They say cherish the memories of your love one's that have died but remembering everything about that person and then you realizing that it's only memories and you won't be able to make more memories with them is the worst form of toture. It only makes you miserable. I once had a beautiful and peacefull life that wasn't full of death and misery. I was ready to start a family with the love of my life but unfortunately the universe didn't agree with it. Fate had decided to take him and our unborn baby away from me. I lost my mother and baby sister. My older brother Alessandro was killed on his way home. The only people I have left in my dark and misrebale life is my dear father, twin brother and little brother. Since everything happened it has already been 7 years and I became a knew person, I even myself don't recognise. A cold hearted and ruthless person known a Sophia Romano by the outside people but also known as Khaalida to my people.When I was seven years old I was kidnapped and
I love the sound of someone who is in agony, begging me to spare their lives, begging for mercy. Did they ecen have the slightest thought of what I would do them if I found out, no they didnt. So why should I show mercy towards them? They broke the Russian mafia oath, and they must face the consequences of betraying us. I don’t spare anyone and give you a second chance. I don't believe in second changes. I will not pity you. There is only one way out of this situation, and it is through death. There is a reason why I’m known as the grim reaper of death because if you have done or tried anything and I found out , you will end up dead. It is as if you have signed your own death certificate when you betray me, steal from me or try anything to destroy the Russian mafia. No one knows that the boss of the Russian mafia is a woman because no one knew my father had a daughter. Everyone in the underworld only knew that he had one son and a daughter who was killed so everyone just assumed th
It was the following day, and I was leaving for Italy in a hour. Me and papa were standing outside hugging each other saying goodbye. Papa and I have a very special bond with each other. Since I'm his only daughter that is left he is very protective over me. Papa had a special bond with my brothers and not me when we grew up and I never knew why. He would always show my brothers love and my little sister Lucy but never me. The day I woke uo in the hospital I was a different person, the person papa started to love and we become close with each other, and we began to have a special bond. The father and daughter bond that I always wanted. After mama and Lucy died ,papa speeded a lot of time with me and not my brothers as he used to, but I never questioned him why he stopped and wasn't spending time with my brothers like he used to. He gave me more attention, taking me every where with him, leaving my brother's at the mansion."Papa, you have to let me go." I said smilling."Little one ple
Right now, we were sitting in Alexander's office and to think that he was afraid of blood when we grew up and today, he is a neurosurgeon. When we grew up, he would always pass out of the sight of a little blood or when he smelled it."Nice office." I said looking around.I looked back at Alexander, and he was glaring at me.He said nothing but I could see he had a lot to ask and say but he was holding himself back."I still can't believe that you become a neurosergeon. To think you were afraid of blood when we grew up but I geuss my little brother grew out of it. You aren't that little boy who always passed out for hours at the sight of blood." I said smilling thinking back at the memories."I'm not you're little brother. We are the same age.""I'm three minutes older than you. So , I'm the oldest one and you are the youngest. That makes you my little brother." I said sitting back in the seat and crossing my legs smilling at him."It's only three minutes." Alexander said crossing his a
I tried standing up, but little Marcus pulled me down and I almost fell on my knees, but I quickly regained my balance. I pulled his head away a little bit to wipe away his tears , but he hid his face back in my neck."Little Marcus." I called out to him."Yes." He said pulling his face out of my neck, looking at me."Aunt Sophia is sorry." I said wiping his tears away. "Why did you leave me?" Little Marcus asked. "I did it to keep you save my little Marcus. I had to leave to protect you all. Aunt Sophia didn't want to leave you, but I had no choice. I won't leave you again, I promise.""Pinky promise." He said sticking his pinkie out towards me. "Pinky promise." I said taking his pinkie into myne."You must be Marcus's aunt Sophia." The teacher said walking towards us with the little boy."I prefer miss Romano." I said with a toneless voice standing up with little Marcus. "Of course, my apologies." The teacher said clearing her throat. "Elijah when is your daddy coming to get you
It was the next day, and it was twelve o'clock in the morning. There was two hours left before I have to go to headquarters. So, I was on my way to the bank to put my engagement ring in my deposit box.It has been seven years since I Iost Nikolai and our unborn baby boy. I came to terms with myself after seven years and finally accepted that they were gone and that I won't see them again. I came to terms with myself that they were dead and no matter what I do it won't bring them back. I accepted that I had lost the love of my life and our baby, and I moved on.I decided it was time I let go of him. I know even if I move on, I won't forget him because of the memories I have of us together. That is the hard part of having memories of someone who was once in your life and then suddenly wasn't anymore. You start thinking about the times you were together, where you were happy with each other and then you realise that it's just memories. You won't get to see that person ever again to make m
