Reunited

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 please be careful while you are in Italy. I know you can protect yourself but please be save. I don't want to lose you." Papa said stroking my hair.

"I will papa and what about my brothers. I need to protect them too." I asked papa.

When I mentioned my brothers I could feel papa's body language change.

"Them too." Papa said pulling away.

" I won't be here for five months papa. Make sure you have breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. I will call you to remind you since you forget sometimes to eat okay." I said embracing papa in a hug again.

"Be save and call me when you have landed in Italy." Papa said

"I will papa." I replied back.

Papa pulled away and gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"Love you, little one." Papa said.

"I love you too papa." I said back to papa with a smile.

The only people I smile at is papa, Lucas, Alaxander and his family.

" Everything ready." I asked Damien and just like that my smile disappeared.

"Yes boss." Damien answered.

"Move out." I shouted and everyone that was going with me walked towards the SUV's.

"Sophia." Papa called out to me.

I turned around and looked at papa.

"Protect your brother. Keep them save."

Why wouldn't he say brothers, what does he mean by I have to protect my brother. I nodded my head and climbed into the SUV. The drive to the hangar was quiet. I was deep in my thoughts. I was thinking about allot of things.

Who murdered mama and Lucy. Who killed Alessandro and who was trying to kill Alexander and Lucas while they were still in Russia. Someone knew that papa had three sons and two daughters, and they were trying to kill my brothers. It is weird because they never tried to kill me, only Alexander and Lucas but why only them. I decided to send them to Italy, and everything did just stop but I didn't understand why. I'm still trying to figure out who was after my brothers.

Why am I doubting papa. Papa told me that the people who are responsible for mama, Lucy and Alessandro's death were taken care of. All of them are dead, six feet underground. Then why am I having this feeling that something is not right, and that, that people or person was still alive. Walking around free. I do believe papa, but something keeps telling me that papa was not telling me something. That he was hiding something from me but why would he want to lie to me. If it was about mama, Lucy and Alessandro, I should know but why would papa lie about their murderers being dead. I trust papa and believe that he would tell me one day when he feels the time is right but when will that be.

"Boss were here." Damien said from the front seat.

I climbed out of the SUV and walked towards the private jet.

Since the flight to Italy is seven hours and twenty-nine minutes I will do some work to distract myself from everything from the past. I don't want to start thinking about why papa would want to lie to me. I know he would never hide something from me without a reason but anyway let's get a few paperwork done.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Please put your seatbelts on we will me landing in Italy in 30 minutes." The pilot said over the intercom.

Time sure does fly by when you are busy. My meetings start's in three day's so now I can rest and be ready for a long day that will be waiting for me. Isabella did already send me my schedule for that day, and I have alot to do. At 10 o'clock in the morning, I have a meeting with the head of the police deparment. At one o'clock in the afternoon a meeting with the architecture company for the new hotel I want to build in Italy. Four o'clock in the afternoon a meeting with my lawyer. Seven o'clock at night dinner with the CEO of Ferrari Industrial to discuss possible partnership. At nine o'clock a meeting will be held at the headquarters to discuss the Mexican problem and then eleven o'clock will be the last one.

" I'm going to meet Alexander. You don't need to follow me. You can go ahead and and let the others know we are here. Let everyone know that I will come by tomorrow around two o'clock. I want written reports on everything that had happened for the past two years on my desk when I arrive." I ordered Damien before I stood up and exit the private jet.

"Rest well we start training in two day's.' I said to the bodyguards.

"The keys to the Audi RS6 Quattro and I expect everyone to be ready in two days.PONYAL! (Understood!)

"Yes boss." Everyone said in sync.

"Good." I said before walking off to the vehicle.

Papa is probably sitting with his phone in his hand waiting for my call. I should call him since we landed a few minutes ago." I thought to myself while climbing into the car.

"Little one I thought something had happened." Papa said picking the phone up on the first ring. The phone didn't even ring for five seconds and he picked it up already.

"I'm fine papa. Were you sitting with your phone in you hand again waiting for my call." I said while putting on my seatbelt.

