" Good morning Luke , is Luciano already here ? " I said as I stood outside Leonardo's room .

" Yes ma'am , the whole family is actually here today . " he said and my smile instantly dropped .

" the whole family ? Like all of the Reigns ? " I questioned my eyes slightly widened and Luke nodded while chuckling at me .

" Well here ! I bought you some Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, I thought you'd be want some . " I said handing him the box containing the six doughnuts and a cup of hot chocolate .

" If boss doesn't marry you then I will, thank you ." Luke said practically drooling over the smell of the doughnuts and I only chuckled, waving him off . Me and Leonardo would never get married , we're too toxic together .

" Don't let my son hear you say that Luke or you'll end up 17 feet under ground . " Mr Reigns said appearing out of nowhere laughing, his laughter vibrating on the walls surrounding us .

" M-My apologies sir ." Luke said stumbling over his words with his head hung low.

" I'm only teasing young man , Amanda ! How're you ? " Mr Reigns questioned while looking down at me and I nervously smiled. Out of all the Reigns , Mr Reigns was the most intimidating . I barely speak when I'm around him, heck ! I barely move because I'm too scared I might say or do something wrong and that will lead to him killing me.

" I'm good thank you sir . " I answered still avoiding eye contact .

" are you not going to ask how I'm doing ? " he asked sternly and my eyes instantly widened .

" N-No No ! Pardon me sir , I'm so-- " I said but was cut off by his laughter, he had his hand on his stomach as he continued laughing his lungs out . A small smile creeped up on my face at the scene before me.

" Wheew ! You should've seen your face ." he said calming down from his laughter and I simply just smiled, still fidgeting with the handle of my purse .

" I thought I heard voices. Amanda sweety you look flashed , baby what did you do to her ? " Mrs Reigns said emerging from Leonardo's room , walking over to her husband and wrapping her short arms around her husband's waist .

" Nothing tesoro . We were just joking around. " he said before wrapping his arms around her, pulling her closer to him and kissing the top of her head . Mr Reigns was a very rough looking man , he always had a mug on his face but he instantly melts in the presence of his wife and that was heartwarming to see and he called her tesoro , Leonardo used to call me that .

" Okay but you should come in , Luciano has some news and we all have to be present ." she said with a serious tone while looking up at Mr Reigns, who now held a mug on his face.

" Come on let's go . " he said matching her tone , I'm assuming whatever news Luciano had were concerning the mafia . I cleared my throat before excusing myself.

" It was good seeing you Mr and Mrs Reigns but I... uhmm have to go, I'll just visit Leonardo some other time. " I said awkwardly scratching the back of my head.

" Okay sweetheart, get home safe ." Mrs Reigns said while smiling at me and Mr Reigns only gave me a head nod . I waved back at them before turning around and heading for the elevator.

"We're here !" my mother and father said as they came through the door joining the rest of the family, consisting of me, Mia, Rubi, Rita, Mia's husband Kristen, Mason and Luciano Sr, my father's twin brother who just flew in from Italy.

" Good, Luciano spit it out ! We're all here ." Mia said anxiously while looking at me. I sighed running a hand through my now messed up hair before tugging at it frustratingly.

" Well one of our biggest nuisance is in town and he wants to paint the town red with blood , our blood to be precise. " I said looking at my brother's lifeless body laying on the bed.

" Pssh ! He's not the first to say that and he definitely isn't the last . " Kristen said shrugging.

" Yes but he's already painting the town with our blood. " I said pointing at the unconscious Leonardo.

" What ? " my mother said staring straight at me.

" DeCarlo is back ma and he's the one who shot Leonardo at Diablo's party ." I said and silence filled the room, everyone taken back by the new information.

" DeCarlo as in the man who..." Mia said and I nodded.

" I swear I'm going to kill that son of a bitch MYSELF this time. " my father yelled while punching the framed portrait that hung on the wall causing the glass to shatter and fall to the floor .

" Well that seems to be on his agenda too because he left this by the receptionist and told her to give it to one of us . " I said taking out the piece of paper that was written in red ink from my pocket and Luciano Sr reached his hand out and I handed him the letter.

" 1 down , plenty to go ! DeCarlo sends love . " Sr said reading the piece of paper .

" That's where he's wrong ! " my mother laughed a humorless laugh.

" Leonardo isn't dead and he's not going to die either. DeCarlo is requesting war and we're going to give it to him. " she said her eye twitching .

" We're going to have to hit him with everything we got because if I remember correctly , he's a tough one . " Mason said sternly .

" but we're tougher ! Out of all mob's , he chose the wrong one to start war with . " I barked , my voice bouncing off the walls of the room.

" and this time we're going to finish this war , we've been letting him dance for way too long ." my father said finally speaking and you could hear the rage in his voice , his Italian accent slipping out .

" Oh ! There's a note on the back too , it says " P.s You're unborn grandchild included ." " I clenched my fists at the thought of him ever hurting my nephew or Amanda .

" he wants to do it again." Mia said softly, barely above a whisper but due to the silence that filled the room , I'm pretty sure everyone heard her .

" We won't let , that would break Leonardo. " my mom said staring out in space but you could hear the sadness in her voice .

" then let's break him first ." my father said standing up .

" RUBI LOCATE THIS BARSTARD ! MASON I WANT THIS BUILDING GUARDED 24/ 7, MAINLY THIS ROOM AND I WANT MEN GUARDING AMANDA TOO BUT FROM A DISTANCE, I DON'T WANT TO FRIGHTEN HER ! MIA, KRISTEN HOW FAST CAN YOU GET US WEAPONS ?"

" We already have a shipment coming in tomorrow. " Kristen said .

" PERFECT ! RITA I WANT EVERY CCTV FOOTAGE OF THIS BUILDING ! I'm done playing hide and seek with this putana . " he said walking out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

" I'll go after him . " Sr said getting up from his seat and following after his brother .

" You heard him, let's get going. " I said much calmly than my father and everyone scattered all over, leaving the room except for my mom who was still staring out in space. I walked over to her and pulled her into my chest, kissing the top of her head.

" We're going to get him Ma. " I said rubbing her back and she pulled back before looking at me with a wicked smirk on her face .

" Oh I know we will baby, trust me, I know ."

Anyway , Leonardo has been asleep for a long time , don't y'all think so ? I kind of miss him a little . 😩
