A Mafia Pact

23

Maxim and Anastasiya parked outside the mansion and waited. They had been there for ten minutes waiting on Sora Ito's men. Sora Ito was the head of the Japanese mafia and a very close friend of the Monroe's and specifically Annalise. When Anastasiya had gotten the alert from Annalise's tracking device days ago she immediately sought out the Rossi's for help. 

Not even a few hours later they were attacked. Thankfully the Ivanov men she brought with her were a surprise to the intruders and they were able to apprehend them. They kept a few of them alive to piece together what was going on and what they discovered shocked them all.

Anastasiya was ready to go as soon as they got the full story, but cooler heads prevailed. Her father, Dmitri Ivanov, had a makeup artist connection use their skills to make it look like the Rossi family had been eliminated. The work was flawless. They even sat in the freezer for a bit to really sell the lifelessness. 

Next, they discovered all of the Portuguese, Brazilian and Mexican lower-level families that had teamed up with this Rogelio De La Vega willingly and took them out with the help of Ibrahim Onuba, head of the West African mafia, and Manuel Lopez, head of the Spanish mafia.

A few of the Portuguese and Mexican families were working with him simply because he had kidnapped a family member or was blackmailing them. They had offered their assistance in retrieving family members in exchange of them acting like nothing was off or happening behind the scenes should he reach out. The Rossi's could not be involved as they were presumed dead.

The Monroe's couldn't help out because Rogelio was still under the impression that they were being held hostage in their own mansion under his control. He had no idea that the day of the invasion Finn Müller, the head of the German mafia, was paying a visit to his dear friends with his own army itching and ready for war. They kept a few of Rogelio's men alive to sell the bit that the Monroe's were accounted for before locking them up in the Monroe basement.

Maxim pointed at a small light flashing above the mansion and they knew the Japanese men were present. Anastasiya watched as ninja after ninja moved flawlessly around the roof of the mansion. Soon they were disappearing into the home letting them know it was time for phase two. "Go." Maxim said into his phone. In seconds large men with even large guns emerged almost out of nowhere taking out Rogelio's men one by one. 

Dmitri Ivanov was very fond of Annalise. He considered her a daughter and when he discovered that she was in danger he offered his finest men to go and retrieve her. The Russians were a brawny bunch and Anastasiya couldn't help but watch as their men moved. She was so thankful in that moment for silencers or this would've been a different kind of party.

Annalise didn't have any tears left to cry. Rogelio had verbalized all of her fears about her relationship with Luciano. He told her all the ugly things she felt about herself and did so with a smile. He then took her every which way. They were out of the tub and her eyes couldn't help but look at the gun. 

He demanded he dry her off and she knew that was just another way for him to touch what he "owned." "Let's go off to bed," he smiled feeling satisfied with all that he had accomplished and done that day. As he moved to get the rope Annalise sprinted towards the sink and grabbed the gun. He chuckled lightly and stared back at her. "Give me the gun, Annalise." His voice was too calm.

She removed the safety and fired. Nothing. In seconds Rogelio was on her smacking and punching her. "You think I was stupid enough to bring a loaded gun anywhere near you!" He wailed on her, blow after blow. Annalise could taste the metal of her blood in her mouth from her busted lip. 

Her entire face hurt and she cowered into a ball to protect herself, but that didn't stop him from kicking and stomping. "I tried with you! I really did! But you're just an ungrateful bitch!" He pulled out a bullet from the drawer underneath the sink and loaded the gun. "Maybe I should just end you now!"
