Sofia De Ricci:
Who was it? Was the only question running through my mind for the rest of dinner. I swore it was him. It had to have been Alex. But why would his father lie.
"Sofia, can you focus?" Matteo questions standing across from me in my apartment kitchen.. For the first time in years I'd accidently managed to sleep in meaning I happened to bump into my entire family on my way out. Of course Lorenzo instantly tried to act like a protective mama bear but Nana was quick to put him in his place.
"Yeah, shit sorry." I say dragging myself into the present. The closer the balls were coming the more stress I was feeling and this thing with Alex wasn't helping. I managed to sneak into Lorenzo's office after dinner and had a quick peep at his files knowing he has thousands of peoples information would be stored in his laptop, and he couldn't have made it any easier for me. His fucking passwords ItalianMafia for crying out loud. How obvious do you have to be. There wasn't much to find apart from some past history about Alex and his family's history including how his mum died.
"SOFIA!" Matteo bellowed slamming his hand again the marble counter. "Jesus what is going on with you?"
"Nothing I'm fine, have we got a location for Elijah to position himself?" I say looking back at the blue prints of the venue where the French are planning their ball.
"Yeah the place is covered with balconies which I'd assume would consist of guards but there's a walking deck above the main floor that I'd assume would be empty but we never know."
"I can take on a few guys." Elijah states crossing his arms as if to make his non-existent muscles bigger. I roll my eyes before saying, "Alright but if anything goes south that's on you and there's a possibility we can't get there on time ok." I could see a slight hint of fear in his eyes but he quickly shoves it off and nods. I smile turning to the list one the counter scattered with other random sheets crossing the last thing off.
"Right I guess were ready."
----------------------------------------------
Having the entire family in the house only made things even more chaotic. Everyone was running around getting ready looking for lost jewellery or masks but Lorenzo had made it clear as was not to be going and he'd know the moment I stepped of the premises. I slightly laugh to myself as I repeat the words in my head except his voices sounds completly different.
Suddenly a knock sounds on my door and I pick up the magazine I was using to distract myself from the banging and annoying sounds echoing though the house, "Come in." The door slowly creeks open and I rest my hand just above the small knife strapped to my leg.
I instantly release watching Lorenzo close the door and I pick up the magazine with my other hand again. "Hey." He softly says and sits on the bed next to me.
