Prologue
Flames. Flames. Everywhere it’s just smoke and flames. I feel like my eyes are burning, and at the verge of popping out of my sockets. Right now, all I could muster and remember was a single name.
Nadia…
The whole ball room is a live bloody hell and the ashes of the burnt down curtains and the chandelier has covered the half burnt human figures scattered on the floor in middle of a pool of blood. My twelve years old mind could only comprehend that an attack was there to the grand ball of prestigious mafia families of the city and I have lost my grandparents maybe even my sister.
Sister…..
“Nadia…Nadia…..! Can you hear me?”. My trembling voice echoed through the blackened hall, and my feet started to drag me towards the main door, through which I saw my sister running outside, for the last time armed but never came back.
Blood is dripping from my forehead , and I literally could feel a metallic taste in my mouth , arousing the bile in my tummy.
Tummy…
That’s when I remembered that I was shot right in my stomach.My dazzling golden dress was now soaked in blood. Regardless I went out the mansion in search of my sister.
OH GOD! The whole garden was a mess. Hundreds of guards of different mafia families are laying dead, and to my horror a bunch of kinds are hung up in a tree after splitting their delicate throats and tying together. Disgust and sheer anger.That was all I could feel after the dangerous numbness I feel.
Bitter tears were pouring down my cheeks, and within few elongated seconds a black SUV entered through the driveway’ and parked right in front of me.
Relief flooded me when Jacob, mine and Nadia’s personal bodyguard, stepped out the driver’s side. He started to stride towards me and his unusual scowl, unclear eyes and eyes –on-the-floor habit doesn’t make my heart and fears silent but more chaotic and panicked.“Jacob….”, I whispered “Where is my sister? Have you seen her? Where is she, it was you who sprang out the hall with her”, with each word my voice became sharp. Jacob on the other looked straight into my eyes, and I could see tears……..?
“Mi dispiace tanto,fiorellino…. “, he whispered as a lone tear cascaded down his dirty cheeks
WAIT!What the hell?
“Perche’, cosa `e successo?”
He gestured me to follow him. When we reached the car he came before, he swiftly opened the back door and nodded his head towards the back seat .I slowly peeked at the back seat .I everyday thought that I was never petrified by blood.
Today it was proved wrong.
“NO……!”, My horrendous screams cracked my own ear drums, and with that I slumped to the ground.
No….That cannot be my sister. My Nadia…..More than a big sister, she was a mother to me, and now she’s laying lifeless at the backseat of Jacob’s fucking SUV. Her face is totally destroyed due to fire, scrapes and two gunshots and practically her body is beaten up to dust. My sister was a talented assassin of the Amato family, which is also my lineage. My father was stabbed and bled to death, my mother was sexually assaulted and killed in front of my own eyes, and now my sister was brutally tortured and murdered. Behind everything, everything there could be only one name. The name I loath most, curse to my bone marrow and will definitely make sure to wipe away from the whole world.
“Who was it?”, I inquired, even though I knew the exact answer. Jacob sighed deeply . “As usual, the Ferrari family”.
That was enough to awaken the demon within me.
Ferrari, this is only the beginning of the destruction…..
