UPSIDE DOWN

~ 22 ~

Andrea

I am never unprepared, I always have a plan in mind and I hate it when things go as planned. Which does happen more often than I intend it to. 

And Sylvie ending up in the hospital, while all my brothers and Oscar were hurt, which was not on my plan for the week. 

I've been planning an attack on Viktor for a very long time, and I think it's time to execute it, I want him to suffer, I want him to feel the pain. 

He hurt my sister, there's no way he's going to get out alive. And he just made the mistake of giving me time until the Ball, just enough time for me to get this plan to action. 

I've had many men of mine working undercover, they may not be very close to the higher authority, but they know enough about the whereabouts of the area. 

Which is perfect for what I'm about to do. 

Me and Luca walk around as I explain him the plan, as expected, he's on board. 

"So, this is going to take place during the mafia ball?" He asks, I simply reply with a nod. 

Before I can say anything else, I head my phone vibrate in my pocket. I immediately panic looking at the called ID, why would they call me, did somethign happen to Sylvie?

"Is Sylvie ok?" That's the first thing I ask, and Luca's attention shifts his attention away from the trees, and towards me. Panic written all over his face. 

"Yes, she's fine, they're planning to take her off of the sedation," Francesco explains from the other end of the phone. 

"Oh ok, that's good" I sigh in relief, a moment ago, my entire life flashed in front of my eyes out of fear of losing her. 

"She should be awake in a while, why don't you guys come up" He informs as I let him know we're on our way before hanging up. 

"They're taking Sylvie off of the sedation, she will be awake in a while" I turn towards Luca informing him about the news.

"What are we waiting for then, let's go" A smile tugs at his lips as excitement floods his body. 

Sylvie

I've been trying to open my eyes for a while now, but I can't seem to be moving anything right now, I slowly try to move my hands and legs, but I don't think I'm truly moving them. 

I finally happen to open my eyes, putting in all the energy I have in me. I take a moment to blink to adjust to the bright lights around me. 

I notice buck of noises in the background, but I can't seem to really understand anything that they're saying. 

I feel numbness for a second before every part of my throat starts to feel like fire, a cough makes it's way up my throat pulling my body forward, as I feel a tube being pulled out. 

I violently cough, feeling a soothing hand on my back. Once the cough dies down, I feel myself being laid back down as I close my eyes momentarily.  

I open my eyes again, trying to focus on the faces in front of me, I blink trying to recognize them. 

It takes me a while until my vision comes back to normal before I recognize the people as my brothers, and Oscar, standing in front of me. 

"Hey, Sylvie, you're ok, you're safe now" I hear Luca's soft voice reach my ears as he rubs the back of my hand, I look at him confused. Where are we?

"Where are we?" My voice comes out rather raspier than usual. Looking around, I find a needle attached to my left arm, a few machines on the side. 

Before anyone could reply to my question, a man, no no wait. A doctor makes his way into the room, "Hello Sylvie, I'm Dr. Romano, and you're in the Hospital right now" He explains.
