My eyes shot open and I groaned, my hand still hurt .

"Glad to see your awake", Alex said walking over to my bed.

He had a glass of water in his hand.

"Hi Allie", I was smiling.

"You okay?", he asked dropping the glass on the table beside my bed.

"My arm still hurt", I said.

"Sorry about that, I'm just glad you're okay", she said touching my cheeks.

Alex had changed a lot, he was much more matured now, calm, reserved, manly, and so hot.

He was the one in the family with the lightest green color, it was so bright and sharp, he had light brown hair too, you'd almost think it'd blonde.

He was well built, very muscular and it was sexy, and he had this silver necklace on from when we were kids, it was his father's.

He was the cuter version of Damon, and he's always had my back, how come I've actually never noticed him?

"I missed you, a lot", he said calmly.

"Like you moved to America and shut everyone out, completely, I tried reaching out to you, severally, even one time I was in America for a week I tried, tried getting to you but... it seemed like you just didn't want to see me".

"It's not like that Alex, I'm, I'm so sorry about shutting everyone out, I don't regret it tho, but I regret shutting you out. I just... I wanted a fresh start I mean, I just found out about the whole Mafia thing and and you were all involved and no one told me anything about it, I honestly didn't know what to do, I just... needed space, and time alone, I'm sorry Alex", I was being honest.

He sighed, "A lot has changed Blu, it's, it's scary how things are now, I was always the one to fantasize how things would always be the same, but, it's not anymore ".

"I'm still the same ", I said.

"You're not, Blu you're so, different now, honestly, it's like I don't even know you again, I mean it's good, I'm happy you've gotten your confidence and everything, but now it's like you don't need anybody anymore, like you don't need us".

I sighed, "Alex, I've just gotten to know a lot of things and, my eyes are open now and I'm beginning to love my space and peace more than anything in the world honestly, that's just it, I'm still me", I said.

He didn't look convinced, "C'mon Alex, you're my best friend in the world, nothing is changing that", I said smiling.

"I wanna change that ", he muttered.

"What?", I asked confused.

He opened his mouth to speak and then the door opened, Damon walked in.

He stared at us for some seconds then he cleared his throat.

"How are you feeling Blu?"

"I'm okay, thank you for your help", I said.

"We contacted Ricci and he invited you to come over to his house for dinner, he as it was just a warning and he wants to talk to you, one on one, but I told him he should fuck -"

"Great, arrange a meeting with him tomorrow", I said.

"No I'm not going to, why would you even think of that, he obviously wants to kill you", he said

"Damon, set a meeting with him"

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm going to meet him and have a fucken conversation with him", I said in an obvious tone.

"That's not how it works, it's a trap "

"Damon, I need not to repeat myself -"

"Blu that's pretty dangerous", Alex said.

"I'm aware, to kill the others you have to kill one", I said.

"And so what if they kill you first?", Damon asked.

"Let's find out ".

"Blu this is a bad idea", Damon complained soon as we walk into his mansion, guns were already pointed at us .

"Where's your boss?", I asked one of them ignoring Damon.

"Upstairs", one said as they led us upstairs pointing guns at us..

"Well well well, if it isn't the Hastings brothers and their little pet Blu", Ricci said coming into the light.

Finally.

"You invited us for dinner, get on with it I'm famished ", I said walking straight to him.

"You really walked into my house? unafraid? with four bodyguards??", he asked laughing.

I turned around and I saw the dinning table filled with food.

I walked straight there and sat down.

"I have a question for you Ricci", I said tossing grapes into my mouth.

"Were you or were you not involved in my father's murder?"

"I do know that I will be involved in yours ", he sent laughing.

"What beef did you have against my father? what exactly did he do?", I asked.

"Power struggle, he betrayed us for power and money, once a traitor we'll hunt you to death ", he said.

"Who do you mean by us?", I asked.

"Our friends group, we promised to have each other back, he betrayed us and also got involved in the murder if some of my men, I swore that I would end his lineage ", he said.

"Coward ", I said.

"What the fuck did you just call me?", he raged.

"A coward, you can't handle someone being ahead of you, you're sad he got what you wanted, you're a pathetic looser, why didn't you strive to be a better person, but no you let out your frustration by revenge, you're a fool", he raged and brought a gun to my head.

The boys immediately brought out their gun to defend me.

"Step the fuck away from her", Damon said.

He laughed, "Four of you against all the men in my house, you're meat to my dogs ", he said .

I pushed his gun away from my head

"Ricci, I don't think you did your assignment about me first before you attacked, I'm guessing they just told you he had a daughter, and you assumed I was normal ", I said smiling.

I stood up.

"Okay boys that's enough now, switch sides", I announced.

Immediately, all the men there switched their guns from pointing at me to pointing at him.

I could see shock on his face, and that of the boys.

"Tf?", Jerry muttered.

"What is going on?? why are you all turning against me, I am your boss, she's the enemy, attack her not me ", Ricci yelled.

"Blu what's going on?", Tobi asked.

I smiled, "Ricci, I own the black axe, you only rented them, you never asked who their main boss was? it's me", I said.

He slowly began to drop his gun till he was on the floor.

"Now I'm going to ask again one more time, and this time nicely, were you involved in my father's murder that night?".

'I swear, I swear I wasn't there, it was the others, I only tracked his location I don't know what exactly happened, they just called me and Told me mission complete, I swear, it's the others not me", he said.

"Gabriel?", I called one of them .

"Yes Queen?".

"Finish him", I said.

He cocked his gun.

"No no no no", he screamed and they shot him twice in the head.

"I am deeply sorry ma'am, about the other day, we just had to make it look real", he apologized.

I nodded, "I understand, it's okay I forgive you".

", What do I do with his body?".

"Put it in a package and send it to the others, tell them Blu said hi", I said and then turned to the boys.

You could see the shock, surprise and even horror on their faces.

Damon walked up to me.

"Who the fuck are you?" he asked shocked.

I smiled, "Oh me? I'm the Queen".
