Reunited

Chapter 5

Leonardo's POV (The Father)

I couldn't lie; I was a bit troubled. Upset that I couldn't see Alessia and worried about her. I knew Alessio was right, but I still couldn't help to pace around in concern.

Just as I was about to choose the option of bursting into her room, my phone started ringing. I took it out and saw it was one of my heads of security. Why would he call me? Shouldn't he contact Lorenzo if anything is wrong?

As soon as I picked up, "Alejandro got shot during an ambush by the Russians!" he informed me very quickly.

I immediately understood why he contacted me. Lorenzo didn't know the Spanish mafia family as well as I did. The current dons father and mine were extremely close. The current don and I never really got close to each other, and we did have our occasional disagreements. Alejandro himself was sent here because of a deal made by the ex-dons. Santiago, the current Spanish mafia's don, wasn't keen on sending him here. You can see how Alejandro getting hurt under the Italian mafia's protection can be a problem.

I replied by asking how Alejandro is and did anybody else get hurt.

"No one else got hurt, and Alejandro is in surgery to remove the bullet right now. The bullet only hit his leg, and he was rushed to the medical wing quickly, so he will probably be okay, boss. Also, the Spanish Don was informed, and he says he's coming to check on his son in five days, " He reported.

It seems like Alejandro is finally meeting his family after four years. But that was not the matter now. I have to get to Italy and get prepared for the arrival of the Spanish mafia leaders.

After informing Lorenzo and Dante about our situation, Lorenzo went to the door with Alessia engraved and knocked. He asked whether we could come in, and Dante added that it was necessary.

Alessio opened the door for us, and once we came inside, I was about to ask Alessia whether she was okay, but before that, she spoke up, saying that any question we had would be discussed in her office.

____________________________________________________________________________

We are now situated in another darker and sleeker office. There are swords and guns showcased in glass on the walls. If Lorenzo and I had a dream office, this would be it.

Alessia is sitting in front of me, and Alessio is standing next to her. They are honestly more intimidating than all my children put together. It seems like the twins and my father will get along well.

Deciding that questions can be asked later and informing them that we are leaving soon is more critical, Lorenzo broke the silence, saying, "We were initially planning on going home tomorrow after lunch, but an emergency has come up in Italy."

"What's going to happen now?" Alessio questioned.

"Well, we were wondering if it would be okay if you guys came with us today night?" Dante spoke hesitantly.

"That's fine. We could ask someone to ship our clothes later," Alessio replied

Through this exchange, I noticed that Alessia had not talked at all. She is just sitting there observing us with a stone-cold face. Surprising how fast she has mastered the trademark Esposito face.

I was brought out of my thoughts by Lorenzo saying," There is a problem though..."

(I'm sorry for not updating sooner; my father had taken us to a literal jungle as a surprise trip. It was awesome seeing the animals, but there was, unfortunately, no wifi or signal. Also, sorry for the short chapter. I'll try to update sooner next time.)