"No, I was staring at it for the last seven hours waiting for your call."

"You don't need to worry anymore papa, your little one is fine."

"Okay, little one."

"Poca, papa, lublu tebya." ( Bye papa, love you)

"Lublu tebya, malysh." ( Love you little one)

These five months I won't let anything distract me or anyone. I'm only here for business and to protect Lucas, Alexander and his family until the Mexican mafia is taken care off for good. I'm going to end them once and for all. I'm only here for business reason and nothing else.

I wonder how Alexander and Lucas looks like. Do they still look the same since I last saw them two years ago. My nephew is already three years old. I last saw him when he was still a baby and it was his first birthday. He was very sad when I told him that I had to leave. I told him that I was going to my penthouse, and he cried because he didn't want me to leave him alone.

Flashback

"Little Marcus did you enjoy your birthday?" I asked stroking his hair.

"Yes, because aunt Sophia was here." He said giving me a big smile.

"Little Marcus I have to leave right now it's already eight o'clock and you should go wash up and go to bed."

"Why are you leaving me." Little Marcus said between sobs.

It breaks my heart to see him like this but it's for the best. I can protect them by going back to Russia and never visiting them again. I know it will break my brother's when they find out that I had left without saying anything to them but it's for the best. That is the only way I can protect them by staying away from them. I don't know how but someone found out that papa had two sons and a daughter. They tried to kill them, but I had stopped every single one without them knowing. Even though I have caught and killed every single one I don't believe it will stop. So , I believe it will be best if I leave their lives and let them live peacefully without looking over their shoulders everywhere they go all the time.

"I have to go home little Marcus. I also need to sleep because I have work tomorrow."

"Please don't leave , you can sleep here." Little Marcus said between sobs.

Marcus was looking at me with pleading eyes. I'm leaving four o'clock in the morning. I can't sleep over because it will be harder for me to leave them but if my nephew wants me to sleep over then I will stay with him for the last time.

"Okay, I will stay."

"Can I sleep with aunt Sophia tonight then." Little Marcus you are making this very hard for me right now. I don't know how I'm going to leave when I know that you will be looking for me when you wake up and realize I'm not here anymore. It hurts me to know you will be sad and cry because of me.

For a one year old , he speaks very good but what can I say he is a Ivanov.

"Yay." Little Marcus screamed.

I'm going to miss you little Marcus. Please don't be sad forever, aunt Sophia is doing this to keep you save and wanting you to grow up with both your parents in your life. Aunt Sophia loves you.

End of flasback

This is it. After two years I'm going to see Alexander again. How would he react when he sees me? Will he be happy, sad or angry? I won't blame him if he is going to be angry when he sees me because I did just leave in the middle of the night without saying anything to them. I won't blame him if he doesn't want to see me.

It seems that the hospital is not that busy today. Should I just go in or wait until his shift ends. I should probably go in because his shifts would always end tonight at 10 o'clock and I want to see my nephew.

The hospital looks different. It doesn't look the same as when I saw it two years ago and it seems that they have a new receptionist.

"How may I help you?"

"I'm looking for Alexander Romano."

"May I ask who you are?" She asked picking up the phone on her desk.

"Sophia Romano, his sister.

The woman dailled a number and someone answered.

"Doctor Romano, someone is here at the front desk looking for you. She says her name is Sophia Romano, your si......."

"Doctor Romano are you there." The woman asked

"Doctor Romano?"

"I'm sorry but he didn't say anything he end the call."

I don't know but not long after the woman told me Alexander did end the call did, I hear someone came running down he hall behind me. I turned around towards the sound and there stood my twin brother with tears in his eyes.

"Sophia." Alexander yelled running towards me.

I opened my arms for him, and he ran into my arms crying. He held me close to him as if I would disappear. He hid his face in my hair while he was crying. I couldn't help but smile because Alexander was crying like a baby in my arms, and he didn't care if people were staring at us.

"I'm here Alexander......... You're sister's back."

A tear wanted to slip out, but I quickly wiped it away. I stopped crying the day my oldest brother Alessandro was killed. I made a wove to never cry again because it shows weakness.
