Vincenzo kneels down next to his sister's grave and I kneel beside him holding onto his hand, afraid that if I let go he'll lose his mind. But I'm never letting him go, not now, not ever.
"What a day it is." He sighs. "Dad buried beside you." He runs his hand across his chin. "This is Jasmine, that girl I told you about, she's the only thing that's keeping me from losing my shit right now. But I wanted you to meet the love of my life, the one you said I'd always have." A tear escapes my eye and I can't tell if he's crying since he's wearing his shades. "I miss you sister." He places a rose in front of her gravestone and I place one next to his. We get into the limo and I sit beside Vincenzo with my head resting against his shoulder then I turn towards him, facing him.
"Hey." I cup his face. "Are you ok?" I ask softly and take off his glasses, he looks straight at me with his bloodshot eyes.
"I'm fine."
"You're not, and that's ok... you know I'm here for you?"
"I know you are. Thank you." He rests his hand on my cheek and kisses me slowly but all I can taste are my salty tears. "I need you."
"We'll get through this." I know how much he hated his father and now that he's dead he doesn't know how he feels.
__________________________ Two weeks later...
"We need a plan." My dad says. "One that Alexei and Alexander Fedorov won't interfere with." We're currently sitting in his office discussing how we're going to get mom back.
"Who are they again?" Antonio asks sleepily.
"Alexei is my grandfather and Alexander is his son." I walk across the room playing with my switchblade for no reason, don't judge, but it helps me focus. "Ok, so we know that they're close to us which explains the attacks on both our mafia's shipments."
"But they won't come face to face with us." Vincenzo finishes off my sentence. "They're using these attacks as a distraction hoping that we retaliate."
"Which we have." Sebastian adds. "And over the past two weeks the Russians have been pretty silent."
"Alexei is stepping down soon so Alexander can rule, and we can't allow that to happen."
"Why exactly are the Russians mad?" Lina asks and we all look at my dad.
"Well. Many years ago, before most of you were born, Emiliano and I went on an assignment which got us involved with Alexei and Alexander. I then met Jasmine's mother who, as you all know, is Alexei's youngest daughter. He blames me for the downfall of his empire and his family, in the end Adrianna chose me and went against her family."
"Mamma, were you there?" Antonio asks Andrea.
"Yes, but I was taking care of Caterina and Vincenzo." She smiles.
