ALEXIS

This is it.

All of my life, and this is what I end up doing. The plan was simple. Leo will show up at his parent's house, pretending to be sorry and what not and that would successfully distract them. Meanwhile, me and Damein will bring out every single one of their defense and then in a few quick swipes, kill every member of Leo's family, except for his aunt.

Leo was all in. He knew what they had done, he knows that this is what they deserve. Plus, once their family I dead, Leo will be claimed as the next rightful heir. Problem solved.

I nodded at Leo from the roof as me and Damien climbed the opposite sides of the house. We didn't risk giving Leo a earpiece, but he did have a camera chip which recorded everything.

"Three gaurds at the south perimeter," I told Damien through my own earpiece. "Five at north, and one at the back gate," I nodded, making a mental map in my head. "You take north, I'll take back and south," I said, loading my sniper. "Love you,"

"Love you too," I said, moving towards the top of the back entrance. The gaurds were lousy. It was child's play to get them all down without raising an alarm.

"That was too easy," I agreed with Damien. "There are no gaurds inside, either they are extremely stupid or extremely smug, in both cases we have an advantage."

"I'm going in through the back entrance, meet me at the top of the stairs," I said, tiptoeing into the room.

I reached the electrical socket and opened the box up. It was old and rusty. I quickly worked to turn the alarm off. "Do you need help with that?" Someone asked from behind me. I froze, my hand clutching my gun in one hand, I turned around.

"Do you need help turning the alarm off?" He asked again, his french accent shining through. "No thanks," I spat. "Very well Darlin' I think I will just inform the gaurds now," not so quick.

Before he could reach for anything, I lunged and flipped him over. "Well, I certainly don't mine this," his tone was suggestive. "Shut the fuck up and tell me who you are," I said, heaving.

"Well, let's just say that I know what your plan is and I can be a very important asset to you," I searched his pockets and took his gun out. Branded on it was the french Mafia symbol. "You're Daniel Ricci," he nodded, still smirking. "Can you let me up now?" I shook my head, "not before you tell me why you want to help."

"Isn't it obvious? I hate my family, they're controlling and when my father dies, I'm supposed to take over, so its a win-win for everyone." I was contemplating it when a very familiar voice broke the silence.

"Allie?" I looked at Damien who was looking down at me with a mixture of hurt and amusement. "Oh, hi." I scrambled off Daniel and helped him up. "I was worried you didn't come, so I came here," Damien said, reaching out to pull me into him. Possessive.

"Who's this?" He asked, his gaze moving to Daniel like a hungry predator. "That's-" "Daniel Ricci" he said, familiarity swarming in his eyes. "Yes,"

"He's going to help us," I said, gesturing towards Daniel who was standing there at awkwardly. "I am," he nodded in agreement. Damien's hand loosened around my waist. My eyes quickly darted towards the house, Leo was stil inside.

"We need to move fast, Dame catch him up with the plan, I'm going in." Damien spun me around and pressed a kiss to my cheek, "Don't die." I smiled, "I'll try not to."

I entered from the top. From the top of the stairs I could make out Leo's figure in the dark. His siblings and family surrounded him. His hands swayed slightly, this was our signal.

With Damien and Daniel behind me, I shot. Six shots, six bodies. Leo had said tht his smaller siblings weren't there, that they were asleep. When there was no movement I rushed forward. Leo's eyes were squeezed shut, my hand reached out and squeezed his shoulder. "It's okay, they're gone," I said comfortingly. Damien and Daniel dragged the bodies away, leaving behind only a trail of blood.

"I found something," Leo said, moving upstairs. We followed in tow. He stopped at a movie room and connected his camera chip to the screen. Fast-forwarding, he stopped twelve minutes in.

"I never planned to give Ricci anything. My men will kill him and his devil of a spawn once I'm done with the Di Angelo's. Then, I will take over his Mafia and we will rule together,"

Leo's father. Pathetic excuse for a human. "Brilliant, fucking brilliant," Daniel muttered. I turned to Damien, "you thinking what I'm thinking?" He nodded, "yes."

"Leo, where are the laptops?" Leo reached over to a cupboard and pulled one down. I opened it up and set up a burner email. Then, I attached the video and clicked sent.

For the next half-hour, we had something to eat and waited for a response. That's when Daniel's phone rang. "Father," Daniel replied, picking up. "You heard." His father said.

"Yes," Daniel replied, "You're taking over," His father said, finally replying. "What?" Daniel exclaimed. "I know what I said, you had warned me about this before, you deserve this position."

I smiled. "Thankyou Father," Daniel said, cutting off the call. "The plan worked." Leo said, staring at his hands. "Yes, yes it did."
