Nicolas:
A quick glance around the surrounding making it familiar for me of why the place is like this.
Basically a torn out castle, on the roof of which hundreds of men assembling.
" Eagles" One of my men whispers in my ears making it clear for me, why the eagle tattoo is revealing in a good show along their forearm.
"stiamo rispettando le vostre richieste"
(we are complying with your demands )I say, just as an information to settle in their fucking brains.
I could see one of their men, smirking.. guess he is the leader, I don't fucking care, what's making me calmer is the site of his skull being ripped apart and that pea sized brain being flustered with blood all over.
" my khotim porty dlya biznesa" he says, without getting even a single word of Russian, I guessed from his expression, he is demanding for more.
"They are demanding our ports for business, and that too.... " The translator went silent.. as he saw the rage bewildered inside me.
Eagles are one of the most nagging Russian mafias I have ever came across, they are distinguished traffickers of teenage girls and ladies around the age of twenties , I allowed them to deal with drugs without being arrested from Italian police, I complied with their demands hoping that they'll shut out their human trafficking business, exactly the thing which I despise the most is human trafficking and that too of teenage girls.
I clenched my jaws and let out an audible sigh as I thought about her... Alessa.
The man that seems around of my age comes in front of me, one of the eagles, my men immediately get attentive bringing out the required amos.
My face expressionless, as he probably tries to read it, he sits on the chair against me and smirks.
"my budem pirovat' s nashey luchshey devushkoy" he says as he lits out his cigar, blowing the rings against the soft air.
I remain silent tolerating his shit... interpreting to which extent he can go.
He signals his men.. and they nod.
And then there comes a soft fragile soul, her mouth being tied, her hands chained... she was whimpering in Russian in God knows what.
The one thing I can comprehend that she is broken.
" Privedi syuda Alessu"
(Bring Alessa over here)
He signals his men, and they do exactly what he asked for.
They make them sit on her squatting position her hand behind her torso, she was looking feeble, vulnerable, as if she wasn't fed for days.
She had dark circles.
"ona tebe nravilas'"
(This one is for you) he smirks, making my blood boil from inside.
I don't get Russian but his constant smirks are making me sick.
My translator translates his offer, and without wasting a second I pull my trigger right into his head.
His smirk dies, as my bullet goes straight to his fucking head, now it's my time to smirk.
For a second his men were dead shocked, their capo was dead obviously, but this is the least I could care for.
They try to pull out their guns, a commotion and hustle fills up the environment when they try to shoot me, but my men were fast, they capture every single one of them, making captive under my mercy.
"Thank you" that girl had tears in her eyes, I clench my jaws , without saying anything, I immediately head to my car.
" This means war capo" Luca ,my brother says lighting his cigar.
" Do you think I care!!! " I say, he bows his head
He shruggs and started looking outside of the window.
I got to know, the man I killed was none other than Russian mafia's son Leonid.
I immediately lit my cigarette, working on my laptop.
" Capo, they'll block our trade!!! " This voice belongs to Luca.
" In Russia!! " I clear him, my expressions calm.
I don't bother, I am least bothered for those, my trade is already well established across the world and I don't need Russians.
" But... " Luca tries to proceed further when I stop him.
" Where is she?? "
" who?? "
" Alessa" I swallow a lump in my throat.
Luca gave me an unreadable expression, he must be stunned.
"you did this for.... her!! " Luca's voice was shattering after a long pause
" nope! " I didn't bother to look at him, I don't care for other, I'm a selfish man, already living my life in blood shot world.
He nods, I was shocked cause Luca can't leave a Matter without investigation.
"we are here" He informs me and I got down , looking at the huge mansion, Costello's engraved on the name plate.
Amidst the dark, I still remember her.. Alessa, my light, my sister, I had always loved from my heart, the only river of calmness in my chaotic ocean.
I was thinking about her lively soul, when the sleep engulfed me.
I was used to being tortured by my father, exactly rightly heard, my real father, as my mom used to say.
I still remember, the whips flashed on my cream skin, and the marks are still there, they are the proof, that I am ruthless and heartless now.
They call me, Capo.. but I know I'm no more than a blood hungry monster everyone fears.
