Luckily after my uneventful breakdown, my family let me drive alone with guards. Which I had intentionally lost on purpose and then the secret tracker. Brooklyn hacked and made it look like I was in the city. I can't have them finding out I'm twenty minutes away from the mansion. What's bothering me is how big is the Monti property? There is a forest on the property with the main house in the middle. The other two houses seem to be near the front, and the warehouse is in the back. What else is on that property? I will find out soon, but I need to get my head in the game.

Now I press the brake stopping my Back SliverCross Ranger NR45 right before the metal gate. The guard takes one glance at me and bows down for a second before opening the gate. Respect and fear are core elements of controlling a mafia.

Getting out of my car and walking through the front doors. "Who is here?" I commanded Caleb in a deeply pissed-off tone as we started walking into the meeting room.

"Nakagome, Stefan and Mark are onlin-e... But Destiny and Asher are nowhere to be seen." Caleb informed, clicking different buttons on his G-Pad. Destiny and Asher must have made up with each other.

"Find them!" I ordered, demanding they be present at the meeting.

Coming in with my big entrance, banging the wooden door open. Everyone stood up and bowed as I walked down to my chair. Now I sit down, giving everyone the nod to sit. Looking around the room, I see all thirteen chairs are filled, but for four.

We all sit in silence, waiting for the last two people who aren't here. D-i-n-g, the laptop Brooklyn manages for the people online, went off. "Um, Donna. They are just wondering, why is there silence?" Brooklyn speaks up, interpreting the message from the laptop.

"We are waiting for Asher and Destiny." I addressed everyone in a pissed-off tone to the online people since they could only hear us.

Trying to be patient, I start tapping the table with my finger. Finally, the door opens, and everyone looks at the two people who delayed the meeting. Both Asher and Destiny sat down, not speaking a word. "Now that everyone is finally here, we can start," I said to them in a threatening tone that made everyone shiver in their seats.

Once I gave Zachary my head nod. He told everyone about the warehouse between Bergamo and Milan. Then he also informed them about the one casualty, nine critical, and thirty-one injured. There were some faces, but they quickly masked them up. We all don't like our comrades dying; nevertheless, that's the life we chose.

"What's the damage to the warehouse?" Stefan speaks up first.

"The whole warehouse is toast now," Mark answered the question from his evaluation of the damage. Earlier, I had Mark and Roger drive out to the warehouse to manage things.

"Roger, what's the status of the armory?" I asked, leaning back in my chair.

"We were cleaned out except for the batch of GLOCK 17." Roger clearly responds back through his phone.

"Why would they leave all the GLOCK 17?" Nakagome blurts out from three chairs down from my left, not watching his mouth.

"It's a very common gun," Asher comments back to Nakagome.

"It's also not the latest model." Monica joins the conversation with her knowledge of weapons.

Seriously almost every time, Asher distracts us from the meeting topic. "We Are In A Meeting Here!" I shout out, abruptly standing up from my chair.

"Sorry, Donna." Everyone who spoke in the distraction apologized.

Now the next step is to appoint Roger, Yoshioka, Zachary, or Clover in charge of the incident. Zachary and Clover are busy moving headquarters to Italy. Roger is busy with the gun deal. But Yoshioka isn't doing anything significant right now. "Yoshioka, you're in charge of this incident." I declared to the room.

"Yes, Donna!" Yoshioka says back, accepting my task.

After finishing the meeting, I went directly to my office. How can my family be so annoying? And I remember telling them I would be busy working. Family can be annoying, but it's worth all the love and joy.

Since I am gonna relive my identity to my family someday. It would be a good idea to build a business relationship. If I remember correctly, dad sent a proposal to BlackGuard just recently. Now I just need the proposal from Caleb. "Caleb!" I shout through the door to my assistant.

"Yes, Donna?" Caleb answered as he came into my office holding his G-Pad.

"I need you to send me the new proposal from Monti Networks," I said. Getting up from my desk heading over to my bookcase to put some files away.

"Right away, Donna," Caleb responded back. Then taking a seat on my couch to find the proposal for me.

