Before entering the Mist, I looked at everyone. My men knew what is about to happen when we step into the Mist but all these other people are innocent. I may be heartless and a cold hearted person but I don’t hurt the innocent or want them to get hurt. These ain’t bulletproof glasses and as soon as bullets start to go off in the bank the glass will break and these people will end up getting hurt and I don’t want that to happen.

Walking back to the Russo brother’s to speak with a specific person.

“Could I speak with you for a minute?” I said in a toneless voice looking at Octavious.

I don’t know if I’m seeing stuff but I just saw a little sparkle in his eyes when I just said that but he quickly covered it with that cold stare of his.

We moved a few centimetres away from his brothers and my little brother.“I need you to get these people away from here.” I said looking at his chest.

    “Sophia.” I heard someone next to me, not sure who the voice belonged to.I was weak and felt numb because of the amount of blood I’ve lost. I was tired and all I wanted to do was close my eyes and let the tiredness take over but everytime I close them someone shakes me and yells at me to not close them. They were slightly open seeing how a bright light passed by quickly and people crying, pleading for me to stay awake. Not knowing where I was, I looked to my side and saw Lucas on my left crying and Alexander on my left. Seeing Alexander I knew that I was in the hospital. Trying to stay awake but all my eyes wanted to do was close. Giving up, I let the tiredness take over and close my eyes.“No….Sophia. Stay awake.” Was the last thing I heard before I let the darkness take over.=========“Where am I?” I said to myself looking around. There was nothing, it was just all white. “Lucas….Alex!” I called out not knowing where I was.I started running trying to find out. Giving up I fell t

    For the past two day's I was in the hospital because the doctors wanted too keep an eye on me to monitor me to see if I will have any complications after the surgery but right now I was on my way to the Russo Estate. Dr.Morreti said that it will take about a week or two for me to recover depends on how I take care of my myself by not moving too much , eating right and taking the medication prescribed to help decrease swelling, pain and fever. They wanted to keep me longer but I refused to stay any longer. So Angela offered to look after me because that was the least she could do for someone who risked their live to save her and her grandson. I told her that it wasn't necessary for her to do that, I would be able to look after myself but then she argued back saying if I look after myself I will have too move and that will cause my wound to open, then I will have to come back to the hospital, or it wil get infected, or I would be in pain and no one would be there to help me, she just sa

    It's been 3 day's since I came to live with the Russo's and to be honest it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It has also been a week since I saw little Marcus, that's why today I have a play date with little Marcus and little one.I wasn't going to do it because of all the documents and files I need to go through, clients I have to call,documents that needed my attention that I need to approve of and check on the shipments going to Russia but how could I say no to my little nephew. Walking down stairs, I went to the kitchen where Angela was busy making breakfast. "Good morning Angela." I said sitting down on one of the chairs behind the island."Good morning dear, how did you sleep?" Angela asked turning around, wiping her hands on her apron."Good.....better then the last two day's." I said giving her a small smile.The past two day's I have either, woke up in the middle of the night and then I couldn't go back to sleep, or the pain would keep me up or I couldn't fall asleep

"Nonna, ho fame." (Grandma I'm hungry)"Abbiamo quasi finito, Elijah, mancano solo pochi minuti." (It's almost done Elijah, just a few minutes.)

I said in a quiet voice, sitting up against the headboard."Morning, miss Sophia." Little one said scooting closer to me."Why are you awake so early little one? It is only 8 o'clock."

    The moment Damien and I stepped inside the mansion the atmosphere changed. The laughter died down, everyone becoming serious. All of my men bowing their heads as I walked past them, towards my office. A few quickly scuring away towards their rooms to change into their work attire before I walked past them.Getting to my office I slammed the door shut out of anger, forgetting Damien was behind me."Damn Sophia." Damien groaned, walking in holding his nose."There ain't blood coming out." I scoffed, pacing up and down."God dammit Sophia, sit down you're pacing is making me dizzy." Damien groaned, sitting down on the couch in the corner of the room, laying his head back closing his eyes.Turning around I glared at him, crossing my arms."Sorry." He said lifting his arms up in defence.Sitting down behind my desk, I opened one of the draws taking out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

    Three days........three god damn days since Sophia left for Russia and I can't stop thinking about her. She's all I could think of, when I go to sleep, when I wake up and she's even in my goddamn dreams. She's consuming my mind without her even knowing or trying. I couldn't focus on my work because she's all I could think of. I don't know why but seeing her Saturday night in that white button down shirt , knowing it wasn't the one she left in, made me infuriated. Telling us, more to Lucas mama and Elijah that she was leaving for Russia not saying why, just saying it was something she has to take care of but nothing big that they should have to worry about her. Lucas wanted to go with her but she said something in Russian to him that made him back down , deciding he didn't want to go anymore. Seeing her with those men made me want to murder them for just being so close to her, especially the one who couldn't keep his damn eyes off her, more to say her ass. Every time she would walk h
