Mafia. You mean like the thing where people kill each other and deal drugs.. like that kind of mafia? I sit there staring at Marcus in shock. I have watched mafia movies and all that but to think I am involved with one? Holy shit. I should be bothered you know. Bothered with the fact that the men in front of me probably killed someone before coming here. But I'm not. God something is wrong with me. What I am bothered about is how long Marcus and Dakota kept this from me. He started working for this company 6 years ago, becoming CEO 5 years ago. Has he known that long and not told me?

"Kiana. Say something" Marcus speaks up and I give him the coldest glare. Standing up, I walk over to him. Pausing between each word, I say "How. Long?" He looks at me and he knows when I get mad, I am literally a wild animal. He even admitted that I scare him and no one scares my brother. He gulps and looks at me in my eyes, showing a small amount of fear.

"5 and a half years."

Before he could say more I raise my hand slap him right across his face, completely unfazed of the people in the room. 

"Five fucking years and I am just hearing about this! What the fuck happened to never keep anything from each other. I tell you and Dakota everything. Fucking everything!"

Dominic decides to chime in and says "Let's take five yeah?"

Turning towards him, I walk past and purposely bump into his shoulder causing him to stumble a little.

"I am going to talk to Dakota and if you want to see him alive I suggest you try to stop me." Then I throw the doors open and bolt out with Marcus hot on my tail. I run through the kitchen area throwing the trashcan down causing him to trip over it, buying me some time. I get to Dakota's door and throw it open. He lays on his bed, so unfazed and peaceful typing away on his phone.

"You sick piece of shit" His eyes tear from his phone screen and he examines my face. 

"What crawled up your ass" He lets out a deep laugh and notices Marcus running behind me. "Fuck. You know don't you."

To answer his question, I lunge forward just missing Marcus's grip. I jump onto Dakota, punching his chest repeatedly and smacking his face multiple times. Marcus grips my waist and rips me off forgetting about my bruise. I scream in pain and yell at him to put me down.

"MY SIDE YOU FUCKING IDIOT" and with that I sock him right in the jaw. I am not weak that's for sure. It causes him to stumble back and he shoots me a cold look. One second he goes from feeling bad to I fucked up. Walking towards me, he grabs my wrist and pins me on the wall.

"Calm the fuck down Kiana"

"So the attack on me. It has to do with you guys?" I feel tears pricking my eyes but I quickly blink them away. I haven't cried since mom and dad died and I plan on keeping it that way. No words were spoke until Dakota finally grew a pair and spoke.

"yes"

I pushed Marcus off me and notice Lorenzo and Dominic strolling up to the door and I give all my attention to them. I walk up to them and push Lorenzo out of my way. To my surprise he lets me. Considering he is the most feared mafia leader, why hasn't he hit me back or even killed me. I walk past them to my room slamming the door. I lay in bed and bury my face in giant, fluffy pillows. There are 3 knocks on my door.

"Leave me alone god dammit!' I say chucking a pillow at the door.

 I am really not in the mood to talk to anyone. Whoever it is knocks three times again. I know it isn't my brothers because they didn't do our signature knock, so it has to be stupid Lorenzo or dumbass Dominic. I roll over and drag my feet to the door throwing it open.

"Bingo! It's dumbass Dominic! Yay me"

"Dumbass Dominic huh. I feel so loved"

"Yeah well so do I"

He shuts the door behind him and heads over to where I am on the bed. I sit in the middle while he sits on the edge, leaning back on his arm. 

"You know," he speaks up, "they wanted to tell you. They really did. But in this life, you can't just tell anyone. Plus Enzo specifically told him not to tell you for your own safety."

I scoff, "For my own safety? I don't even know this Lofenzo dude and he wants me safe? I don't give a shit who you guys are. You walked in here and basically laid a shit load of information on me that I should've known 5 and a half fucking years ago." He sits there and stares at me saying nothing. I let out a deep sigh "How would you feel if the people you trust most lie to you for almost 6 years straight?"

"Pretty shitty"

"Exactly."

"But Kiana, you do see where they are coming from right? If they told you, you would have to be involved and they just wanted you to be safe from danger."

"Well look how that turned out. Maybe if they told me, I could've learned to fight better then I wouldn't be sitting here with this." I lift up my shirt revealing the crazy bruise. He raises his eyebrows slightly and looks at me. We stare each other in the eyes and I swear I saw a hint of hurt in them before he blinks it away. Before any of us can say anything, his phone gets a notification and he quickly reads it. Putting his phone in his suit pocket, he looks up to me.

"We need to go to the living room. They need to talk to you."

"Tell them they can suck it." I say and give him the biggest smile. 

"Kiana just hear them out" Dominic says and I listen. He helps me out of bed and runs to the door and opens it for me. 

"I thought mafia men were supposed to not give a fuck about people, especially woman."

He lets out a laugh. "My mother raised me right I guess" and shrugs his shoulders.

We enter the living room and Marcus and Dakota keep their heads down, but Lorenzo is staring at me. Almost like he is reading me like a book. I glare at him and sit at a single person couch opposite of everyone while Dom sits next to Lorenzo. 

"So what is this about. Why do you guys need to talk to me so bad."

Dakota and Marcus look up at me then look at Lorenzo. I am confused as to what is going on. Everyone is silent until Dakota is the first to speak up.

"You are coming back to California with us."

I look at him and let out the biggest laugh ever. Although I don't have much for me going here except for school, I can't let them treat me like a child. "Like hell I am!"

"This isn't up for discussion Kiana." Marcus says locking eyes with me.

"What do you mean this isn't up for discussion. I have lived here for three years now dumbass. I can't just get up and leave in the middle year of school either.  I will have to retake my third year." I really don't care what I do, but I do know that I need to finish my third year of college before I can just get up and leave. After being silent for quite some time, Lorenzo decides it is his time to speak up,

"I already have transferred you to UCLA. You start next Thursday. You and your brother will both be living in my home for a while since you couldn't mind your own business and got involved with the wrong people. This is the end of the discussion. You are coming and that's final."

"Excuse me. Since I couldn't mind my own business? Do you have siblings Mr.Ferrucio? Sisters perhaps?"

"Two brothers, one sister."

"I see. Well tell me this. If you saw your sister being touched and hit by a man, wouldn't you step in?" He stayed quiet and clenched his fists. "That's what I thought. Since I apparently have no fucking choice and I am standing in front of the worlds most feared mafia leader, who by the way seems like a little bitch, when the fuck are we leaving?" I stand up from the couch making my way to the window to glance outside. I can feel Lorenzo's glare burning holes through my head.

"Listen to me and listen closely. You do not know me and since your brothers are in my inner circle, I will not lay a hand on you. But if you ever think to mention my family or disrespect me again- I will not hesitate to punish. Not even your brothers or God could help you. Understand?"

I roll my eyes and nod simply because I am not in the mood to go back and forward with anyone right now. 

"and to answer your question. We are leaving now. Your stuff is already on the jet waiting for us."
