Beijing, China
After having a serious talk with Julia I left the office. I was still thinking about Padre (Father) and Carlos and Him.
Why now?
Why did he attack us after so many years?
Does he always have a motive behind every step which is destroying The Delfino family?
I was near our house when I saw there was a group of people gathered on the road.
"Looks like there has been an accident," My Mom said while trying to look out of the window.
"Yeah mom," I said while slowing down my car
As I was passing I saw the car and it looked familiar and soon I remembered that it was James car I Got out of the car and saw it was James lying on the road blood was oozing out of his head he was lying there lifeless I quickly ran towards him and sat down on the road and placed his head on my lap and applied pressure on the wound. Cupping his face in my hands I lightly tapped on his cheeks.
"James, hey wake up, somebody helps me get him out of the car," I said as my voice broke. I let the tears fall
"Mom call the Ambulance," I asked my mother while panicking.
"Yeah sure," She said with a concerned look on her face and called the ambulance.
James' lips started moving was trying to say something. As his voice was very weak I bent down and placed my ear near his lips to listen
"Rosaline go to Italy it is HIM," James said in a faint voice.
I gasped as I heard what he said I was shocked.
I never told him what his name was, how did he find out?
And why does he want me to go to Italy?
I had to find answers to my questions and my answers were only in Italy. When the Ambulance arrived he was already dead. I took my mother and went home to tell Jason about James but when I went home another disaster was waiting for me. My mother was confused, scared but she didn't say a word. I promised myself that I would tell her once we reach Italy.
JASON WU.
I took bath and got ready, I was going to meet my girlfriend's mom for the first time and I was so nervous. I brought gifts for her mother. After finishing my work I finally sat down on the sofa catching my breath. The sound of a bell ringing was heard in the house.
Assuming that they're here I went to open the door with a big smile on my face. Opening the door, my smile faded as I saw a group of men in black suits before I could say anything, one of the men punched me right in the face.
Shit.
That hurts.
Holding his collar in my left hand I punched him back. Now once not twice but kept on punching him. Once he fell on the ground unconscious I quickly ran towards my TV. Opening the drawer which was right below the TV, shuffling the stuff kept inside I was finding one particular thing.
A g*n.
Quickly taking out the g*n I pointed it towards the men standing there. They removed their guns too but I was fast enough to shoot them. I shot 2 men on their thighs and one on his forehead.
There was blood everywhere.
Soon I felt a sting behind my head with ringing sounds in my ears. My vision went black as I fall to the ground.
But before I could pass out I heard the man calling a guy.
“Boss the work here is done,” He said.

When I went home I saw that the door was open. I instantly knew something was wrong. I had a pocket knife. I took it while holding it in my hand. After seeing me holding a knife my mother got scared.
"What is the knife for?" She asked in a scary voice.
"Shush, keep quiet and pickup that plant," I told her
She picked up the plant. Holding it I can see her hands shaking. I hate myself for putting her in the mess. I started walking slowly into the house and saw there was a small puddle of blood. As I walked inside I saw Jason lying on the floor unconscious.
"Jason?" I shouted as I ran into the kitchen as I took a glass of water and I sprinkled some water on him to wake him up. He woke up holding his head.
"What happened here?" I asked Jason with a confused scared and angry face.
"I don't know if some guys came and started attacking me. I fought back and then someone hit my head and everything went black"
"Do you remember anything else? Like who sent them?
"Yeah before I passed out I heard them calling a guy, I think it's Him"
"Are you sure Jason it was him?" I asked him.
"Yes, I am but who is HIM? Oh no that HIM?" He asked being confused
"Yes that HIM..." I said as he gasped in shock.
"But he hasn't made a move in 4 years," James said with a confusing voice
"I know that's what I've been thinking, ok James I have to tell you something". I said.
I need to tell him about his brother. Playing with my fingers I collected all the courage I had.
"What is it?" He asked
"It's James..."I closed my eyes took a deep breath and continued "...he's been in an accident I saw it with my eyes"
"What?" he asked
"And umm did you tell him anything about my past?"
"No, why?"
"He said something be-f-ore h-e..." I said while my voice was cracking
Before he what? Mira?" Jason asked while slightly raising his voice
"Before he died," I said in one breath. After listening to it Jason broke down and started crying and after seeing him I also couldn't control myself and started crying. I ran towards him and hugged him.
"I'm sorry Jason, I am so sorry, I will avenge his death, and also Carlos and Albert were also attacked and I have to go to Italy.
I broke the hug and continued "Look Jason you don't have to come if you don't want to"
"I want to come I want to see him suffer after what he did to my brother"
"Can anyone tell me what's going on here?" My mom said in an angry but scared voice
"I'll tell you, everything mom, just wait for some time," I said.
*I took out my phone and called Julia*
Hello Julia my house was attacked and James was killed. Call the pilot we are taking my jet. We leave tonight"
"On it," She said.
"Guys pack your bags, we are going on vacation and it is going to be a long one.
