Ronan

After dropping Acaia home, I headed for my sisters club.

I knew she was there. I mean, when wasn't she?

I entered her restricted area with ease, spotting her making out with a curly haired boy, which didn't shock me one little bit.

"Get out." I snapped towards the unknown boy. He scrambled to get away from Alexandria, who seemed unfazed by my appearance.

Alexandria looked over towards me with a bored look. "Ronan, if you've came here to give me another pep talk, I don't wanna hear it. I'm 18, which means i'm legal to do most fucking things—"

"Alex, shut up." I snapped. She gave me a dirty look, but remained quiet.

"Benjamin knows something else about mom's kidnapping."

Alexandria's became tense as she spoke, "What do you mean? Mom's dead, Ronan. We've seen the fucking body."

I sat down in the seat beside her, dragging a hand over my face. "But what if that wasn't her? I mean, we never got to see her face. And the body was void of mom's wedding ring."

Alexandria scoffed, standing up. "No, stop it. You can feed into this illusion of her still being alive all you want, Ronan, but i'm done living in the past."

And with that, she walked away.

I clicked my tongue, trying to contain the anger boiling up inside of me, but I couldn't.

I slammed several punches into the wall beside me, not being able to stop myself.

How the fuck could she be so insensitive?

How could she give up so easily?

The body we both seen in the video we was shown was clearly not our mother.

I needed answers.

Acaia

"Acaia, you've got to eat." Belle's soft voice entered my ears.

I was currently sat on the couch, lost in a haze. My hair was knotted and messy, and my glasses sat lazily on my face.

"I'll eat later." I plainly responded, propping my head up with my fingertips as I stared at the computer in front of me.

I had spent the last two days researching Haiser Alonso and every single association he had ever had with anyone, and each time, I came out empty handed.

Every single possibility had crossed my mind.

Maybe an affair, or an alliance gone wrong. My mother had a tendency to hide things from my father, and she had always loved the idea of her own mafia.

Maybe my father had done something to piss of the Spanish, so they killed my mother as if to make a point.

I mean hell, there must have been a better reason than 'there was no leads' to have closed my mothers case.

I threw my head back groaning.

I knew there was only one option.

"Belle, pass me my phone please." Belle complied, chucking me my phone.

I pulled up his contact, before calling it.

It only rang twice before he answered, but I didn't give him a chance to speak.

"We need to do this alliance."

༊*·˚

It had been a day since me and Ronan accepted Benjamin's offer, and we had a bigger idea for this alliance.

But there was no time to think about it any longer as we spotted the man in the distance.

I found it weird that all of a sudden, Benjamin wanted an alliance after trying to slaughter me and Ronan for almost a year and now all of a sudden he's just gave up.

In fact, it was more than weird, because by him aligning with us, it will make him look more weak. Not because of our status', but over the fact Benjamin, a fully grown middle aged man, couldn't kill two people who were still basically teenagers.

"Good morning, strangers." Benjamin sarcastically spoke, sitting down opposite me and Ronan.

My face remained void of any emotions, as did Roman's.

"How are you both on this fine morning?" Benjamin tried to begin small talk, but I just wanted to get answers.

"You got your alliance, Benjamin, now give us our answers." Benjamin frowned ever so slightly, "If I must." He mumbled like a child.

"Your mother was always a whore, Acaia, let's be real. You and I both know she was cheating on your father for years prior her death. But then came along Haiser Alonso. She promised to leave your father for him, but she never did. Haiser got sick of the waiting game, so he decided to find out more about her. That's when he found out that she had never stopped being a slut. In fact, she was 2 months pregnant with god knows who's baby when she died.

So Haiser came running along to me, and begged me to kill your mother because he could bare to do it himself. I wasn't going to, but he was just so annoying, so I did it to shut him up. But then he returned 5 years later, asking me to kill both you and Acaia, how could I deny the offer? I mean hell, how good would that look on my reputation? Killing the best assassin the mafia has ever seen, and the one youngest mafia boss theres ever been, there's got to be an award for that.

But then Haiser backed out of the deal just as the bomb went off. Though, I couldn't say I wasn't expecting it. Mr big bad Haiser stepped down from the throne merely a year ago at a rather younger age than most would, and then he disappeared, and bailed on our deal. Surely there's gotta be a bigger reason to it all?"

My jaw was clenched so hard I was rather concerned that my teeth were about to break as I processed the information I had just been told.

My mom was pregnant, meaning that not only did she die, but so did that baby.

Hell, there was some part of me that was no longer mad at dad for closing the case so soon.

I tried to control the anger I was feeling, but I just couldn't.

Just as I was about to react, a rough but soft hand grabbed mine, giving it a small squeeze of reassurance.

My body relaxed slightly as I remained quiet.

"My father stepped down because he became unfit to rule, there is no underlying reason. Now tell me about my mother."

"No can do, my times run out."

And with that, a bullet pierced his forehead.
