After being at the hospital for five days, Axelia was more than ready to get home and relax on her bed, without being constantly poked by doctors and nurses. She waited patiently until her father came to get her, which meant having bodyguards all over the room. Even when they all knew that the danger was gone, her father was still extra protective of her.
She understands how the Mafia works, which means that if she kills and or defeats the leader of another Mafia, she becomes the boss. It also isn't that Axelia isn't ready, it's just that, she doesn't want to be a boss as of now, she is fine being at school and learning everything that she must learn and maybe more, not dealing with people and business and all the hassle...
"What are you thinking about?" Raphael Moore questioned his daughter as he entered the room. "You were very deep in thought,"
Axelia licked her lips. "That I am going to let you lead the Connor-Coopernate Mafia for a while, alongside the Moore Mafia," She added with a small shrug and a smirk. "I want to finish high school and go to the University before focusing full-time on our business,"
Raphael threw his head backwards as he barked out a laugh. "Of course," He smiled. "What an honour it is my little monster," He kissed her head. "Are you ready to go back home? Someone is waiting there for you," He winked.
"Of course, I am thrilled to go back home!" She exclaimed. "Atlas?" She whispered and Raphael nodded. "Why is he there?"
"That kid," He sighed. "He is really in love with you, and well, he wanted to receive you," He shrugged. "Let's go, we still have other paperwork to do in regards to the Mafias,"
Axelia didn't comment anything further and simply followed her father out of the room. She was aware of the feelings Atlas had for her, but she hadn't taken the time to consider her feelings towards him. She knew that they existed, she just hadn't taken a minute to figure out how she was going to manage them.

The minute Axelia placed a foot inside the mansion, Erik and Lucas were all over her, giving hugs and kisses, something that neither liked nor did often, so it was a hilarious action. Once they let go of her, they started bombarding both compliments and arguing with her about how she had endangered her life.
Atlas was standing at the end of the hallway, staring at how the Moore Mafia Family interacted. He knew it was so different from his family, but he wanted what Axelia had when she grew up, a real family, not what he had.
Finally, Erik and Lucas let her go and Atlas slowly approached her. "Welcome home Axelia," He smiled as he took her hand. "It's nice to see you here and not at the hospital,"
"Atlas," Axelia nodded. "Why do I owe this?" She questioned and Atlas smirked. Typical Axelia, keeping the things on her field.
"I am here to welcome you back home," He started. "And also, to ask you out on a date, if you wish to accompany me to a nice dinner," He held his hand making it impossible for Axelia to interrupt. "It's a restaurant that your father owns, so there will be no surprises,"
Axelia licked her lips as she stared at Atlas. "What if I say yes to a nice dinner, but not outside?" Atlas smirked. "Is it still an option?"
"Unquestionably," Atlas replied. "If you wish, we can stay here at your house, and I will manage everything, so you don't have to worry about anything other than what you are going to wear,"
"I guess I will be seeing you at seven," Axelia winked at Atlas before she walked out towards her room.
Atlas smiled as Axelia walked away from him. Remembering his grandfather's words: 'A good woman will make you chase her; a girl will chase you.'

Ivan Dortmund stared at all the documents Raphael Moore had on his desk. They had decided to figure out a way to merge 3 different Mafias into one, the Moore, Dortmund and Connor were now going to be one in all, making it the biggest Mafia, and the only one in the United States.
"Are you sure about this?" Ivan questioned. "Why do you want to merge mine with yours?"
Raphael rolled his eyes. "Sooner or later, we were going to merge them," He shrugged. "Axelia already told me that she wants to go to Uni before coming back to the business, which means that I have around 6 more years before I give it to her,"
"Atlas is coming right after he graduates High school," Ivan spoke. "Or at least that is what I think, he hasn't spoken about University,"
"I feel he is going to go," Raphael chuckled. "Which means that we have time to make sure that we solidify the union and all our new ideas, I am not saying to mix assets nor business,"
Ivan smirked. "Of course not, we just unite the names and create fear and respect,"
"Respect rather than fear," Raphael argued. "But one thing at a time," he motioned with his hand. "Now, did you know, that your son is cooking dinner for my daughter?"
Ivan barked out a laugh. "I know why you said that we are going to be merging them,"
