M A G N U S. D E. L A C R O I X

I should've killed her.

I regret it

If I did, I'm pretty sure that would be the end of there mafia.

I don't know how big their family is. I don't know if me killing get would do anything.

Im sure my dad would be happy though.

I didn't tell me dad about what happened, otherwise he'd punish me.

Liam came over a few hours after that interaction.

I told him what happened and he was shocked.

I didn't really listen to his ranting to me the whole time. I was just thinking.

I haven't seen her since that one time at the arena.

She's pretty.

I know she's part of a different mafia, but to be fair, I bet she thought I was handsome.

"Magnus."

She wouldn't stop looking at me, and because of that, I thought she was tracking me.

Even if she's pretty, it doesn't mean anything. Just cause I think someone is pretty doesn't mean that it means something.

"Magnus..?"

She's an asshole. I can already tell.

Should've already killed her.

"MAGNUS!" Liam yelled.

"What!" I yelled back.

"Did you even listen to a word I said?" He asked .

"Sure." I answered him.

"Then answer my question."

"salope idiote. ( dumb bitch)" I scoffed.

"c'est toi qui a été trouvé par ce connard d'italiens !(you're the one who got found by the italians asshole!)" Liam defended himself.

"Okay, that's enough. Let me practice." I said.

There I was again, playing my cello, aggressively.

I was frustrated.

Liam wouldn't stop yelling at me. I felt like by revealing me self, That Amira girl might get the hint that I live near that area, which I dont.

But if she does look, it still means she's in France. And if she gets more people, she'll be closer to find me.

Maybe she was telling the truth when she mentioned she didn't know me. Maybe I made a mistake and she's probably outside the mansion right now, armed.

I stood up at the thought, grabbing my gun off the table and walking out.

I held it up in the air, my finger on the trigger once I was outside.

I few moments passed. I know for a fact I look really silly. Pointing my gun around when no one is there. I just got really paranoid.

I headed back inside. I got a message from my dad.

"I'll be at the mansion in a bit. Please meet me in the grand living room. We need to discuss something." My dad texted me.

I was curious, hoping it wasn't anything about the Italians.

"Okay." I texted him.

••••••••••

About 15 minutes pass.

I was waiting for him. He soon came through the main door.

As I saw the double doors open, he marched up to me and had a seat across from me.

"You need me?" I asked

He sighed, then nodded to confirm.

"This is about the American mafia. They're planning an attack on the French and Italians. It's happening very soon." Dad explained.

"What will we do then? If it's very soon, shouldn't we plan by now?" I asked.

He sighed again.

"As the leader of this mafia, me and your mother decided that we should form an alliance with the Italians to defeat the Americans." He told me. "We will meet up with them soon to declare it and stand for the treaty."

I was shocked.

I had no words. I only looked at him. He looked down for a few seconds, then back up.

"I want you to understand. This is what we do. It's what we have to do. When you become the new leader, I want you to remember that some choices have to be made." He explained.

I didn't really know what to say.

We were really big rivals.

At this point, I don't even know if my dad remembers or not, but we had a big shipment and they stole it. It was mainly drugs and weapons like guns. It was worth millions.

My dad was exasperated and devastated when he found out.

He wouldn't stop cursing them and swore he'd kill them.

Clearly he doesn't know what he's talking about because now he wants to team up with them.

I didn't have anything to say. I didn't really know what to say in this situation. I was about to excuse myself, when he said one more thing.

"We will be flying there tomorrow to deliver and sign the treaty together to form an alliance." He said. "I want you to come. It will be good for you to see how this stuff works for when you become the new leader"

I just simply nodded my head, then left.

5:58 AM

I only got a few hours of sleep last night.

I woke up, finished packing my bags, and got ready.

A maid came to my room explaining I'll be staying there for about 2 weeks.

Long time.

I'm pretty sure Liam is coming too.

We have to stay that long for my dad and the Italians to plan against the Americans.

I thought about this all as I stayed in the shower, running fingers through my hair.

After some time, I turned it off and stepped out.

I got dressed in a black dress shirt with black dress pants. I didn't forget to attach my belt and guns on.

I put back my hair, then texted Liam.

••••••••••••••

6:52 AM

Liam arrived. The plane did too.

"I can't believe this is happening." Liam said.

I just shrugged .

My dad came outside along with a few body guards and we got on our plane.

Just a few hours and we'll be there.
