Aurora Costello.

Chapter 34

Elijah's PoV.

"WHAT THE HELL IS ALL OF YOURS PROBLEMS I WAS GONE FOR 6 MONTHS, BEFORE THAT I WAS KIDNAPPED FOR A WEEK AND NOT ONE OF YOU REALISED AND ONLY A MONTH BEFORE THAT I WAS GONE FOR SIXTEEN WHOLE FUCKING YEARS. YOU GUYS, BEFORE I BECAME DONNA, WHERE THE LARGEST MAFIA IN THE WORLD AND YOU COULDN'T FUCKING FIND ME. BECAUSE OF YOU I HAD A CHILDHOOD STRAIGHT FROM A HORROR FILM BUT I DONT SIT THERE AND BLAME YOU, WANNA KNOW WHY? BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE YOU ALL, THESE SIX MONTHS YES I'VE BEEN TAKING OVER MY EMPIRE BUT NOT ONCE COULD I ERASE ALL OF YOUR FACES OR YOUR VOICES FROM MY BRAINS, ALL OF YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SIT OVER THERE AND JUDGE ME FOR MY LIFE CHOICES BECAUSE WHEN IT REALLY BOILS DOWN, I HAD NO FUCKING CHOICE." Aurora screams at us.

I missed my babygirl so much! I know I'm one of her many brothers but I see her as my daughter. She is an amazing girl and I missed her so much when I thought she had died.

But now she's back and she's the queen of the underworld. That doesn't change how much I love her and would die for her in an instant but seriously? Queen of the underworld.

I get the taking over the Russians and polish really I do, any of us would have done the same if we where in her shoes. But the rest of the mafias? What the hell does a seventeen year old girl need over 900,000 mafia men working for her for?

I get she thought it was the only option but Jesus Christ she went above and beyond. Papa hasn't uttered a word since he saw her yesterday but the rest of us?

We are all very opinionated and head strong. She's seventeen, it's our job to protect her not the other way round. I even saw Asher struggling to keep quiet.

And then I saw her begin to shake after she'd finished speaking to Arlo. She paled almost whiter than snow and her eyes where watering. Then I saw it.

The blood seeping from her shoulder.

Flashback from that night six months ago came flashing into my brain. Max jumped into action and pushed blade away, who by the way called her baby in front of us all? Taking her up to our hospital where the doctors immediately rolled her into hospital leaving us anxiously waiting.

Dante's PoV

Honestly I'm so lost right now.

Not only have I learnt that my triplet sister isn't dead, but also that she is the Russian mafia queen which also means she's about 100 other mafias Donna too, she died for 7 minutes and 42 seconds, paid off a doctor to tell us she died, faked her death. And if that wasn't enough, she's the queen of the underground and is now bleeding in the hospital near death. Again. I'm mad at her but not because I'm disappointed in her. I'm mad at her because she puts everyone's needs in front of her own. She just waisted 6 months of her life trying to protect us, but it's our job to protect her.

She was gone for 16 years. She's barely lived? Why the hell does she want to be the queen of the underworld, when is she going to have time to be a child?

Maximillo's PoV -

"WHERE THE LARGEST MAFIA IN THE WORLD AND YOU COULDN'T FUCKING FIND ME. BECAUSE OF YOU I HAD A CHILDHOOD STRAIGHT FROM A HORROR FILM BUT I DONT SIT THERE AND BLAME YOU, WANNA KNOW WHY? BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE YOU ALL"

Shit

I love Aurora more then anyone in this world. She's my left lung but what the actual fuck is she thinking.

She's signing her whole life away but what scares me the most is I don't think she cares.

She hasn't lived, she has no idea what it means to be loved, to live her life thoroughly, to be home late from curfew without being beaten to a pulp, to go to a highschool party or football game. And although I was only a kid when she was kidnapped, I was an adult when I took over the mafia. I should have tried harder to find her, I could have saved her from those monsters and given her a better chance of a fucking life.

Now she's on an operating table a-fucking-gain and it's my fault again.

As soon as she wakes up I'm going to make sure she knows how much I love her. How important she is to me because god knows she doesn't feel it.

Alejandro's PoV-  (papa)

Mi princesa is alive.

She's alive and I can't build the courage to say a word to her. I feel so sick, she is the queen of the underworld because she thought that was the best way to keep herself and her family safe.

I failed her so badly, that she doesn't know what it feels like to be a kid, and instead has signed herself away to becoming the most sort after leader of the underworld. Not only that but she has also set her mind on showing her full identity to the underworld on her 18th birthday.

And if all of that isn't enough, she blames us for not finding her sooner, she blames me, and she thinks none of us realised her disappearance the week before we thought she died.

I killed 732 people looking for her in one day.

I would raise hell and burn the entire world for mi princesa if that kept her safe. But what's killing me is I can't put into words how much I adore her, I don't know how to fucking speak to her.

I've kept my speech to a minimal these past 6 months and in the last 20 hours I haven't spoken a word.

My babies home. But I don't think she trusts me.

I need to gain her trust back.

Roman's PoV:

Rory's back.

She's fucking alive.

And she's the mother fucking queen of the underworld.

Under all the shock, frustration and sadness I feel for my bambina, I'm so fucking proud of her.

She took her sadness, and fear and turned it into a ball of anger, then she fucking dominated and now she's nothing less then a badass.

My sister is Reina Del Inframundo.

I'm fucking proud of her.

But I'm also scared for her. She doesn't seem fazed by such a huge life jump, she seems nonchalant but her feelings must be intoxicating her.

I also noticed she's wearing glasses, and she has a scar on her eye, half of that eye is also shut. Like mine.

What happened to you baby?