Reading the documents, the proposal between BlackGuard and Monti Networks is a good deal. BlackGuard supplies Monti Networks with new tech. While in return, we get twenty percent of the profits and access to the Monti security database. I wonder if they would accept a partnership from both the legal and illegal sides?

Now, if I was gonna set a meeting, it would be online since I can still hide my identity that way. It would be easier than meeting in person, which risks them finding out. "Caleb, I need you to message Lorenzo Monti to schedule an online meeting," I ordered him in a friendly and calm way.

"As who, Donna?" Caleb questioned me. Looking up from his sliver G-Pad.

"Madam S." I bluntly stated. Getting up from my desk and putting some files in my briefcase. "And inform Zachary that I'm going back to the Monti Mansion," I reported my actions.

"Yes, Donna," Caleb responded back from my order as I grabbed my black overcoat jacket from behind my chair.

Now walking through the front door of the mansion. Looking around, I found dad and Dominic standing in the middle of the living room, speaking in Italian, pissed off. The twins were just sitting on the gray couch, watching what was happening in the room nervously. Elio and Ricco are trying to calm Alonso down from his rage. Who is currently wanting to punch something? I don't blame them, but I'm not ready to share.

"She's Back!" Mateo shoots up from the couch.

"Why are you guys panicking? I was only gone for three hours." I shrugged my shoulders like three hours was nothing.

"Elma! Why Did You Ditch The Guards?" Dad harshly said to me. Checking me out for any injuries.

"I can protect myself, you know." I roll my eyes, standing my ground and showing no fear against Dad.

"You Could Have Gotten Hurt Or Kidnap Again!" Alonso bursts his bubble and gets a shoulder tap from Ricco to calm down.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you guys," I uttered quietly, taking off my jacket and revealing my professional black pants and navy blue blouse.

"Come here, Neonata!" Dad says in a soft tone and opens his arms for a hug. What's with the hug? There has to be a reason for it. Furthermore, I doubt that he would hug me when mad.

"Elma, can you please tell us where you went?" Ricco had the same worried face as everyone else.

"I was visiting a friend, and she didn't want the guards around," I lied to them, sitting down on the gray couch relaxing.

There was silence for a moment while my brothers and dad exchanged looks with each other. "Elma, can you tell us the truth?" Ricco states bluntly.

"We know you're lying," Mateo interjects.

Now losing control of my emotions, my eyes go wide. "You responded quickly like you're lying and your outfit. It's business, not causal." Alonso explains to me how they found out.

Crap! I should have changed back at base. "Please tell us, Sorella. (Sister.)" Elio begs me, interrupting my thoughts.

"I-I can't tell you." I shuddered for a second before regaining my confidence.

"Elma, please tell us. We can help!" Elio begs me a second time as my other brother keeps gesturing to tell.

"You Can't! It's impossible for you guys to get me out of my mess." I shout at first, then bring down my voice. Once you join a mafia and take the oath, you can't leave. All mafias do that to ensure information does not escape.

"Neonata, are you doubting our ability?" Dad questions, trying to intimidate me, which he hasn't, but to my brothers, yes.

Now I let out a sigh before saying, "I'm not, Dad. It's just way above your heads." My voice expresses profound concern for the safety of my family. Once the underworld discovers that The Sicilian Mafia is my family, they are in deep trouble. People will come after my loved ones just because I rule the mafia world as the queen.

"Why do you think that?" Romeo steps into the family conversation.

"I can't tell you," I whispered, barely hearable to the people around me.

"Elma, I will let it go today, but you're gonna have to tell us soon." Dad gives me a stern look, with all my brothers still having their concern

"Yeah, fine." I roll my eyes at them. Seriously do they really think that they can make me talk? I have scars from being tortured, and they never got me to speak.

"Can we do something as a family?" Romeo pleads with the family wanting to have bonding time.

"What about a bike ride?" Elio suggests a family activity.

"But I don't have a bike?" I whined out, pointing out the fact that I don't own a bike.

"Yes, you do." Elio starts getting hipped up for some family fun time.

Now needing clarification because I never bought a bike in the first place. Ricco tells me, "We got you a bike."

"Oh, and don't forget about the box of accessories," Mateo adds to Ricco's statement. Man, I wish we could live like this forever without all secrets floating around.
