《Sarafina's POV》

"Don't pick it up" Was the first thing that came out of Diego's mouth.

"No, Pick it up" I say. 

Diego's head snapped to my direction "No" He shook his head

"Just pick it up" I tell Xavier glaring at Diego 

Diego was about to speak but Xavier had already answered and put it on speaker.

Diego stared at Xavier with pursed lips.

"You got away this time son but I'll make sure you will be dead" Xavier rolled his eyes at his fathers words.

"What are you going to do? Send the worlds best assassins' to kill me. You have failed to kill me the last 10 times and you know that whoever you send to kill me will probably fail" Xavier replies 

It was quiet from the other side of the phone.

"Let's see how long you can hide with that little girl of yours?" I scrunch my eyebrows and mouthed 'Little girl'

Little girl!? 

Really? Who the hell does he think he is calling little girl?

 The phone went dead silent form the other side. 

"Who the hell does he think he is calling little girl?" Diego chuckled before walking up to me and patting me in the head.

 "What? You're quite a small girl" I grit my teeth together and kneed him in the groin. His face morphed a pained expression and went down groaning.

"Yeah well this small girl can do a lot of things" I smirked at him. I turned to face Xavier who was looking at both of us with an amused eyes.

"So, what are we going to do about you 'father'?" I ask him

"Not we, Only me" He replies getting up

"Are you serious?"

"I'm dead serious" He answered

"What if he finds you?" I asked quickly

Why do I even care? It's none of my business anyway. What is wrong with me? He stared at me "He won't" He turned around and walked inside the elevator followed by a limping Diego. 

Somehow, I trust them with my secret.

"You're a cruel person" I smirked in response before the elevator door shut close. I sighed and checked the time and saw it was quarter to 3. I'm so dead.

I exited the hideout and headed towards my bike.

At about 5 minutes I found my self at the front door of my house and I quietly walked in. The house was silent. I walked to the kitchen and saw no one then I made my way to the living room.

I stopped and looked at the sight infront of me. I wanted to laugh but knew I couldn't instead got out my phone and took a picture of this.

Vito stirred slightly as his foot found Leonard's face who laying across him on the long couch. Lorenzo head was on top of Gavino's lap while his foot was on the floor. Weird position. I noticed that Antonio was nowhere near them and was instead in the single couch.

I shake my head and headed to my room passing by the room which had an piano. I stopped and looked at the room. One song wouldn't do any harm. I shrug and walked in.

My feet walked towards the piano. I sat at the stool and my hands found the keys and that's how I found my self singing the song Arcade from Duncan Laurence ft. Fletcher (Song above).

"A broken heart is all that's left

I'm still fixing all the cracks

Lost a couple of pieces when--"

My mind drifted to those mesmerizing blue eyes. I close my eyes and focused on the song.

"I carried it, carried it, carried it home

I'm afraid of all I am

My mind feels like a foreign land

Silence ringing inside my head

Please, carry me, carry me, carry me home

I've spent all of the love I saved

We were always a losing game

Small-town boy in a big arcade

I got addicted to a losing game

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

All I know, all I know

Loving you is a losing game

How many pennies in the slot?

Giving us up didn't take a lot

I saw the end 'fore it begun

Still I carried, I carried, I carried on

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

All I know, all I know

Loving you is a losing game

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

All I know, all I know

Loving you is a losing game I don't need your games, game over

Get me off this rollercoaster

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

All I know, all I know--"

I heard a clap interrupt me. My eyes snapped open only to find all my brothers. Yes, all of my brothers standing there and staring at me wide eyes. Vito was grinning.

"That was beautiful" Gavino complimented smiling at me. Followed by more compliments from the boys.

"Uh thanks" I say slipping out of my sit and I tried walking out. Keyword tried.

"Where do you think your going?" I heard Antonio's emotionless voice.

I faked yawn and stretched.

"I'm quite tired" I reply

He looked at me with the 'Really!?' look. 

I lick my lips and sigh.

"Look, I and Bri just wanted a night to ourselves. Only one night and look I'm perfectly fine besides I can take care of my self" Antonio's lips were pressed to a thin line 

"Can you really? Cause the blood stain in your dress says otherwise" He says

I gave him a confused look.

"Wha-?" I look down and he was right I did have a blood stain.

