"What the fuck!" Pietro yells at the top of his lungs awakening me from my eyes-open nap.

"Why are you so fucking boring Lorenzo. Come on can't we make this year's Mafia ball an actual good one." The annual Mafia balls were taking place in around 4 weeks and we've only just started planning. Each mafia part of the famous five hosts a ball over 5 weeks. I love these balls as there's always someone willing to have a quick shag with them in the bathrooms. 

Over the past 6 years, we've struggled quite a bit, and ever since Sofia's confirmed death we all kind of went down a very deep dark hole that none of us could climb out of. 

Around 4 years ago, a burnt body that looked like Sofia turned up at our doorstep but once we checked the DNA to double check it was her, all our hopes were lost. Ever since Lorenzo as non-stop trying to get revenge on those motherfucking Serbians for what they did to her. The moment we saw her we knew it was the Serbians as their logo was stamped on the roof of the coffin. Her body was placed in a basic wooden coffin except there were words spray painted along the sides on the outside and inside of it saying shit like, 'slut', 'whore', 'traitor', 'Bitch' etcetera. 

With the help of Lottie, we all managed to seek help. It first started when Benjamino went into a really bad drug addiction and ended up in the hospital nearly once every month. But as most of the attention was on Benjamino at this point, Pietro started thinking it was okay to stop eating, to the point where he was in a hospital bed next to Benjamino. I got into an Alcohol and sex addiction, or as Pietro likes to say I went a bit feral. But then Matteo just shut himself out and became psychotic. Lorenzo stopped sleeping and drowned himself in work to distract himself from Sofia's death. Alessandro suffered but it didn't cause him to go mental in any way as Lottie helped him get through it quite quickly.

"Language!" Alessandro tones in.

"Grow up." Pietro snaps back.

"I agree with Pietro, all our balls have been so boring but I think this one should be bigger and more extravagant, like we could pick a theme" I state my idea joining in on the conversation. I knew why our balls had been so boring it was because we put them in the hands of Lorenzo who's just made them depressing. After all, that's how he's feeling, so apparently everyone's got to be miserable. 

Lorenzo was about to say something when there was a light knock on the door. Lottie walked in flashing us all a wide smile but we could all see she'd been crying. Alessandro immediately rose to comfort his wife. Yeah I know, wife!

"What's wrong Amore?" Her smile just increased and replied, "Nothing wrong but I believe there's something very important that you must all come see." We all give her a confused glance and she just sighs.

"Can't you see we're in the middle of a very important meeting right now?" Lorenzo spits at her rudely.

"No offense Lorenzo but what's in your living room right now is far more important than some ball." I bite my tough stopping any laughs from slipping out but Pietro fails. Since she married Alessandro she's been far more confident and knows when to shut us up, she's kind of like a mum in a certain way. I see why she and Alessandro clicked.
