"Mommy" the little girl asked. "Yeas darling" A beautiful woman, dressing in a sweet pink floral dress looked at her daughter with love in her eyes. "Where is my daddy" she asked again. The little girl has been asking fur her daddy fur years now, but her mother always said the same. "He is working sweetheart, he will be here soon"

"You have been saying that for years but he never came, doesn't he love me" she asked tears streaming down her cheeks. "Ohh darling, he loves you, more than you may know, he will be her soon" she promised.

Alexia

I was tried. I just finished my first week in college and promised mom I would drive home so we could go and have dinner on her birthday. Her birthday was on a Sunday this year and mum and I planned to make some pizza and eat in the couch while watching Gilmore girls.

I pulled into our drive way, turning of the engine and getting out of my car. All lights were out, which was weird, mum doesn't turn the lights off. She knew I was coming and she said she would wait for me.

I had this weird feeling, something was off. I knew it. I opened my bag and took my gun out. Mum forced me to carry one with me, she never told me why, why I needed to learn how to fight or why I was very good at it. It was one of mum's secrets.

I grabbed my gun, making my way up toward the front door. It was not looked, I had a very very bad feeling. Something was off.

I pushed the door open making my way inside. I wanted to call for mum but I shouldn't I knew that. If someone was still inside I couldn't call for her, I couldn't. I made my way into the living room and my hearth stopped.

The gun fell to the floor and I sank down to my knees. Someone killed her. My mum, the only one I knew, my only family, my best friend was dead. A sob escaped me and I took her hand in mine.

~now~

I couldn't breathe, I couldn't breathe. My lungs wouldn't take it in, the air. I couldn't breathe. "Shit" I heard someone say, but I didn't recognise the voice. "Get my fucking mother" I heard him yell again. My eyes were open but I couldn't see him, who ever was talking.

"Amore why do I hear from Alex that you kidnapped a girl and now she is having a panic attack" I heard a woman yell. "Mamma help her" the guy said again, his voice full of panic. What was happening.

I thing I was sitting on a bed, because I felt something dip when a person sat down next to me. "Hey sweetheart, breath with me, can you do that" she asked, taking my hands in hers. My ears were ringing and my breath was still going fast.

The woman next to me grabbed my hand tighter and placed it on top of her chest, so I could feel her heart beat. My breathing started to slow down as tears escaped my eyes.

I startet to look around the unfamiliar room. The bed stood in the middle of the room, facing a big window, the curtains closed. The walls were white and the room by it self looked very old and Italian?

Luca. The kidnapping. 

I pulled my hands back and wiped my eyes. Next to me was sitting Amara DeAngelo or better know in my world as Rosa Del Diavolo.

"It's alright, I'm Amara" she said, holding out her hand for me to take. "What your name, my stupid son wouldn't even tell me why you are here" she said, smiling lightly while shaking her head.

"Alexia" I said, taking her hand. "Well, it's well very nice to meet you alexia, could you explain to me why you have been kidnapped by my stupid son, the first one not the second."

Amara looked like the respected mafia Wife she was. Her dark hair fell down her back in loose waves and her make up was done perfectly. She looked like I always imagined her, even in her early forties she still looked gorgeous.

"I was assigned to kill his guard Dimitri" I said, looking her straight in the eyes. "Haha, you are the assassin, L'amore del diavolo, am I right?" She asked. "Yes"

"To make this clear, someone hired you to kill one of my sons guards most likely to get an easier kill at my son, but I'm guessing you didn't kill Dimitri but told him to tell Luca someone is after him" she said, but questioning a thing she was saying.

"Yes, I don't want the whole Italian mafia in my back, killing Dimitri would have given anyone a easier hit at Luca and I wasn't going to risk that" I told her, lightly rubbing my hands.

It's a nervous tick I have, I always do it when I get very nervous. "Relax darling, you are save here. Luca wasn't thinking with his head when he kidnapped you and he also could know that you have so bad nightmares, wanna talk about it?" She asked, taking my hand in hers again.

I shocked my head, this was not something I wanted to think about yet talk. Amara nodded and smiled at me. "Come, let's go and get you something to eat" she said, pulling me up from the bed. 

Amara was a kind woman, she hugged me before wrapping her arm around mine and pulling me out of the room. When she opened the door my eyes meet the cold blue ones from Luca. His gaze seemed worried, even now that he meet my eyes.
"She is just fine amore" his mother told him and Luca simply just nodded, his gaze not leaving mine.

"Alright, let's get something to eat, what do you want?" Amara asked me and I just shrugged. I had the feeling that I was going to stay here much longer than I originally thought.
