[Valentina's POV]
I don't have to pee...

Dammit!
I sigh frustratedly, pulling away from Xander to get up.
"What's wrong?", Xander asked, his hand leaving my hair.
"I have to pee", I frown.
"Okay go", Xander said, snuggling into his pillow.
For some reason I decided to climb over Xavier and Matteo's body to get off the bed. But even as I tried to I was assaulted by a kick on my arm.
A sound asleep Xavier mumbled something incoherent in his sleep, kicking my knee next, before turning sideways and dozing off.
Ass.
His kicking habits only make me feel sympathetic for mom because only god knows how she tolerated this idiot during pregnancy. Xander's punches and Xavier's kicks must've been worse than morning sickness.
After finishing my business I realised I felt thirsty.
Might as well.
Sighing, I exit my bedroom and walk down the hallway.
A few moments later, I hear some distant voices. Confused, I halted and tried to listen to make sure I wasn't mistaken. But no, I didn't imagine it. There were some voices travelling from the direction of the living room.
Who in God's name is awake at this hour?
My curious nature made me wanna investigate. But as they say, curiosity killed the cat.
Once I make it downstairs without raising any attention I eavesdrop on what sounded like an intense conversation between my brothers.
"They've gone too far this time. Russians know exactly what they're doing. Sending their messenger boy doesn't make it any less obvious whose hand is behind all these attacks. Be it Valentina or the boys."
I was taken aback by the venom in Antonio's words.
Russians? Russians who?
"Our men are still scouting for Jack. God it frustrates me that he's still hiding."
"We'll get Jack today or tomorrow, Ben. He's not a problem. Like Tony said, he's just a messenger. We have a bigger fish to fry. Stopping the man on the top will put an end to all our problems.
I frowned. Huh? Who's men are looking for Jack? What messenger? Bigger fish? What are they even talking about?
"Are you suggesting we declare a war?",
"They've already declared war Enzo. Coming after a Costello was declaring war."
What fucking war??
Suddenly I considered the possibility of me still sleeping. Maybe I'm dreaming. Glancing down at my hand I pinched myself like an idiot.
Son of a b-
Rubbing the area that ached my frown deepened.
"Well, you're the man in-charge here. You know Leo and I will back you on anything. This is not just the American mafia's problem. One word and Leo will bring reinforcements here."
