A week without any calls or texts from Akim.

The world is healing.

"Mo." A familiar deep voice says from behind me, and I immediately turn around to look at him.

Amado stands there with a faint smile and I instantly walk toward him. I give him a quick hug from the side and then look up at him.

"Since when are you back?" I ask as we begin walking toward the Ivanovs' house.

"Yesterday." He replies putting his hands in the pockets of his jacket.

"And when were you going to tell us?"

"Today." He chuckles as we enter the house.

"You're going to give your mother a heart attack." I state already imagining her reaction when she finally sees him.

"Don't even say it as a joke because it might happen, and it won't be funny." He says with a look of him imagining it which causes him to lightly shake his head and blink a few times.

I lightly chuckle at that when we enter the living room where everyone is including the man that shouldn't be named.

Leonid had asked us to come over for updates on Marcello and I'm guessing he already knew Amado was here and called him too.

"You two know each other?" Akim instantly asks staring between me and Amado.

"Yeah, our mothers are sisters." Amado tells him while I pretend like he doesn't exist.

I can clearly feel him staring at me and it makes me mad. He makes me mad even if he isn't doing anything and is just existing.

"I helped Morelia get her place as an assassin. Only because she's my cousin and almost like a sister." Amado adds in for the idiot as I walk toward Gianna to give her a hug in greeting.

"I heard you two are together." Amado suddenly says looking between Leonid and Gianna after I have stood beside her.

"Congrats." He tells them and I see how Gianna hugs Leonid's arm.

"Thank you." Is what she responds with along with nervous smile for some reason.

Vladimir and Nikolai arrived a bit after Amado and I did, but left a while ago.

It's been almost an hour...I think.

I actually don't know how long it has been because I keep zoning out and apart from that I'm fucking bored. I literally don't know what's been happening or what we have been talking about. I just play along and then it's like I leave my body and go to nowhere.

It's so weird. I'm sure it's some psychological shit but I don't have time to see a therapist or psychiatrist at the moment. I'm sure I'll be fine.

"Akim!" A very familiar voice makes the whole room go quiet and I want to leave immediately.
