Sin and love

Italy again

Alexia

I never imagined that Italy would feel so familiar. Not after everything that happened. Now Spain was my home, but Italy, it was just something else. After Luca kidnapped me and brought me here from New York I wanted nothing more than leave again. Hi back to my life how it was before, being an wanted assassin and earning money for myself.

I leaned my head back against the cold window of the SUV. I never thought that after everything that had happened in my life I would end up here. When I was a child I wanted to become a lawyer and at one point a teacher. Even an artist was one thing I dreamed of and when I was around 6 I wanted to become a professional ballerina.

After my mother died I felt so much anger and pain and I never thought that I had such a talent in killing people. Now I know the reason for that talent, yet still maybe I could have become something else.

Amara chose to become an assassin. She lived the life nobody would have dreamed about with parents you did not want. She chose that life. Maybe I would have chosen differently. Maybe not.

We pulled up in front of the DeAngelo mansion and stepped out of the SUVs. The house looked just as i remembered, yet the few days I had spend here I had not been able to enjoy the architecture of this place.

The doors opened and a young woman stepped out and ran toward Luca, trowing her armed around him. It took everything in me to not flinch at the sign, at the way she hugged him like he was hers. Luca wrapped his armes around her too and pulled her against him.

I could not look away, even through the sign was hurting me more than I would like to admin to myself. After what felt like hours Luca pulled away and pushed her lightly from him looking her all over. I had never seen him like that, so happy and sweet with someone. Who was she to him? And what was I?

"It's good to see you again Gina" he then said, smiling at her. Alex stepped forward her too and pulled her against him, before ruffling her hair in a brotherly way. "Stop that you idiot. I have not seen you guys since you left, did you take care of my brother well Luca. It should I rather asked if my dump brother took good care of you"

Luca and Alex rolled their eyes before Lucas gaze met mine. I tried to look as unbothered by the situation as possible, yet I could not manage that completely. "Gina, when have guests. Guys this is my little cousin Gina, Gina that are Matteo, Niko, Pedro and Alexia"

Gina turned toward us and when she saw me she rushed toward me and pulled dme into a hug. "It's soo cool to actually met you, my aunt talks about you all the time since you left. She is amazed by you and the fact that you are an assassin. That's so cool"

She pulled away and I smiled at her. "It's nice meeting you too, I did not know that Luca had a younger cousin. "I'm only you get by five years, while my brother is one year younger than him, did you know that. My mother is his father's sister and my father is his father's best friend. How cool is that" I nodded at her words.

"Sorry, let's get you inside and all settled" she then said and all walked up the stairs and inside the mansion. Amara and Ace were talking to each other when we entered, Amara looked very angry with him until they heard us.

She plastered in a smile and walked over to us. "It's so nice seeing you all again and seeing you all in one piece. I had rooms prepared fur you all. Alexia you will have the room you used last time again, if that is alright for you" I nodded at her words and smiled.

Luca walked toward his mother, placing a kiss on her cheek before he whispered something in her ear which made her smile. She placed her hand in his cheek and smiled at her oldest son like he was the most important thing in her life.

"I would like to cook dinner this evening, so that we all can spend a night together. Since it has been so longs since we have had you and your family Matteo" she then added and smiled. I excused myself and made my way toward the room I had been staying in just a few weeks ago. 

The bed had been made, while the bedding was changed too. The curtains were pulled open and gave free the view of the gardens. This room felt like home, just in a different way. In the far corner I saw boxes piled up, which was confusing.

I walked over to them and opened the first one I could reach. It was filled with books, books I knew. I went to open the next one and saw this one full of close. One was full of pictures and another one of my electronic devices.

Those boxes were filled with my stuff. The stuff I left in my apartment and could never take with me because I was drugged and kidnapped. I sat down on the floor and started to look into each one of them.

"He let someone pack up your apartment and ship it over here" I heard someone say behind me. I turned my head and my eyes met amaras. "Luca. He called me and told me to not be worried if some boxes arrive and to place them in this room, your room"

And with that she turned around, closing the doors behind her and leaving me alone with more questions than I ever had before.
