Annie's Dad was sitting at the table but he said nothing, a few minutes later I saw Lucas coming down with bruised face and he is limping as well, "what is going on, did you two engage in fighting"Annie asked with confusion written over her face, "Did she beat you up like this" I nod my head "Mum why did you beat Leonardo, you know he is facing heartbreak and you decide to beat him. Poor Leonardo" Is he teasing me or concern Annie realized we did not engage ourselves in a fight, "Mum why did you beat them, they look terrible""Annie, I brought them up to be responsible men, I didn't bring them up to be sleeping around with women with big breasts with no brain""Lucas has got trapped in some kind of scandal and this is not the first or second so I tricked them and beat them up"Everyone at the table laughed over her declaration, dinner went well, and after dinner, Mr Andriano broke the silence. "What's going on between you two""Dad I want a divorce" Annie said to her father
Annie's pov When I left California for Italy, I made up my mind to only concentrate on my goal, my goal is to create a name for myself in the underworld. As a daughter of a mafia king, I have understood that I am always a target for the enemy to get to my family unless I prove to the mafia world that I am not an easy target. I have accepted who I am and there is no running from it. In this world of ours, either you kill the enemy or get killed and I am not ready to die or see any of my family die because of me. When I was young my aunt kept telling me that my parents were great fighters so she want me to be strong like my parents, I endured every pain during training because all I wanted was to make my parents proud. My aunt was very good at torturing anyone that is a threat to her or me, I was a simple girl but I was not that innocent. I one day walked into our basement which is always locked, it was slightly open that day when I walked in, and I was terrified of what I saw, my aunt

Take care of yourself and come back to me soon, you know where to find me. Your dad doesn't want me to visit Italy any time soon so I will be waiting for your return. Your love. I didn't know I was crying till I felt salty liquid on my lip. He tried to visit me but was scared of my dad. I dropped to the ground and cried my heart out. After some time, I said to myself, Annie you have to move on. I left my room to meet my dad at the gym in our mansion. Throughout the training I wa
ANNIE'S POV My mum can be very dramatic and funny, she doesn't want to prove to me that she was worried so she decided to put everything on my dad. Mum and Dad, I am fine, you better get used to it because this is the beginning. "From today, when you are going on a mission, I will go with you"What are you saying, Dad? "Any mission you embark on, I will be part of the team"Do you go on a mission with my brothers? "Why should I go with them"So why do you want to go with me? "You are my Princess, your brothers can protect themselves"You mean I can't protect myself "Princess that's not what I mean, I can't bare the pain of losing you or seeing you hurt"I held his hand and hugged him, Trust me, Dad, I will try not to get hurt. I have never seen my dad soo vulnerable like a little boy whose mum has left him. I don't want to think about what will happen to him when I get hurt. "Hello family, Luca walked in."

Some are into politics, business, military and other fields the instant I press the emergency bottom of a tiny device attached to my belt every member around this location will rush to where I am, I came with only five men but I know we can take these men down. We hide behind the door while we count the men silently. "What did you say" The Devil's wife says I should inform you that she will visit you soon., that's what I heard from my hideout. hahaha, who does that bitch think she is, one man said. But t
LEONARDO'S POV Before I left for Italy, I had information about some of our enemies who are growing balls. I wanted to solve that question when I get back, going to Italy broke me apart but also woke something in me. I may have lost the love of my life temporarily but that does not mean I've lost her forever. It had been three days when I got back to California and I'd been staying in the penthouse in my office building, I can't go home and I can't go to the office. It reminds me of Annie, my Assistant and Mike has been taking care of the meetings. I am working from the penthouse, my employees do not know am back. I also don't want to see anyone since I still have bruises on my face. My men are keeping an eye on Annie and I can say proudly that this girl is stronger than I am. I made her go through pain but she did not allow the pain to pull her down, she is rather moving stronger and stronger, I am proud of her. Her actions inspired me to work no matter the situation, vicento and my
