The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 54- Unwelcome Visitor
LANA'S POV"What are you doing here, Costa?" I got up from the couch and felt like I was going to hyperventilate."I came to talk to you about the DNA, Lana. You requested it, remember?" He walked towards us and stood just a little distance from me. I wished that he did not show up whenever I seemed to be happy in my life. "I know, but you have no right to show up in here whenever you want!" "Lana, it's okay," Dax tried to calm me down. "No, he needs to leave. I don't want you here, Costa." I sneered at him. “Yes, leave Costa. You are not welcome here.” Xavier stood by my side.Whether Costa was truly my father or not, I didn't want him to be in my life. The damage had already been done and nothing was ever going to make up for the fact that I lost my parents when I was young. I mourned them for years until I eventually accepted that this was how things were meant to be for me. Not all of us were meant to grow up in a cozy home with our parents, and I made peace that I was amongs
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 55- Betrayal and Heartbreak
XAVIER'S POV"You knew Lana 12 years ago?" Dax asked me when I came down to the living room. I took a long breath. "It was at Boliver. I didn't even know it was her all this time, but I ran away that day!" It felt like the walls were closing in on me. My past had come again to tear Lana away from me. I didn't know what to do or not to do. My mind was all over the place. "Wait a minute, you went to Boliver? When and how?" Dax was shocked. He knew everything else I did, but not the incident at Boliver when I quit being a street thug with my friends. "The school trip I told you and Dad about was made up. I was going to Boliver with my friends for a job that we wanted done..."(12 YEARS AGO, XAVIER'S MEMORY)"We wait here for the people who are going to do the business transaction, everybody understand?" JJ said after briefing us about the people who were going to do a drug business transaction at the ally around sunset. We hid behind the waste bins and brainstormed how we were going t
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 56- Article
LANA'S POVI stared at the ceiling while I lay on the bed. I wanted to feel numb and not shed a tear after everything that happened. The thought that Xavier was there the day my life changed forever, broke me more than I had imagined. I loved him but wanted to hate him at the same time, but I couldn't.I wanted to hate him and feel nothing for him anymore. He seemed to be everything that I was not supposed to fall in love with. Perhaps this was another sign from the universe that we were not meant to be. As much as I loved him and my heart broke when I imagined him not with me, I had to find it in my heart to let him go. "Lana?" Dax knocked on the door again. The desperation in his voice to see me open the door was evident. But I hesitated, I didn't want to cry when I saw his face. "I want to be alone, Dax!" I yelled loud enough for him to hear from the other side of the door. "Please open the door..." He continued to beg. I sighed and got off the bed and went to the door. I opene
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 57- Boliver Invasion
XAVIER’S POVCosta and I met the following day and drove to Boliver to find JJ and Milo. His source from Boliver confirmed that they were still around there and had made a great name for themselves. We had to be very careful when going to deal with such men. But we had all the back up we needed. Costa’s men were on their way behind us to make sure that we were not easily outnumbered if things were to go otherwise.JJ was a very egoistic and temperament maniac. We had to be very careful when going to deal with someone like him, even though Costa insisted that JJ was the one who had to be careful when dealing with him, especially when it came to his daughter. And that was no doubt. Costa had a reputation of killing his enemies without a second thought. People knew that even though all evidence was available to put him behind bars, he was untouchable even by law.But just like JJ, Boliver was his playground and no law ruled there against him. And now, we were going to his den to provoke
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 58- Lost
LANA'S POV"Lana, you need to call me back. This is bad." "Lana, I know you're there. Call me back.""I know you're probably feeling embarrassed, but all your remaining online drawings have sold out. All of them. There is always a silver lining in every situation, Lana. Don't give up yet.""Call me, we need to talk." After listening to Mrs. McClain's voice messages, I switched off my phone and tossed it on the passenger seat. I knew that if I tried to call her, she was going to try with everything in her to talk me out of running away instead of staying. I didn't want her to try and make me feel better when she knew too that my life was over. I wanted to drive until I ran out of gas and found myself in a place that I couldn't recognize and no one could recognize me. I wanted to be alone. I wanted those walls that came down when I met Dax and Xavier to build up again and keep me from pain. I wanted to feel nothing and be completely oblivious to the direction that my life was facing.
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 59- Looking For Lana
DAX’S POVWhen I woke up and realized that Lana was not in bed, I got up and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I was certain that she went out for a jog or was in the kitchen having breakfast. Either way, I was impatient to see her and wrap my arms around her. I wanted her to know that I was here for her and was not going to leave her side, no matter what happened in the past. I wanted her to trust me enough to not hide anything that bothers her from me again.When I was done, I went back to the bedroom and put on comfortable clothes. I picked up my phone and called Xavier. I needed to make sure that he was all right too and did not find himself in another trouble again because he was stressed out. I hated to see him and Lana not speaking to each other again. I knew that that they loved each other, and that this was going to affect them in some ways, which was not going to be beneficial for any of us. I hoped again that they could find their way back to each oth
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 60- A Friend
XAVIER’S POVWhen I lifted my head and saw that Costa was dead, I went to his side to make sure, and he was truly dead. JJ didn’t miss but shot him right through his heart and he died instantly. I took my cell phone from my pocket and switched it back on so that I can call Dax. There were still gunshots outside, so I needed a plan before I could head out to leave.“Xavier?”“Costa is dead.”“What do you mean he’s dead?”“I came with him to Boliver. JJ just shot him and ran away,” I went to the door and opened it slightly so that I could see what was going on.“Send me your location, I’ll come and get you.”Dax then hung up the call and I returned my cell phone into my pocket. I then went to Costa’s body and took his cell phone, gun, and other belongings I found with him, except his clothes. I then sneaked out of JJ’s office as quietly as I could. Costa’s men and JJ’s men were shooting at each other down the stairs and I went towards the hallway to see if there was no other way leading
The Entanglent With The Russo Brothers 61- Lana's Lead
DAX’S POVAfter arguing about whose fault, it was that Lana decided to leave, I roared the engine to life and drove back to Highwaters. The ride home was quiet and there was a thick tension in the air. It was dark and we had a stranger at the back seat that Xavier hadn’t introduced to me yet. There was no telling if this new friend of his could turn and stab us in the back.“What’s his name?” I decided to ask.“His name is Rico and he’s my old friend,” Xavier answered while he looked away from me.“Are you mad because of Sasha?”“You should have killed the bitch!” He snapped.“Why is killing your first instinct solution?”“Because at least half the problems get solved, Dax! The article and the video wouldn’t have been released on the internet if she was dead!”“Enough, Xavier!” I stopped the car in the middle of the road. “Killing is not a solution, and I wouldn’t have killed Sasha to prove a point!”“You should have,” he answered.I rolled my eyes and started driving again. After an
