I couldn't go back..... lost in the middle of nowhere definitely brings anxiety. Being alone was my worst fear and unfortunately, that came true.
5 years earlier
My name was Siena Donatello and I was the daughter of the biggest Italian mafia boss ever to have walked the earth.I was a typical 17-year-old girl growing up in the breathtaking city of New York.My brother, Dallas Donatello, was the best assassin and youngest in America as he was only 22. As he grew older he grew out of shooting and I suppose wanted a normal life even though at 22 years of age he still lived at home.
Everything one day was perfect, like any normal day in the Donatello household, every day consisted of either fighting, writing or cooking and then we'd all have dinner at around 7 o'clock but my father was never there.He would be usually at a meeting with Lucas Castellano his right-hand man, saying that Lucas wasn't really a man at only the age of 19 he had to take his fathers spot at 18 after an attack from one of our rivals went down and his dad was shot.Or dad was at the warehouse with the men planning business/attacks or drinking.
I remember the start of the week where my life changed my step mother cooked the most delicious meal for the family but daddy wasn't there. I never knew my real mum and grew up knowing my step mother, Carina, was my 'mum'.I mean she was amazing and at the beginning treated us like her own but it wasn't the same, I never called her mum, and I guess because of that she started to act more like my big sister than a mother.
After a scrumptious meal Carina prepared, I ran up to my room to call my best friend, Vivian. Breathlessly I dialled her number and waited for a response. "Hey girl," I said down the phone: it sounded like she was in a busy area as all you could hear was muffled talking and babies crying in the background. "HEY SIENA WHATS UP?" Vivann replied knowing thinking that I could not hear her. "where are you" I tried to yell back but I do not think she heard me "I'll call you back" I said giggling to myself. My best friend Vivian has been there since day one and the only real friend I have, the only one who knows about the whole mafia situation. Viviana Castellano is Lucas' sister so that's the only reason we've grown up together and I guess that's why we get along so well.
As I was about to hop into bed I stared at a picture of a picture of me, Vivi, Lucas and Dallas when we had just moved into our New York penthouse. In the photo, I was lead in Lucas and Dallas' arms whilst Vivi was pointing a grey gun to the camera. I was looking a Lucas in the picture and he was looking at me, I could tell the minute we got there he had a huge crush on me.A cold dismal tear fell on the photo hitting my childhood cheerful face, in less than a week me and Vivi would graduate and go into the mafia. My heart broke in two, I didn't think I was ready. I still don't think I am ready, but I had to follow daddy's orders.
