Be Mine

the war begins....

Rebecca stood in front of her father's and Godfather's photo
a single tear rolled down her cheeks.

It had been 7 years since she lost all her loved ones......

"Becc."... a voice called from behind her.
Even without turning her head she could clearly sense her best friend and partner Albert stark standing behind her, with his hands in the pocket of his well-fitting tux.

She turned around and looked up at her friend standing there with the most chilled out mood, his dimples were full-on display as a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

At a height of 5 feet nine, he was far taller than Rebecca with her 5feet 6-inch height.
Dressed in the Ralph and Lauren navy blue suit hitting perfectly on his chiseled frame he was a lovely picture to look at. and girls went gaga over him.

"Rebecca peters crying....ooh! that's a rare sight," he said,
adding a dramatic effect to his voice

" I know what you are trying Albert", she sighed and walked back to the soft chair behind her desk and sat down and placing her legs on the table locking her hands behind her head.

Albert followed her, standing beside her, he leaned on the table
" oh what am I trying to do bestie?"
He singsonged smiling at her.

" You are just trying to get a rise out of me so that you can find out what I am up to".

She smirked and looked on to his face

Albert smiled realizing that his plans are not going to work with her.

He sighed, " yup you got me...,
I was attempting to make you speak about your next step and...as you can see it missed the mark,
Now will you please tell me what are you up to?" his mood changing from playfulness to becoming more pressing

And Becca knew, she was in trouble.

She stood up and slowly walked toward the big glass window facing the beautiful nightlife of the mighty New York.

She let out a long breath
"Jacob Fernando and his son are back "
She confessed

She heard Albert's breath catch, she turned around and faced him..... her back supported on the big glass window

"Yes, you heard me right", she said. She saw Albert's jaw harden and his fists clasping, she could see the fire building up in his eyes.
" Why are they back now?; nothing is left for him in this city"
his voice deep from anger.

Becca walked to him, placed a hand on his shoulder. glancing down at her his eyes loosening upon seeing her face

"Why are they back even after their empire wiped -out?" he said through his gritted teeth.
Fury and pain reflecting in his voice

After 4 years if they are back, this can't be good and he knew it.

" If I am guessing right, he has some big plans, Albert"

Becca rubbed her hands together in frustration,
turning around she pulled out a file from the desk drawer giving it to Albert.

He looked at her with an amazing look, took the file from her hands and opened it.

"Dawny Peterson ", He readout
"CEO and founder of Peterson corp".
What does it mean Becca ?. He asked looking up at her.
