ALESSANDRO POV:

Like most days, my office is quiet. Being one of the most powerful mafias means that nobody wants to mess with you.  Actually, N.A.M. is more powerful than we are because and they have to deal with a lot more crap.

Since the former boss passed away and the current boss took his position, no one actually knows who their boss is. This is because he decided it would be best to keep his identity a secret. The mafias are all interested in the identity of them. The Spanish even sent men to investigate, they have more guts than any of us, playing with the most powerful mafia.

But still everyone wants to know.

Some even say less than 5 people know who and if those people were caught then they'd be in hell of a lot of trouble, major torture would play a big role in finding out.

Right now I sort through papers and sign after carful examination making sure no hidden means are behind anything. Paper after paper I sign and sign, I feel like my eyes will fall out of my head but I continue trying not to make fuss.

I feel my personal phone vibrate on the table and look at the number- private. I answer "what do you want?" I say in a cold tone. "Hello is this Mr Alessandro Romero?" The person on the other line asks.

"Yes, now what do want?" I ask the same question again. "This is Officer BaddieBoo, I'm calling to see if you are willing to take in your sister- Miss Alessandra" she says. My eyebrows furrow in confusion for a moment then I realise who she is talking about.

It takes me a second to talk "sorry um... where are you located exactly?".

"I'm at * station," that's only and hour and a half from here. "Alessandra's guardians past in a house fire last night, luckily she wasn't at home, so sir are you willing to take her in?" She repeated the question from before.

"Yes, I'll be there in and an hour or so" I don't let her continue or say anything more before I hang up and leave the house. I got out get in the car and start driving for along while, not wanting to wait to see my sister.

Wow that feels weird to say. I still remember when she was small, I was 11 when she was taken, Elijah would have been 9, Matteo 6, only use three will remember most of it. Alex and Ambrose were 2, Dante only a month being her twin.

She was taken by... well we don't actually know who but if we did we would rip their heads off. A few years after she was taken mum and dad were killed in a shoot out with the Spanish, I was 19 at the time. I became boss and got legal guardianship over my brothers. And now soon my sister.

I arrive at the station and it's around 1pm. I walk up and get several stares from people around. I walk to the desk and ask for Officer BaddieBoo. Not long after a middle aged woman comes out to greet me.

"Mr Romero" she says shaking my hand "follow me" she takes me to a back room where we talk for sometime. When I finish she tells me Alessandra will be here any minute and that she'll go wait for her out front.

Around 8 minutes later she comes back and leads Alessandra into the room, she's grown up so well. Her brown hair was in ponytail, her brown eyes had a hint of yellow- just like my father, really she just looked like a younger version of my mother with my fathers eyes.

I start to feel bad that I missed out on seeing her grow into the person she is now.

She tells Alessandra to take a seat as she notice me. "As you know this has something to with your guardians, Kenna and Tom" officer BaddieBoo says.

"Well I'm sorry to inform you they died in a house fire last night around 11pm" she informs Alessandra. I look at her. "I assume you were at a friends house but all of your stuff was destroyed". Alessandra looks numb and doesn't let any of what she is feeling slip.

"What's going to happen to me now?" She asks. "Well we looked into your file, which is very secure might I add, but we found out that your name was changed when you were younger," she takes a breather "we found out you have family and they are willing to take you in. This is Alessandro one of your brothers" The officer tells Alessandra.

Officer BaddieBoo leaves the room to get papers for the name change and guardianship.

We sit in silence for awhile before I break it, "so, I'm Alessandro" I say not knowing what to say. She already new that you dumb fuckwit I say to myself.

Luckily not long after Officer BaddieBoo comes back in, sign the papers and she tells us we can go.

I stand up and Alessandra follows as we walk out to the front. "Farewell Mr Romero, Miss Romero" the Officer says biding us farewell.

We get into the car and drive the whole time without speaking, which I debate if I should say anything but nothing comes out.

We arrive at the gates and the guards open them as soon as they see me. We drive up the drive way before stopping in front of house.

I tell one of the guards to put the car away. Me and Alessandra go inside and I open the doors, then close them when we are both inside.----

ALESSIA POV:

"Your other brothers are still at school or are out doing... work" Ales- Alice says. When he says that I immediately actually means- their out killing people! Which is my FAVOURITE hobby.

"I'll show you to your room," he says, before long we arrive at a long hallway lined with doors. He descends to the end and opens the door to a beautifully decorated bedroom.

"We update it every year, but you can change anything that you don't like."  Then he said, "I'll send for you when dinner is ready, but in the meantime you can... explore the house."

I decide the first thing I should do is look around my room, I see two doors. One being double and the other being a single. I go to the double doors first.

I push them open to find myself in a walk-in wardrobe, it's around the same size of the bedroom itself with and island in the middle, with empty display cases.

I leave the walk-in wardrobe and close the doors behind me. I head over to the single door that turns out to be a bathroom, it has a bathtub, shower and two sinks. Also being as empty as the wardrobe.

I leave the bathroom and jump right onto the bed, it was so comfy. The same amount of comfort the bed at N.A.M is.

Realising I have to inform Collin, I can't just text him saying 'hey Collin found out my bio fam are the Italians.'

So instead I text him saying 'going on break, you have to do some of my jobs for awhile' . He texts back 'yes boss' knowing not to question anything.

I lay my head back and close my eyes and soon enough I fell asleep. Only to be woken up by someone shaking me, I grab their arm and twist it. "Ow ow ow ow" the person says.
