"You love her don't you?" Gabriela asked me. "I don't want to" I replied back not meeting her eye. "I didn't ask if you wanted to I asked if you do" she said firmly while staring into my fucking soul. "..." I didn't reply back, I knew damn well not saying anything would say more than words ever could. I could feel her studying me, slowly cutting through all the walls I had built to keep my secret. "You do" she said gentler this time, I looked at her this time and saw that her expression had softened. I nodded back to let her know she was right. "I do" This time I met her eyes. "Tell her before it's too late or she might never know" and with that I nodded one final time before leaving. -------- For everyone else November 16th 2012 meant nothing much. But for 10 kids including Rosabella this day would mark the beginning of hell for them. And for their families this will mark the day a hole ripped through them. 10 different kids, from 8 different families, mafias and emoires. Each hand picked. It's now the 23rd of January and Rosabella and the group are about to go on a mission for the Russians again. They never expected to be reunited with their families by the end of it. When families are complete again all should be well again, right? Right? A story In which: Rosabella Visconti learns the truth about herself and her family that she thought was dead. Her whole life was a lie. A lie that has been fed to her by her aunt and the Russian mafia, she thought her family didn't want her and that they were normal people who were now dead. Turns out that was just part of the lie.
