Desolate

Chapter 18

Mirabella's POV

    Three hours later, I had the information I needed and a dead body. I had a plan that I knew my family wouldn't like. I called for someone to come clean up this mess and leave his body for the Americans to find him. I didn't have much sympathy for this man, even if he also hated my mother. He planned to overthrow her and take the spot that was rightfully his. She lost the spot when she ran away with me, but he decided to live he would go with what she wanted. I should have left him alive, but hearing about my mother and stepfather made me murderous. They ruined my life, as well as my families.
    I jumped into my car and called Hades. "I'm in my car, we're all good to go. Do you mind if I stay at dad's tonight? It's already late and I got to work in the morning. It'll be easier if I only had to walk three steps to my desk when I wake up." I knew I was lying, but I had to work though my plan. I didn't want to be around anyone. I wanted some alone time. I knew he'd agree, but he won't be too happy about it.
    "Sure thing, gorgeous. I get it, have a good night. I love you." I swooned. I definitely deserve him.
    "I love you more." I ended the phone call with a guilty conscience. They are going to be so fucking mad at me.
    I made it back to the house and washed tonight's events off of me. I threw on a pair of leggings and a sweat shirt. I wrote out the note and slid it under Mar's door. I hope they understand that I'm doing this for them. I hope Hades knows how much I love them.
    Look the fuck out Mother, I'm coming for you. You don't mess with my family and get away with it. I slid underneath my car removed the tracker, jumped into the car and turned off my lights. I eased down the driveway and slowly left down the road finally turning on the lights when I was far enough they couldn't see me. Time to prove myself to the woman who tried to break me and the family who would make the world stop for me. Jesus, I feel like I'm in a tiktok trend. Hello, my name is Mirabella and my life is kinda crazy. I laughed out loud, man I needed a laugh. Alright, game face on, I got a mafia to tear apart slowly.

Marcello's POV

    I woke up to complete panic throughout the house. Mirabella was gone and no one knew where she was. I had a bad feeling in my gut. I grabbed some sweats and threw them on when I noticed a note in the floor. Do not tell me she planned this shit. I will kill her with my own hands, twin or not. I rushed over to the note and knew I had to go down to the family before I read the note. I knew she wanted everyone to hear it. Goodness, Twinnie, I love you but fuck you for this. I went to her room and noticed she left her phone as well. This girl I'm telling you.
    I walked down to the living room and found everyone, including Hades, Hayley, Nat, Nathan, and Anastasia. Jesus this is going to be tough. I slid behind Nat and gave her a kiss on her head. I know she's devastated, she's her best friend. She turned and cried into my chest.
    "I have a note from her, she slid it under my door. I figured we could read it together. Maybe we can all see what was going on." I said solemnly. I didn't like the feeling I had in my gut. It was making me feel sick.

To My Family,

    I cannot begin to thank you for accepting me into the family with open arms. I know that at first I wasn't in the best mind frame, but you guys brought me out of the hole I was in and continued to show me how I deserved to be treated. I didn't think I'd ever get the love I got inside of this home. Being reintroduced to my father and brothers was the best thing that's ever happened to me. Meeting the love of my life and getting to know his daughter was the best feeling I'll ever know. Then getting friends who didn't judge me for my past, but continued to show me how much of a badass I am and bring out the best sides of me will be something I'm always grateful for. I know Marcello is reading this to you now, so please listen to what I have to say. I love you guys enough to take care of this myself. I know you'll be angry, I don't blame you, but I'm the reason the Americans have been messing with us. I must be the one who handles it. I promise to you, I'm ready. I will be the one who takes care of Jessalyn myself. I do not want you to follow me, I took the tracker off of my car. I've been trained; I can handle this. Hades, listen up, you know that I wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize Ana. I love that girl like my own daughter if we kept this cat and mouse game with the Americans she could've gotten hurt. I couldn't be the reason something happened to her. I love you both so much. I also couldn't let anything happen to anybody else. I won't tell you my plan, but I ask that you trust me. When I need you, I will send someone to fill me in. I have an informant, but that is all the information I am willing to give at this moment. When the time is right the informant will meet the guards at the gate and will give them a phrase that you will come to understand what it means.

