Song ~ In this Shirt - The irrepressibles



Apparently our grandfather fucking slapped my sister?! I want to beat the shit out of him but that is not the problem.

The problem is that my sister ran out of this house, tears streaming down her cheeks and her location is unknown.

We tried tracking her phone but a damn virus blocked it. Even I couldn't hack it.

And I'm the best.

I am worried sick about her. So I do the only thing I can think of. I make a call.

I press the call button and wait for him to answer. He answers on the first ring.

"Hey Luca, what's up?" He questions.

"Lucian, Diovanna-" he doesn't let me finish before he starts panicking.

"What happened? Where is she? I'm on my way!" He says frantically.

I hear his car door slam and the engine turn on before the screeching of tires.

A couple of minutes later he enters the house looking around frantically. The family gives a questioning look to me but I shrug it off.

When Lucian spots me he runs over. "What happened?" He questions. So I explain to him everything that I was told and how we can't find her.

"Did you track her phone?" He asks panic seeping into his voice.

"Yes, there is a virus blocking her location. Even I can't get past the virus" I tell him honestly not trying to mask up my emotions with him.

He nods pulling the laptop I had in front of me on to the counter in front of him since we are sitting on the bar stools in the kitchen.

He types frantically before cursing under his breath he signs to me, seeming to only want me to know this.

'She created this virus, I can't get into it either. This isn't a normal virus like the ones Blood Doves used, no this is new new.' He explains.

Blood Doves? Who the hell is that?

Where the hell are you Dio?



I don't know where I am, or how long I have been walking for. I do know is that I'm on an empty road with forests on both sides.

I have been walking for a while, music blasting in my ears, taking in the nature.

I know that sounds so cringe but we were never allowed outside unless it was for missions when at that school.

One of my favorite songs comes on, and I can't help but move my head to the beat.

Tears freely go down my cheeks and I make no move to stop them.

The lyrics hit closer to home when your the odd one out in your family. When you're alone, when you feel the loneliness, the anger, the sadness start to seep into your bones.

The never ending feeling of being alone, unlovable, damaged, broken, unrepairable.

But I can't stop crying, I cry for the little girl who was called a liar. I cry for the girl who lost eleven years with her family. I cry for the little girl who lost her innocence. I cry for the little girl who lost her childhood.

I cry for the damaged and broken girl I am today.

I dance around walking down the street to an unknown destination with the music blasting in my ears, unaware of the person watching me as I dance down the empty street.

Maybe I've gone a little crazy.



I just finished killing a traitorous bastard who was giving my information to the Russians.

Fucking cunt.

I have a meeting with a lower ranked cartel leader. I usually make deals with them as they can provide me with well built ammunition and weapons. They can also get me drugs when I need to sell them all for a good price too.

The only problem is it's hard to find lower ranked cartel leaders who won't try and cheat me for my money. Like giving me guns that are only good for a month or one use before I need to buy new ones. Just so they can get extra money from me. So I find people I can trust.

Who am I kidding I trust no one.

Upon leaving my warehouse, I start to remember which way in this forest I parked my car. Fuck.

I exit the warehouse while taking my jacket off as the warm air hits me, but when I see someone walking down the normally empty road the, I'm immediately on alert.

Grabbing a knife from under my suit jacket I make my way to where the figure was walking down the street, watching my steps to make sure I make no noise. Can never be too careful.

But the sight is not what I expected. A woman, dancing down the road, AirPods visible in her ears. But I know this woman, she looks so oddly familiar; so beautifully familiar.

Taking a better look at the woman, I notice it is the woman who cursed me out in sign language at the bar and threw her drink on me after killing my business partner.

As much as I hated her for killing my business partner, who might I add was giving me a damn good discount and quality weapons, she had this fire to her. Something that intrigued me. She was strong and there was no doubt about it.

Ew I sound like I like her.

But that same woman had tears streaming down her face at this exact moment, music playing in her ears and lighting moving her head while dancing down the road with her eyes closed.

And for some reason, seeing her cry caused a ping of pain in my chest.

It doesn't matter I'm just a compassionate person. I almost snort at my thoughts, I couldn't give two shits about anyone. I don't give two shits about this girl either.

I don't want to seem like a creep for watching her, but as annoying as she seems, she is absolutely gorgeous.

Making the move I approach her. Upon sensing my presence, she in a swift motion turns my way and points a gun at me.

Where the hell did she get that?

