Lila's POV:
We walked to the garden, Olly clutching the football and smirking. We split the teams: Axel, Drake and me against Xander, Olly and Vito. Alessandro would be the referee.

Internally laughing, I took my position on the field. When I said I played 'a little', I actually played once a week with Sol, Reece and Will. It was fun but I haven't played in six months.

The whistle blew and Axel did a small pass to me, probably thinking I was an amateur. I rolled my eyes and expertly dribbled the ball, weaving it around the others before passing it to Drake who scored a goal.

Olly panted, "I may have underestimated your abilities."

We went on like this and, soon, the normal rules of football were forgotten and we just tackled and passed, the boys occasionally pulling me away from the ball- which I'm sure is not allowed. I felt like I was bonding with them. We were having so much fun.

Naturally, that's when it all went wrong.

Some masked people stormed the house, brandishing guns and threatening everyone. I sighed and looked to the heavens. Not again.

"Lila! Get inside the house and stay hidden until one of us comes to get to you," Alessandro instructed sternly, pushing me towards the house.

I scoffed slightly and went around him, pulling my gun out at the same time. I could tell my brothers were shocked, but I ignored them and focused on the leader.

"Hullo Oscar," I said in a bored tone, playing with my gun, "what do you want this time?"

The pale faced boy chuckled darkly, "I want you to join me, Lila."

My brother's instantly pulled out their guns and pointed it at the boy.

I laughed, "and I want to be queen of the universe but we don't always get what we want," I glared at him, "now scram."

To my amazement, Oscar started laughing. Wow, he must really have a death wish, "Oh my sweet, naive Lila," he chuckled, "I have a new sponsor now; his name's Mr. X. I'm sure you two have met."

My jaw tightened at the nickname. I raised my gun and cocked it at him, "where is he?"

Oscar smirked, "why do you want to know?"

"I want to send him a present," I snarled, "preferably a box of explosives."

"In that case, I won't tell you," Oscar smiled, "now, tell your lackeys to put down their guns or I will not hesitate to shoot them."

"Lackeys?!" Xander spluttered indignantly, "we're her brothers!"

A young girl with brown hair nervously went to Oscar. She tapped his shoulder and said, "Sir, we're in the Vincenti household."

I was seething at the 'sir'. Respect should be earned; however, I felt a sick satisfaction at the fearful expression on Oscar's face when he heard 'Vincenti'.

"You're the-the Vincentis?" Oscar gulped.

Alessandro nodded, "and we don't like you threatening our sister," and he shot Oscar in the stomach.

I walked over to him and lifted him up by his collar; some of his people came forward to help him but I stopped them with a glare, "this is for Isabella," and then I punched him. Hard. I felt the satisfying crunch of bones and then nothing.

"Take this back to your boss," I said to the lackeys, "tell him Lila said hi." They didn't need to be told twice. They picked up the dead body and ran as fast as they could.

"So," I said, turning around to gave my brothers, "I think I need to explain a few things."

They all gave me a 'ya think?' Look back. Sighing, I gestured for us to sit in a circle and took a deep breath, getting reading to say almost everything.

Mystery Person's POV:

I sat at my desk, feeling all smug and superior. My son stood at my right, gazing at a photo of my late wife- his mother. I mentally scoffed. He was weak. However, he was my only heir so I needed to toughen him up.

One of my men walked into the room, "Sirs? Um, there's something you should know. Oscar was killed."

A minuscule part of me felt some remorse, Oscar was a good soldier, "Who killed him?"

"Some girl named Lila," my son perked up at her name, "she had black hair, blue eyes and is the long lost sister of the Vincentis."

I could practically feel the excitement radiating off my son. I smirked, knowing the next words I say will crush him.

Just as I predicted, his face fell and he looked at me, shocked and betrayed. I didn't care. I did what I had to do for the business.

Lila's POV:

"I'm in a gang," I said, seeing no reason to beat about the bush, "the leader of one, in fact. The Vipers. Have been since I was 10."

My brothers jaws dropped and their eyes went to about the size of dinner plates.

"So, let's go inside. I'm hungry," I stated, getting up and going towards the house.

I heard a few mumbles of 'sure' and frantic whispering but I didn't turn around. The interaction with Oscar gave me things to think about. One thing was for sure, I had to call Bella and tell her about what happened.

I was not looking forward to that conversation.

End of chapter 15
