"Cortez," Marcos said glaring. "How nice of you to join us. He you weren't to busy with one of your..."

"Finish that sentence and I will put a bullet in your head," I growled pouring me a drink. "What do you want?"

"A deal," Marcos smirked. "Mio fratello per informazioni sulla vostra moglie(My brother for information on your wife.)"

"Tuo fratello è un traditore,(Your brother is a traitor)," I said calmly before grabbing his collar. "Cosa sai della Olivia?(What do you know about Olivia?)"

"L'accordo prima,(The deal first)," Marcos said.

"Io rilascerà solo il tuo fratello meno che non sia in un sacco per cadaveri,(I will never release your brother unless it is in a body bag.)" I growled, "Get out."

"You wanted to see me," Alecovich said entering my office hours later.

"I'm sending you on a trip to speak with our suppliers in Dubai," I said leaning back in my seat. "Marcos has been causing trouble trying to find his brother."

"Sure," Alec said before cursing. "Quello che il fratello inferno(What the hell brother.) Why do you have Olivia's personal files all over the place?"

"It's time she came home," I growled swallowing the rest of my drink. "Her childish games is coming to a stop."

"Fratello(Brother)" Alec warned. "Don't do something you'll regret later on. Anche la mamma e la sorella vuole a cena stasera(Also mom and sister want you over for dinner tonight), so you better show up or they'll hunt you down."

After he left I picked up the last know picture of Olivia, rubbing my thumb over her face, "Presto la mia regina, al più presto(Soon my queen, soon.)" I whispered.

"Il neonato, io sono contento ypu potrebbe rendere(Baby boy, I'm glad you could make it)" Mamma said when I walked into the music room. "What have you been up too?"

"Work madre(mother)," I sighed listening to Alessandra play her violin. "Alec detto che avevi qualcosa da dirmi(Alec said you had something to tell me)"

"It's Alessa's news to tell," mom smiled. "She wants to tell everyone at the same time so you'll have to wait until your padre e fratelli(father and brothers) get here."

Nodding I headed to the kitchen to pour me a drink and wait for dad, Alec and Alessandro.

"What is it that you wanted to tell us mia figlia(my daughter)," dad asked after we finished dinner.

"Well Saturday I'm accepting an award for my charity work at the children's home," Alessa smiled.

"Complimenti sorella, si meritano di essere riconosciuto per youe lavoro.(Congratulations sister, you deserve to be acknowledged for your work.)," Alec said. "Too bad I won't be here to see accept it."

"Va bene, mi è stato sorta di sperando che Antonio sarebbe andato con me,(That's okay, I was kind of hoping Antonio would go with me.)"

"Naturalmente sorella,(Of course sister)," I said and she squealed tackling me in a hug.

"Grazie, grazie, grazie,(Thank you, thank you, thank you)," Alessa said hugging me and I smiled hugging her back. "I'll pick you up an hour before we need to get there."

"Si fratello(Yes brother)," she giggled kissing my cheek.

"There are a lot of people here," Alessa said pulling at her necklace. "What if I mess up my speech or fall on the stairs?"

"You'll be fine sorella(sister)," I chuckled scanning the room. "Just be yourself."

"Right," Alessa smiled. "I'm going to find Mr. Preston. Try to stay out of trouble."

"Non posso promettertelo(No promises)," I muttered before walking over to the bar. I was scanning the room freezing when I saw a familiar girl in a red dress, when she turned around I choked on my drink before getting angry when she hugged a guy.