I am like this, cause my circumstances build me like this, and honestly I don't have any sympathy over me.
It was my destiny , my fate to become the most cruel mafia leader, and I'm.
And the sole reason of these chaos is, Dimitri.. my mom's lover, the person due to whom my life turned upside down.
What does a person wish for, a father, mother, a brother, sister , a bit of happiness, I had them all, but the only thing missing was happiness.
Dimitri made me like this, the lover of my mother to whom she was crazy for, she sweared her life for him, but what did he do, he just left her in seconds making her loose her mental stability.
Everything was perfect, when dad, my father, or then a Capo, turned to be heartless towards me, beating the shit out of me, suspecting my existence, if I was Dimitri's flesh and blood.
Every time he used to drink, he used to hit me with the nearest sharpest object aside, I still remember when I was eleven he crashed a whiskey bottle on my forehead, leaving a scar on my head.
I used to weep at my torments and my little angel, my Alessa used to heal them , by consoling me, by applying the ointment with her gentle little hands.
But then the day came when I heard the worst news of my life, my sister, was kidnapped, and sold to Russians, since then, I never knew her whereabouts, that day, even a single bit of humanity and emotions died inside me, making me
the way I am now.
They call me villian, I'm... there isn't a single doubt on this fact, I know, I'm a villian, a monster, I know I have Orphaned kids, I am reason of many women being widows at this age.
But do I care?? no, I don't know.. I just want this to end, but I know this will never end..
They call me orphan, yes I'm an orphan, I happened to murder my own dad, The Capo, a reason will always be there.
Nothing happens without a reason, I know, he was trying to rape a woman half of his age, and she was whimpering in pain, I never wanted to do this , but I did, when she called me son...
I shot his head just in a single bullet, and captured the throne as Capo, Luca didn't have any emotions left for our bastard father, he started considering work as his life, since the accident.
Now the only mission of my life is find Dimitri and make his life a living hell, and I'll soon do that.

Sofia:
" No , Vanessa, you seriously think it'll work like that!!! " I scrunched my nose and pouted innocently.
" obviously Sofie, the curtains are all well!!blue goes with white!! " she puts her hand around her waist.
" yeah whatever!! " I roll my eyes..
" So how's going between you and Paul!!! ?? " she asks out of the blue, oblivious to the fact that he was never mine.
Suddenly my expressions goes to hell, and the gloom covers my face.
" nothing serious!! " I try to distract myself looking somewhere else, trying my best to avoid this ongoing conversation.
what should I tell her, he was never mine!!
" Sofie!! I'm your best friend, I know you since we were in diapers, I can read you, although I was away from you since two years doesn't mean, you can hide your feelings from me!! " she faced me.
I simply nodded still not starting the conversation.
"Sofie!! "
" hmm?? "I bit my inner cheeks.
" tell!! " it was more like a command.
I found my tears welled up in my eyes, as I looked to her, I found it difficult to pronounce a single word.
I gulped a lump in my throat, I know the agony will be gone if I share.
" I don't know, Vanessa, I thought him to be my everything, but what he gave me was none other than false hopes.
I called him, every single time, I was away, but he used to ignore my messages and calls"
I sobbed in her arms.
" oh honey, I'm sorry, I never meant to make your mood gloomy all of the sudden " she consoled.
" No, Vanessa, I have to let this out!!! "
" yesterday too, I called, but that straight went to the voice mail, didn't he have a minute to answer my question??
But whom I am I kidding, destiny has always been like this to me!! " I laughed sarcastically mocking my drowning fate.
" So?? "
" So!! "
" I mean do you have think about future!! ".
I shrugged.
" I don't know, Vanessa, but trust me, I'll not be able to love someone after this mean heartbreak!! "
she caressed my shoulder.
" this isn't my Sophie at all, you were never like this, you are strong Soph!! "
I let out a sigh and sat at the other corner.
" So what are you aspiring to do?? " she asked.
" I wasn't able to save myself from this depression, but I guess I can help the prisoners to settle their life.. since I have completed my bachelors in Psychology, I'll be aiding them for the betterment of their life!!"
