Revenge Love

I

Since that dinner party lots of things changed.

Not only had two mafias found peace.

But Anastasia had changed,

And Damiano was no different,

Both changed, in different ways of course

Anastasia become into a young women and had taken a career in fashion.

While Damian became a calculating and merciless man, after all, it was in his blood.

But only one thing was sure, both had changed.

ANASTASIA

My father had called me from Russia, he said that I should head home for a while, of course I opposed at first. But my father only asked once, the next time it would be an order.

So, for now, I was in a long 17-hour flight back home. To be fair I missed my home, my family, my friends, but of course I had never came back for a reason...

My father was not happy when I first decided to move to New York. He would never understand; but of course me being a mommy's girl made Mama convince him, yet he has always wanted me to come back. To this day every time he calls he tries to get me to come back home.

Being away from home had made realize many things, growing up the way I did it was quite hard to grow close to people. All my life I was thought loyalty would only ever come from my family, of course when my father referred to family he was talking about the hundreds of soldiers he had at his command.

My father was always a man of few words, merciless and calculating my brother had always taken on him as his role model. After all Luka was the true heir of the title of Don in our family, my mother never admitted it but deep down she wished Luka would have grown up to be a simple man but of course that was just a wish.

I knew my Mom was proud I had left my home and was able to explore everything out there, I was truly happy; but my old life never left me, the body guard were always there even if couldn't spot them, the lies I had told the ones around me were still there. I had simply learned to live with it.

With all these thoughts I ended fast asleep looking out the window of the jet...

Back home, finally. I thought to myself while landing at my families state.

I could see Luka, Papa, Mama thru the thick glass. I felt my heart warm as I saw the people I held closest to my heart. I couldn't help but smile at the sight, the men wearing suits as always even in the near freezing weather and of course Mama dressed in a beautiful dress smiling. Perhaps I did miss home..

I couldn't help but smile at the thoughts that clouded my mind. So many memories I have lived in this home, some that I couldn't dare relive.

-

I hugged my family one by one, first Mama and then Papa and Ivan, I could feel they missed me and there was no denying I missed them too.

"You know I would've been in serious trouble for standing this close to the landing area a couple years back" I said my family laughed as we walked home.
