The Mafia Princess

Chapter 2.

Upon arriving home, Archer and Fallon are greeted by their brothers, Apollo, Enzo, and Hawking. While Apollo and Enzo express joy at the return of their baby sister, Hawking appears quiet and concerned. Archer carefully carries the sleeping girl towards the mansion's entrance, and Apollo is restrained by Enzo, who signals for him to remain still and quiet.

Upon entering the mansion, Damion and the other bodyguards halted in the living room while Archer gently laid Fallon on the couch.

Archer noticed his father's tears as he gazed at his peacefully sleeping daughter.

Overcome with emotion, Damion leaned down and tenderly stroked Fallon's cheek, shedding tears of joy.

"She's beautiful isn't it?" Archer asked. The rest of his siblings were already at the living room.

"She is. But why is she so thin?" Enzo asked.

Despite her emaciated appearance, with prominent cheekbones and visible collarbones, Fallon's beauty remains undeniable. Archer's siblings, accustomed to being deceived, acknowledge the DNA test results that confirm Fallon's identity as their long-lost sister. The previous discrepancies in DNA tests with other girls they brought in further solidify their belief that they have finally found the right person.

The Fioravanti siblings spent almost four hours in the living room, waiting for the servants to clean up Fallon's room. They examined her belongings, including her journals, gun and ammunition, knives, wallet, and passport, and wondered about her life. Hawking, in particular, became emotional as he read through her journals, prompting his husbands, Cooper, Carter, and Caleb, to comfort him. They noticed how tightly he was holding Fallon's journal, with the veins on his hand visible.

"What's wrong?" Caleb asked.

Archer, Neo, Enzo, Apollo, Elijah, and Emery are all gathered in the living room when Caleb's question draws their attention.

Archer stands up with his arms crossed, Neo holding his hand, while Enzo and Apollo look up from their seats. Elijah and Emery stand behind them, sensing the anger in Hawking's expression that suggests something is amiss.

"They fucking did this to her." Hawking replied, clenching his fist.

"What do you mean?" Apollo asked.

Hawking turned his focus to Fallon and then back to Apollo.

"She was mentally and physically abused, Archer. They fucking abused her ever since she was taken away from us. They made her into a killer. They made her into an assassin. Her life was pretty bad, Archer. That explains her scars on her body. Everywhere."  Hawking kick the table in fit of anger.

Upon hearing Hawking's words, the Fioravanti siblings were rendered speechless. Enzo grabbed the journal that Hawking had perused and quickly scanned through its pages, pausing at a particular page that drew his attention. As he meticulously read the contents, his eyes widened in astonishment, prompting him to hurl the journal in anger and mutter a hushed curse.

"Neo, do you mind taking a towel and warm water? Need to clean the mess on her face." Damion ordered. Neo nodded and smile.

[Main Character POV ─ Fallon]

Upon regaining consciousness, I found myself surrounded by a group of concerned men, one of whom I recognized as Archer. Despite attempting to rise, a sharp pain in my waist prevented me from doing so, prompting an elderly man to assist me in sitting up.

"Where am I?"

With a hoarse voice due to a sore throat, I cautiously accepted a cup of water from a stranger after Archer's nod of approval, as I've learned to be wary after experiencing perilous situations where even seemingly harmless gestures could pose a threat to my life.
