|Enzo's POV|

We entered Vladimir's house. By we; I meant, me, Alessio, Dominic, Dante, Antonio and Bianca. The rest of my men were outside, waiting for my signal.

We were greeted by the devil himself. He was sitting in the living room, with a smirk on his face as if he knew we would be coming; of course he knew.

"So…you're here for your brother, I presume?" He asked, standing up. I rolled my eyes at him. However, before I could speak up, Alessio beat me to it. "Where is he?"

He chuckled before shaking his head, "If you think you can come in my territory and order me around, you're deeply mistaken, kid."

"If you think you can kidnap my brother and expect me to obey to your orders like a damn puppy, you're deeply mistaken, son." Alessio retorted.

Vladimir chuckled, "You must be Alessio. The world's best sniper; famous for never missing his shot."

"You've heard of me." Alessio smirked. His ego was definitely getting boosted, "Splendid."

"Oh I know all about you." Vladimir smirked, "About your family...Anyway, Enzo De Luca…where's the Deadly?"

Bianca came forward, "I am here."

Vladimir raised his brows at Bianca. "Is this some kind of sick joke?"

"No? She's the Deadly." Alessio replied, pushing Bianca foward making me sigh. He never really liked Bianca. She took a step backward, coming next to me and glared at Alessio who smirked at her.

"You really want your brother dead, don't you?" Vladimir asked me, making me clench my jaw in anger. How the fuck did he know that Bianca wasn't the deadly?

"Where the fuck is she?" He asked, raising his voice in anger.

"Who is she?" Dante asked, making Vladimir chuckle darkly. "The Deadly."

"How do you know it's a she?" Dominic asked and Vladimir chuckled again. What's up with him and chuckling all the time?

"Because…" he paused and glanced at everyone, "she's my daughter."

"She isn't." Alessio hissed and I as well as Dominic, Dante and Bianca shot him a confused look.

"Oh but she is…" Vladimir smirked, "She's her father's daughter. She kills…without remorse. She tortures her targets until they die…just like me."

"You made her like this. If you hadn't did what you did then she would never have been who she is today, you cocksucking bastard" I snapped at the man.

"It isn't because of me. She chose this path. She chose to have Revenge." Vladimir retorted.

I scoffed, "So did I because it is what everyone else would've done, dumbass. When we are done here, I'm going to make you suck your own dick."

And I was not kidding. "Now, where the fuck is Blake?"

"Blake? Tell me—my dearest step-son—" he smirked making me frown, "I'm not your step son. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"But you are— married your mother, didn't I? Which makes you, my dear, my step son."

"My mother is dead."

"Is she? Did your sister see her dead? Did you see her dead body? If she told you that then obviously, she lied to you." Vladimir said making me clench my fist in anger.

Lea told me that our mother told her to run. She didn't tell me that she saw her dead. But since Vladimir killed our dad, she assumed that he would kill her too. I would've assumed the same thing. She didn't lie. She just didn't know.

"I—Is she here?" I found myself stuttering. And I never stutter.

"Of course she is." Vladimir smirked before shouting, "Elizabeth!"

"What happened?" Enzo whispered to me. "Elizabeth—is my mother's name." I replied making his eyes widen slightly.

Just then, My very own mother came out of a room and walked towards Vladimir. When her eyes fell on me, they glittered with tears. "Alessio..."

"Mom.." I mumbled, my breath hitched in my throat, "You are alive."

"Not for long" Vladimir said and smirked, "If you don't bring your sissy to me."

I glanced at Enzo and everyone else from my team who held questioning looks on their faces. I sighed, "I'll explain everything later."

"Leave her out of this." I warned Vladimir, "In fact, you should onsider yourself lucky that she isn't here to kick your ugly ass."

Vladimir then began laughing. He was laughing like a maniac. He then smirked, "Kick my ass? Really, Alessio? You think that...my own daughter will kill me? Especially after finding out that I never killed her mother? I only killed your father, dear."

"You killed Lea's and Mine's father. You killed our father. She would never consider you as her father, Vladimir. She hates you as much as I do." I said seriously and watched as Vladimir's smirk fell.

"Lea is the Deadly..." Dominic mumbled with a frown, "She has been lying to us all this time!"

"Wait really? Wow...I didn't know." Dante replied sarcastically making Dominic groan.

"Enzo." He said, making Enzo stare at him, "What?"

"It's either his sister or your brother and his girlfriend. Who's it gonna be? Hand his sister to me and I'll let your brother go. No war necessary." Vladimir said with a smile.

My mom began shaking her head at Enzo, pleading him not to choose anything. Knowing Enzo, I knew he wouldn't choose anything. He would rather declare the damn war than giving over my sister, the woman he has grown to love.

When Arabella told me that my sister and Enzo slept together without knowing that Lea was actually my sister, I was happy. I couldn't think for a better life partner for my sister than Enzo. I didn't tell her that I knew. I was waiting for her to tell me.

When I saw the way Enzo would stare at my sister like she was the only person standing in the room we were all in, I knew that he felt something for her and so did my sister.

But what Enzo said next made my head snap in his direction. "Fine"

"What did you say?"

"Fine!" He repeated, answering my question, "I'll bring you Lea...in exchange of my brother and his girlfriend."

What the fuck was he doing?

He took out his phone and made a call to someone. "Bring her here." Then he ended the call and Vladimir smirked at him. "Bring Blake and his little girlfriend."

Two men who were behind him nodded and walked away. Few seconds later, they came back with Blake and Marissa. Blake looked fine but Marissa looked scared.

Of course she would be scared. She was caught up in the middle of a war between the Russian Mafia and the Italian along with the American Mafia. I actually pitied her at that time.

"She's been drugged so she'll be unconscious. You can take her—I'll take my brother and his girlfriend and leave." Enzo said to which Vladimir nodded. "Fine by me."

Vladimir wanted Lea that much?

Ignoring everyone else, I walked towards my mother and pulled her into a warm and comforting hug. She instantly hugged me back and cried.

"It's going to be okay, mom. I won't let anything happen to either you or Lea. Trust me, okay?" I whispered. She only nodded and hugged me tighter while crying. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... It's all my fault.."

"It isn't." I said defensively. "None of this is your fault. I will get you out of here today itself. I promise." I whispered so that no one except my mother could hear. She nodded again.

It was no secret that Vladimir was scared of me. He didn't dare to move and get me away from my mother even though i could see how angry he was.

After a few minutes, the door flew open and a man walked in, holding my unconscious sister in his arms.

If anything was to happen to my sister, I would kill that Enzo fucking De Luca. Any help is appreciated.
