Regina Della Morte

Chapter 3

(Alessandro's POV)

I was working on some final documents to finalize the alliance between the Italian and Spanish mafia when my phone went off. It was the police, so I decided to answer.

Police: Hello is this Alessandro Romano I am speaking to.

Alessandro: Yes, this is him. May I ask why you are calling?

Police: Yes, well it seems that Miss Iris Miller's parents have unfortunately passed away due to overdose.

Police: We were wondering if you would like to take custody of Iris and become her legal guardian.

Police: If not she will be put in the foster system.

Alessandro: Of course, I would love to take her in. When and where should I pick her up?

Police: Well, this is wonderful news.

Police: I will send you the address of the school she is in and you can pick her up later today. Is this okay with you sir?

Alessandro: Yes, this is lovely. Thank you for informing me I will be there to pick her up shortly. Have a nice day!

Once I got off the phone with the police officer, I called and got my private plane ready. I went to grab Alessio seeing as he was at the office with me. I know he would be ecstatic, we haven't seen our Piccola Fiore in years. We have searched and searched for her but never found her. Knowing I have found her I will never let her go. I reached Alessio's office and barged in, I told him what happened and we were both on our way to the plane. We were on our way to see our Piccola Sorella.

*Time skip to at school in office*

When we got off the plane we went straight to the school to see our sister. Alessio and I were waiting for her when a beautiful dark-haired girl kicked the door down. She was stunning. Her eyes were the same as mine, I knew we had finally found our sister because she and I are the only ones in the family who have silver eyes. She didn't notice us but was talking to the principal. She seemed to know him very well. She had this dark and powerful aura around her that demanded power. The way she talked to him and made him cower in fear told me that she was a true Romano.

When Mr. Stanley told our Sorella that her parents died. I was shocked, she didn't have any emotion on her face. Instead of crying she almost looked happy that they died. This leads me to wonder what happened. After she asked if she would be put in foster care, humph like I would ever allow that. When she finally realized we were in here I decided to speak up and tell her we were going to be leaving soon. Alessio told her she could say goodbye to her friends but she declined. When she told Alessio that we could just go to her house and then go to our house, I could see the hurt in my little brother's eyes. Alessio was always the mother hen of the family and cared about everyone. I was a little sad that she thought our home wasn't hers.

We were driving for a while until we reached her house, if you could even call it that. The house was falling apart. There were missing roof panels, chipped paint, even the door handle was gone. I can't believe she lived here. If this was the outside I wonder what it looks like inside. Iris had just gone upstairs to go pack her things. Alessio and I decided to take a look around. "Ales, come over here, look at this shit. What happened here?" I went over and what scared me was that there were pools of blood everywhere, around the floors and walls. I could only hope it wasn't our sisters.

There were alcohol bottles and drugs everywhere. Everything reeked of drugs. Instead of responding, I gave him the look to not say anything about it to Iris. I wanted to know what happened to her but I want to respect her privacy.

She came 20 minutes later with a backpack then said she was ready. I gave a heads up to the driver to start the car so we could get to the private plane. A little while later we were on the plane. One of the air hostesses came over trying to seduce us and I wasn't having it. I will be honest I have had my fair share of hookups but now that I have my Piccola fiore back, I don't care about them. The air hostesses finally went away and I looked over to Iris. She looked very tired. I told her Alessio would take her to the guest room. I am so happy the Italian mafia princess is back. I haven't told the others but I know they will be excited.

Alessio's POV

When Ales told me they found our Piccola Principessa, I was the happiest I've ever been. After all of these years, we were finally getting her back. After showing Iris the guest bedroom I had the biggest smile on my face. When I went back to the main area Ales gave me a confused look. " Why are you smiling?" said Ales. "I am just so excited our Iris is back with us. I have missed her so much".

"I know brother, I know, I have missed her so much and now that she is back we will protect her from everything". I nodded as I wondered what the other would think. We haven't told them yet but I know they will all love her. It's been a couple of hours now and Ales and I have been working, we decided to not tell Iris about us being the Italian Mafia yet. The plane was almost landing so I decided to wake up Iris.
