Can't Break a Broken Heart

Chapter 6

"Me."

Again with this damn silence, it's deafening.

Clearing my throat, I looked up at Dark and Shadow. "I'm sorry for not opening up sooner. Trust me, I know it's a lot to take in."

Shadow smiled and looked at me. "Honey, that's a terrifying confession. No wonder why you didn't want us to know. But I am curious if you knew you were kidnapped and you could go back to your family, why didn't you?"

"The thing is, I thought they never cared. For years I had hoped they would swoop in and rescue me. So when they didn't I figured they didn't care."

Dark held my hand and pulled me away from Marcus and into his embrace. "It's why we are here. Our Father has an alliance with yours. Your Father and Mother never stopped looking for you."

Tears of many years worth of bottled-up emotions poured out of me as if I was an overflowing sink and my faucet was broken. My thoughts were a bunch of incomplete sentences and questions I couldn't get my mouth to move with them all fast enough. His hug became tighter as he stroked my hair letting me stand there and cry.

Echo touched my shoulder to get my attention. 'So, Sierra? What are you going to do now with that?'

Immediately, I ran over to my Sister. Blood or not, she still had my back, and I felt horrible for not hearing her for it and not giving her a chance to explain. Her embrace made me feel like I was back at an old home you can't help but miss. She pulled away to wipe my tears.

"Look at you, beautiful."

I laughed. "Yes, crying is absolutely a gorgeous thing."

She giggled. "There's one more thing. About me."

"Okay?"

"My dead name is Irina Stepanov. I'm also the daughter of a Mafia leader. Russian Mafia."

Marcus spoke up finally. "Our Father works with yours as well. Meaning we completed both of our missions. To get the daughters of the Rossi and the Stepanov Mafias back."

Shadow and Dark smiled. Shadow cleared her throat. "If all these truths are coming out, then I think some of us need to come clean as well."

Dark nodded. "My actual name is Carlos Cortez."

Shadow spoke up again. "And mine is Fiona Cortez."

Echo smiled, "My name is Echo, but I'm not deaf. It was my mission to find you, Isabella. So to not get caught or found out I played deaf." Her voice now sounded sweet like honey. "Also, I'm a part of the Cortez Mafia. Which was another thing we had to keep secret for this mission."

"I kind of had a hunch on that with how willingly you were able to come with me on missions. So, what now?" I looked at everyone slowly waiting for the next plan.

Sierra smiled softly and spoke in her native tongue, Russian. "I want to go home."

Grabbing her hand and lightly squeezing I nodded. "As do I, but we can't use private jets. They already seem to be ten steps ahead of us. Airports are out of the question, too many cameras there they can hack into. Ferry is too small of a space and a likely chance of being found quicker."

Shadow looked like she was taking this into thought while Dark shook his head. "You're overthinking can pay off sometimes."

"I got it!" I ran into my room, more like jogged cause there was no way I would be running in heels. Grabbing my forest green bag I came back to everyone. "We split up."

Opening my bag I handed everyone in the room a single bundle of ten thousand dollars. "We make a diversion of a private jet, but it will be remote-controlled by Dark to go out far into the sea and drop there. Dark will be with Shad- Fiona will be on a ferry to be close to the jet."
