☆4 August 2024☆

📍Rome, Italy



Sunlights peeped in my room as I woke up from a dreamless sleep, I went and showered dressing up in a soft pink oversized cardigan with a white tank top underneath. My cardigan had long sleeves with a loose fit. My bottoms being a white wide-leg pants with an elastic waistband. I went downstairs in the silent house as I understood no one had came back, but than I saw something that surprised me. I gasped surprised,"THE ILARIO DANTE ROMANO in the 'kitchen' Holy sh-love of God" I light patted my cheeks mumbling to myself, "Okay it's okay Ilaria either you're still asleep or it's an imposter but...why would God make the mistake of making the same idiot two times"

'Exactly he can bring back dinosaurs but not make an imposter of your biggest idiot of a brother', my subconscious mind intervened as always.

'You're right for the first time, wait maybee..he's drunk' I replied back.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by his voice as he was looking at me like I'm an alien when he's one himself "Done daydreaming?"

"No I still have a lot to daydream so you can wait here, I will tell you after I'm done" I said sitting on my chair on the dining table.

"I'm older than you talk to me with respect not sarcasm", he smacked my head lightly giving me my cereal.

"Alright sorry grandpa Rio. Anyways Where's my pancake?" I asked scrunching my nose at cereal.

"You know nobody's home and I can't make anything except instant noodles and we can't risk your food again with chefs since you had that allergy attack. So please eat it for today." Ilario said nuh uh 'requested' and since I'm the best sister I agreed sighing at the cereals.

After our breakfast we sat in the living room to pass our day we were watching Black Panther, 'his choice' as I was more immersed in my snacks, my love; food.



The room was a blur of activity as everyone was busy finding out about the person who called. They had clearly said their target being Ilaria and 'her'. We had doubled Ilaria's security making sure someone will constantly be with her...but her...we didn't even knew where she was, not even...if was alive or not. My baby sister, my life, Alessandra. My cute piccola I still remember how she used to bounce up and down in excitement on her tiny feet waiting for me to come from school and than rush into my arms. She and Ilaira are our world. While Ilaria was a cheerful yet quiet child, Alessandra was the opposite being chaotic and the life of our mansion. But despite the personalities both the twins were each other's life no one could mess with the other one without facing the consequences. We were such a happy family but one incident changed everything shattering our family, our world, our life.

No one shows it, but we all miss her. Ilaria tries hard to be her self but she isn't, no one is. Mom and dad who once used to be at home early just to spend time with their kids now stay out for weeks in name of business trips when we all know they are searching for her. Ilario and the triplets are the one there for Ilaria but she's not there, infact neither are they exactly. Ilario spends his time either with Ilaria or doing his bike races as he used to ride around his play bike all over the mansion with Alessandra safely tucked in, similar to Leandeo who participates in car racing, our little angel loved these stuffs whenever these two used to have her in their vehicles her giggles would echo in the mansion that are now long forgotten having reduced to just a longing ache in our heart. Lorenzo often spends his time visiting and capturing the place that used to be his secret peace spots with Alessandra, while Leonardo the closest to her after me and Gio clutches her favorite teddy that he gifted to her to his heart sleeping unknown yet known to everyone. Frederico still take care of her favorite horses like babies...he has even preserved the cute little bandaids she used on him in her childhood while playing doctor games. Gio and I are practically the same, we have a collection of her memories each in our room unknown to everyone. Our heart yearns for her behind this facade.

"Ales" "Ales" I was snapped out of my thoughts by dad's voice as he started discussing about the call.

"We got no information or whereabouts neither about that bastard nor about my princess", Dad said with a longing look on his face.

Gio, the underboss and the most dangerous man of our mafia intervened in his deep cold voice while cleaning his daggers "We might not know about her whereabouts but that bastard's time has came to visit hell."

"But Gio we don't even know where he's, who he's, from where did he called." Mom said while closing another file without an information.

"We don't but people do, he's not some invisible power or something there must be people he's in contact with either extremely powerful or some hideous low life scums we just need to open few mouths and throats for it" stated Gio calmly standing up with a dark glint in his eyes.

"Hah it's been so long I haven't seen a blood bath I will take the south, some of my favorites reside there" said Leonardo standing up from the couch with mock excitement and evil smirk on his face.

"Alright, Lorenzo you continue looking for information of that bastard and also hers too I know we have been trying since years but...you never know." Commanded dad, "Leandeo you make sure the security is undestroyable for everyone specifically Ilaria and than give Ilario all the updates making sure Ilaria doesn't get a hint." He turned to mom, "Love you attend all the business meetings that are due tomorrow and upcoming days prepone them as much as you can to see if anyone from their is suspicious, Leandeo you will join her after handling the security. Also call Frederico to leave for his hospital and be ready to tend any of our injured men that will arrive there."

And With that I, dad, Gio, Leonardo all of us went roaring off the engines of our cars driving into different directions of the city for a certain blood bath and maybe bit of interrogation with our men trailing behind.

☆5 August 2024☆

📍 Rome, Italy



Alessandra felt a strange mix of emotions as she stepped off the plane in Italy. On one hand, she felt a sense of nostalgia for the place she once called home. But again it was replaced with hatred and slight dread as this being the place where she had been betrayed and hurt beyond heal, where she had been broken yet transformed, where she learned that no one can't be trusted in this world related or not. This was the city that cradled her toddler self in its arms but also made her what she was today. She had left this place as a 4 year old child clutching her shattered heart with broken hopes and now she stepped here with a heart of stone and a strong and powerful mind, a force to be reckoned with whoever dared to mess with her.

