  "He'd always been a man who followed his head and not his heart.The heart was just a bloody motor.The head was meant to drive"

Walking out the room and towards the basement cellars, I felt my beast inside jump in anticipation of finally getting some answers. I felt as if I was running in circles in Italy, I couldn't find the answers to the questions blazing in my head. I should have left the family home and came to deal with all this fucked up shit my self. But i'm too selfish, I needed to have them close even if that put an even bigger target on them. 

I thought back to my conversation with Raf earlier and couldn't help but sympathize with his thinking. He was right, I don't live my life with my heart only my head. I do what I have to, to survive. And I don't regret any of it. I will killing every person in the world if it means my families safety. 

I glanced at him as he opened the door for me to walk in. My demeanor switched to Capo mode as I walked in those doors. Raf's face was similar to my own, business. We needed to keep a united front if we were to get any answers out of the fucker. Gio looked over at me,his head bowed slightly in submission as I walked past him and towards the man in the cellar, strapped to the chair. He was conscious and his eyes were wild with confusion. 

As he saw me approach, I straightened my back and gave him my best glare. He squirmed in the seat under my gaze, as I saw him visibly swallow. Without stopping or hesitating I walked right up to the fucking bastard, swung my fist back and punched him right in his face. I felt my blood boiling, growing with each passing second I looked at the fucker. I took a step back and spat at his feet, looking at his bloody and probably broken nose. 

He was crying out in pain but I was just getting started. I had to break him before I spoke a word, I didn't have time to waist. I backed up a couple feet and unbottoned my jacket, my eyes in slits as I stare at the man. I yanked the jacket off and threw it at Matteo who walked into the room at the same moment. I unbottoned my cuffs and rolled up my shirt.  

I smirked as I held out my hand so Raf could pass me a tool. I watched as the terror and fear crept it's way onto the mans face. I reviled in the act as my beast inside was about to make his appearance. And I wasn't going to stop him this time.

I tucked my baby girl Callie into the bed as she managed to fall asleep. I glanced at the sky outside as it was turning into the darkness that consumed us every night. "Goodnight baby." I whispered kissing her temple before tip toeing out the room and shutting it softly. Cata and Dantae were already in bed, the twins Kalani and Kaia helped with them. They can be sweethearts when the wanted to be. 

AJ and Marcio and the boys came back about 2 hours ago before dinner. To no avail they didn't get any info. so they went to join their fathers in the basement. Adriano hasn't come out of that basement for about 7 or 8 hours now. I didn't want to imagine the pain the love of my life was inflicting on that man. 

Ales hadn't come out of her room all day, not even for dinner and I was worried. I tried earlier to check on her but she was still sleeping. I understand her fear, her worries. Sleeping is the only way to not feel so scared, it was something I used to do when I was still living with my dad. If I was asleep, I didn't have to think about my problems or fears. It was just me and my dreams. 

I walked down the aisle and knocked gently on Ales's door. I heard a small voice murmur something from inside so I took it as a welcome into the room. I pushed the door open ajar to see her curled up on the bed. She laid her head on the headboard as she held her knees to her chest her arms wrapped around her. I walked in as she looked up at me as tears filled in them.