When she notices it's me, she slightly lowers her gun, not all the way though. Smart girl.

I know she is into some shady shit because she killed my potential business partner- plus the day at the club with Casandra when she was covered in blood. Dove, that's what Casandra called her.

Dove- aka one of the best assassins.

"You know you're on my property?" I ask now standing in the road with her.

She looks around before shrugging her shoulders. She then takes out her phone and starts typing. 'It's a road dick face, you don't own it' she typed showing it to me with a smug smirk on her face.

Does she think I don't know sign language?whatever I'm not correcting her.

I sigh, "Even though you're on my property, I'll let it slide because you look upset. Are you okay?" I ask with no emotion. I don't care, just trying to have a convo.

I don't care, I'm just being nice.

She nods her head quickly, looking around the area where we're at. Her eyes seem to find something as her gaze finally returns back to me. She begins typing on her phone as she sighs. 'I have to go home, you should go to' she types.

Why?

I give her a puzzled look as to why she is telling me to go home. She types again, 'Just go home, okay? Bye asshole.' it reads.

"Watch how you speak to me όμορφο κορίτσι, or should I say Dove?" I tell her, a warning in my tone. [pretty girl]

Yea I know she is the assassin Dove. I heard Casandra call her that at the club when she warned her that she had a target on her back.

The things I've heard about her are crazy, but I'm a little crazy too so who cares.

Now it's her turn to look at me puzzled after what I've just said. She doesn't know Greek?

She waves at me before walking off, back to the main road.

I head back to my car and head home like she suggested for some odd reason. But I'm only going home because I want to, not because she told me too.

But one thought remained in my head.

What are you up to όμορφο κορίτσι? Who are you really? [pretty girl]



He is so annoying.

Of course I just had to see the fucking Greek mafia don while walking down the street as I cry.

I look like a tornado came and hit me in the face.

What is he even doing owning land in Italy anyways? Isn't he the Greek don. As in he should be in Greece.

Whatever I don't care.

I told him he should go home because I noticed a sniper in the tree, who it was for, I have no idea.

It could have been his sniper for all I know but I wasn't taking the chance of getting shot. And as much as I despise Nikolaos, he isn't a Greek don trying to start a war with the Russians. He is allies with the Spanish and even wants to try and take down the Russians.

The other branch of the Greek mafia has no part in wanting to be enemies with anyone. They dispose a couple gangs but have never announced any other mafia's as their enemies.

They simply want to be neutral. But at some point that will change- especially since the underground king is an absolute dumbass, he has all the power and yet still has no clue how to use it.

Imbecile.

So even if I dislike Nikolaos, he deserves a little bit of my respect.

I apparently walked an hour and a half away from home while in my daze. I was so fucking vulnerable, if someone had tried to kill me they could have took me down easily.

My emotions have been all over the place since I got here.

What the hell is happening to me? Why do I feel like this? I'm supposed to feel nothing! I'm supposed to be numb. I need this to all fucking stop. The torment of my family, the mental battle, the physical battle.

I just want it to stop.

Is it too much to ask for some peace in this chaotic world?

But I won't let them win. If I crumble, and cry, and break, they win. The Russians, The Blood Doves, My father, My grandfather, they win.

I won't let them.

~/~/~

I finally make it back to my house. I of course am not in the mood to speak to my family right now so I make my way to the back where my room is. I wait for the guards to move a bit before jumping the gate and climbing the pipe to my balcony. I get into my room without any trouble.

The first thing I do is grab new clothes from my closet and head to the shower.

I smell like shit.

I wash my hair, body, and face. When I'm done I dry off and put my new clothes on.



Once I'm changed, I leave the bathroom only to find Luca and Lucian sitting on my bed with their laptops.

When they see me they both run and hug the shit out of me. "Don't do that again Diovanna!" Lucian scolds me lightly but I know he understands why I did what I did.

"I was so worried, I'm so sorry" Luca mumbles to me.

I pull back taking both boys hands and sitting them on the edge of my bed.

'I'm sorry, I just needed a breather, I'm fine I promise' I tell them honestly.

"I'm sorry, if I was in that room- maybe i could ha-" Luca starts to guilty ramble. I stop him by pulling him in my embrace.

It's not his fault.

I have noticed Luca is someone who often feels guilty for things he can't control or he isn't even a part of. If no one reassures him that it isn't his fault, he will continue to feel guilty.

