Dilara

Epilogue:

It's been two months since my decision to join The Ravens and I haven't regretted it.

I have two new friends here, Cora and Pablo. We practically do everything together and since they hang out with me, their feared.

I still have to get used to the fact that I'm not ordinary Dilara Caesar anymore and that I'm Dilara De'Bardi.

I could inherit this entire mafia when the time comes.

I haven't heard anything from Adriano ore any of my old friends, including Mimi.

I guess they've all had to move on, I have mysteriously been wiped off the face of the earth.

Christianto brings me my Iced Coffees whenever I'm working out.

Dominico wants us prepared for something but we don't know what, we've just been training continuously for days.

When I walk around this place, conversations stop and everyone's quiet waiting for my move.

They look at me like I'm about to pull a gun out every five minutes.

Maybe I am, who knows?

I love the power that I now have.

But there's one mistake I'm never going to make again.

Fall in love.

It didn't do me any good the last time it happened, and I'm going to make sure it never happens again.

I'm never going to let my guard down like that ever again.

Love makes you weak, powerless, vulnerable.

Love means nothing.

No one is needed when they're weak, powerless and vulnerable.

I punch the boxing bag harder.

'Woah calm down or you'll punch a hole through the entire thing.' Pablo laughs.

He runs an hand through his messy brown hair.

'Let the girl release her anger.' Cora laughs.

I met Pablo when Dominico took me to the headquarters. He made quite the impression on me when he spilt coffee all over my clothes.

You should've seen the way his face paled when he found out who I was.

'I thought you were just a myth.' Is what he said to me.

'What time is it?' I ask.

'12:34,' Cora replies.

'Shit, I need to be getting ready for that announcement Dominico is making!' I exclaim. 'Oh my god he's going to kill me.'

I grab a water bottle and sprint back to my room.

I take a quick shower and dry my hair.

Someone knocks on my door and I answer it.

'I figured you might need some help choosing an outfit.' Cora smiles.

'Yes please,' I reply.

She comes in the room and we walk into my wardrobe.

She pulls out a black suit with a laced corset shirt underneath it.

'This is going to look amazing on you,' she says.

'Thank you,' I say.

I take it off her and put it on.

She hands me some matching heels and then start on my hair.
