Hello, my name is Aria. I'm the princess/queen of the mafia. I run the business alongside Mason, who I consider family and affectionately call 'uncle'. We have numerous facilities dedicated to combat and weapons training. At 21 years old, I co-own the business, but I primarily run it because people are wary of crossing paths with Mason or me. My friend Ellie is my second in command. I trust her implicitly. She's quite feisty, especially when provoked. You might wonder how I knew I was part of the mafia. Mason told me, and I've been immersed in this life since childhood. All the training was necessary because Mason promised my father he'd keep me safe. Do I have siblings? Yes, a brother. I haven't met him yet, but I hope to someday. Neither Mason nor I know his whereabouts. As for me, I'm a feisty girl with an attitude. I'm not someone to be trifled with; I have no patience for nonsense. Now, let's move on to the story.

Aria's POV:

"Where's my darn money, Nathan?" I screamed at him, kicking him repeatedly as he grunted in pain on the ground. "I told you I need more time. Things have been slow. I'll have it soon, I promise," he said, bracing for another kick. "No, I gave you enough time. It's not my damn fault things have been slow. I want my money, and you will give it to me. I'll give you 48 hours to get it, or I'm going to blow your brains out. Until then, I'm going to beat the crap out of you, so maybe you'll move faster. Sound good?" I said with a smile on my face. He shook his head 'no' and started to beg. "Please, no. I don't want any more trouble." Before he could say more, I punched him in the stomach and face. He started to cough up blood before passing out, screaming. I shook my head. I just wanted the money he owed me from when I lent him some. "Gosh, if only you would have learned. Maybe this time you will," I said aloud before walking back to the car where Ellie had been waiting for me. I opened the door and hopped in. Ellie gave me a look. "Did he give you the money, or did he ask for more time?" She asked as she drove away. I rolled my eyes, sighing before I responded. "Well, Mr. Asshole wanted another extension so that he would have more time to get me my money. But I'm only giving him 48 hours before I send someone after him," I said, watching her roll her eyes as well. "Doesn't he know by now just to give you the money, or is he a dead man? He owes you thousands, Aria. What did Mason say before you went to meet this jerk?" She said, glancing back and forth from the road to my face. I sighed before I responded. "You know Mason and how he'd react to the situation. He'd probably give the dude fewer hours than what I gave, but it's my call, not his. I'm the leader just as much as he is. I get to make the calls," I said, looking out the window as we drove by many businesses and houses. She sighed before responding. "Yeah, that's probably what he would say. Heck, he'd probably just put a bullet in his leg to make him work faster," she said with a smile, knowing he'd definitely do that. We sat in silence as we drove back to headquarters where the rest of the men and Mason were. There's not much for me to do except gather some men just in case I don't get my money, so they can take all he has and much more.

Time skip and different POV.

Masons Pov: "What do you mean they know about Aria?" I screamed at the man in front of me, receiving the worst news ever, my worst nightmare. The man in front of me trembled in fear of my potential reaction and handed me a folder. "Read that file our people discovered today," he instructed. I picked up the folder and opened it, only to see Aria's name and more information, but not a single picture, which means they haven't discovered her yet. I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. This was stressing me out. I started to ask something, the reason why I hired them. "Did you find any information on whether her father is still alive and where the leader of Killer Skulls is, at least?" He nodded before responding and handed me another folder. "We located the leader. He's been seen around here since he has a mansion in the south of England. As for her father, we aren't sure if he's alive, but we have reason to believe he might be in one of the jail cells in the mansion," he said, showing me what they had. I sighed because that's not what I wanted to hear. I wanted to know if he was alive. "Well, shoot, this means we have nothing but endless trails leading nowhere," I said in anger as I processed everything. "But there might be a way of finding out if he is. We just need to contact his son," he stated. I looked at him, confused. "He doesn't have a son, does he?" I asked, and he nodded before handing me a picture of a man whom I assumed was his son. "Victor has a son but doesn't openly admit it because his son rebelled from his father as soon as he turned 18. He made his own mafia with a few friends and some new recruits and has since then wanted to take down his father because his father cheated on his mother when he was born and didn't pay a single dime to his ex-wife to take care of his son. Once he got older, he realized he needed someone to pass the business down to, but his son rejected every offer since he wants revenge for what his father did," the man in front of me said, sitting down at the end of the table, waiting for my reply. My jaw dropped at the statement of what he said. I never knew he had a son. Maybe his son would be willing to work with us since we want revenge and to get Aria's father back. I then stood up and started to speak. "Is there a way to find his son and perhaps contact him?" I questioned, watching his face change as he thought over my words. "We could try to at least locate him and go forward when we do locate him, but I will say he's very stubborn and hot-headed," he said in reply to my statement. I nodded before saying, "Well, I'm going to need you and the rest of the men to find him by tomorrow if possible because I don't know how much more we can wait, plus we have to train some newbies for the fight," I said, and he nodded before saying he would try his best and left the meeting room. I sighed because these past years have been stressful. I'm hoping we can find out who took Aria's father and get our revenge because this will be the mafia's revenge.
