"What do you think is happening downstairs?" I asked, twirling my knife between my fingers. Don't worry the door is locked.

Apollo gave a casual shrug, his attention on his Nintendo Switch. "Probably some stupid mafia shit."

Athena on the other hand let out an exasperated sigh. "I don't know why they aren't sharing anything with you!"

I was about to respond but my phone started ringing. "It's Jace," I announced causing both of them to shift their attention to me.

"у нас есть проблема," Jace announced causing us to realise the severity of the situation. "Мы получили письмо на пороге нашего дома, пока вы были в отъезде, и кажется, кто-то знает, кто знает, кто вы."

We have a problem. We received a letter on the doorstep of our house while you were away and it seems that someone knows who you are.

"Что написано в письме?" I asked, feeling a knot forming in my stomach.

What is written in the letter?

"Фото было бы проще, я пришлю его вам как можно скорее," Jace said before ending the call. He's lucky it's a phone call if not a bullet would've went through his head.

A photo would be easier, I'll send it to you as soon as possible.

the letter

Dear Natalia,

It seems like you didn't think anyone would find out about your "occupation." Does your brothers know? How about all the memories you had over here? Don't you want to come back?

Imagine all the pictures I have of you leaked to your brothers. Do you think they would still want you with all those scars on your body?

Consider this a friendly warning, Natalia Romano. You may have escaped once but this time, I'll make sure death finds it's way to you.

Love,
You know who.

end of letter

"F*ck!" I cursed, hurling my phone across the room.

Apollo swiftly got hold of my phone, reading the letter before it got snatched by Athena.

"Is it who I think it is?" Athena asked, her voice laced with suspicion.

I nodded with a clenched jaw. "Who else would be dumb enough to send me this letter? Of course it's him!"

"Wait... Nat, did you see?" Apollo urgently asked, his eyes flickering to the notification that just popped up on his phone.

"See what?" confusion clouded my expression.

Athena, who had been peering over his shoulder, suddenly paled. "Look at your notifications," she said, tossing my phone back to me.
