Alexa Russo.

Michael

" I want to see her" Mama cries

"Si, she's here, after all these years, we finally found her" Papa cries

I clench my jaw, my blood filling with rage. Those fuckers that took Alexa were dead. We killed them. But I should of kept them alive for fucks sake.

I haven't seen my father cry since Alexa disappeared. He was the Capo of our Mafia.

The Italian mafia.

He was ruthless, he was cold, he was harsh. The only people who got to see the softer side was us and a few family members. He was worse when Alexa went missing.

Sure, we laughed, we enjoyed family time, we continued life but there was always, always the missing part. Our Alexa.

When I took over the Mafia, I was. AM worse then my dad, but knowing my little sister is alive, so close, that makes me want to curl into a ball and cry.

"Papa, a minute" I get up and head towards the balcony

"What is it son"

" I know she's our sister, but she's got a family. We need to convince her to stay with us, if it gets out we found our principessa, her life will be in danger. If we tell her we're in the Mafia now it might scare her off. Fuck" I run my hand through my hair and think through the options

" Not only that, Papa just for reassurance I'm going to get a DNA fest done. I've got Sam getting a background check on Alexa"

Papa nods " Good job son. And as far as convincing her goes, baby steps. You know when I found out I had a daughter I was much more excited then when I found out about you boys"

I watch as Papa leans on the railings with a distant look

" I've always wanted a daughter, I know it's difficult in the Mafia world and all. But I thought I could protect her. She wasn't just my princess but, god she was our happiness" Papa sighs

"Papa, I promise you, we're going to get our little princess back and we will protect her, there's more of us now, you aren't alone."

"Luca said her laugh was contagious" I turn back and see mama leaning on the doorframe

"Si" I smile " She was messing around with some guy, couldn't keep her laughter in, her laugh made you laugh."

Mama smiles and wipes under her eyes. I watch as Papa goes and hugs her, kissing her forehead
"La Mia Regina, we have found our daughter now, you need not worry, our family will be complete" Papa promises her
(My queen)

I smile as Dom and Luca come

"My boy" papa goes and hugs Luca " You found your twin"

"Si Papa. When she saw me, I saw the look on her face, she knows I look familiar"  Luca gives a small smile.

I love this. My family, the men, we were always to the point, only showed emotions in front of our parents, and never sadness, just love and happiness. But now, Alexa hasn't even joined our family but she's got an effect on us already.

She is our sister after all.

I'm brought out my thoughts when Sam calls. I shush everyone and go back into the room

" What did you find out?" I get straight to it.

" Alexa River. 19. Her parents died 3 years ago by drunk driver. She's got a brother Jason whos 23, married with a daughter Amy. Her godfather/uncle is Alaric. Godmother is Jessy and their son Liam. They're the only family she's got.

She's in university studying to be a Lawyer. And she's adopted."

We all sit silently and process the information given.
I look at my brothers and I know they're feeling the same pain. Alexa has a brother. The brothers we were supposed to be.

"Capo, there's something else." Sam hesitates

"What is it" Papa barks

Sam sighs and continues " She was raped. In school, senior year, but she didn't let it affect her life for long , she started a whole protest and put the guy behind bars, not only him but some other guys that had assaulted other girls."

What.

Raped

My sister, my little baby. Was raped.

I saw red as I stood up " I want the fuckers name who raped her. Bring him to the home basement!" I command

" Oh my god." 

I turn back when i hear my mum. She's got tears rolling down her face as she sobs in our fathers neck.

"My baby!" She cries " First she gets taken away from us,  she has her adoptive parents taken away from here an-and she  gets assaulted!"

Papa looks up to me with a dangerous glint in his eyes and nods.

That fucker will get what he deserves. 

" Mama, she's going to be sunbathing in an hour. How about we all freshen up and head there and we can see her Si" Dominic says hugging her.

"Si, Si" Mama nods

We all get up and head towards our rooms.

I take a seat on my bed, with my head on my hands and shake my head.

"Michael." 

I look up and see Mama.

"Si"

"Stai bene?" (you okay)

"Si. Non ci posso credere" I sigh ( I just can't beleive it

"Dopo tutti questi anni l'abiamo finalmente trovata"
(After all these years we finally found her) 

Mama takes a seat next to me and runs her hands through my hair making me shut my eyes

"Non vedo l'ora di vederla"
( I can't wait to see her)

"Me too Mama, me too"
