Soo long right? It's been a week. I tell you all I am lazy. I can't help it. By the way, I have a question for you: Would you like a sad/happy ending? Tell me in the comments, and I will consider it.

TW: there is a scene of murder. It may be disturbing. I will put this 🌸 at the beginning and end.

Isabella's POV:

"wakeee up sissy" someone screeched. Who the hell was destroying my beauty sleep? " get lost or I will kill you," I said sleepily, pulling the covers over my head which my most pesky brother yanked down. I finally open my eyes to find a chortling Armando and a frowning Leonardo. Is this how my morning is going to begin? When did I offend you, god?

" I'm up," I said rubbing my sealed eyes sleepily. Thank god that I stopped having nightmares for some cause.

As soon as I chase my brothers out of the room I start my morning routine and get formally clothed as I was going out with my younger brothers to god knows where. After that, I will go and meet my men in the new base which I didn't get time to inspect and I also have to settle a problem.

I hurry downstairs and all the younger ones were eating food with Grandma in front of the oven baking bread. Oh well, I loved her food. She placed a plate in front of me which consisted of two eggs, a side of bacon, toast and fruits.

" juice or coffee Tesoro?" she asked as soon as I started eating.

" coffee grandma," I said after smiling at the nickname.

"I heard you all are going out today," she spoke after placing a cup of coffee in front of me.

" yes, grandma we all are going out today. you know we made plans to spend the day with Bella alone. She will certainly be busy for a week maybe even more." Giovanni said as soon as he swallowed his food and the others agreed with him.

"We are not going out together?" I asked confused.

"nope dear sister, it's my chance to spend the day with you," Romeo said smiling.

" my day is wasted then" I muttered causing him to frown." where are the others?" I asked no one in particular. The table seemed so empty.

"in meetings all of them even our aunts," Armando said scowling. Why was he upset about that?

"If you are ready let's go," said Romeo picking up the car's keys and getting up. I silently followed him after putting on socks and shoes.

"where are we heading to?" I asked as soon as he started the car.

" you will see little sister," he said smirking. And see I did, that my brother was officially mad.

"I will not die due to your rash driving" I declared grabbing onto the seat for dear life. He was not driving the car he was flying it. He just laughed and increased the speed. Crazy man. By the time we arrived, I was so nauseous and frustrated as he was not telling me where we were going.

"This is absurd can't you just tell me?" I was thrilled yet edgy at the same time. I had to go to the base after this."we have arrived come on in," he said pulling me out of the car and wrapping my eyes with his hands. I figured out that he was leading me to a ground as there was grass under my shoe and it was sunny.

"horses?" I asked surprised. One thing to know about me is that I loved animals and I loved horses greatly. I stepped forward to pat the white horse. it seemed quite robust and was busy dining. it dismissed me when I touched it.

"How did you like my surprise sister?" Romeo asked laughing at my love for the stallion. "I knew you would like it." he just shook his head in amusement at my happiness.

"Will you ride it?" He asked taking its reins in his hands. I just shake my head in denial." I don't want to ride it, by the way, what is its name? I hugged the horse, it was fucking adorable. "Oh well, I don't know," he said shrugging his shoulders. He was an utterly clueless person and I was suddenly very curious." Romeo, did you think of this" I voiced out my curiosity. It was impossible for someone as thoughtless as him to think of this." It was Grandpa's idea" he said cheekily. I knew it.

I just laughed and sat down on the grass and watched him riding the horse. I was certainly not riding a horse, if Sylvie was here she would have fainted out of shock. In her words, it would have been undignified.

After a few hours with him which included a discussion on cars and robots, we got up to have lunch. As soon as we were finished with lunch, I excused myself so that I could visit the base and meet my men. I told him that I was going to meet my school friend and would be back at dinnertime. It took me a lot of persuasions, threatening, pleading and an entire hour to make him agree. I also swore to bring my school friend home.

.

At the base:

It took me some time to find out where the base was. It was an hour's ride away from my home and was on the outskirts. From the outside, it just seemed like a very rich apartment but from the inside, it was just like a mafia base. I was sure that Oliver, Noah's elder brother did this.

