Antonio's POV
I was in an important mafia meeting when I received a phone call.
Dammit.
Allessandro looked at me motioning to give him the phone
I gave him the phone and he excused himself.
After a while, he came back in with a panicked expression on his face
Allessandro never panicked like this so I figured it must be serious
"This meeting is over" I said coldly
"But..."
"Did I stutter. Leave. NOW!!" I yelled
They all left in a hurry
"Allessandro brother, what's wrong. Why are you panicking?" My cold expression turned into worry
"B... Bambina. They...They found our Bambina. S... Sienna died and they asked us to take her custody. They found her. Our Sorella." He was crying. He never cried apart from the day Sienna took our baby sister.
"Get Emilio. He'll go get her. Don't let the others know yet. I want it to be a surprise. Go now, my brother. Let's get our bambina back" I said calmly although on the inside, my heart was leaping with joy.
When Allessandro left, I was crying. Floods of tears falling from my eyes. I quickly wiped them. I am the Don of American and Italian Mafia. Nobody can see a ruthless Don cry for any reason.
After 15 minutes, Allessandro came back with Emilio who also had tears in his eyes. He stopped crying when our sister was taken away by Sienna.
"Is it true? Did they really find our Sorella. Our Principessa?" He asked and i nodded
"She is finally coming back. God, I missed her. How did Sienna die?" He asked
"Our spies in Russia informed me of what was going on. It was the Russians. The Russians had been tailing Sienna for a while now. Supposedly, Sienna had a boyfriend, Marco, who is also with the Russians. They knew about Emilia's existence from the very beginning." Allessandro explained
"But why kill Sienna?" Emilio asked
"They killed Sienna so that Emilia would go into Marco's custody. But we were quicker. We want you to go and bring back our Sorella before they pull on anything." Allessandro said
Emilio looked at Alessandro then towards me. He has a scared look on his face.
I nodded at him
"I'll leave right away but...but what if she doesn't want to come with me. What if she freaks out? How will she react?" Emilio was freaking out, but Allessandro held his shoulder to snap him out of the panic
"She will come with you. Don't worry." Allessandro said it with so much certainty that I started thinking: "I don't doubt him but how could he be so sure?"
"How are you so sure that she will come with me?" Emilio asked raising the question I had in mind.
"Let's just say it is a gut feeling but I'm positive she will come with you. If we go, she might freak out." Allessandro chuckled winking his eyes toward me.
I chuckled at his silly antics, and we hugged each other.
Our bambina was coming home. And this time, I would not let her leave again.
"I'll go now and get her" Emilio said as he left the room

Emilio's POV
I rushed to the car and to the airport
The journey that seemed to take eons was finally over. I went to the car outside the airport which was ready for me
We have gone to London countless times, but we never thought that she would be here...Right under our very noses
I sat in the car. My heart punching and beating rapidly against my chest
I was nervous. I was seeing my baby sister after 13 years.
I drove to the school and went to the principal's office.
"May I help you?" The man asked politely
"Yes, my sister Emilia De Luca... umm I meant Emilia Martin. I want to take her home." I explained politely trying to hide my frustration
"I didn't know she had brother." He said with evident shock on his face
"Well, you do now so please get her?" I said a little harshly
"Sir, I can't do that. For all I know, you could be a kidnapper... or...or a man wh..."
"You better watch your mouth when speaking to me. GET ME MY SISTER NOW!!!! Her mum is dead. She died in a car crash. So please get me my sister now or I will play plastic surgery on your face." I snapped at him
"Emilia Martin to the principal's office. I repeat Emilia Martin to the principal's office." He said through the speaker.
It had been quite a while since he had done that now adding to my nervousness
"Why is she not here yet?"
"I don't know."
"Well, call her again through that useless speaker of yours or you'll end up in coma."
"Sir, please mind your language or I shall call the authorities or the police."
