Kimberly nods and walks down the length of kitchen, running her fingers along the island in the middle. Her free hand strokes at her hard, little bump nestled under her dress. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JM6rSEl6m
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7eGld137d
Since moving to New York a few weeks ago, I haven't had a chance to really stay in touch with Kim too often since I was busy setting my new place up and starting my college courses. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy6mLUVQxe

When she had called last week to announce she was coming, I was over the freaking moon! Alessio had apparently planned a surprise visit behind my back and I couldn't be more grateful to have my bestfriend next to me again. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNgePz1C32

They have been inseparable since I the night I was shot. Mom and dad discussed his past and made a promise to one another to move forward. The word 'Kuznetsov' has been deemed a dirty word in their household.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqivYHAl96C

Anna finally married that hunky blonde guy, Alonzo, in July. Their wedding was insane and I got to visit Italy for the first time since she moved. I figured she would go all out anyways though to top any other Romano party in history.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9zCba9PbR

Giovanni and Beto are doing really good from what I've been told. Alessio appointed Giovanni second in command and Beto is the head of all shipment control. The boys had been super busy, especially Alessio.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkXtGARKWR

Since moving to New York a month ago, I have seen him maybe twice so far which is a huge change for both of us. The day Alessio proposed to me in the hospital room, we've been joined at the hip. Every day we'd go explore the city, take608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gBkADOmfz

We've kept the engagement a secret for now. I don't know exactly how my parents will feel about their 18-year old daughter being engaged to a mafia boss, but I'd rather save that for another day.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvztyxLDPXZ

608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic1RpRikMv
"Honestly, really good." I look around at my little place, everything mostly unpacked after a month of me dragging my feet. "I miss seeing everyone so much, but it has been really great here. School is a little much, but I'm doing good and the coffee shop I transferred to is an absolute blast."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7EqcW69iK
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyqSaIbZ3n
"Making me want to move to New York!" Kim laughs and moves to sit next to me. "So, how has everything been with Alessio? After...what happened, you guys seem to have been real attached to one another."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa15nqT0Eeb

"Yeah..." I trail off a bit and look out towards the balcony where the sun is setting quickly. "I want to tell you something, but you can't tell anyone!" I turn towards her.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT1ep3pdgS

608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo6ntmvtzF
She nods, a massive almost creepy grin contorting her pretty features. "Then don't even worry, bitch! He's a freaking god among mortals, marry that man."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0xx9jGd1I
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobeaIBWmEc
I laugh loudly and bump her shoulder," What would I do without you?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p6daA9LvM

Suddenly, there's a loud buzz coming from the coffee table across from the two of us. I reach over and pick it up.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFDkGXU3vI
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpMjLnUspU
New Message. 608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1vkhab8un
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUng5zUqC4U
I click it open and begin scanning the text that had come through from Alessio's phone. He must still be busy, he never texts me.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipHmCTPJva

"I have a surprise for you."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlM1nUcog2

608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUZgMLXs2m
"Duh! There's a pizza place I want you to try, plus some super cute clothing boutiques I know you'll die for." I tease and lead her out of my front door.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aLctMklTD
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSPip8NMBB
" I do have my dad's credit card." She waggles her brows.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8ZYAcJzCR

"Yeah, but I bought something for my parents too. I'm not that selfish!"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkCfxqsEGr
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00JwnsD4Kj
I just roll my eyes at her and step out onto the side walk with her close behind. There are cars everywhere, but from what I can see...none look like his.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ZqweIYDW
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwVlUPc2P6
And trust me, I can spot his car out immediately. Not to mention, the car he got me is now safely back home with him.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMlLb2rSTY

There was no way I was going to risk driving a freaking Lambo in this city.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57funGVT05

"No..."She trails off and cups her hands over her eyes like binoculars.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQH2IQ3bSU

"Let's check down there, I'll call him."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHFr85eZwL
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoE7l1cmNF
The two of us head down the sidewalk, slipping by the herd of people headed in the opposite direction. I pull my phone out and quickly dial his number.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgHTzXKkXf
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKrxV67Yfi
"What?" Kim asks and pulls me quickly against a wall near us so we aren't trampled. "He said outside in five, right?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMif49Rs2Kq
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCGQEMUHrk
"Yeah, but he's not answering. Let me call Beto."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG5ShWRZYm
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar8g1jLfOu
I put the phone up to my ear and listen to the shrill ringing as Beto's voice echoes a little too cheerfully from the other end.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vwjwybehm
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q3x5qArKh
"Ollliivvviiia! What's up? Long time no see, college chick."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTKTlJG3mx

"Uh...I haven't seen him, why?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN3BCJzmLJ
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd8oUIbmaR
"He just texted me," I frown and look around us again. "He told me to be outside my loft in five minutes, I have Kim with me."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaYyi7y9hQ

"Olivia, don't move." Beto demands.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDlifs4PYc

The urgency in his voice causes my body to turn cold. His tone hits me like a wave of sickness and I glance up at Kim's confused face.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsP8J6UEoQ
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphuzu3ugyG
"Everything okay?" She whispers.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFIkCcdBlq

I shrug just as a very familiar voice gets onto the phone.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmtLCBqjIv
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7wzs7ufT6
"Olivia? What's going on?" Alessio asks, sounding concerned.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6PCn7QcZW

I stare at Kim's face. "U-uh...are you not in New York?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1TbfrWHyT

"No, baby. I've been handling business all day. What's wrong?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMZfXUoE1G

Something is off. Way fucking off.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmDlZ5ZR4B

"Get inside your place. My phone is missing, I'll be there in half an hour. I have some men stationed in the city, they'll be alerted and on guard in no less than five." He says quickly. His voice serious, business-like. Absolutely no room for argument or sarcasm.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1ETX4Cd4k
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlGebbjRi4
I nod, mostly to myself. A massive lump forming in my throat as I start to pull the phone away from my ear a bit.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlJ0l2rXoi
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRlgm9WVDe
"Kim..." I whisper, staring at the picture of Alessio on my phone. The call still connected. "Alessio...says we need to go inside."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4tPRYEQRF
608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTT1tmOSMs
"What?" She says confused, looking around. "I thought he was here."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhRAPtFr8K

I look up at her, my eyes wide. "Kim...we need to go inside."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRePJLl8ko
