The lost mafia princess

Chapter 24

ELIAS' POV

I smiled in relief as I stumbled through the gates to my estate.

I probably stink as I'm covered in some mud and sweat.

I can see my family's guards eyes widen as they see me come through the gate.

I can tell that I look worse than I thought from their expressions as they come closer to help me.

I didn't care, though. I was just happy to be home.

I sighed in relief as someone took my belongings off of my aching shoulders.

My shoulders felt so light without the bag.

It felt heavenly!

It was that feeling that made me grit my teeth and demand my bag back.

It was the only thing connecting me to Alina.

I could not loose it.

I would not loose it.

I didn't care that my steps slowed or that I almost fell due to the weight of it.

I saw some guards running to my house, going to alert my family of my return.

I will definitely be getting a golf cart for our driveway in the future.

Why the fuck is it so long?

My legs are aching, and are threatening to give out any minute.

I did not take my chances with the opportunity given to me by Alina.

As soon as I had to travel anywhere on foot, I was running.

I wasn't on foot for most of my journey, as I was able to use cash to pay for train tickets as well as use a cap that Alina supplied to hide my face.

When you're in the mafia, you have a dangerous life.

The reason I took such caution running from the Italians was because I didn't know who they had alliances with. I didn't know if I was deemed important enough for the mafias they had alliances with to track me in their own countries once the Italians knew I was missing.

I know that the Italians truly had a reason to take me.

We didn't have an alliance with each other, so they couldn't take my word on what I said.

It is a common thing, for mafia families to meet after an incident like this happens just so both parties understand the situation that has happened.

It helps stop mafia wars from attacks caused by blind rage and such.

I'll tell my dad to send them a little message saying he knows about what's happened.

I would not be attending that meeting.

As much as I would like to see Alina again I will not risk her being connected to my escape.

And I do not want to take the risk of slipping up whilst there, so I'll take myself out of the equation.

I see her as the sister I never had.

In the Italians defence I was caught in a sketchy place and saw an important incident.

I was originally there to visit my friend for a couple of days.

Sadly, I did see what happened that night.

It was a pure coincidence. I truly was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The Russians hijacked a shipment that I now know belonged to the Italians
