Six-year old Giavanna runs her hands over the files in her father's office, looking at all of the files with a curious gaze.

She was taking a nap because she had fell asleep on the couch where her father brought her to her room. Since everyone else was awake they decided to play outside in the pool today.

Now Giavanna was here picking up a certain file titled ANTON MARTINEZ.

Looking through the contents of the file, Giavanna sees many "Deals" and "Gun Trafficking" trades. Giavanna raises her eyebrows at the mention of guns in the file.

Placing the file back in its original place, she moves onto another file titled OCEANUS DOUKAS.

Once again looking at what the file holds, she sees a failed partner deal. Something that reads, "Stolen Shipments". Not really understanding or interested in this file she places it back in its previous place.

She moves to pick up a file labeled VLADIMIR MIKAIL.

Before she is able to open the file, the door to the office is pushed open and in walks her father- Elio De'russo.

And he does not look happy.

~~~ About thirty minutes before: ~~~

Six-year old Diovanna plays happily with her brothers in the pool.

Splashing Sebastian in the face she goes to swim away but he grabs her and throws her over his shoulder bringing her out of the water.

"Bubby! Put me down!" She shrieks.

"No can do, you splashed me!" Seb exclaims a wide smile resting on his face.

Diovanna heaves out a sigh, "Ares! You're not doing anything, come help me." She pauses. "Please." She adds still hitting Sebastian on the back in attempt to get him to set her down.

"Sorry Buttercup. You're on your own." He smiles at her lovingly.

"What no! Ple-" Her sentence was cut off when Sebastian tossed her into the deep end of the pool.

All of the boys laughed at her expense, enjoying the laughs and giggles they shared. That was until Diovanna made no signs of movement in the water.

The boys quickly grew concerned when it had been about 50 seconds and she had yet to come up to the surface.

"Diovanna!" Elijah exclaimed swimming over to where Seb had tossed her in.

However, Diovanna had got her payback when she jumped out the water scaring all of the boys.

Diovanna laughs filled everyone's ears as the boys all breathed heavily from the recent scare.

"You little rascal." Domenico laughed.

Their joy was cut short when their father's voice rang out.

"Diovanna De'russo." Elio said standing in the doorway to the house.

Diovanna's smile disappeared from her face instantly, "Yes father?" She replied respectfully in fear of what may happen if she didn't.

"Come here." He demanded, his tone harsh.

The boys all glanced at each other confused as to what Diovanna could have done. Diovanna was searching her brain for any explanation as to why he would be demanding her presence.

Diovanna got out the pool, grabbed a towel, and followed her father inside.

The boys took worried glances at each other not knowing what was about to happen.

Oh how they'd find out soon.

~~~ In the house with her father. ~~~

"Father?" Diovanna called out. He ignored her, just leading her to his office.

Diovanna's first thought was, not the office.

But it wasn't going to be the usual reason why she was in there no, this time it would be almost worse.

She walked into the office following her father already seeing her twin sitting on the couch.

She looks confusingly at her father.

Giavanna was never in his office.

"Do you know why you are here?" Her father's harsh tone met her ears.

Diovanna shook her head softly.

"Words! I do not understand nods!" He shouted slamming his fist on the desk.

Diovanna flinched at the sudden action, "No sir," she replied to his previous question. Elio De'russo breathed out a sigh.

"You told your sister to look through my work files to get information about what I do? You wanted your sister to do it so you wouldn't get caught?" He questions, a glare settled on his face.

Diovanna looks utterly confused at her father, "No i didn't, I don't care what yo-" He cuts her off.

"Now you have the nerve to lie to me Diovanna? I give you a roof over your head, I give you food, I provide you with clothes and essentials. Even after you killed your mother." He says walking closer to her.

"And you repay me by lying to me?" He questions towering over her.

"I promise I di-" His rough hand landed across her small cheek.

Diovanna's head whipped to the side at the unexpected impact.

"Your behavior and bland disrespect is intolerable anymore. Go pack your things." He says.

"You're going to boarding school."

~~~ When she is leaving. ~~~

Diovanna rolls her small pink suitcase through the corridor and to the front door.

Her brothers who were now sitting in the kitchen all furrow their eyebrows in confusion. Where was she going with the suitcase?

"Diovanna? Where you going?" Seb is the first one to ask what everyone is thinking.

"Father is sending me away." She mutters quietly, her gaze fixed on the floor.

The boys all share a puzzled look, "what? Why?" They all exclaim at the same time.

"Because your sister is intolerable, disrespectful, and dishonest." There fathers voice booms from the end of the hallway. "She is going to boarding school where she will be taught how to act properly." He explains further.

All of the boys mouths are open in shock, he wouldn't, would he?

"Father I don't th-" "This is not a discussible matter. Know your place boy." Their father cuts Sebastian off.

Elio turns his gaze to his youngest child, "Your driver is outside. I will accompany you to the airport but from there on you will be under the school's supervision. No contact."

And with that, they were out the door.

Oh what they didn't know.



Okay so I've never written any type of prologue and I just rewrote this so I hope y'all like it.

Enjoy my hoes! (Sorry, I don't have any hoes and I've always wanted to be able to say that)
