Vincenzo Romano

After I heard gunshots and Lissy's screams over the phone I was so scared. For the first time in my life I was so scared.

I was scared to lose my little siblings. To lose my little brother and my little sister. Gladly Santino called me and I was on my way to the place where his phone was.

Matteo was next to me in my car as we speeded to the location. Our men were on their way. And the rest of our brothers were on their way too.

I saw Santino's car and when I drove towards it I saw Santino. He was laying on the road with blood around him.

"No. No, this can't be." I said as I stopped the car and rushed to him

Matteo was quick to call our private ambulance. He stood there looking at his older brother laying there in his own blood.

Two other guys were laying on the road, they were dead. As I crouched next to Santino I took his head and placed it in my lap, I pressed my hands over the bullet wounds to stop the bleeding.

"Brother, I'm here. I'm here. Open your eyes for me." I said as I gently touched his face with one of my hands

He didn't move or blink or even breathe. He was pale and cold.

Matteo checked the perimeter to see if Lissy was here, he checked the car too "Vincenzo, Lissy isn't here. I only found Jax." he said as he held puppy in his arms as he rushed to me and
Santino

"Is he dead?" Matteo asked as he held Santino's hand in his and tears filled our eyes

~Flashback from childhood~

"Vincenzo, I want to go with you." six years old Santino begged his big brother Vincenzo to go to the house party with him to meet his friends

"Santino, you know that I can't take you with me." Vincenzo said as he pinched Santino's cheek

"But why? I will be good." Santino said as he smiled and his cheeks turned red

He was a sweet kid, always doing everything so everyone would be happy. Their mother Maria was pregnant with Lissy at that time. And three years old twins walked around with their toys in their hands.

Their dad Vito was a very hardworking man. He was leading mafia at that time, but he always find time to be with his family.

"I would love to take you with me, Santino. But I don't know if mom and dad accept that." Vincenzo said as he looked at his little brother as he smiled and jumped in excitement

"I will ask." Santino said while smiling as he ran to the living room where their mom and dad were sitting while cuddling

Their dad Vito was eating a chocolate cake, the same that is Lissy's favorite now. And he gave his wife every other forkful of cake too. They looked so cute together.

"Mommy, can I go with brother Vincenzo to the party?" Santino asked as he hugged his mom

"A party?" dad asked as he raised his eyebrows

"There will only be my closest friends and I will keep my eyes on him all the time." fifteen years old Vincenzo said as he stood in the doorway
