I called on my men. Stefano had done so many awful things to me and my family. He took my wife captive five years ago, torturing her for answers. He says it was my fault for stealing his shipments but you don't hurt innocent woman.

Mind you my wife, Anastasya Sharapova, is no innocent woman. She was a notorious killer who would stop at nothing to protect the people she loved. And then there was me.

I won't tell you my name so soon, not yet. The only information I'll say is that I am the most feared man in Russia. I practically run the country with everyone falling to my feet.

So when someone messes with me I won't take it lightly. Stefano took my wife so I took his little twins. Ahh, Marina and Lorenzo. They were little babies at the time. I had Zach and Natasha take them to America for a few months until the Romano's found them and took them back to Italy. Just a year later I was blessed with the knowledge of their newborn, Valentina Romano.

I literally jumped to my feet because I had the perfect plan. I would steal their little child and keep her so hidden that they would never be able to find her. I immediately told Zach and Natasha their next mission before setting out to find the child.

One night, on October 18, I had one of my men hack the security cameras before I waited by the baby's window. I watched as Stefano put her in the bassinet and leave the room. I took this opportunity to pick up baby Valentina and hop out the window. On my private jet I flew back to Russia. Natasha and Zach made fake passports and they left the country that night.

I've checked up on them every week. I even visited them in America. I always have them on the move.

But then I figured out that Valentina learned that Natasha and Zach weren't her parents. I had them move to California and stay there for a month. After learning that she has run into her family (who I thought were in Italy) I had them set out for a new location, just to mess with the Romano's. It's like taking candy from a little baby.

They should be arriving in Russia if all goes to plan. We moved our headquarters recently and I'm just watching the clock now.

"Boss, they just arrived in New York," said my right hand man, Napoleon.

"Good. And the Romano's?"

"They used the tracker on girl's bracelet after Afonso released the lock. They should be heading there soon. We have the private jet getting ready to pick up Zach and Natasha."

"It's going smoother than I thought," I smiled.

Let's see if you can get your daughter now, Stefano.
