My Boss

Finally. We have landed in Sicily! I don't usually fly international, so the length of the flight definitely messed with my sleep.
Stepping out of the tunnel into the airport I could feel the memories rushing back to me as if I were stepping off that plane as the woman I once was before.

"Come ma chérie, we want to make it to the hotel before the sun starts to set."

My mom came up behind me resting her hand on the right of waist as she smiled up at me. I smiled wrapping my arm around her shoulders. When I started to walk Noah came running from the other side of my mom to grab my hand.

"Mama! Mama! Look!"

He pointed at everything around us amazed by the smallest of things, but his smile was all I cared about. He was happy and so was I.

I watched them from a distance. I saw their smiles, I heard their laughter, and I could feel their love lifting from their bodies. I could've been right there beside the both of them, holding what was mine, but I couldn't.
Anger set a blaze through me as I thought of how my happiness was ripped away from me. I was blindsided once, but now I can fully see and someone will be paying a price. The price of death.

"Gina!"

"Yes sir?"

"I want her in the house I assigned and the boy at the exact school, understood?"

I didn't wait for her answer I was to angered to be still. I stood from my position leaving the area, going straight to the car that awaited outside for me. My patience was thinning and my anger was rising. I wanted to strike now, but I couldn't. My farther taught me better, I had a I lay low until the time was right.
The car pulled up in front of my brothers place. Getting out I thanked my driver and told him an estimated time to be back. Closing the door shut I made my way inside the building, up the stairs, and to the front door of my brothers apartment. Knocking only once I waited a good minute, before my shirtless brother.

"Do you always answer the door like this?"

I pushed him aside welcoming myself into the apartment going straight for the kitchen.

"Hello to you to little brother."

As I rummaged my way through the refrigerator a woman descended done the steps into the kitchen where my brother and I stood.

"Oh qualcuno ha avuto fortuna ieri sera." (Oh someone got lucky last night.)

I smirked leaning back on the counter eating the bowl of grapes.
I watched as she approached him with her sultry walk and lust filled eyes, kissing him on the cheek and leaving the apartment.

"Prostitute? Didn't know they were your type."

I joked throwing a grape up in the air catching it in my mouth. My brother sighed while watching my actions closely trying to figure out my thoughts, but it was very clear how I felt.

"Brother you know you can't do it now."

"What's taking so long? She wouldn't be this smart."

My brother lead me into his living room sitting me down on his couch.

"Last I heard they've spilt ways."

What are these two playing at? I needed to know now. I wanted to end this as quickly as it started. My biggest priority was getting my family back and this time nothing, and I mean nothing was going to stop me.
Standing from my brothers coach I buttoned the single button in my suit jacket getting ready to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to force them to make a move. "
