Mia's POV
"So how are you feeling? Anything hurts? Anything broken? You want anything to drink?" I felt I was rumbling, but that was because I cared about my brother.
Adam chuckles, only to be replaced by a heavy cough. "Other than you making my ears bleed, then nope," he teased, earning him a playful punch on his arm.
"Hey! Under your current situation, you still act like a jerk."
"Just my specialty." Handing the glass of water to him, I sat down on the chair next to his bed. "Any news about the attack today?"
I nod my head, telling him about the attack being the Vipers. "I let Allison go if you thought she was smart enough to escape me."
"Why would you do that. We needed her to get information. Once I'm out of this bed I'm going to stra—"
"Calm your tits bro," I say, rolling my eyes. "I have other way to make him speak, and that includes my lucky knife."
"Of course." Sarcasm laced through his words, earning him another punch on the arm. "Now get out. I need some sleep. Dad wants me fully recovered by tomorrow." He tries to shoo me out the infirmary room.
"It's not going to go away that fast dumbass. That might take weeks to fully heal. Whatever dad needs you to do something, I'll take over. It's not like I haven't done anything dangerous, right?" With that, I gave a quick kiss on the cheek, and left the room.
Walking through the hallway, I stroll to the kitchen, grabbing another handful of brownies. What? You can't have enough brownies in your life.
Flopping on the couch, I flip the tv on, turning on Netflix. Finally getting comfortable, I mentally groaned once hearing a throat clear.
"How may I help you Ray?" Ray was a personal guard and a dear friend of my fathers. He's the only guard I can tolerate in this house, and that's saying something.
"Your father wish to see you in his office Miss," he informs me.
"Stop with the formality Ray. But thank you," I politely smiled at him, walking up to my fathers office. "Say hi for Maria for me!" Maria was Ray's wife. They have 2 kids, Eve and Benjamin, who by the way are the cutest babies ever.
Entering my dads office, I see him sat on his chair, his phone against his ear while he writes something in a pile of paper.
"Tell those idiots to get me my money, before I rip their fucking heads off!" How lovely. My dad sense my presence, cursing through the phone before setting down his phone. "Ah, Mia. Glad you could join me. I need to discuss something with you and your brother."
"If you need him to complete some mission, count him out." You must think I'm crazy ordering him around, but Adam can barely sit up, so how the hell is he going to complete a mission, when on the floor, passed out.
"It's not a mission, Mia. It's actually a party and I want you two to attend tomorrow night. It's hose by my dear friend, Alexandro." Oh. I remember that name. They were the second largest Italian Mafia. My family and their family were very close, and were the only Mafia that doesn't want to kill us. Surprise
I had only met Alexandro once, but never got the chance to meet his family.
"Any special occasion?"
"Not that I know of."
"I'll tell Adam. Anything else," I asked, ready to to leave.
"I have an important matter to discuss with you, but that can wait." Okay...
I have a big problem...
I don't have anything to wear! I have hundred of dresses in my closet, but none of them was fit to wear for tomorrow. A very person I know seems the right person to help me in these kind of situations.
Pick up. Pick up.
"I'll pick you up in 10."
She was about to protest, but I cut her off. Nobody knows that choosing the right outfit was very important to me, because I love the feeling of it on my body, the different materials and the colour.
Quickly rushing to change out of my comfy clothes, I throw some pair of ripped jeans and a white tube top. This is probably the most boring style I could of worn in my life. Since I'm in a rush, there's not much I could do.
Time to pick out my dress.

Standing infront of Leia's house, I glared at Ray, annoyed that I couldn't at least go out with Leia without having any guards with me.
The door opened revealing Sophia, Leia's mum. She had short, dirty blonde hair with a few strands that were dyed brown. She was a few meters taller than me. Despite being in her forties, she still looked beautiful.
Her smile widens seeing who was at her door. "Mia, dear." She waste no time engulfing into a tight hug, since it had been ages since I last visited them. "You look lovely sweetie," she compliments me, admiring my face.
"Thank you Sophia. It's good to see you again."
"Hello Ray. It seems that Mia hasn't made you run for the hills yet," she jokes, giving him a warm smile, which he returns.
"It's good to see you again Sophia."
"You must stay. I have not seen you in ages." I wanted to tell her I wanted to, but there's always some time in the future.
"I would love to, but I need to kidnap Leia for tonight. I need some serious fashion teacher."
"If I were to give you a piece of advice," she starts. "Don't worry about trying to impress anyone, but yourself. I promise you that you will look amazing in anything you wear."
I met her with another hug, telling her how much I appreciate her words. Leia's parents work for my dad, until then they were a second family of mine.
"Leia! Mia's here!"
As if magic, she appears out of nowhere, a massive grin on he face. Oh god. Sometimes a grin on her face can be a good surprise or a bad surprise, which always turns out bad.
"I'll be back later mum." She kisses her mum on the cheek, before wrapping her arms with my own.
"Be careful girls." She has always been worried about both of our safety, but mostly Leia, because sometimes her mind goes in an another world. "Any scratch visible, I will ground you young lady," Sophia threatens. Both of us giggle at her threat.
"Don't worry mumsie!"
Hearing Leia called her mum, mumsie tells me that's going to be the opposite that she's told.
"Let's hit the road!"
