The two cars drove into a rich neighbourhood. Gia and Tommy sat in the front, Polly and Finn in the back. John decided to go with Arthur in the second car to take things slowly before seeing Gia again.

The only voices to be heard are those of Arthur singing in the car behind them and Finn explaining something to Tommy. The boy who's birthday was last Saturday is getting bigger by the second.

They stop in front of a beautiful house. It's the contrast of the house that Gia grew up in. It's mild coloured and inviting, kind of like a summer house. 

Gia's house was full of wood and dark colours, she got used to the house growing up, so she found the sociability in the disadvantages of the big house. Her house never felt empty though which she was grateful for. Somehow her family made the house look smaller by all the chatting and running around.

Gia laughs as Finn gave her his hand to help her out of the car. Polly, who was happier with her return than she expected, takes her arm from the boy. Tommy scoffs at his little brother and slaps the back of his head. "Gentle man, eh?"

 Once Arthur makes sure the neighbours know he's there by screaming good morning to every person passing by, he takes the key to the house out of John's hand and leads the group by opening the door and entering first.

They all walk into a beautifully decorated house with paintings and flowers, worthy of being called a family home. The freehearted woman can't believe her eyes. Polly turns around and looks over everything.

"Happy birthday Polly." Arthur congratulates her as he gave her the keys. She looks up at all the brothers to be sure they aren't playing a joke out on her. Her hand flies to her mouth, and she starts laughing with joy. 

"You can have people over." Tommy starts. "Maybe have a singsong?" John suggests. "God help the neighbours." Gia laugs. "Fuck the neighbours! This is yours." Arthurs rusty laugh overlaps the other sounds in the house. 

Gia is suddenly being dragged into another pool by Polly who wants to see the rest of the house. While Polly looks around she asks, "You knew?" Gia answers with a smile, "I had no fucking idea. Such a big house all for yourself." 

Polly's smile fastly falls from her lips as she recalls that she'll only be able to share it with one child. "I'm going to miss having people in my house." Polly admits. Gia sighs and walks over to the woman. She puts her hands on her shoulders as a sign of comfort.

"Don't worry! You have enough rooms for servants, your son, some friends." Gia winks. As the women go on to the next room which was to their surprise empty. Gia has an idea "Maybe this can be your sex room?" She suggests. Polly laughs the idea off "Nah, it's too close to the kitchen. they'll hear us." The women keep laughing as they go up the stairs.

As they look over the second floor Gia admits, "I don't think John's going to ever start talking to me." Polly scoffs and tells her, "Yes, he will. He just has to show off first. They're all stubborn as hell." Gia laughs "The Shelby brothers?" Polly gives her a sneaky smile "Men in general."

Once the clock hits 9 am Gia, Tommy and some of his men are back on the road for the London races. The ride is interesting to say the least. Gia is used to her brothers bickering each other and having a good time but to any outsider seeing the cars ride by they'd think they were ready for the madhouse.

Once they all arrive at the races everyone is fending for themselves. They all separate into groups of two and disappear in the rich crowd filled with people wearing their nicest clothing.

 Gia takes Tommy's hand and waits for the big man to come to them. Tommy looks up from Gia and sees two coppers come their way, he quickly understands that it's time.

They are led through hallways in the head building and end up in a private room that looks over the racetrack. She directly recognises the person that's sitting in an office chair. 

The small muscled figure stands up and shows the face of Angel. "Ciao Sorella!" He voices loud and clear. He has a big smile on his face and greets his sister with two kisses on each cheek. He then looks behind her and gives Tommy a hand.

Gia's jaded as she expected her oldest brother. She doesn't wait on an invite and sits directly right in front of his view over the racetrack. "How was the voyage huh?" He asks as he sits down. "Don't beat around the bush." Gia tells him curtly.

He slightly turns and directs his direction to Tommy. "As stubborn as ever. Right, I've been disagreeing over some things with Mr Solomons. I was in the positive of winning over his territory not even two days ago. So you must understand my worry over you answering to his demand after power. Especially since your fucking my sister."

"Mr Solomons is my friend, and he needed help. I just happened to be able to give it to him." Tommy lights his cigarette. "So you understand my worry. What are you going to do about it?" He questions. "He won't be doing shit about it. Meeting over." Gia stands up. 

"I hear that you're still mad." He rolls his eyes slightly and stands up. "You killed one of my men and betrayed me by putting your dick in between your legs and running to the older sibling for protection. Reason enough to be mad to me." Gia tells him off.

He sighs as if she's overreacting. "Once you'll see it from my punto di vista you'll get it." Gia laughs loudly while walking over to him "It is out of the question that I forgive you. The real question is, how can you forgive yourself?" She looks him in the eye. He sighs and whispers "Una volta che verrà per vendetta, non sarò in grado di proteggerti." She takes a step closer, and with a smug smile tells him "Lasciarlo."