I mean I know he was good at technology but this is just mind-blowing. The men were all minding their work and I utilised my badge to get inside so the security was not alerted. I made sure to wear my well-known mask when I entered as only a few selected members knew my face and real identity. Each of my men kneeled on one knee and crossed their hands over their chest and bowed their heads not daring to look at my face.

I silently ignore them and walk to my cabin where Noah, Oliver, Sylvie and Alex were waiting outside. The moment they saw me approaching, they bent their knees and bowed to me.

" get up" I order and place my finger to open the door. truly Oliver had outdone himself. As soon as I entered the room I went up to my desk which had been cleaned and the crucial files were present there. I remove the mask and signal Noah to shut the door which he did. The instant I sat down they also took a seat across me.

" where is sandy?" I trusted her more than my own shadow.

" boss she is in France only as people are required to supervise the day-to-day operation there and harmonise with your brother Louis and his mafia," Sylvia said professionally.

I just nod. After all, she was right." you said I have to check some legal records, tell me about it" I ordered Alex who managed all the legal businesses as I was only sixteen years old.

" boss there are some troubles with the money we are giving to the families of our spies." I was furious. I paid my men what they deserved. Their families were my duty and specifically spies. They put their lives at peril day-to-day just for the sake of mine. How did I not know? I was furious at myself.

"what do you mean?" I asked furiously.

" boss I checked the records the money we sent was stolen by the man who we used to deliver the money," Oliver says.

" it was $150,000 and it was stolen and that too he robbed it not once but many times and from the families of many spies." my jaw clenched in rage. That bastard. I was going to create an example out of him.

"pay the money to the families of our men and get me that bastard," I instructed. "now" I gritted out.

they all left the room except for Noah. He was the same age as me and after spending so much time with him in school for the past weeks we had become friends.no longer boss and junior but actual friends.

"Noah my brothers are coming to school to study, even though they are in different grades you will surely meet them and when you do recall that you don't know their real identity," I said ditching the professional and cold attitude. I had told them and Sandy about my real family's identity. Let us just say that they were not pleased with it.

"Sure boss" Really?

" haven't I told you there is no need to call me boss? Sandy doesn't and you are like her to me now."

" But ho.." His words were interrupted by the opening of a door and I immediately put on my mask which I had removed and scrutinised the man who was dragged here. He was sweating and seemed scared for his life.

"Boss he is the bastard who betrayed us and stole the money," Sylvie said and signalled Alex to let go of his collar.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

"So you are the man who betrayed me?" I asked calmly.

"B..B...Boss what are you doing" he stuttered in pure fear. He seemed scared out of his wits but his eyes were shining with guilt.

"come" I hauled him up and dragged him out of the office to the hall where all the men were assembled, probably because they saw him being pulled to my office.

" men he is the one who betrayed us and stole money from us and refused to pay the families of your comrades who are working as spies for us. Should we punish him?" He was not only my offender but my entire gang's.

" yes kill him boss" They all chorused in outrage.

I punched him hard in the face causing him to fall done on the floor. I kicked him repeatedly and mercilessly. I Grabbed the guy by his collar and lifted him and questioned him" Did you steal the money? who gave you the right to do so? They were for your comrade's family bastard.

I kicked him again and kept on punching him. By now he was grabbing my foot and beseeching me.

"P..P.Please b..boss I have a family and a child, please don't kill me"

"you should have thought about it before backstabbing us" Oliver ordered. He was the tech guy he rarely got angry but got enraged as long as it included disloyalty or his brother Noah.

I kept on punching him until he was bleeding and lay helplessly at my foot. Sylvie came and clutched me to stop me from beating him to death.

I pulled out my knife and stabbed him in his thigh with it. His screams were music to my ears. The best music I had heard in a while.

"you bastard I trusted you for so many years and you stole from under my nose and betrayed me. you will certainly be punished for this." I proclaimed pulling out my gun and shooting him in the chest three times. The blood pooled and dirtied my heels.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

"Let this be a lesson to everyone. the one who betrays me will wish for death and the one who serves me will be well treated. don't forget that not only am I the French princess but also the most cruel female assassin. If any of you think of betraying me I will slaughter you and your entire family. memorise my words" I swear and leave after looking towards my trusted members and instructing them to take care of the matters here. I get in a cab and direct the driver to go to my home.

