The Mafia's Secret Daughter ( #1 in the Mafia Series )

{ Tori's POV }

After we finished our food.
Diego took me to their tv room where he helped me find Friends the tv show and we managed to find the english version.

We stayed there for two hours as I explained some of the show and talked about it. Even though Diego never said or asked a word.
It was just a normal afternoon. It felt nice.

I apparently fell asleep which brings us to right now where Diego is carrying me up the stairs to my room. I let him lay me on the bed then he shuts the curtains and leaves the room shutting the door but not before he says "buonanotte stella" which is Italian for goodnight star and that was all I heard before I drifted back to sleep.

Next thing I know I'm being shaken awake by a very concerned Elena and Angelina.

"Wake up sleeping beauty...we're under attack!" Angelina tells me trying to seem calm but failing miserably. It's then I hear gun shots and what sounds like grenades going off.

I sit up out of bed and I realize Elena and Angelina are freaking out.

"What do you know?" I ask cautiously

"We are being attacked by the Russians. We are a little out numbered considering half of our men are on jobs which seems stupid now considering they are looking for information about the Russians." Angelina explains

"I think their goal was for us to attack first after finding the right information but now that's out the window. The rest of our men are running trades, or in other countries handling other business matters. There's only about a sixty men outside of the immediate family that live in this mansion." Elena says

"Wow. The two of you really aren't as in the dark as they think. Is there anywhere you two can hide? Like a safe room?" I ask

"There's a safe room inside of the library across the hall. It will keep us safe, as long as we make it there alive." Elena answers

"Although we were told to take you with us, and were given orders to make sure you got and stayed inside of the room with us."
Angelina informs me

"Who told you to do such a stupid thing?"
I ask

"My son, my husband, and your father ."
Elena answers

"Come on." I tell them grabbing both of them by the arms, and lead them into the library I had found earlier. I hear gun shots but I remain focus and highly aware of my surroundings.

I see Elena hit a part underneath one of the shelves with her foot, and the shelf moves. I waste no time shoving both Elena and Angelina in there as I hear foot steps coming this way.

"Come on Tori." Angelina almost begs

"No. I'm going to keep us from being outnumbered." I reply seriously 

"But they said..." Angelina warns

"Screw them. I would rather go against their orders then let them die knowing I could've very well have saved them." I reply sternly
