I have no idea what to feel; I have no idea what I need to do in order to protect everyone that I love. I need to inform Liam of the things that are happening, but not now because he would freak out. He will freak out anyways, but at least not now.

I also had a problem with the fucking Russian mafia now; everything started to get in shit again and I have no idea where to pick up from. I needed to inform Liam of the problem with the Russian mafia, and I also needed to talk with Enzo about Boris being alive.

"Amore, we will speak with Enzo together. I need to explain him everything and we can't do that on a phone." I looked at Declan and he was agreeing with me. I had a better idea, "You will call your mother and tell her that we will need to move the dinner to tomorrow. I hope she will understand that we are moving the day before for something important."

Scarlet looked at me and nodded her head. I looked at the time and it was already morning, there was no point of me sleeping after now, but if Scarlet wanted to sleep, I would lay on the bed with her.

"Um, there is one problem, she never gave me her number." She said, looking at me and Declan. Declan nodded his head and started getting to work because we needed to talk with Gio as soon as possible.

Declan came closer to us and gave Scarlet her phone with Gio's phone number registered. Scarlet didn't lose time, and she dialled her number right away, putting the phone on speaker.

I love this woman, especially after everything that we went through, when I found out that she was the girl in the orphanage and my first love. It's stunning how life can change in a matter of seconds, I loved her even before I knew that she was the girl in the orphanage, that little girl in her made me love her again without any one of us knowing about each other. That right there, is what faith is.

I never had hope that I would ever find that little girl who stole my heart even when she was thirteen. I think even Liam didn't have hope of ever finding Alice, and now they are expecting a child. But now everything had changed, and we are back together, the only thing that is annoying me is Dante. I never realized that he was also in our orphanage, that guy annoys the shit out of me. Though I know Scarlet told me that he has helped her a lot I can tolerate the asshole. For her, anything for her.

This whole time, she was so, so fucking close to me. She was my private assassin, and she even was working at my own club, I just never knew about her. Faith has a funny way of doing its thing. I never noticed her, and I blame myself for that because if I was a bit more careful, we would have found them a long time ago. She would have never been alone.

I loved her the second time without even knowing, that's why I would never let anything, or anyone hurt her. Even though she doesn't need me for that, I will always remove any rocks that would make her stumble. That's why I would do anything in my power to not see her the way that she is now. She's biting her nails, moving her feet, is a sign of her stress, stressing for Alice, and for us.

I can never imagine what she is going through right now, she always had to protect Alice and now she had to protect two people at the same time. Of course, Liam was there, but I understand her, she always needed to take care of Alice. They were like sisters.