"Who's is it?" He asked coldly "Cause you look anything but hurt"

"I don't think it's any of your business"

"We were worried sick! Sarafina. If your out of my site for too long I get worried! I care about you. We all do!" Antonio yelled 

"Out of your site for too long!? So where were you in the 14 years of my life!? Tell me where were you when I needed my family the most!" I yelled back 

It was quiet and no one spoke.

"Sara," His voice was soft

"No! Antonio, This 14 of my life has been hell. Do you have any idea?" My voice got quieter in the end.

"No, I don't and trust me when I say that I regretted even agreeing to send you away"

"Then why did you?" He stayed silence 

I scoffed in anger before walking out and just when I was about push the door open I heard Antonio speak

"I'm sorry" It came out soft and filled with pure sadness 

I turn around and found the boys hanging there head low in shame not make eye contact. I shake my head and walk out and they didn't bother stopping me.

How do things end up going down hill every single time? I slammed the door to my room shut and walked to the window and pushed it open.

The blowing wind came through the second I opened it. I sucked in a breath and closed my eyes after a few minutes I decide to change into something comfortable.

After a while, I got out of the shower and changed to something comfortable and settled with a hoodie that I stole from Vito and sweatpants.

I headed to bed and I was about to slip into darkness when I heard my phone ring through the quiet room.

I sighed and rolled over and got my phone I checked the called ID and it was a unsaved number. I picked it up and waited for the person to speak.

"By the way, Your secret is safe with me" A deep familiar voice says

A smile formed on my lips unknowingly 

"Goodnight Xavier"

It was quiet before his gentle voice spoke

"Goodnight Sarafina"

I was woken by a knock and I stirred in my sleep before groaning and getting up ready to snap at the person. I opened my door expecting Vito who enjoys annoying me in the morning but was met with a housekeeper.

"Um good morning, Can I help you?" I ask politely 

"Good morning, Your brother sent me to inform you that breakfast is ready and he would like you to join them?" She says with a kind smile on her face.

"Oh, I'll be there" I reply returning her smile

She gave me a last smile before walking away.

I shut the room door and sighed.

I quickly got ready and wore my normal clothes. I walked out and headed to the dining room where we mostly have our meals together.

I entered the dinning and took out a chair ignoring the stares my brothers are giving. We silently ate out food before I heard someone clear their throat.

I looked up and saw Antonio look directly at me.

"We have a dinner to attend tomorrow night at around 7pm I want you to be ready" He informs me.

I nod in reply before getting up and walking out and I was thankful they didn't stop me.

I walked up to my room and got out my phone and saw a missed call from Brianna. I immediately called her and she picked it up in the second ring.

"You need to get to the hideout. Now" I heard her say and I didn't waste second and made my way there. 

I took my bike keys and walked down the stairs to the door

"Sarafina" Someone called out and I sighed.

"Not now Gavino" I say walking out not giving him a chance.

"What's wrong? Is everything okay?" I ask as I walk in Bri turned around 

"You have to see this" I walked to where she was and saw something play on the computer.

I leaned down and tilted my head focusing on the screen.

"James Smith was found dead this morning at around 7pm, Reports say that this was indeed a murder as they analyzed the situation-" I listened shock evident on my face

How is this possible? James Smith can't be dead.

"Damnit" My head snapped to Brianna 

"The flash disk. Where is it?" I ask

"I think Joshua has it." She replies 

"Did he find anything in it?"

"I don't know. Let me call him" She answers taking out her phone and walking away.

After a few minutes she came back 

"His on his way"

I nod in reply and after a while we hear the elevator door open and Joshua walks in.

"What's wrong?" He asks

"James Smith is what's wrong" I reply

He gave me a confused look

"He was found dead this morning" Brianna adds

His confused expression turned to a shocked one.

"Did you bring the flash disk?" I asked and he nodded in reply as he got it out. "Have you checked what's-?" He shakes his head before I could finish "I didn't get time to check"

"Well, I think it's the right time to check what's in their"

"On it" He says slipping into the chair 

We waited and finally hours later he go access inside the flash disk.

"Got it" He exclaims as his eyes roam around the computer screen while he typed some things but I noticed that he froze the moment his eyes found the screen. I gave him a curious look before leaning forward.

My eyes widened as it landed on the screen 

"What the fuck!?"
