Third person POV
A man's large figure comes to view, pacing around the balcony, landing down with his feet before the man has a chance to react his neck is snapped making his lifeless body fall to the ground. "I'm here" Alexander announces over the earpiece, "good, we right behind you" Marco says.

Tatiana POV
Pacing around the bathroom, growing more impatient and fearful by the minute, I jump at the sound of gunshots, fear takes over me as I cower in the corner, praying to myself nothing happens and this plan works out. The sound of the bedroom door being kicked open fills my ears, hearing a large thud blood rushing to my head. "Tatiana?" The familiar voice calls out, hoping my mind is not playing tricks with me, taking slow calculated steps towards the door, reluctantly opening.

Not being able to control my emotions I embrace the large figure in a tight hug in relief, freezing for a moment, to my surprise he places his hands around my tiny body, "Thank God" he whispers before placing a lingering kiss on my forehead. Releasing me, his hands touching my jaw wiping the tears even I didn't know were there, his eyes grow cold, "what did he do to you" he says, unable to speak due to my quivering lips, "come, we have to get you out of here" he says grabbing me by my hand. Leaving the bedroom more shots fired as Alex fired back, "be my lookout at the back" he says, nodding my head frantically as I do as I'm told, my eyes immediately widen, "the kids" I whisper, "Alex we have to go back" I plead, "there are kids" I say frantically, "we have no time I doubt my men would shoot them anyway" he spits, "I can't leave them" I cry, "which room?" He spits, "the one right next to mine on the right" I say. "Get down" he instructs before dragging me along with him, more shots being fired he quickly opened the door to the room, running over to the crib my eyes widen, feeling the clasp on my hair making me cry out. A sadistic chuckle fills the room, "well well Alessandro it has come to this huh?" Antonio says, the cold metal on my neck as Alexander had his pointed at Antonio, "I'm going to kill you" Alexander says matter of factly, "and you think I would allow that" Antonio says sadistically, "put the gun down Alessandro" Antonio commands, a smirk forming on Alexander's face, "not happening" he says making my eyes widen, pressing it harder on my neck making me cry out, "you know I should have had this whore the moment I could, but now it doesn't matter because you both going to die" he spits, "Now Alessandro PUT THE GU-" before he could finish his sentence blood splashed on my face as he fell down the ground groaning out, more shots rang as Alexander fired more. My mouth agape in utter shock.

Third person POV
"Alexander 60 seconds and it's exploding" Marco says making Alexander's eyes widen. Grabbing Tatiana by the hand leading her out the balcony, her eyes widen, "I ca-" "we don't have time" he says looking down the balcony, before she could protest he jumped off dragging her along with as they both fell into the pool. Before she could even register what's happening her nose filling up with water she was dragged to the car, immediately speeding off.
Still confused by the amount of bodies on the ground, the house blows into pieces before her, unable to utter a word.

Tatiana
Finally stopping by the familiar house I hate but at least tolerated, Alexander gently leads me to to the door, my eyes filled with tears. Opening the door, "Dio mio Amor" ( my god!) the woman I had grown so fond of places me in a tight motherly hug, making me wince I broke down in a hysteric sob. Not caring about who was around  I had remained strong for so long. Her smell and touch comforting, "oh my love I'm so glad you alive" she cries, releasing me to take a good look at me, "I thought I'd never see you again" she says with tears streaming down her face making me chuckle sadly, "come let's get you cleaned up" she says leading me to my old room.

Third Person POV
Sighing in relief as Tatiana was led away. Marco coming into view with blood dripping from his forehead, "we did it" he smiles, seeing the look of worry on Alexander's face as if reading his mind, "you just need to give her time, she's still uneasy" Marco sighs, "but you can get some sleep now" he says. Alexander turning to face him, "grazie Fratello" (thank you brother) he says sincerely, engulfing each other in a brotherly hug, "you were always there for me therefore I will always be there for you" Marco says making the two men smile, looking up at each other, "now go shower and sleep, you look like a zombie" he says to the man making a deep chuckle escape his lips.

~2hours later

It was now 1 in the morning. Alexander couldn't bring himself to sleep. Deciding to get out of bed. Making his way over to the room next to his.
Standing in front of the large wooden door, reluctantly placing his hand over the knob he opens the door.

Finding the small figure peacefully asleep he makes his way over to the chair next to the bed. Her lips slightly open, clearly in deep sleep. Tears forming in his eyes. "I don't know if you can hear me, a part of me hopes you can" he begins. "I think it's time to say everything I should have said when we first met, for a mafia second in command I can be quiet a coward if I must be honest" he says calmly releasing a light chuckle. "I'm Alessandro Giordano" he says. "The first time I met you, is the day I can never seem to forget" he smiles genuinely before recovering, "because it was my first time seeing such a beauty that even when bloodied and bruised you looked like a queen" he says sincerely, "I felt the need to protect you, it made my blood boil to see that someone had hurt you, I know it's not ideal coming from someone who hurt you" he rolls his eyes, "all those times I regretted every bit of it, seeing my handprint on your cheek made me so much angrier with myself because I didn't know how to show you how I felt without looking weak" he sighs,"see the thing Tatiana all my life I couldn't show weakness, I was never shown love and I know it's not an excuse but it's one of the reasons I can't show it" he says sincerely. "Losing you has made me realize just how much I valued this strong woman, how much I wanted and longed for you to have some sort of feelings for me, but now I promise one thing" he says before looking down, "I promise to treat you better and to heal you in every way I can, to cherish you better and to protect you like I should have, even from myself if I have to" getting up from his seat. Squatting down he places his lips on the top of her head before walking out.
