“How the fuck is that possible?” Federico asked the person on the phone angrily. “Call everyone to the meeting room right this second.” He said before cutting the call. “The Russian warehouses are empty. They are gone.” He told me hurriedly getting up, me with him. “Holy shit. What are we going to do now?” I asked as we both got out of the room and walked fast towards the meeting room. “I don’t have a fucking clue. First we need to let everyone know and we will go from there.” He answered and I nodded.

How the fuck were they able to escape? They probably expected this to happen so they took no chances and escaped. “Are you sure you are okay to work now tesoro?” Federico asked looking at me with worry. This man. Even when everything is falling apart he is still concerned about me I love him so damn much. “Don’t worry pretty boy I am assassin first and your girlfriend after. I still have duties to fulfill.” I answered as we entered the meeting room. “Okay.” Federico said as he picked my hand up kissing it. We took our usual places when the rest of the people started coming in, worry written on their faces.

“Son what is happening?” Aldo asked as he, Isabella, Aria and Kai entered the room. “You will hear now, please seat.” Federico answered. Once everyone was seated Federico started the meeting. “I called you here urgently because I have just gotten the news that the Russians have escaped and left all the warehouses empty. We need to start the search right this moment so I want all of the hackers in their office working on tracing them . The rest of you will be on the field. Search every airport, bus station, train station. Go on every fucking highway if needed and look for any suspicious movement. Was I clear?” Federico asked and all of them nodded shocked and terrified.

“You are free to go.” He dismissed them and Aria, Kai, Nicholas, Aldo, Isabella, Federico and I stayed in the meeting room so we can discus what are we going to do. “Cosa dovremmo fare adesso?” (What are we supposed to do now?) Aria asked. “Aspettiamo notizie.” (We are waiting for the news.) Federico answered. “Non possiamo semplicemente sederci e aspettare.” (We cant just sit and wait) Kai said. “Concordo.” (I agree) Nicholas said. “Anch’io” (Me too.) I added.

“Mom, dad what do you think?” Federico asked. “I agree with the kids we should help our people every way we can.” Aldo answered. “But that’s why they are here why should I intervene?” Federico scoffed. “That’s not how I thaught you figlio.” Aldo said to Federico and I could see him getting angry. “Whatever.” Federico said before storming out of the room. “I have to go with him.” I said and they all nodded before I left behind Federico but when I arrived his car was already speeding down the road.

“Fuck!” I said before going towards my car. Once I entered I sped behind Federico. Why the fuck did he get angry now? I don’t get this man he is going to hurt himself with the way he is driving. But I caught up to him and was driving behind him. I guess he didn’t notice me. After a while he parked in front of a bar. Great. He wants to get drunk. I followed him inside and sat right next to him.

“Why did you follow me?” He asked as he waited for his drink. “Because you are reckless and I wont let you hurt yourself.” I answered. “So now I am reckless to.” He scoffed. “Why are you acting this way?” I asked. “None of your business woman.” He answered coldly. “Okay then get drunk, die for all I care but don’t think you will be let in our bed tonight.” I said before getting up to go home. There is no use of talking to him now.

“Wait.” He grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. “I didn’t mean it to sound like that.” He said hugging me. “I am just frustrated.” He added. “But you can talk to me baby, you know that." I said.  "When you of all people thought differently I lost it. I know I wasn’t supposed to react that way.” He said. “Its okay I understand that. It happens to all of us. But please don’t shut yourself out and drown your anger in alcohol. You have a family that cares about you. We will get over this together.” I said as I pulled away to look at him. “What did I do to deserve a girlfriend like you?” He asked as he stroked my cheek gently. I just smiled leaning into his touch. “Cmon lets go home.” I said.

“Or we could stay and have some fun. Just the 2 of us.” Federico said and winked at me. I smirked. “You know I wont say no to the alcohol.” I answered as I once again took a seat next to him. The bartender came to us and we ordered the drinks. Drink after drink after drink… after drink and we ended up vey very wasted.

“Do youuuu knooow how much I loooveee youuu?”  Federico slured as we stumbled our way out of the bar. “Nooo/ hiccup / I looveee youuu” A very drunk me answered. “Buut not moreee than meeee” Federico contined arguing his brows furrowing. “Its okaaay don’t beeee maaaad.”  I said as I placed a slopy kiss on his cheek. “Another oneee.” Federico said and I obliged. We were trying to stand straight in front of the bar and wait for Kai who called us worried and is now coming to pick us up. And soon he came. “The fuck did you  2 do?” He asked as he and Nicholas got out of the car. We just looked at him weirdly before they helped us in the car. And the rest of my memories was darkness.

Federicos POV

I woke up this morning in the same clothes I was in yesterday and a massive headache. Damn we got so shitfaced. Hailey was sleeping soundly next to me. The room  reeked of alcohol. I kissed Haileys shoulder and went straight to the bathroom to take  a shower and brush my teeth. The hot water refreshed me and I was better than when I woke up. After getting dressed I made my way downstairs to take a cup of coffee. As soon as I stepped foot in the kitchen my dear mother attacked me.

“Where were you two last night huh?” She asked. “We-“ I started but was cut off. “You were so damn drunk that the guys had to carry you.” She continued. “I kno-“ I was once again cut of. “And your father just had the audacity to stand there and laugh and of course Aria is no better she filmed you and did nothing to help.” She rambled on and on as I made coffee for both me and my tesoro. “Mom, mom please calm down. It wont happen again. We just got a little carried away that’s it.” I said. “Well it better not repeat.” She answered. 

In that moment Hailey entered looking refreshed she probably took a shower and she honestly looked better than me. I mean she always did. “Good morning tesoro.” I said as she came up to me and kissed my cheek. “Good morning love, good  morning Isabella.” She said as she took a seat at the counter. “Good morning sweetheart have you slept well? Are you not hungover?” Mom asked with concern. “Yes I am okay and will be even better after the coffee.” Hailey answered. “Oh dont you worry I will make you a lemonade right now it will help you feel better.” My mom said as she rushed to make a lemonade  for Hailey. That is my mother everyone. Scolding me and making sure my girlfriend feels better.

“And what about me?” I asked pouting. “Its you why she got drunk in the first place. And stop pouting you are not a child.” Mom said as she proceeded with the lemonade. Hailey laughed beside me and I glared at her playfully handing her a cup of coffee. After we got a little more sober it was time for breakfast so we proceeded to the dining room where everyone was already seated.

I passed by Arias stool and smacked her on the back of her head for filming us. “What was that for?” She asked. “For fucking filming us while we were drunk out of our  minds.” I answered starting to eat. “You filmed us?” Hailey asked shocked. Aria just smirked continuing to eat knowing we wont do anything in front of mama and papa. Good thing they are leaving after breakfast so I can smack that stupid bitch. The breakfast was peacefull with light chatter filling the room.

Once we finished mama and papa dragged their luggage down and the guards placed it in the car. “Are you sure you can handle everything alone?” My father asked as he approached me and put a hand on my shoulder. “Si papa.” I answered and he smiled hugging me before going over to Aria. “Take care my son. Both of you and Hailey. She is the one.” Mom said as she hugged me and kissed me on the cheek before proceeding to do the same thing to Aria and Hailey. Soon they left to the airport and we retreated to my office so we can think about what to do with the goddamn Russian mafia.
