks on us. First, it was Annie, those mother f**kers have the gust to hijack my ship, they attacked my club in Los Angeles, it was soo bad that innocent people were killed in the process. The Andrianos are also into petroleum and someone has the guts to attack their men during a transaction, this is not the doing of Alexander the boss of the Russian mafia, the person behind the attack is binding behind local gangs. The information we've gathered so far proves he hires the locals to do the dirty work for him but he doesn't show his face to them. We have so many enemies that I don't know who is really behind this, but we are certain that all these attacks are not coincidences. I have a business conference and also a meeting to attend in Italy and I am not going to leave Annie behind. I told her about the business meeting and conference but I left the mafia party and also my mission out,

We went to a fancy hotel for our breakfast, I love the company of my parents, even though my dad doesn't talk much, I how protective he is. When we entered the restaurant, everyone was staring at us, I f

They didn't have membership cards but they rather came with a friend who is a member, they were allowed into the clubhouse because their friend is also sleeping with the manager who is a married man. My mum fired him as well and his little whore was also banned. My mum called her public relation office to get his team to work, she sent to video of what happened to them. "Annie what do you intend to do to that girl and her family," my mum asked me, you will see. I am proud of you Annie, in this world, you don't have to be soft, you have to prove yourself from today onwards, let the world know you are the true mafia, Princess, you are not someone anyone can mess with.

The hall became so quiet after the announcements, but the people remain standing till we made ourselves comfortable, before they all got sited. Mum, why is everyone standing? I asked my mum undertone," It is a gesture of respect". She said, when our table was served, an elderly man came along and tasted all the dishes on the table, my Mum saw the confusion on my face.

I run in a different direction to back vicento up because there are a lot of enemies shooting in his direction, I shot the enemies fearlessly. Because I am not ready to lose any member of my family, the few people left were all hiding. We don't know the situation outside but I have a feeling that the building is surrounded, within 30 minutes our attackers were all on the floor, I raised my head only to see Leonardo aiming a gun in my direction, bang! bang!
