Mafia Principessa

Chapter 43

Andrea's pov

The drive was 2 hours and 45 minutes. Soča Valley, I made it. I put the silencer on my guns as I started shooting the guards that surrounded the house. I found it strange that there were only ten gaurds, maybe more were inside. As I walked in I promised myself that I would bring Ria back home and I would kill Armando.

I walked in and scanned the place. The place  looked exactly the same, it's still just as I remembered it. I went to the basement and my eyes met with Ria's drowsy eyes. She had been drugged, she was out of it. Why is she laying naked on the floor while drugged, that would mean that he already....

His back was turned to me, he looked different, not like how I remember him, even his physic. Wait a minute, it's not Armando. That is my....

" Surprise, surprise little Luna. I knew you wouldn't disappoint. You did come alone right? Why am I even asking that of course you did. The tides have changed, who would have thought that you would risk your life for anyone." He said as he faced me. Our eyes met. He came close to me and took the gun from my hand.

" Relax I won't hurt you. Let's have a pleasant talk as father and daughter, without the guns shall we?"

" Father? Why are you here with Ria?
Why is she on the floor like that?" I asked, demanding an explanation.

" Don't look at me like that I didn't do that to her, your uncle Armando did, well at least tried because I stopped him before he could do anything to her. Why do you think I'm here Andrea?
This is my house and I was the one who called you here. The place where it all began, the house we would visit during summer vacation and most importantly it was from this  house that your uncle Armando took you away." He ranted on.

" Are you working with him. Is that why you have Ria. How could i not see this before ,you were probably involved in Allesandro's shooting too am I right?" I said as I put the dots together. How could I be such an idiot?

" Wrong. Armando and I have always been working together. I'm the one who gave you to him afterall. You needed some refining and serious training. After Armando was done refining you, you had surpassed every expectation I had ever  had. You were my experiment. The devil who would inherit my mafia," he explained meticulously. Hearing his words I recalled Micah's words, he had said the same thing to Diego and me when we were interrogating him. Which means that Micah wasn't talking about Armando when he was telling me all of those things because Armando was not the mastermind behind these conspiracies.

" The boss has never been Armando has it? It was your plan all along. Refine me, he says.You sent me to a man who lived to mistreat me, he almost destroyed me!" I said raising my voice.

" Come on now no need to be melodramatic Luna. I asked Armando to help me out with you, Luna you know that  before everything with the Russians happened you were steering away from the path I had laid out for you. You were becoming what I despise the most in life, weak. I had to do something about it, weaknesses make you imperfect and I needed you to be perfection. Armando's methods and training made you stronger. You became Shadow, you turned into Andrea Luna Galanis the Greek mafia donna, a δράκων(dragon). You are now mafia queen and it is all because of me, well Armando certainly played his part. I made you who you are today, you should be grateful. I did what all fathers do, help you reach your full potential. Believe me Luna, I saw it, the fire in you at just seven years old. I had to make those flames burn fiercely. You had to become unapologetic about what you are, I am a God, Luna and that is what you and I have always been." he says with the utmost pride. I couldn't help but laugh, sarcastically.

"YOU CLAIM THAT I WAS IMPERFECT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAD FEELINGS AND CARED AS A CHILD, BECAUSE SOMEWHERE IN ME THERE WAS A SOUL. YOU ARE WRONG ZEUS!
YOU MADE ME IMPERFECT. I AM FLAWED IN WAYS THAT I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN. YOU MADE ME WEAK. MY PAST WITH THE RUSSIANS, I CARRY IT LIKE A CROSS ON MY BACK,IT CRIPPLES ME, IT MADE ME WEAK. IT ALWAYS WEAKENS MY RESOLVE, MY RATIONAL THINKING. I WAS A CHILD, A FUCKING CHILD! AND YOU... I WAS A CHILD, I DIDN'T NEED TO BE STRONGER, I NEEDED TO BE SAFE!"" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I exploded. How could he even begin to try and justify what he did to me.

" Do not raise your voice at me Andrea Luna Galanis I am still your father," he said in a stern tone. That just infuriated me even more. Allesandro was right, he has never been a father to me, he couldn't be one.

" No you are not, not anymore, not after this. Did you really believe I would follow you over a cliff like I would have done before, the man I would have followed over a cliff was different. I do not recognise you. The worst part is I loved you, I did, I pardoned you for so many things but not anymore, not this. I stood up for you against my family's wishes. I clung onto the identity you gave me because I had always been proud of being your daughter, you were Zeus Alro freaking Galanis, the mafia god, my god, my father. Loving you was the biggest mistake I ever made Zeus Galanis. I curse the day you took me away from my family and gave me your last name." I shouted. It hurts, the truth really hurts.

Alexander's pov

I knew Andrea was going to try and do something crazy and chances were I was going to do something crazier by following her. At the moment she said that she would stay behind and watch the kids I confirmed it. She was up to something, the Andrea I knew would have not given in so quickly. It was only a matter of time before she figured out Ria's location and went to rescue her. All I had to do was wait for her. As I was waiting in Allessio's car to follow her I decided to call my Mama, she must be devastated about dad's news, we all are.
Mama and I talked for over an hour before Andrea came out and drove off.
I was following her in Allessio's car. I made sure to stay clear so she wouldn't suspect I was on her tail but also not to lose her in the process.

She stopped at a traditional Slovenian chalet-styled home. When I started hearing Andrea shouting I knew it's time to get in but before I did I called Armani and told him that Andrea did something stupid and I did something even more stupid by following her and right now I'm about to go inside of the house but before that I wanted to send them our location and then hung up before they could even scream at me. After I sent my live location I went inside with a gun in my hand. A shadow emerged and I shot him, the bullet went through his hand. Man I knew Sophia's lessons would come in handy one day.

"  I made you and now I will destroy you маленькая бабочка( My little butterfly)," the guy who looked exactly like my dad said as he raised the gun towards Andrea who stood next to Alexandria's naked body on the far corner. I watched as the hammer tensed like a string, a defeaning crack filled the air as I raced to Andrea. The bullet emerged from the muzzle and it landed on my chest. It was close to my heart, I could feel it. Andrea's horrified screams filled the room as she saw that I had taken the bullet for her.