Be Safe and I Love You,
Mirabella

(P.S. If you think about finding a way to find me before I give you permission, I will never forgive you. I wish to do this myself. Also Hades, I will kill you if you go against my family in the pursuit of finding me.)

    I breathed in a short breath. There is no way she chose to go by herself. She could have at least taken one of us. That would blow her cover now wouldn't it? Dammit Mirabella. It took five minutes before anyone said anything. Dad sat up in his seat and released a deep breath. "I know it will be hard, but we have to trust her. She's been training like crazy and she's smart enough to have thought this through. I know it fucking sucks she didn't take anyone with her, but she didn't need any distractions. We must wait on her word. Hades, please keep your head on and take care of Ana. She's going to need you more than you realize, Mirabella has become the mother figure she was craving. I know Mira didn't do this to hurt her, but to keep her safe. Now, we must start planning for anything. Let's take a breather and come back to make a plan. We have to be ready when the informant gives us the phrase. Please keep your phones close by and I will inform the guards of this. I don't know how long this will take. Now, go take as long as you need to decompress, I will be in the warehouse conference room. Let's tell no one else about this; this stays in this room. Nathan and Natalie you can tell your parents, but that is for your safety. They can attend the meeting if they wish. I know they hate Jessalyn as much as we do."
    We all nodded. I ran to Mira's room and laid on her bed. I can't even explain how much it hurts that she didn't tell me. We tell each other everything, our twin bond has been the best thing to look forward to daily. Even when she spends time with Hades, we text constantly. She's my best friend and I already miss her. It's like she took my heart with her. I saw a note on her pillow.

Marcello,

    I know that this will be hard. I already feel like something's missing and I haven't even left the house. I hate to leave like this, but I need to do this. She ruined us, you and I especially. I knew you'd take this more personal, but Celly I love you. You are my best friend, always. Please stay alert. You guys cannot break down, that's what they're banking on. Now after you read this, burn this. You need to tell them to make it look like I ran away. Start talking about how weak I am. How I couldn't hold a candle to the famous Marchetti's. How much of a disappointment I was. No one knows how lethal I became. I ask that you don't tell them it was my idea. Now, I love you. You guys must come up with a plan to invade the American Mafia Warehouse. It's the old building on Killian Drive. The one that's all overgrown. The Underboss gave me this information. Now the informant will pretend to kidnap me. My car will be at Hades' club Stasia. Go get it, just you and Hades. In my car you will find a note for Hades. Let him read it and let him make a decision. Things will get crazy, if everything goes to plan.

Did you know dolphins sleep with one eye open?

I love you, Celly.
Mirabella

BURN THIS NOTE

    Smart girl. Burn the notes, so no one can find the information. I slip out my phone and call my sisters future husband. "What's going on Marcello?" He is not in a good mood.
    "I need to go get her car, do you want to come?" He grunted.
    "How do you know where her car is?" He sounded hopeful.
    "If you come with me, I'll tell you."
    "Let me see if someone will watch Ana." He started typing extremely hard on his phone. "Alright, Gabriel said he would." Dad must know that this is serious. God bless my father honestly.
    Hades slid into my car and I explained the situation. We were one step closer to finding out her plan. I was glad we were her most trusted. I'm sure other people have more notes that she made some sort of scavenger hunt for her. I just am glad to get a little more information about her. The uneasy feeling in my stomach has subsided a little and I couldn't be happier about it.

I know this took longer than it was supposed to, but I had a super busy week. I also was having trouble writing a chapter. This was supposed to happen a little later, but I felt like this would cause a little more mafia drama. I know this chapter is all over the place, but I promise as we continue it'll start making sense. However, I would like to say how happy I am for my story to be blowing up. I can't begin to thank you guys for reading this. Writing has always been a hobby, but the love I receive on this book makes it worth it.

Thank you Lovelies,
