This story takes place back in time before the Mafia's/Mobsters disappeared. Nerea forced to become an adult at a very young age. She soon finds out that love isn't just a fictional story.
I woke up fast like I was in a bad nightmare, "it was just a nightmare" I whispered to myself. "Are you okay? Laura crept behind me. "What are you do-" I forgot she was my roommate for a second. "Never mind," I picked up the pillow next to me and covered my face with it. "Today is the ball, we need to go get makeup, and our hair done, also don't forget I still need a dress," she explained as she picked up the bottles off the floor.
"Do you by any chance like.... Big expensive dresses?" I asked her. "Hell ya! But we can't afford that, now get up" she shouted. "Go look in my closet see if you like that dress, I hate it but it will look bloody good on you," I took the pillow off my face.
I made her try on the dress. I didn't like it, not my style, but when she walked out she looked beautiful, she looks like a goddess. I know I would pull the dress better but she did good anyways.

"I LOVE IT!" She shouted and she jumped around the house like a bloody rabbit. "Noella...." She whispered as she stared in the mirror. "what's that?" She pointed her shaky hand. " I jumped out of bed and looked at the fighting on the mirror. "I don't know....." I whispered confused.

"We should report this to the police!" She shouted terrified. "NO!" I shouted back at her. "Why would we do such a stupid thing?" I rolled my eyes at her. "Stupid?" She looked into my eyes filled with worry. "They gonna assume it's either you or me," I answered her. "They won't, I work for them I'm a upcoming FBI agent in training," she shouted but the shout was quiet.
"Really?" I laughed at her. "No they won't, they don't care about no one besides the money they make and the food on their plate and-" before I could continue she interrupted me. "THEY ARE MY FAMILY!" She shouted. "I know you might now have a good loving family, but I do.... I'm not worthless or useless as you!" She looked at the wall besides looking into my eyes.
My body heated fast, the anger filled up my body, I clenched my fists. "Say that again," I whispered to her with anger. "You make people hate you by your fucking actions!" She laughed but with a cry. "If I told you my story, you would never look at me again," I shouted as I pulled my gun out.
"Of course," she mumbled. "Nerea, put the gun away," she laughed. "What?" I acted confused. "I'm Nick's friend, Laura" she put out her hand. I didn't speak I couldn't, I felt a knife going through my heart. I walked away from her without shaking her hand. "Ner-" she tried to stop me but I just slammed the door.
My head is a very dark place, I just wanted to kill anyone in my way, I can't though, not until I get Romero on his knees. The streets were cold and it was 2pm in the afternoon. I didn't think about what happened about 30 minutes ago, I was more focused on the ball.
"Noella!" Laura shouted running after me. I didn't stop for her I just kept moving. "Look let me explain!" She shouted again. I stopped waiting for her to catch up. "Apologise for what?" I spoke. "You're not mad?" She stuttered. "I have no time to be mad, the world itself is filled with hatred," I smiled. "You have a beautiful smile," she whispered with a smile. "I try to hide it," I kept on walking.
"But why?" She stopped and shouted. "Do you ever talk quietly?" I asked her. "Sorry," I hated the way she kept apologizing. "Stop apologizing," I laughed. "I'm used to apologizing a lot," she muttered. "No one deserves your apologies," I stopped at the salon for the makeup for the ball.
"What do you wanna do about Romero?" She whispered as we sat there waiting for a man or woman to walk out. "Keep it quiet," I whispered back to her. "He's not my target though," I added. "I thought it was specific he was your target," her eyes were once again filled with worry. I looked at her and laughed, "I'm finally free," "Free what do you mean you are on a mission," she shouted.
"On a mission to find two handsome man for two gorgeous woman," the woman walked out like she was on a red carpet. "Sandy!" Laura shouted as she ran up to the woman. "This is my friend Noella!" Laura dragged me to sandy.
"She's like a dream," sandy placed her hands on my cheeks, I was about to snap but Laura told me to hold it in. "More like a nightmare," I smirked at her. "She's just joking," Laura awkwardly laughed.
Laura Ales pov-
I looked at her, her smile faded away as the woman circled her face with the brush. I finally had a little sister to take care of, she was my responsibility for the time till she finishes the mission.
I remember when she was 2 and I was 5, she looked at me with her beautiful sparkly eyes, she was just a child, but that didn't stop her family.

I know she doesn't remember me when we were kids but, I will never forget her brother for helping me and my family.
"What's wrong?" I asked her. "Nothing, why?" She answered me. I was just worried, I hated not seeing her smile.

Nerea Petroni
We looked like bloody hell, "can I ask you something?" I questioned her. "Why are you scared of my family?" I added. "Your family isn't who they say they are," she answered me. "Have you ever heard of, Nera Diamond?" She fixed up my hair a little. "I think so, my head is blocking everything," I looked in the mirror.
"Her parents were hard on her, but they still loved her even though they had all the power in the world they still loved their baby girl." Laura smiled and laughed. "I heard of The Diamonds history," I rolled my eyes.
"Let's focus on what's important, The Verucchi ball,"
