Alexa Russo.

Roberto

"She's gone."

I look up and see a teary eyed Laura. I sigh and get up holding out my arms to her "Come here Amore"

"I know she had to go but it's just so ughh. We just got her back Rob!" She sniffles

"Sai che il mio cuore si spezza vederti così piccola" I whisper into her hair

(You know my heart breaks seeing you like this baby)

"When can we visit our Principessa"

"Darlin-" I start

"Padre" I look up and see our boys at the door of my office. Well my ex office

"Si"

" Are you free to chat? Both of you" Michael walks in

"Si" Laura answers

"Alex landed in Scotland about an hour before we landed here in London. She's okay. I've got a few guards following her" Michael starts

" Good" Laura sighs

" I see Hinkins came around. Ares is under arrest, his gang is now in gathers. Son of a bitch" I smirk

"Si. Its been proved Charles, Damons ex was murdered by Ares and his gang and the dead body in Damons Supposdly grade is too. Damon and Alexa are safe." Michael replies

"So can we go tell her she's our daughter" I rub my fingers over Lauras knuckles " Amore, we have to take baby steps. I think she needs to know we're in the Mafia first"

"Papa, No!" Dominic scolds " Look we do that we'll basically be scaring her off even before she's back."

"Son, if she finds out later on she'll be more hurt and might feel betrayed"

"I agree with your father on this one boys"

"I think the best option is for a month atleast we insert ourselves in her life. I think Jason her brother should know, that way he'll knwo we dont mean any harm, I've also checked him out. He's done a lot for Alexa. He's a good guy"

"Non l'ho visto agire così dolcemente, hai amore?" Larua whispers. I stiffle in a laugh and shake my head "Nope. She's got him wrapped around her finger already!"

"What are you guys whispering abo- you know what i dont even want to know" Luca makes a disgusted face

(I havent seen him act so soft, have you love)

I roll my eyes and nod " Michael I agree with your approach. Jason owns his own company right. Let's him there. Alexa shouldnt find out about this."

"Si Padre" Michael nods

"There's also the matter of her rapist" Dominic gritts his teeth. Just the mention of that has my anger shooting

"That bastard will suffer" I command.

"He's actually being brought to the warehouse. Trust me. He's gonna regret touching a Russo" Luca curls his hand into a fist

" After that bitch pays for his sins there will be no

tension nothing wrong in her life. We'll bring so much happiness into it right boys"

"Si Mama"

"Michael, Do you have Jasons number?"

"Si Padre, i do"

"Call him"

"Si"

I hug my wife closer while i watch Michael ring Jasons number

"Hello. Is this Jason?"

"Yes. Who's speaking?"

" Michael. Micahel Russo. We met in Brazil"

"Ah yes, I remember who you are. How are you?"

"Good. I'd be great if you were free for a chat tommorow?"

"Uh tommorow? We actually just landed today and there's lots on so-"

"It's about Alexa." Michael Inturuts

Silence.

"Alexa? What about Alexa?"

"Look, it's better we meet." Michael rubs his beard. "I'll be in Scotland by 9. Can you meet at 11.

"Uh yeah sure."

"See you then"

Michael looks up and nods as the phone cuts.

"Looks like we're going to Scotland" Laura squeals

"I don't think thats a good idea mama. Let me and Papa go. Once everythings talked about we'll bring you." Michael softens as he sees his mothers condition

"Bu-"

"Mama, it'll be too suspicious" Dominic adds getting up and bringing his mother for a hug.

The Russo men are lots of things. But weak. They are only for this small little family. And tomorrow. tomorrow is the start of Alexa Russo.
