"So what are we going to do now?" Lorenzo asked, changing the topic before Grandpa could say anything more. 

"Yeah, how are we going to get and kill him?" Calix asked.

"Well, I have a plan," I say getting everyone's attention back on me. I wasn't going to tell them my actual plan but I can't have them interfering. It would be a pain in the ass, which I don't want to deal with later on, so fake plan it is.

"So what is your plan?" Uncle Karl asked.

"Since the mafia ball is in a few weeks and all the mafias are going to be there, we can attack him there and then take him to the warehouse for questioning and torture. That way we will have enough time to come up with the specifics of the plan." I explained.

"OK, that's not a bad idea. Does anyone have any other suggestions or ideas?" Grandpa said and everyone shook their heads no. 

"Well then, that's the plan for now. We can go over the details later on. Now Principessa, since it is your first ever ball, you will be introduced to the underground." He said.

"Ughh! Do I have to?" I whined, making everyone laugh.

"Yes, Principessa. You do." Emilio said with amusement in his eyes. 

Don't get me wrong, it is my first time attending a mafia ball. However, I have been in the backgrounds of balls before. And let me tell you, they are extremely long and everyone is going around faking a smile on their faces, making it seem like they like each other. But in reality, they would rather put a bullet in each other's heads. 

Nevan never allowed me to go to mafia balls since he didn't want anyone to see me or recognize me. However, sometimes I would sneak into the place it was being held, just to see what they were like.

I would hide in one of the top balconies or the shadows away from human eyes, watching everything from far away. I would always imagine myself being one of those girls, who got to dance with their father, brothers, and boyfriends, enjoying their time, talking with their families and everyone. I used to be so jealous of them thinking that their lives were so happy and perfect, while I had to suffer at the hands of a monster. 

You might be wondering, why I didn't just ask anyone for help or tell anyone about my kidnapping. Well, I tried once but one of Nevan's guards saw me and dragged me away. Later that night, I got the worst punishment ever. Since then I never tried to go to the balls or ask for any help.

"Well if we are done, then I would like to go to my room," I say, standing up.

"Well we have another question," Aunt Val said and I nodded for her to keep going. "We wanted to where you learned how to fight like that?"

"Yeah! You fight like you are a pro." Cyrus said.

"Yeah, that's because I am one. Nevan made me train every day. Now, can I go?" I answered.

"Yes, sweetie you can go," Grandma said with a sweet smile. I gave her a small smile and walked out of the office to my room.

I decided to rest for a little bit before going to see Liam and Killian in the afternoon. We were going to go over our plans and then hang out since we hadn't seen each other in a while.

Killian and Liam have yet to meet but I know they will like each other since they have similar interests and they both have a crazy personality.

Time skip...

We are currently at Ian's apartment, playing games on the Nintendo Switch. And by we I mean me, Killian, and Liam.

They are getting along great! Too great if you ask me. They are acting like they have known each other for ages when they met like an hour ago. If someone saw them they would think that they have known each other since birth or something.

Anyways, they are playing and I have to go get us some snacks since I lost last round and we made a bet that the loser has to get snacks. So here I am walking around in his kitchen trying to find something to eat and drink.

I opened every cabinet and drawer but this bitch has nothing to eat. Literally! Even the fridge has nothing to eat other than one lemon and two water bottles. 

Well, at least he has water and won't die from dehydration. Hunger for sure.

Ugh!! Now I have to go to the store to get snacks.

"I AM GOING TO THE STORE TO GET SOME FOOD!" I yelled from the kitchen since they were in the hangout area, which is to the other side of his apartment.

"OK!" They shouted back. Ugh!

I grab my purse and phone and walk down to the parking lot for my car. Weaving through traffic, I get to the store and start picking up a bunch of food and drinks in the cart. I also get a bunch of candies and chips.

After I paid and managed to get all the stuff in my car, I headed back to the apartment. When I get there I call Liam, telling them to come down to help me get the groceries up.

There are a lot of bags and I don't want to do two trips up and down the elevator, so they will help. Plus I got them food so their lazy asses should thank me.

Finally, after ages, they came down and took some of the bags, and we went on our way. They helped me put the groceries away and then each of us grabbed some snacks to eat.

We went back to the hangout room and played Xbox for the rest of the day. For dinner, we decided to order some pizza and wings, which was yummy. 

By the end of the day, we were very tired and ended up falling asleep at Killian's place. It was a fun evening.