" great!! , but why the criminals?? "
" none is born criminal, circumstances made them so, at least a simple light of hope can make huge changes for good, in their lives!! "
I smiled.
She nodded, Vanessa had been the closest friend, or should I say the only friend.
We somehow managed to remain at each other's side, even when I wasn't allowed to do so.
Yeah I wasn't allowed to make friends, but Vanessa's vibes matched with me, and here we are, the soul sisters.
I was walking in the park, when I found a girl sobbing cause her balloon was stuck at tree branch, I stooped to her level.
" What happened??!! little love!! "
" there... my balloon " she pointed at the branch while sobbing.
I jumped to the branch and grabbed it up for her.
" thank you" she chirped and kissed my cheeks, while her father called , she ran to him.
They were looking so adorable, a father and daughter duo is the best, honestly, one of the most purest relations of the world.
But may be I'm not fortunate enough to get father's love , exactly... my own father, who gave me a lavish life, I lived in th royale, experienced luxury, but never the love.
I have always craved for father's love.
He used to drop me at nanny's care, Martha, she is every relation I know, I had gone through a lot of pain, they say, money is all you want, but that's not the fact, your life is incomplete without love.
Martha used to tell me, I had a mother, and she was beautiful, dad loved her, but he turned out like this, when she died, dad always had remained loyal to mom, he never remarried, but I don't know, why did he turn cold towards me.
Martha used to console me , when all those lonely nights haunted me.
He was busy, everytime even though I needed him, he was never present.
Children used to wholeheartedly celebrate father's Day, and that was the day, I remained locked at my room sobbing at the corner, trying to chase out the demons of the past.
I craved for love, but never ever I had been provided, instead of Martha none cared for me.
I had been deprived of making friends, dad strictly prohibited and above all I wasn't permitted to have a boyfriend, when I met to Paul, I found a sudden attraction with him, the sparks generated and we started to date, but my dreamy bubble burst up, when he all of the sudden left me, without a second thought.
When I was pursuing my bachelor's I came across many people, and got to know that this world is not just a peaceful place.
I realized that people who mask their wrong deeds are considered saints and the one who are not able to do so are called VILLIANS.
I never judge someone, NEVER, I met Paul in a weird completely inadvertent situation, yet I gave him a chance, and what did he do, he shattered me in once.
So probably this is the reason why I'm trying to make people realize what's the righteousness, and from now on I'll be helping them, to find the new shelter, a new job.
No one is born criminal, the society the circumstances make them so, they also deserve to live their life wholeheartedly, Martha says, my mom wanted me to make her proud.
I'm doing this for you mom, I looked at the sky and a lone tear escaped my eyes, no matter what, I'll be choosing humbleness and politeness over other things.
All the characters and place are of solely my imagination

Sofia:
It's the autumn day and rustling sounds of dry leaves are echoing in my ears, giving a type of soothing effect .
It's kinda satisfying that amidst all difficult circumstances how, small things give nerve calming effects to my ears.
I was busy in my thoughts when I got a phone call, dad.
I frown but after few rings I pick up the call.
" hello!"
" detca, it's been months I have heard your voice!! "
"no dad, it's been months since you called, it's been months that finally you got to realize that you have a daughter!!! "
" so, you are mad at me??!!! "
" no, why would I, after all I know, nothing will happen nonetheless what!! "
I gave an audible sigh, and found that the other side is silent for a while.
"Cut the crap, Sofia!! why have you left the mansion!! " his voice was intimidating this time, and this is the only reason why, I hate my dad, he never likes my freedom, he wants me to remain as a caged bird.
" Dad, I just want alone time with myself, I am trying to build myself... I just... want to establish and earn my name"
I could hear him, gritting his teeth, guess he is pissed off, as I straight forwardly disobeyed him.
" And what are going to do??? preach those bastard criminals, the lesson of sanity, how to become pure and divine?? " I can feel the amount of mockery in his words, as he sarcastically spit it.
" Dad, everyone has the right to live a soulful life, what's wrong in that?? "
I was about to say more, when the phone call was disconnected from the other side, he always does that, he never listens my perspective, he compels me to imply whatever he asks for, that makes me go insane.
...................................................................