-------------------------------------------

Daniel's POV:

there was stillness in the room as we all were checking the paperwork. abruptly the door was thrown open and Niccolo burst in, panic and fear evident on his face.

"What happened dear," Grandpa asked alarmed at his state and we all stand up. Something was wrong call it intuition but something was very wrong.

"Uncle.." he tugged at his tie trying to lose it and collapsed on the seat nearest to him. he was making our hearts jump out of our chests. We all approached him and Victor went and sat next to him trying to calm him down.

"What happened to Dad? I asked fear evident in my tone.

"Dan, uncle got shot in his hand," he said as soon as he calmed down. there was pin-drop silence in the room before I realised my dad got shot. I jumped up along with Victor ready to barge out of the room and torture the person who did it but we didn't need to. A man was flung at our foot the second we got up to leave causing everyone to take out their guns and aim them at the man.

"Son, you exaggerate it's just a small wound," Dad said appearing in the room with a smile. his sleeves were rolled up and his tie was missing. His left wrist was bandaged, doubtlessly that was where Dad got shot. even before Dad could speak again Mom embraced him a few tears dropping down causing all of us including Dad to scowl.

"Luna, I am fine don't worry" he tried to console Mum" Really you also Mom," he said sighing I just got shot am fine," he said emphasising the particular word.

all of us embraced him the second Mom and Grandma let go of him. I...I still need to breathe sons" he choked out seeming relieved when we parted from him. our cousins attacked him the next moment and they didn't even give him a chance to say anything before launching themselves at him.

Frowning I approach him and check if he was fine" son daniel I am alright This boy made it look too serious" he said glaring at Niccolo." this man attacked you uncle and that too from behind with a gun and you pushed me out of the garden and told me to come here. You scared me out of my wits." he said shaking his head. Dad was going to say something when the sound of a crash-filled our ears and we turned back to look at the man who seconds ago was on the floor, he was thrown a little bit far and he was bleeding profusely from his head. A furious uncle Lorenzo who had hauled him up and thrown him was about to shoot him when Dad interfered looking at Mom and Aunty.

"Son don't kill him yet" Grandpa requested even though I was hoping that uncle killed this bastard.

"But dad.."

" Not now son" Uncle silently lowered the gun and glanced at Dad. it seemed as though they were having a silent discussion through their eyes.

"Where are Bella and Edward?" Grandpa questioned. Oh! so this was the reason.

" downstairs. They are playing with each other. Mom is with them" Aunty Sofia said before hugging Dad. They both were like real siblings.

"take him to the cells, we will question him later?" I order emotionlessly.

I have to tell you all something regarding Bella" Victor says hesitantly. He and Leo exchanged gazes with each other.

"what about her?" Antonio asks anxiously.

" she knows combat bro" Maximo sighs " She defeated not one but twice" That's bad he is one of the best boxers I have met. "but how," I ask stunned. "She is trained there is no doubt" Gio states." but the question is why and who taught her?

"Maybe Louis?" Leo suggests causing us to frown.

"Louis, the French mafia don?" Dante asked surprised. No one saw this coming. what did we not know?

" Yeah, he and Bella are buddies. It seems as though Bella doesn't know about his genuine identity." Romeo explained." she called him brother" Maxim complained. he didn't seem too pleased about that. hell, no one seemed too joyful about that.

"explain Victor" Dad commanded strictly. he loved Victor the most out of all of us and today he was scolding Victor. Even though I shouldn't I can't help but be satisfied.

"Uncle, he came to meet her and then we three went to Piedmont together and they attended someone's funeral. But I don't believe them I saw Bella sneaking out but couldn't speak anything," he explained startling us.

"But Piedmont belongs to the gang that came for peace right?" Aunt Sofia asked. " They keep friendship with everyone except for the Russians," Antonio said defending Victor. I tell you he favoured Victor the most.

" What had to occur already occurred. What will we do now?" I ask. I was interested in what the elders would do now.

"act normal we will investigate it. don't be harsh with your sister I am sure she has her causes." Uncle advised us and Grandpa also agreed with his judgment.

"let's go down the twins are also there," Maximo said getting up.

" Just wait till mom notices your injured hand," Uncle said chuckling which resulted in our dad swearing at him while the rest of us including me were busy laughing.

no one knew what catastrophe was about to transpire shortly.
