The Mafia's Flower ( #2 in the Mafia Series )

{ Reia's POV }

Ezra, Sabrina, Zach, Dom, Michael, Greta, and I all left the party after Ezra agreed to help.
Of course we said goodbye to Diane before we left because we're still polite people.

I also wanted to make sure Diane knew how grateful I was for her and the job she gave me. Because I don't know that I'll ever see her again.

<{🥀}>

After we left Diane's retirement party we went to Ezra's home, which is the American mafias mansion and home base.

Luckily being Ezra's father Alex is in Italy for a council meeting we won't be caught here —
all of their other men live in another house near here but not close enough to see us.

<{🥀}>

I told them all of them about Francesco's drug mystery, and everything I knew about my grandfather's murder. I even broke the news about Adrian having a son, but I couldn't find the mother's real name or the sons name anywhere.

After I told them everything they all agreed to help me, without me even having to ask them.

Zach is the greatest at tracking and technology so he started trying to track the mother of Adrian's son, realizing that was the easiest way for us to find the son and to see if he had anything to do with my grandfathers death.

Sabrina started using her skills to try and find out who sells the drug my grandfather Francesco was basically poisoned but technically drugged with.

<{🥀}>

After explaining everything to everyone I remembered that tonight is the night I was suppose to call Annika— so I quickly dial her number and go into Ezra's office while he quietly does paper work.

"Hello Reia?" Annika answers

"Yeah it's me." I say

"I can't talk long, it's getting worse here..."
Annika says quietly

"What do you mean?" I question

"Your father never leaves his room. Your uncle Marco doesn't hardly talk anymore, and your uncle Lorenzo hardly ever eats or socializes. Your mother is basically doing everything on the council by herself, but luckily your uncle Alex arrived today to help her. Cristian is completely stressed trying to handle both mafias, and make them better. Not even to mention the fact everyone is worried about you, and if you're okay. They are still trying to find you especially Cristian and your father but they haven't had any leads. I think your mother may be helping on that front." Annika explains

"Anna I'm okay, and I'm safe. That much I promise...but I need a favor from you." I reply

"Anything." Annika says

"Tell my mother in private that I need her to keep Alex there for as long as she can. I can't say why unfortunately, but just tell her to trust me. It's important." I tell her and Ezra raises his eyebrow at me

"Okay I'll tell her." Annika says

"Oh and Anna, I miss you and as soon as I get everything figured out I'll be home." I tell her
