" how long are you going to be here? " she asked.

" just for a few minutes " I said shrugging my shoulders.

" so who's nyla? " she asked.

" that's a story for another day " I said and sighed.

" but no the only reason i'm here is to ask you if you wanted to come with me, where's jazmine? " I asked standing up.

" she's actually with my mom in the kitchen " she said standing up and we started walking to the door.

As we walked down the hall I looked around at the paintings which reminded me of a art museum.

We walked down the stairs and it was silent for most of it.

" oh and don't tell anybody " I said as we reached the end of the stairs.

" I honestly didn't plan on it although that friend group that you sit with have been asking about you and your friends " she said.

" okay thank you, and when you see them again tell them I said hi " I said and she nodded.

We walked in a door way and ended up in their kitchen to see jazmine and her mom eating.

" Are you okay n- oh Janessa what are you doing here? " her mom asked.

" I wanted to come talk to Sarah about something " I said giving her my best fake smile.

" oh well are you hungry? " she asked about to stand up.

" No I'm fine thank you though " I said and she sat back down.

" I do need to speak to jazmine real quickly.. please " I said looking at jazmine and she got up and followed me out the kitchen.

" Is everything okay? " she asked.

" yes is everything okay with you? " i asked and she nodded her head.

" I was wondering if you wanted to come to Belgium with me " I whispered this time because paranoia is a huge thing.

" when? " she asked.

" in like two days.. you can bring Arianna and Joshua if you want " I said and I don't know why I suggested him.

" yeah sure but how long? " she asked.

" just for a few days " I said and she nodded.

" I'll have Sarah call you when I'll be on the way, don't tell ANYONE about this " I said seriously.

" BYE SARAH! BYE MS.RAINES! " I yelled and waved at jazmine before walking away.

< time skip to later >



Familia: FAMILY MEETING AT 6! BE HERE!

Joseph texted the group chat and it's 5:30.

He even managed to get Janessa's number so he added her in it hoping she'd come.

He is currently in his office trying to get his thoughts together.

< Katherine >

" it's been a long day at this point and the day isn't even over, all i want to do is lay down " she said as she walked into her best friend's house.

" so that's a no to the party? " her best friend asked coming into her view.

" it's a no " katherine said and her best friend groaned.

" Why? It'll be fine men and women there and it's not until 9! " her best friend said plopping up next to her.

" I'll think about it " Katherine said and her phone went off.

She looked and saw a text from Joseph and rolled her eyes before turning her phone back off.

" is it that bad? " her best friend asked and that was enough for Katherine to open the message.

Katherine: K.

" this shit better be worth it " Katherine said under her breath.

< Jamie >

" Alright practice is over! " the coach yelled which shocked them because it's not even 6 yet.

" NO ITS NOT A TRICK SO GO HOME! " he yelled and they quickly started getting up and leaving.

" don't gotta tell me twice " Jamie said walking to his bag with his helmet in his hand.

He put the helmet in the bag and made sure everything was there before pulling out his phone.

He saw the text and although he planned on chilling at a friends house he replied.

Jamie: Ok

" hey- i'll catch up with you guys later! " He yelled to his friends and they nodded walking away.

He grabbed his bag and started making his way out of the field.

< Nathan >

" you're going to have to talk at some point " Jeremy said as he walked into Nathan's room and Nathan was busy drawing.

When he was drawing he didn't like to be interrupted so of course this irritated him.

" you make it seem like i never talk because clearly I do " Nathan said in a annoyed tone and put his sketch book and pencil down.

" but you have to admit- this is childish " Jeremy said.

" maybe it is but who cares " Nathan said not feeling the need to argue.

" Nathan this isn't my fault, i didn't- " he started and Nathan let out a loud groan.

" look man just shut up and get out of my room! " Nathan said throwing the pencil at him and he caught it and threw it back on the bed.

" calm down but fine i'll leave " Jeremy said and both of their phones went off.

Jermey looked at the message and looked at Nathan who threw the phone on the bed.

" this'll explain it, just be there " Jeremy said coldly and left.

< Jeremy >

Yes I knew but they don't have to take their anger out on me.

