ALESSANDRO'S POV

I stood there, shaking hands with Alyssa. It was great seeing her again. I looked around the room, searching for Amelia through thousands of people.

A couple days after the attack, I called Amelia urgently. As much as I could remember, I never said it was over.

Attacking the Russians was a wake up call, not for us but for them. A wake up call for them to wake up and get ready for whatever I'm planning, to whatever's about to end their lives.

It might seem as if it didn't take that much of a plan, but it sure did. It's just that my mind works faster than a normal human being, which gives me the benefit of killing faster than a normal human being. Something appreciated.

I remember about two days ago, Armando and I were playing a new video game he wanted to try when Venom walked in on us. She held groceries in both her hands as she kept getting closer. I paused the game, throwing the controller on the couch as I got up, making my way towards her. I rushed to her side, grabbing the bags from her left hand. She nodded at me with a soft smile before we both walked to the kitchen.

After I was done helping her, she left for her bedroom as usual and I went back to Armando who was watching us this whole time. I knew he would give a look or a word as in 'great job' and he did just that.

We shook it off by a laugh and went back to the game, ending with me winning yet again. He sighed in frustration, unable to accept his loss. "I say a rematch" I chuckled as I heard these words for the hundredth time "You've been saying that for the last hour Armando" I said, handing him the controller "But it's not fair, you keep winning. Is there something you suck at" I let out another chuckle before pushing myself up the couch "I don't really think so" I said with a slight smirk before continuing "Go to bed, I need you wide awake tomorrow morning" I told him as I made my way towards the stairs "Whatever you wish for capo" and just like that, the two of us went separately to sleep that night.

Next thing they knew was this meeting. I gathered them all after breakfast for an important discussion. I hesitated whether I should let Julia attend or not, but ended up letting her in. In the end, Dante grew to trust in her and I won't doubt him. If he trusts her then we all do.

And if she bertay, we're all dead. But let's not put the idea into our heads.

The attack was much more than success. It was full of pride, full of power. It felt pure, leaving my favorite part the last. Probably our favorite part.

After taking a lot and a lot of bullshit from the Russian, I had it. It just needed time to finally pull it together and there I am. An alliance, three mafias coming together to end one. All it needed was a little bit of planning with the mind of a leader and the skills of a tigress.

I sat on the last share, reserving everyone's attention along with Julia's excitement. We had a few talks from now and then. She thanked me a couple times for saving her sister which I for the seventh time said it was fine. She would always mention how Lia is happy to be here and how much she's enjoying this house. Sometimes I can't believe I actually let them step a foot in here. This house was supposed to be my safe place where no one knew about it, except for me and Venom.

But now, we all live here as a family house. I'm not bothered by it believe me however I kinda miss that little mysterious place I had for myself. Who am I kidding, I can make millions of mysterious houses if I wanted. No one knows about the balcony though, not even its existence. If someone takes a breath in that place, I will make sure it's their last.
