Reunited

Chapter 10

Alessio's POV

Once we reached the house, Dante led us to our rooms while the rest headed to the hospital wing.

Alessia was unpacking while Dante and I sat on the bed playing chess, with Dante asking a few questions occasionally.

"So what exactly happened to our brother and his friend," Alessia asked.

I was curious about that too.

"They got into a fight at school", Dante spoke, hesitating. It was clear as day that he was lying.

"Ok", Lessie replied with a suspicious tone.

"So tell me, how did you guys become Valentina and Valentino?" Dante asked, changing the topic.

"Well, I loved and still love aircrafts. Making them, Flying them and everything else to do with them", Alessia informed, getting more and more excited. She always got like this when she talked about the so-called 'love of her life'.

"I shared the idea of making an aerospace company and airline under the name 'Valentina Airlines'. We are co-CEOs now, with Lessie doing the engineering part and me doing the business part".

"Then how did you become the CEO of Valentino hotels and restaurants?", Dante asked, turning towards me.

"Honestly, it first started with a close friend selling his bar to me, and then the rest is history", I said. I couldn't tell him that Louis 'compelled' me to open a hotel everywhere so that he could travel and stay there for free.

"So you guys became the most influential people on earth that easily? Wow, my siblings are talented", Dante spoke in amazement.

"I wouldn't say it was easy, but I agree; we are pretty amazing," Lessie said. Then we fell into a comfortable silence.

A ring broke the silence, startling all of us.

It was my phone.

I picked it up and answered the call.

"Boss, one of our men, caught a spy in one of our hotels in Spain."

"Was Alessia informed?", I asked

"No, boss"

"I'll tell her; we will come as soon as possible", I told him, ending the call.

I looked up to see Dante and Alessia looking inquisitive.

"Who was that?", Dante asked.

"Someone at work. We have to go to Spain for an emergency; We will come back in a few days", I informed him.

He looked like he wanted to protest but kept quite hearing my tone.

"When will you leave?" Dante asked, sighing.

"In an hour", Alessia informed him.

"Ok then, I'll go inform the family", Dante said, leaving the room.

"What happened?", Lessie asked after a few seconds.

"A spy", I told her.

We knew not to give out too much information in surroundings foreign to us.

She nodded and started packing all our weapons again.

I packed the essentials and informed our men to get the jet ready. Alessia would have preferred to pilot the plane herself, but it was too dangerous, especially now.

Just as Lessie finished packing, Renato burst in, followed by the rest of the family.

"You guys just got here! You can't leave so soon", Renato burst out, falling to his knees.

"It's just a few days; We will be back soon", I responded, chuckling at his antics.

"What exactly is it for? Dante wouldn't tell us why you're leaving", Romeo asked, suspicious.

"Just an emergency back in London", Alessia reassured.

"You guys still haven't explained how you came in a Valentina Airlines jet", Romeo pushed further.

"That will be explained when the twins come back. Stay safe and come back soon, both of you", Leonardo ended, looking at us softly, with a tinge of pride.

I'm incredibly sorry for the big break and the tiny chapter. My exams are done, and I will try often updating from now on.