I wasn't supposed to know and I was told not to tell- yes I listen to dad because that's how I was raised and being in the mafia you learn to keep a secret for so long.

I started walking to my room only to bump into Simon.

" hey did you- " I started and he cut me off.

" yes I got the text leave me alone " he said and went to his room.

You know I expect more from him seeing as he's the second in command.

Yes I know we can have emotions but for our family we are cold and some are little cowards at times.

I walked in my room and closed the door before going to my laptop.

I checked the time and saw it was 5:38. I have time.

< Simon >

I'm not even mad anymore at this point.

More like hurt but it's okay, what did I expect?

I may seem like I'm being too emotional right now but they'll live.

I plopped down on my bed and closed my eyes.

I have a busy life this week- for instance I have to go handle something for the mafia in Spain tomorrow alone.

Then I have a date with my girl friend at 7 that none of them know about.

I also have a lot of paper work to do, and i have a charity to attend to.

There's more but I'm not necessarily going to explain every single thing.

My phone went off again and I saw a text from another number in the group chat.

Unknown: How did you get my number?! & no thank you

It's not rocket science to know it's Janessa.



After I sent that text I went back to watching a movie with the girls.

Stephanie and Diana had left for some reason so it was just us three and it was something I needed.

We are currently watching princess and the frog and eating our McDonald's.

It's really just a vibe and a family meeting text from Joseph isn't going to fuck it up.

A text came through on my phone and I grew angry thinking it was them again but it wasn't- it was that same unknown number aka my brother.

Anthony: Why would you invite them four?

Me: Okay I understand why you'd be mad.. and because I needed someone to watch the kids and now that I say this out loud that's pretty stupid.

Anthony: You could've let the maids take care of that- they'll be yours in a few days anyway! You can even get a nanny.

Me: Well due to trauma i'm going to pass on that.

Anthony: I get it but really four people? Plus your two best friends and their family?!! What the hell?

Me: I tried to get them to stay!

Anthony: Well you didn't try hard enough! who are these two girls anyway?? I need their first and last name.

Me: Why..

Anthony: JUST GIVE IT TO ME!

Me: It's the all caps for me but sure. Diana Taylor and Stephanie Grace

Anthony: I'll get back to you in about ten minutes.

" mommy look! " Serenity said and i quickly turned my phone off and looked at her to see her pointing at the tv.

" I know- wow! " I said like it was the most interesting thing in the world because well- you have to do that with kids.

Was it a mistake inviting all these people..

< ANTHONY'S POV >

" she has kids?! " I heard excitedly from beside me.

" can you calm down please? " I asked in the most respectful way possible.

" Calm down? You want me to calm down when my Tochter kommt!! " she said. ( daughter is coming )

" I know you're excited because I am too but we have to approach this lightly " I said seriously and my guard that was beside my door came in.

" you called me sir? " he asked.

" yes get me everything you can on Stephanie grace and Diana Taylor.. " I said and he nodded before leaving.

" Grace.. that name sounds familiar " she said and I looked at her confused.

" how? " i asked.

" I was friends with this lady named Tina Grace for years! She had a daughter around the same time I did.. her name was Stephanie. " she said sitting down.

" well I guess we'll see when we get these results back " I said and it went quiet.

" hey I want to thank you for all that you've done for me even if I'm not dein richtiger Sohn " I said giving her a small smile.

" Du bist mein richtiger Sohn, egal was passiert, und ich möchte den Rest von ihnen sehen. " she said seriously. ( You're my real son no matter what and I want to see the rest of them )

" you can eventually but the fact is you're not even supposed to be here because the minute you're spotted- all hell will break loose " i said and she nodded in understanding.

" I gave you the benefit of the doubt and I don't want anything to happen to you " I said after a few seconds.

" Okay, aber ich habe zwei Enkelkinder! Jede einzelne Person, die an ihrer Entführung beteiligt war, stirbt und diejenigen, die ihr das Leben gegeben haben, das sie hatte " she said getting angry at the end. ( Okay, but I have two grandchildren! Every single person involved in her kidnapping dies and those who gave her the life she had )

" oh trust me- that definitely will be the case " I said coldly.