Pulling back from the hug I sign. 'It's not your fault, it's our grandfather for having a grudge against me' I tell him, the truth dripping from every word.

He nods. 'Is everyone downstairs?' I question.

"Yea a lot of them are worried about you and Luna and Ruth want to play with you." Lucian tells me.

'Alright, I'll have to see them some time' I say honestly.

I get up and they follow suit. We three walk down the hall, Lucian to my left and Luca to my right. They look like my body guards.

When we enter the living room all heads snap to us. Some look relieved, others look like they couldn't care less, and some *clears throat* grandfather *clears throat* look like they want to murder me.

He has a couple bruises that are visible. Take that bitch.

"Where have you been?" Sebastian says from the seat beside me, his voice is firm but laced with concern.

Did that rhyme?

'Out for a walk' I tell him.

"We didn't see you come in through the front door" he states, but I know it was more of a 'how did you enter the house?' Type of statement.

'The back door' I lie with ease. He just hums in response.

Grandma and grandpa give me a smile as reassurance. Grandfather goes to speak but two little girls come running my way with huge smiles on their faces.

'Can we play now Dio!' Ruth signs happily using an old nickname.

'Sure' I tell her.

I smile at my family, well some of my family before making my way to the game room with Luna and Ruth.

A little while later, Atticus, Ciro, Emilio, Liam, Andrea, Matteo and Giavanna are all in here with us.

Atticus and Liam start playing Call of duty. Giavanna is on her phone. Ciro and Emilio are playing fooseball. Matteo and I are playing tea party with Luna and Ruth.

They put a purple wig on him while he drinks imaginary tea with his pinky out. I can't help but chuckle at the sight.

"I would like another spot of tea mate" Matteo says in an Australian accent. A horrible one might I add. When Matteo speaks I translate for the twins to understand.

'I think he just used an Australian accent not British' I sign to the twins. They giggle at that.

"Heyy y'all are talking about me!"Matteo shouts.

Just then Aunt Olivia walks into the room. "Matteo, please stop shouting, and it's time for dinner kiddos" she says, a smile playing on her face.

We nod and I get the twins before making them go wash their hands while I do the same. When we're all done washing our hands, we head to the huge dining room for family events.

Everyone is here except for me and the girls who just walked in. The twins go sit by their brother Liam and their mother. I take a seat next to Luca and Lucian as they joined us for dinner tonight with family.

When everyone is settled, Joanna and a couple other maids bring out food. I sign 'thank you' to Joanna and she signs back with a 'love you darling.'

We all start eating in a comfortable silence with the occasional small talk here and there. But of course, my grandfathers voice rings out.

"So Diovanna, how was the boarding school you were at? Learn anything?" He questions, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

'It was fine' I sign, Elijah translating for me.

"Thats good, we dearly missed you here but when someone is in need of discipline, what has to be done should be done." He states smugly.

I scoff and look over to Lucian who is already looking at me. 'Yea, such good discipline there' I tell them.

He then turns his damn focus to Lucian. "And how did you two meet?" He asks Lucian.

Lucian looks at me before answering. "We were at the boarding school together" he answers honestly.

"Ah, so you're a trouble maker too" my grandfather says. It's one thing to be rude to me but if he continues this shit i will come unglued.

I go to stand out of my seat but Antonio beats me to it.

"Actually, Lucian was very well behaved. I just wanted him to have a really good education, which the school was supposed to have" Antonio buts in from the seat next to Sebastian.

Yes! Go Antonio!

"Grandfather, stop" Sebastian says in a warning.

"Ah, I see. You're right Lucian seems like a good kid. I don't know how he became friends with the trouble maker" grandfather states.

"Honey stop, what are you doing?" Grandmother questions.

"I'm just getting to know my granddaughter better." He says innocently.

"Father" Lorenzo's voice comes out in a warning tone to his father.

"Okay, okay!" Grandfather says, finally backing off my ass.

Dinner continued and the bitch finally left me alone.

I laughed a little with the twins at dinner. Alessia, Amara, and Elena said we should definitely go shopping one day and we could bring Giavanna. I'm okay with or without her.

When dinner was over, everyone started heading to bed.

I told everyone goodnight and headed up to my room. I did my night routine before putting on my pajamas and hopping into bed.

For once as I begin to dowse off, I get an eerie feeling in my gut. Something is definitely going to happen.

If only I had trusted that feeling.
