Chap 34

This is the last chapter then it will remain as ongoing.

Dad's POV

Walking back and forth in my room , as the clock tick with every step I took. It's been 293 seconds and 293 steps I took and my breathing became faster with every second.

We need this alliance.
We cannot lose it.
It's the only way we can do to protect Iris from the Russian.

They've been sending threats to us to harm Iris in any mean ways to kill her with no mercy. We don't want anything bad happened to Iris , she just finally came back and we loved her.

There's no way we are losing her again.

Never.

Iris's POV

I sat down and stifled my tears that welled from deep inside as I wiped every solemn tear that falls on my cheeks.
Looking up , to see all my family looking at me with appall looks.

Shit , they're gonna wonder how I know him.
Shit.

I put on a blank straight face as if that roller coaster didn't happen at all , "My Wife and child will be here soon" Mateo said , breaking the silence.

"Okay , let's wait for them" Dad replied. I wonder how Mateo's child will look like , like I know that she's my age and I never knew that they had a kid.

When Mateo 'adopt' me , he said he had no kids because his wife, Charlotte, is infertile. I kind of pitied them because I know Charlotte personally and she is a very heartwarming person.

She encouraged me through all my tough times when I was training and would often give me hugs as if I was her own. So the only path for them is adoption.

Giselle's POV

Me and Mum we are currently running late to this important meeting which is supposed to be an alliance with the Italian mafia.

We were on a girls' date and were suppose to be out for only 3 hours but it became 5 so we are basically dead late.

Right now I couldn't be bothered to be dressed well as the important thing is to be there because the Russian are sending threats to my parents to harm me and they won't allow that so the only way is to form an alliance.

I'm also pretty excited to see the long lost daughter of the Italian mafia. Heard they got her back few months and she seems to be a sort of rebel and coincidentally the same age as me.

16.

I can already sense that we are gonna click together. We drove to the near end of the roadway which shows a big mansion and through the glass windows , I could see all of them assemble there.

We quickly parked and walked to the door and pressed the door bell.

"Great to see you , faster come in" the Ex-Italian mafia guy greeted and gestures us to come in. As I took a step into their mansion , my eyes were filled with how bright and beautiful those lights are.

I looked over to Dad to see him giving questioned looks as to why mum and I aren't wearing fancy dresses.

I looked around to find 'the Italian long lost Daughter whom was found' , and saw a familiar light brown head , with slightly teary brown eyes in a fancy black dress.

All those details just seems so familiar like I had seen her and she kind of resembles my childhood bestfriend but there's no way she's here.

I further inspected her. My eyes widen as I slowly take in all the details from her.

She... she's Iris , my childhood bestfriend.

She's the Daughter of the Italian mafia. She's here. I thought I would never see her again.
I didn't even give a proper goodbye to her when I was adopted.
I just left ... without a word.
I left her with them when she needed me.
I wonder if she hates me for that.
Her eyes widen when the realisation had hit her too.

Iris's POV

I never thought I would see her again. I thought she was gone ... forever and I would never see her again. She left without a word but Noah and I both assumed she was taken away and cried for a month , blaming ourselves that it was our fault that she was gone.

But here she is standing right in front of me , looking just like how she was 9 years ago.

Not a speck of her had changed. She's still looking like the brave girl she used to be.

"I missed you so much" , running up to her and wrapping my arms over her shoulders. "Me too" she hugged back as my tears stained on her shirt.

"How'd you know each other ?" Mateo spoke. "I'll explain it later but in short , we WERE best friends, still"

This is all there is for this. Yet again i'm so sorry to leave this story ongoing.