She reached her hotel and quickly freshened up seemingly aware of the less amount of time she had to execute this mission and leave this hell of a place. She dressed herself up in a cropped blazer having square neckline featuring a small Chanel logo on the lapel with cuffed sleeves of contrasting white fabric. Pairing it up with a short black high waist skirt with a pair of black over-the-knee boots and a black purse at last accessorizing herself by wearing a thin gold chain belt around her waist. Giving her a stylish yet edgy ensemble perfect for anyone to assume her as a 'normal' businesswoman.



I stepped out of the sleek black car wearing a black mask hiding my face from the world as the cool breeze of Rome hit me caressing my skin almost lovingly, I made my way inside the luxurious building. Everyone either bowed at me or scaredly glanced at me but the thing common among them was confusion which was etched on every face about my identity. A man as if knowing who I was approached me bowing and without a word escorted me to a room on the top most secluded floor.

Entering the room, I was greeted by a group of sophisticated individuals, each with their own agenda.

"Signora Viper," a suave man approached her, extending a hand. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person. I'm Theodore, the head of the Di Marino family."

"The pleasure is mine, Signor Theodore," Alessandra replied, shaking his hand. "I've heard a lot about your family's reputation. As you all have been a significant and oldest clients of our Academy"

"And I've heard about your extraordinary skills. How's Alex honestly I never thought he will agree to send you here but I guess our years of contact made him understand the importance of this mission and need for you in it" Theodore stated, "Let's discuss the details of the mission, shall we?"

Theodore introduced me to everyone present there although I already knew them having interrogated everything earlier I played unknown. Later he took me to a private room with only the two of us there.

Soon we started discussing the mission as Theodore laid out the whole mission, the targeted ones, marked places and informations to extract from this mission. I listened everything intently noting it mentally. I knew it was a risky mission not because of the dangers in it as I'd done worse but the chances of me coming across those who I never wish to see again.

"Signor Theodore," I began, my voice steady. "Your mission will be executed as you expect with barely any chance of a flaw. However, there are a few conditions I must insist upon."

Theodore leaned forward, intrigued. "Oh? And what might those be?"

"First," I stated, "I require absolute discretion which you might know having been in contact with our academy since so long but this time it's more, not even your closest should know. My whereabouts, locations, identity, even existence here in Rome is supposed to be hidden from each and everyone."

Theodore nodded, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Of course. Secrecy is paramount."

"Second," I continued, "I need assurances regarding the safety of any of my operatives that will be assisting in the mission. Any harm inflicted upon them will be met with swift and severe consequences. Their identity is to be hidden as well for their protection."

Theodore's expression turned serious. "I understand the importance of protecting your people. We will ensure their safety."

"And finally," I pressed, "we need a clear exit strategy. A contingency plan in case things go awry."

Theodore hesitated, his eyes narrowing. "A contingency plan? That seems a bit premature, doesn't it? Don't you trust us?"

"Better safe than sorry, Signor Theodore," I replied, her tone unwavering. "If It's a matter of trust, than trust is earned, not given. And my trust is too difficult to be earned"

Theodore sighed, conceding. "Very well. You've made your point. Let's execute it then."

As we finalized the terms of the agreement, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. Theodore seemed too eager, too willing to compromise. I had a feeling of him having an ulterior motive, a hidden agenda beneath the polished facade.

I slipped out of his building having successfully completed the first step of my mission, but the real challenge lay ahead. I made my way back to my hotel room, my mind racing. I had to organize the information I had gathered and formulate a plan for the next step. I had to be careful, every step of the way to not encounter anyone from past reopening the wounds.

Soon I reached my hotel showering quickly, I wore a form-fitting black off-shoulder dress with long sleeves showing off my figure. Pulling my hair up in a ponytail, I wore black tights and knee-high boots, lastly wearing minimal jewelry.

I reached one of the most elite and famous club of Marinos making my way inside with the identity of Giorgia Esposito. I ordered a glass of red wine, sipping it slowly as I observed everyone present there.

Soon enough, a burly man with a menacing scar across his face approached me. "You look lost, bella," he growled, his voice rough and gravelly.

I smiled, my eyes flashing with a dangerous glint. "Perhaps I am," I replied, my voice low and seductive no mater how much I cringed internally. "But I'm also looking for someone."

The man's eyes narrowed. "And who might that be?"

"A man named Salvatore," I said in a slightly whispered voice.

The man's face lit up with recognition and suspicion. "Salvatore, eh? You wanna meet him which indicates that you're not a normal woman rather a part of underworld. Anyways, Salvatore's a busy man, but I might be able to introduce you. But he's indulged as of now in an important conversation with some prestigious people. Let's see if we can get in."

I thanked him as he took me towards the room Salvatore was in, my heart pounding with anticipation. He was the first step of the mission but the main information had to be extracted from him. I knew I had to play my cards right, to be both alluring and dangerous, to command respect without revealing my true intentions.

But again, I am a femme fatale, a dangerous seductress, a skilled fighter. I am the Viper, and I am always ready to strike.