"DO AS I SAY OR YOU WILL END UP DEAD. THE POLICE ARE UNDER MY COMMANDS. I AM EMILIO DE LUCA AND I SUGGEST YOU DO AS I SAY. GET ME MY SISTER NOW!!!" I snapped
"Emilia Martin to the principal's office NOW!!!" he spoke hurriedly over the speaker. That good for nothing principal
After a while, a beautiful, young, petit girl walked in. She was utterly beautiful. Her grey eyes glaring coldly at the man. She looks just like our padre.
"Take a seat Em" the principal asked politely sighing
"No! It's Emilia to you. Now why am I here. If it's for punching the stupid geography teacher, then that freakin pervert deserved it. Always getting on my nerves." she said coldly
She hasn't been with us long and she already mastered the family's Death stare. It takes nearly everything in my body to prevent hugging and squeezing the life out of her.
The principal explained everything to her. I could clearly see the tears in her eyes, but she didn't let them fall. She is my very strong and brave Sorella. A true De Luca.
We tried to convince her to come with me, but she refused to budge
But then she threatened me. My Bambina threatened me. I couldn't help but chuckle slightly. She looked like Antonio. That guy is a very scary man. She looked cute. Angry but cute.
She gave me a look of disbelief and I tried to get her budge.
She started hesitating but she agreed. Or so I thought...
I was surprised when she asked the principal for the car keys. I had no idea what she was doing.
The principal refused but I knocked slight sense into him and so he gave her the keys
"Sorella, what do you wish to do with the keys" I asked her slightly confused.
I started panicking when she ran away from the office with the keys. "Good luck finding me after this" she yelled
I realized what she was doing.
"Merda"
I chased after her
By the time I got to the parking lot, she was already in the car and started driving off
I chased after her in the car
" Merda! Maledizione! (Shit! Damn it!)"
She is a fifteen-year-old child, and she is driving a car. Poor girl must really be freaked out. She must really have no idea what she is doing
She could get hurt, injured. All dark thoughts came into my mind but i dispersed them
Realization came into my mind when I saw her heading towards the cliffs
My bambina is going to hurt herself. Slowly, she decreased her speed. I tried to catch up with her, but she kept dodging.
"My love, please go slow. You'll hurt yourself." I whispered to myself hoping she was alright.
I saw her stop the car and then she got off. Her headphones were plugged to her phone and in her ears. She is listening to music. She sat down on the rocks.
I stopped the car and slowly got out. I don't want to scare her. She must already be scared. I don't want her to fear me.
I was relieved she was okay, but anger crept over me. I don't want to scare her, but she is forcing my hand.
"Principessa"
"What do you want. Can't a girl have some privacy here." She snapped at me. What a hot head. I hid my smile.
"Bambina. What you did was very dangerous. You are a minor and shouldn't even know how to drive. You don't even have a driving license. What if the police arrested you." I scolded her
"One of my mother's friends is a police officer who knows me quite well and is often on duty. If I were to be arrested, he would ensure my release in less than five hours. Therefore, I am not concerned." she tried to explain to me. Sienna really did a good job raising her.
"Sorella, come with me now! No more questions. Get in the car. We'll talk later when you're calmer." I took hold of her from behind as she began to yell and struggle in my grasp.
"No! I don't want to go. I want my mum. Let me go. Put me down," she yelled, tears threatening to spill from her eyes, though she fought to hold them back.
I laid her down, and tears truly fell from her eyes.
It broke my heart to see her in such a state.
"Bambina, this is for your own good. You'll be okay, you just need to trust me, alright? Trust is the most difficult thing to give when you sense everything around you is shifting. Sorella, I recognize and understand your hesitation, but please, trust me, everything is going to be alright," I said, crouching down to comfort her emotionally.
I brushed away her tears and embraced her.
I had lost her once; I couldn't bear to lose her again.
Even if she desired to leave, I wouldn't allow it. It might seem severe, but it's the reality.
I extended my hand, inviting her to grasp it.
"Fine," she muttered under her breath.
"Thank you for trusting me," I said with a smile.
We got into the car.
