Located on the outskirts of Milan stood the Garcia estate in all it's glory, the building was centuries old and home to various generations of the family. It was magnificent and classy, vast forest surrounded the building giving the estate a haunted look. Inside the building resided one of the most powerful man of Italy, Remo Garcia with his wife and children.
The Garcia family was the most powerful family in Italy. Remo Garcia was the head of one of the most powerful mafia in Italy, his wife Serina Welsh was the only heirress of Englands most notorious gang " The skull ".

Remo met serina during one of his missions in England and instantly felt attracted to the beautiful lady, Serina however was immune to his charms. Tired of her rejection Remo made a deal with Serina's father Arthur welsh.
Arthur adored his daughter very much and found this opportunity in his favour as if his daughter marries into one of the most powerful family he'd not have to worry anymore about his daughters protection, his daughter was the only heiress of his Gang and he needed a strong man by her side, and thus began the love hate relationship of serina and Remo.
Remo fell in love with serina's fierce nature but serina however remained indifferent towards him,
But one incident changed everything and serina finally found it in herself to forgive Remo and give him a chance. Over the years the couple fell head over heels for each other and had 3 kids,
Stefano Garcia the eldest,  Alessio and Sofia Garcia,the twins.

Stefano

I hated social gatherings , it was my Mother and fathers 32nd anniversary and currently I was speaking to some snobby guy who was going on and on about his company, his non stop chattering was giving me a headache and all i wished for is to put a bullet in his head.

"Hey stef" I looked around to see kiara standing in front of me in all her glory. She rushed towards me and jumped into my arms like usual. Kiara was wearing a black colour gown which had slit near her leg, and her platinum blonde hair were straightened on her back.
Kiara was always a bold person, unlike HER.
Kiara liked to dress boldly, but she hated wearing anything that'd expose HER too much or make HER standout.
Kiara and Her were best friends since childhood, they were both daughters of my capos and were always attached to the hip, but it All drastically changed when she decided to betray me in the worst way possible. I still remember how miserable I felt during those times and Kiara was always there with even though her best friend had  backstabbed her, Kiara supported me alot in that period.
" Hi ki." I reply.
I chatted with her for awhile and notice that she looks a little lost today, I'd have to ask her about it later. Our conversation was interrupted as  Antonio Falcone, kiara's father along with my parents who came near us.
My father gave me a nod and my mother completely ignored my being, like she's been doing for the past four years. Falcone hugged me and gave me a smile.

My relationship with my parents became strained four years back and they were still upset with my decision. They still thought that it was me who misjudged the whole situation whereas only I knew what I saw. Kiara went to meet some guests with her father, and seeing the chance I started to initiate a talk with my mother.
" Hello Mom."
" Yes stefano? " To my utter surprise she actually replied, this were the only words she'd spoken to me since the past Four years.
" Mom can we speak somewhere more private, I wanted to inform you something."
" There's no need for it stefano, as your father has already informed me about your plans." Well that hurt.
"Stefano are you sure about this? " My father asked me.
"Yes dad." I replied.

My Mom looked Visibly hurt but she quickly masked her expression and went away and as usual my father followed after her like a lost puppy glaring at anyone who so as glanced at her.
"Attention everyone." My sister Sofia said gathering  everyone's attention.
"Today, My parents the star of the night completed 32 years of togetherness, so let's give a toast to the most beautiful couple in the world ,
To Remo and Serina Garcia." She cheered and everyone hooted back.
I took this opportunity and went near sofia on the stage and whispered in her ear.
"My Brother, the don Stefano Garcia wants to make an important announcement on this occasion, so please welcome Stefano Garcia one the stage."
What a Way to be dramatic, what else could I even expect from her. I quickly took the mic and decided to get over with this.

" As you all know today is my parents anniversary I want to make this day a little more special to them and everyone present here, everyone meet my fiance Kiara Falcone. " Saying so I called Kiara up on the stage, who gave me a smile and came up.
Everyone congratulated us and from ty corner of my eyes I could see my mother running out of the ballroom and my father following her, I knew they'd never support my decision but I'd make them understand that Kiara is not that bad.
"Congratulations Stefano, finally got what you were aiming for huh?" I turned around to see Alaric Bianchi staring at me.

" Thanks to you too, Ric ,Fancy seeing you here." I replied with a smirk.

" I wonder how you think you'd stay happy after spoiling my sisters life like that, no wonder you and that bitch suit each other, you're both murderer's afterall." He said with such venom that for  a moment I forgot that he once upon a time my bestfriend. I clenched my fist to control my anger and tried to cool me down.

" Careful Alaric, don't forget that iam still your Don and can kill you within minutes." I replied.

"I don't work for you anymore dear Stefano, iam not my father who will act like your dog and keep quiet no matter what you do. But Again what can I expect from someone who threw his pregnant wife outside of the house without any explanation and got her killed." And I saw red, I didn't know that she was pregnant. After we found her car caught on fire and everything burned, she was confirmed death, and when Alaric came to know about it , his attitude towards me changed. He did not follow his fathers footstep and quit the Mafia and started his own business, but he was still friendly with my father and mother, as my mother was the one who practically raised him.
" Look Alaric, it was not my fault, that she decided to sell out information to our rivals. " I told him in the most calm voice possible, It would be a lie to say that i wasn't affected when people mentioned her now and than, even after all this time my heart would miss a beat thinking about her and our unborn child that we lost. I loathed her for what she did to me, to us. But my heart still beats for her.

"Hey Alaric." I heard ki wish him as she came and stood next to me and held my hand.
"Hi Kiara."
"What we're you guys speaking about?" She asked as she leaned a little too close to me for my liking.
"Nothing, I was just congratulating Stefano and telling him how he found a perfect snake just like him."  Alaric did not give us a chance to respond and left from there.
.......
I was sitting in my home office after a long night and reading some important documents, when suddenly my father came barging inside my room.
" Hello to you too, Dad." I said pouring myself a drink.
"Cut the formalities short, Stefano. I'd appreciate from next time onwards You'd not spoil my wife's mood by announcing such things on her day." I rolled my eyes.

"Iam sure you did not come here all the way just to warn me about not spoiling your wifes mood, who by the way is my mother." I replied sarcastically.

"Iam happy to find that the girl did not eat your entire brain and there's still sense left In you." My dad replied.

"Dad please tell me what you're here for." It wasn't like I didn't want him here but since the last four years he never set foot here unless necessary.

" You're right. I came here to tell you, while you were busy playing family with falcone and his daughter, one of our warehouse under rossi was attacked and rossi and one of his sniper is dead and the box is missing." My dad replied.

"Who?" I asked.
"The word venus was carved in rossi's body." My dad replied calmly and I groaned.

For gods sake, I wonder who this venus guy is and what does he even want from us. This was his fourth attack in our warehouses in this month and I had no idea what this guy even wanted but one this was sure I would no longer sit here and watch him destroy generations of hardwork of our family.
Watch your back venus, because soon you'll be dead.