Ten minutes past already since the robbers entered the Mist. They lined al of us up and collected our phones. I had my burner phone with me and through it in the bag. Angela stood across from me with little one in her arms. Little one hid his face in her neck crying that he wants his papa. Everyone's looked down crying softly to them self, being scared to death of being killed. I looked at Angela and none of this affected her in anyway.She wasn't scared as the rest of the people. Angela is serrounded by danger.She lives a dangerous live, and this is nothing compared to when you go to war."Sir, we have a problem." One of the men said looking over at Angela and little one.The one who was charge, grabbed the men's arm and walked further away from everyone but stood a few feet away from me. "Sir, that is Octavious Russo's mother and son. All of us will be dead the second we step out of here." I heard the men wispering in their naitive language to the leader."We should let them go sir b
Lucas was following me towards my car asking question after question not getting any response from me. Lucas looked down, not paying attention where he was walking and bumped into me. “Sophia why did you stop walking?” Lucas asked, rubbing his forehead.“Shoot the glass Lucas.” I said, stepping to the side, nodding towards my car.“What…….why?” Lucas asked, sounding confused.“I know you have a gun on you, shoot the glass.It’s tinted glass, I can’t break it without drawing attention to us because they are going to wonder how I did it , because even a gun can’t break it. So shoot at it and then I will break it further. ”I said, stepping in front of him.“Sophia, I ca………”Lucas was cut off by the sound of glass breaking. He looked at Sophia , and her eyes quickly went black and then back to normal again. “Khaalida.” Lucas said in a soft voice to himself.“Sophia, you’re bleeding.” Lucas said, looking down at my hand.Looking down at my hand, little pieces of glass were stuck, while blo
Staring out of the window of the private jet, looking at the beautiful sunset. We were on our way back to Italy. We left around 6 o’clock this afternoon and have been in the air for an hour already and will be arriving in about an hour and a half maybe in Rome, since it was 7 o’clock already.Damien was sitting across from, sipping on his glass of scots on the rocks. God damn pussy, can’t drink it without ice because according to him it's too strong and the ice helps a little bit. Laying my head back , resting my eyes from all the exhaustion I felt. The past three days I’ve been busy non stop barely getting any sleep and papa nagging on my head to look after myself. I don’t have time to rest when I’m responsible for the protection and well being of my mafia and their family’s.The past three days here in Italy I couldn’t stop thinking about little one and Angela and when I boarded the private jet there was this thought at the back of my head about them.. Will I be able to completely
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
It's been two day's since I've returned to Russia and I've been working non stop. Turns out that the people who've done my surgery resigned that same day and disappeared off the face of the earth.Looking at these file's of the three people who were responsible for my surgery. Tracking every single one of them down, bringing them back to Russia. For the past two day's I've send my men out to where two of them were hiding. We are still trying to find the third person's location. Yesterday it was Savastian Baladin, and today we discovered where Valik Petrov was hiding. A few of my men went to get him, leaving 4 o'clock this morning and will be back tonight.Savastian wasn't talking, saying he was sworn to secrecy but he did give us the last person's name who we already had but what he said was that she was the one who did the surgery, removed it, Ulya Mozorov. It was difficult to find her because she changed everything about her, her identity and even how she looks, unfortunately we cou
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. Putting one between my lips, I took a long drag, puffing out the smoke. Closing my eyes I layed my head
"Miss Sophia." Someone whispered next to me. Knowing who the little voice belongs to I opened my eye's giving him a small smile."Morning little one." 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." I said looking at the clock on the desk, across the room."I'm going with pappa today, miss Sophia. He is taking me with him to the company, and then we are going to go buy me new toys and then we're going to the park." Little one said sounding exited. "Sounds fun, but what are you doing here ,isn't your pappa waiting for you? I said ruffling his hair."Miss Sophia is going with us." Little one cheered, standing up jumping on the bed."W-what?" I inquired sounding confused. Where is this suddenly coming from. Why don't I know about this. I have my doctor's appointment today and Angela was supposed to go with me. Why am I going with Octavious and little on
Right now we were having dinner. It was was 7 o'clock and almost little one's bedtime. Octavious had this routine for him ,when to wake up, when to go to sleep, when it was screen time, so that he can learn from a young age to respect what his father tell him but today Octavious made an exception for him to watch television whenever he wants because of the play date we had.Little one was in the living room watching cartoons while I was setting the table. "Nonna, ho fame." (Grandma I'm hungry)"Abbiamo quasi finito, Elijah, mancano solo pochi minuti." (It's almost done Elijah, just a few minutes.) Angela said laughing from the kitchen."Elijah, potresti andare a chiamare Leo e Lucas e dire loro di scendere, la cena è pronta." (Elijah would you go call Leo and Lucas and tell them to come down, dinner is ready.) Angela said walking into the living room."Sophia would you help me with plating dinner." Angela said walking back to the kitchen.Helping Angela with plating dinner for everyon
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
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
“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
