"Enlighten me why are we sitting like this again?" I asked for the third time sitting in front of all my douche bag intimidating brothers
"You know exactly why Cam?" Dom said smirking
"Oh no I don't, kindly help me a bit with my memory" I said sarcasm dripping of my words
"You had a fight with 2 people today and it was your first day of junior year" Cas said smiling and I pouted
"Why?" Ace asked slowly
"That popular jock was bullying someone and I had to show him who the queen was. Bullying is bad for mental health. brother." I shrugged in reply while the youngest ones just chuckled
"Okay" Ace said gathering himself "Why did you hit Kristen who is in the ER right now " He asked agitated calmly
"Who's Kristen?" I paused in realization "oh. that bitch" I said cringing
"Language" San pointed out
"Well. I would like to repeat my charisma. Respect is earned not demanded. She was a lunatic anyways" I said rolling my eyes
"Yeah a lunatic who is supposed to be your brother's girlfriend" Ace said with an eyebrow raised as I said a small whatever under my breath
"Was." Edgar interjected
"Huh?" We all looked at him in disbelief
"We broke up. She was a bitch anyways, kept calling Camellia a slut, I dumped her" He replied shrugging
"If this is true then I need the details Farfalla." Ace asked "Someone needs to knock some brains in the school authorities, such vile things happening and no one knows about it"
"First off. I am not going to explain myself. She called me a slut and said I slept with Edgar. Like ew. He's my brother, that girl seriously needed a day or two in a hospital" I said rolling my eyes\
"And second o-" I was cut out by Ace
"Look Camellia. We know you are one fierce and independent girl. But sometimes it's better to be dependent on someone. Maybe just a little dependency will make you less sarcasm-y." Ace said chuckling by the end of the sentence
"Says someone who can't even tie his own tie." I said to which the rest just gave out hollow chuckled
"I need to know something." I interrupted their chuckling session
"Please don't say anything about feminism or toxic masculinity " Asher pleaded with his hands joined
"Why do you think I would say something like that?" I asked flattened
"Because- well. You are you. Fierce, bold, proud, fight for your rights, never give a shit and not to mention you are a Durazzo, and the Durazzo's respect each other's decision. and to be honest I am bored hearing the same dialogue" He said yearning a pouty look
"Okay fine I am done here. I have work to do." I said getting up and wiping the invisible dust from my flare pants
I went in my room and took a deep sigh of relief as I went up in the bathroom and took my shirt off
My eyes were directed towards he purple-bluish bruise forming at the sides of my stomach with a dark swallowed area around it
"Xenon that son of a bitch" I muttered to myself as I quickly applied some ointment on the bruise and walked into the bay window area in my room
I was about to do a google search about AP calculus when my phone rang and I smirked seeing the caller Id
"Hey Theo" I said picking up the call as I heard a call from the other side
"Wassup?" He asked frankly
"Wassup?? Seriously Theodore Anderson . C'mon tell me what do you need already." I said laughing at his 'methods' of making a bargain
"I- Well okay" He chuckled from the other side
"I need a favor" He asked
"Spit it out already my gay bae" I said encouraging him to bloody speak
"I need you to hack the cctv camera of "The Rosalyn café " He said tensed
"But why?"
"Iris has gone to meet Priya, the girl at the battleground from the other day" He said worried
"Why hacking into the camera ? Priya is such a sweet girl" I asked him
"I don't know. Something seems off about her." He pleaded
"Okay" I chuckled " Looks like the big brother got some trust issues eh?" I asked in teasing way
"Mila" He hummed
"Kidding, but can't you do it. The last time I checked you were way better than me in hacking and stuff"
"Duh. I would have done it myself but I got the reek of Russians in New York. There are going to be in the auction held by random mafias. I am going to fill our spot in" He said as I muttered an alright
"See you" He said as he hung up
I logged into my laptop and filled up some essentials from my previous project which was hacking into my house's cctv camera. I need to see what goes on in the 3rd floor and the basement, but something wasn't working out
Turning the ip address to "The Rosalyn café " I checked the footages and clicked on the recent one
I peeped to look at the low quality live video and saw the brown girl sitting near the window seat with Iris in front of her
Seem normal
After sitting there for like fifteen more minutes I was just about to call Theo to tell him not to be so protective but that was before I noticed something out of the window
A car but not just any car. A Maserati Ghibli, the most famous car swooped in and out Russia all the time
My suspicion became more clear when I logged into the front door Cctv and the footage became better so that I could see the number plate.
A010AA.
That looked more than just familiar.
I quickly checked who the number plate belonged to and my eyes widened at the name of the owner
Alexandro Gustavo.
Fucking Alexandro Gustavo. The Russian Mafia Don's son.
If he saw Iris right now, it was either him or her. They both have a whole lot of history together.
I rang up Iris and she answered my call as I looked at her form the cctv
"Iris. You need to hear me out right fucking now." I grove at the phone
"Is everything okay bestie?" She asked me
"Look out of the window" I said as I saw her head tilt towards the side doing just as I said
"How do you know I am sitting beside a window?" She asked again
"Just hear me out. You need to run. You see the Maserati Ghibli out there?"
"Yeah why?" She said worriedly
"That is a car from Russia. I saw the number plate and it belongs to Alexandro Gustavo. Grab Priya and Run Iris." I pleaded. I never thought I would be saying this to Iris as she was never the one to run, but this time
It was necessary.
"Fuck it." She hung up as I saw from my laptop she took Priya with her and wore her beanie lower than usual.
Alessandro Gustavo was in my town and this was anything but a good news.