Wearing a pair of frameless glasses, I started attending my first patient, yeah, I don't think that's appropriate to call them criminals, when they have completely led their life in misery.
Their reasons make them so.
Since I had been trying to collect the data and information about him, as it would be useful to give a proper vocation.
The man's name was Antonio, and he was arrested after murdering a bunch of teenagers, as they were trying to rape his daughters, but the court being biased, Antonio was put behind the bars, and those spoiled brats were proven innocent.
It was an ugly truth that, one whose sins are proven are culprits and those who have masked themselves are considered saints.
As I talked to various collaboration, they assured to give Antonio a decent life, as Antonio is a skillful worker, he Will be getting a nice job.
" Thank you!! " he said.
" it's my job, take care!! " and I smiled.
As I was rummaging through my documents, a bunch of men had barged in my office, and I know who are they, I know why they have been sent.
" Miss Sofia, you have to come with us!! "
I know there isn't any use protesting, so I took my belongings and went to where I had been instructed to.
My dad's bodyguards never leave me alone, and I guess the minions have smelled me here to.
" Victor, can I just go and bid a good bye to my colleague?? "
he nodded affirmatively and instead of remaining at his position, he followed me, damn him.
I pretended to enter in one of the rooms and sneaked in the washroom, there was a spare door, which leads to the back portion of the building.
Finding this as an opportunity, I decided to flee from there, under the nose of arrogant idiots.
I took a simple U turn to the most secure place, a library where I couldn't be traced, I switched my phone off, if there are any chances I could be found, it can be because I can be traced via GPS.
" Miss Sofia!!! " victor yells from the second floor, trying to make me stop.
But no Sofie... now or never.. don't be a cage bird, fly to your heights, go explore, my inner self assured me, and without sparing a further glance at him, I simply increased the pace of my steps.
And boom I bumped to the most beautiful man, I have ever seen in my life, he had covered himself in the normal weather autumn, yet his beautiful face wasn't left aside from my glance.
He had sharp chizel jawline, his darkest black orbs were intimidating yet beautiful, his plum lips were kissable.
He is a strange Sophie!!!
" please help me... hide"
And the next thing I knew , I was covered under his jacket, and his strong cologne filled my nostrils , it wasn't a usual men's perfume, it was something alluring. I clutched his jacket tightly, and his hand went behind my head to support it, it was need of the situation that I had my eyes closed otherwise I would have appreciating his beauty.
" where did she go??? " One of the men behind was searching for me.
" I don't know, let's search to the other side"
they nodded and went out of sight in a minute.
I pulled apart and mumbled thank you.
He nodded, and I found it utterly amazing, he was somewhat looking perfect.
He was mysteriously charming, I haven't seen someone like him before, he remained staring at my eyes as if trying to figure out the deepest secrets through my orbs only.
"you trying to escape?? "
for a minute I remained awestruck at his voice, it was the darkest shade of masculine voice I've ever heard, the most low pitched and sinceresincere, I was easily intimidated by his voice.
" No... " I don't know but I shuttered, looking downwards
" Lie doesn't suit you, bambina! "
He gently squeezed my hands to assure I was safe.
" I'm sorry I didn't get your name?? " I gestured, to be polite, although he isn't letting me to be myself, he is making me conscious.
" Nico!! " he said. I chuckled, finding his name cute.
" Thank you Nico!! "
" That's okay Sofia!! "
" huh!! "
he gestured my I'd card, which was hung from my neck.
"see you!!! " he said and walked to the other direction making me rooted at the place I was a minute ago.
I didn't budge, I just thought of him.
Nico, cute name, I thought.
But the most important thing I should be concerned right now,is none other than my safety.
I don't want to be caught by dad's men, so instead of ascending towards Vanessa's place, I thought of choosing a hotel, I know they'll be enquiring Vanessa after this.
I already had my own credit card which had enough cash for me to fly to other country.
I thought of every possibility before so I already prepared a backup plan, I am thinking fleeing somewhere peaceful, away from the tantrums of my dad.
I immediately went to the farthest hotel, from my office and unpacked my belonging, At least I can stay here peacefully, I didn't inform Vanessa yet, I will... but after the death of all this commotion in my life right now.
