Haileys POV

A year passed in no time. A year since I left New York. A year since I started working as an assassin again. Yeah you heard that right. I am doing what I am the best at. I moved to Rome, Italy and started working for a man named Silvio Fiorentino. He is also a mob boss. We got really close over the last year. He helped me through a tough time and is like an older brother to me.

*Flashback*


...the night we met...


I was at a bar drunk of my ass with my gun casually lying next to me on the bar. I was pulled out of my thoughts of Federico when a man pulled the chair next to me. He sat down and I looked at him. Must say he was very attractive but not as much as Federico. He had hazel colored hair and almost black eyes.Yes he was muscular but not as much as Federico.

"You know you shouldn't leave your gun like this." He said in a thick Italian accent. "Oh fuck off." I said picking up my drink. "You know you shouldn't be rude to strangers. They can be god knows who. And kill you." He answered taking the drink from me. "E tu chi cazzo sei?" (And who the fuck are you?) I asked annoyed. "Silvio Fiorentino. Sono il don della famiglia Fiorentino." (I am the don of the Fiorentino family.) He said calmly. "You know you shouldnt go around telling people you are a mafia don." I said smirking.

"Pensavo non ti dispiacesse, Shadow." (I thought you wouldn't mind, Shadow.) He said and I immediately took my gun pointing it at his head. "How the fuck do you know who I am?" I asked codly. "The tattoo." He answered motioning at my snake tattoo. "You are quite the legend here." Silvio said and I put my gun down. "It would be an honor if you worked for us." He said and I smirked.


*End of flashback*

And that's how I became the member of Fiorentino mafia. Actually I am the second in command. Not only an assassin. Silvio of course knows I worked for Federico and what happened between us and it turns out he knows them but they don't work together so often. And if you ask what I did about Federico and me. Absolutely nothing. I mourned our love and moved on. I am now dedicated to work and don't think of him. Most of the times.

There are moments when I wake up at night crying because of him and that's when Silvio comes in. He always holds me until I fall back asleep. And no we did not bang because we really do have a sister brother bond. And if you wonder if I have a boyfriend. No I don't. Just some casual hookups to statisfy my needs. No feelings included. So yeah. That's my life now. I am currently drinking a cup of coffee in the kitchen of Silvios mansion. I don't live here but I come here for work of course. I decided to buy myself a penthouse and not make the same mistake I did in New York and move in with my boss. I am once again pulled out of my thoughts by none other than Silvio.

"What are you doing sorelina?" (little sister) He asked as he came over and kissed my cheek. "Milking a cow. What does it look like dipshit?" I answered sarcastically and he rolled his eyes going over to the fridge and grabbing a bottle of water. "Anyway. Hurry up with your coffee we have shitload of work to do." He said drinking the water. "What do we have for today?" I asked. "We have some contracts to go over and visit a few people in the cells. Tomorrow one of our allies is coming because he has some trouble with the Russians." He explained. "Fucking Russians."

Yeah you guessed it. Silvio has problems with them to. Russians and Italians do not have a good relationship. "Okay then. I am done with my coffee . Lets get to work." I said as I placed my cup in the sink.

Federicos POV

A year passed in no time. A year since I made the worst mistake of my life. A year since a part of my soul left me. A year since I last saw the love of my life. Till this day I don't know where she is. I don't want to know. Because I will go wherever she is and take her back with me. Tell her how sorry I am. Hold her and breath in her scent. But I know I hurt her enough times. And I cant live with the thought of her being unhappy. I hope she is okay wherever she is. I cant say I want her to move on because that would kill me. Knowing someone else has her.

In the past year our mafia grew and grew. Because I became the most cold hearted version of myself. I buried myself in work not opening my heart for anyone. I am living in celibacy not touching anyone because no one is like her. And about those pictures. We found out that the Vanessa bitch or whatever her name is sent them with the help of Russians of course. But she got what she deserved. The Russians, we cant find yet. Those cocksuckers are hiding very well.

Aria and Kai are expecting a baby. Aria is 4 months pregnant and I couldn't be happier. They are going to be great parents. Nicholas and Aurora got married a month ago. Only I stayed alone without anyone. And I don't need anyone after her. Right now Kai, Nicholas and I are on a flight to Italy. Aria stayed home because of the baby and its killing her that she cant go with us. We are going to visit an ally of ours regarding our common problem with the Russians. We are headed to Rome. Fucking great.

I was not in the mood to travel. But anything for business. The Russians started messing with our warehouses and shipments and we need someone of trust to help us. "Can I get you something to drink?" The flight attendant offered. "No." I said and she nodded before going over to Nicholas and Kai. I needed to be 100% sober for this shit we are going to plan. We are going to land soon anyway. "Do you think he can really help us with the Russians.?" Nicholas asked. "Of course I do otherwise we wouldn't be traveling to fucking Rome you dipshit." I answered glaring at him. Yeah I have very little patience for anything now. "Okay okay I just asked no need to attack idiota." He answered rolling his eyes. "Could you not fight for about 5 fucking minutes." Kai asked. "No." Nicholas and I answered at the same time. "Ugh I cant travel with you goddamn children." Kai said.

We continued the flight and about half an hour later we landed. As promised there was a car waiting for us at the airport to take us to him. We drove through the beautiful city towards the mansion. I really do love Italy but only if I am here to visit and not work. About 20 minutes later we arrived in front of the gate. The guards let us through and as soon as the car parked we got out of it.

"Mr. Mancini. Don is waiting for you at his office. Follow me." One of the guards said and took us through the mansion. It is very beautiful but mine is more beautiful. We arrived in front of his office and the guard knocked before opening the door for us. "Mancini." Silvio said getting up from his seat with a smile. "Silvio." I said going over to hug him. We may not be in contact that much but he is as much my friend as Nicholas and Kai.

"How have you been damn it? You sure look good." He said going back to his seat as we took our places in front of his desk. "Not bad. How about you?" I asked. "Well its good. The business is also good. You know I have a new underboss." He said smirking. The fuck? "Really?" I asked. "Yes. I will call her now." He said. Her? Okay. "Hey come to my office the guests arrived." He said before hanging up the call. A minute later the door opened and in entered... Oh my god. Hailey.
