Kimberly nods and walks down the length of kitchen, running her fingers along the island in the middle. Her free hand strokes at her hard, little bump nestled under her dress. 571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7b6EqpYMj

Since moving to New York a few weeks ago, I haven't had a chance to really stay in touch with Kim too often since I was busy setting my new place up and starting my college courses. 571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEkYY9sfWs

When she had called last week to announce she was coming, I was over the freaking moon! Alessio had apparently planned a surprise visit behind my back and I couldn't be more grateful to have my bestfriend next to me again. 571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpochLfTXRo

They have been inseparable since I the night I was shot. Mom and dad discussed his past and made a promise to one another to move forward. The word 'Kuznetsov' has been deemed a dirty word in their household.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AnxxgclHN

Anna finally married that hunky blonde guy, Alonzo, in July. Their wedding was insane and I got to visit Italy for the first time since she moved. I figured she would go all out anyways though to top any other Romano party in history.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPPB1M3nVV

Giovanni and Beto are doing really good from what I've been told. Alessio appointed Giovanni second in command and Beto is the head of all shipment control. The boys had been super busy, especially Alessio.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN9AeVOVWB

Since moving to New York a month ago, I have seen him maybe twice so far which is a huge change for both of us. The day Alessio proposed to me in the hospital room, we've been joined at the hip. Every day we'd go explore the city, take571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiyoSxjtFT

We've kept the engagement a secret for now. I don't know exactly how my parents will feel about their 18-year old daughter being engaged to a mafia boss, but I'd rather save that for another day.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8jUYLvO6K

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy7ZhcBCOV
"Honestly, really good." I look around at my little place, everything mostly unpacked after a month of me dragging my feet. "I miss seeing everyone so much, but it has been really great here. School is a little much, but I'm doing good and the coffee shop I transferred to is an absolute blast."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UT2z5XIDW
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQh5aJDBqc
"Making me want to move to New York!" Kim laughs and moves to sit next to me. "So, how has everything been with Alessio? After...what happened, you guys seem to have been real attached to one another."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJae1ckIsPW

"Are you sure? You guys have so much time for weddings. He's filthy freaking rich, why don't you go travel during the summers and bang in other countries?" She laughs, shaking her head.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBugOJzU3Rt

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplDjsU24CY
She nods, a massive almost creepy grin contorting her pretty features. "Then don't even worry, bitch! He's a freaking god among mortals, marry that man."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArd96Kr9i7
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBHK5i8KrU
I laugh loudly and bump her shoulder," What would I do without you?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlQaVCiii6

Suddenly, there's a loud buzz coming from the coffee table across from the two of us. I reach over and pick it up.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJV1HWiFFp

New Message. 571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtYjMLTIsA
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Ik4arZ4K
I click it open and begin scanning the text that had come through from Alessio's phone. He must still be busy, he never texts me.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjMy898Ro1

"I have a surprise for you."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbviZv6iDfB

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTukqGgRqZb
"Duh! There's a pizza place I want you to try, plus some super cute clothing boutiques I know you'll die for." I tease and lead her out of my front door.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBtzo9MBJw
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vgjKNrHTi
" I do have my dad's credit card." She waggles her brows.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl0gWXLzcB

"Yeah, but I bought something for my parents too. I'm not that selfish!"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVeIKKgfQ5
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw4962raSR
I just roll my eyes at her and step out onto the side walk with her close behind. There are cars everywhere, but from what I can see...none look like his.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7c46OPuAs
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCIEO9YZck
And trust me, I can spot his car out immediately. Not to mention, the car he got me is now safely back home with him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECEMDjG5fk

"Let's check down there, I'll call him."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3amQbw71r
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ra3mA3wd
The two of us head down the sidewalk, slipping by the herd of people headed in the opposite direction. I pull my phone out and quickly dial his number.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeohNfVEL9Y
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr9M7Q8pOX
"What?" Kim asks and pulls me quickly against a wall near us so we aren't trampled. "He said outside in five, right?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JvfBTpWmk
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGnrnXoe9j
"Yeah, but he's not answering. Let me call Beto."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmBR4yMmq9
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrM41uhG2C
I put the phone up to my ear and listen to the shrill ringing as Beto's voice echoes a little too cheerfully from the other end.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GJs3zc5PG
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7DX11OOH9
"Ollliivvviiia! What's up? Long time no see, college chick."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4ntLGN9ie

"Uh...I haven't seen him, why?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh8dFIYTFD
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99UOhRL7zl

"Olivia, don't move." Beto demands.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl39iMtrAY

The urgency in his voice causes my body to turn cold. His tone hits me like a wave of sickness and I glance up at Kim's confused face.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQpmmuxMhL
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i54NwhiNO
"Everything okay?" She whispers.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvWxh75Y2l

I shrug just as a very familiar voice gets onto the phone.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWqUirfiRQ
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrVYzqxIaL
"Olivia? What's going on?" Alessio asks, sounding concerned.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPCDq4rVbE

I stare at Kim's face. "U-uh...are you not in New York?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGI6QcjUxz

"No, baby. I've been handling business all day. What's wrong?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCH8pnT8XT

Something is off. Way fucking off.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfmanSkCVD

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbtyIKOWj7
"Get inside your place. My phone is missing, I'll be there in half an hour. I have some men stationed in the city, they'll be alerted and on guard in no less than five." He says quickly. His voice serious, business-like. Absolutely no room for argument or sarcasm.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAUbfywR2T
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXw7TeyVLQ
I nod, mostly to myself. A massive lump forming in my throat as I start to pull the phone away from my ear a bit.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofUJe9XBAe
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ210lBdSWH
"Kim..." I whisper, staring at the picture of Alessio on my phone. The call still connected. "Alessio...says we need to go inside."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyo86QoyHU
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc1OPSTElB
"What?" She says confused, looking around. "I thought he was here."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWq4obAne6

I look up at her, my eyes wide. "Kim...we need to go inside."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeTagLB0pj
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3YZ0xBo21
She just looks at me blankly, but there's no time left.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE4smSvuqf

Something behind us explodes, sending a shock wave that rocks through the area as people around us scream in horror.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vrx4pcfO8

My body is thrown against the wall as I desperately grasp onto Kim.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0ld1vvf4Q
