Her POV...
1 week later......
I inhaled the salty air of Sicily as I reached here. It was a lethargic journey.
As first I landed at LA and stayed there for a day then I took a flight to Sicily. My brother thinks I am in LA. Actually, I don't feel good deceiving him but once a lying is not a lie I guess.
I waved my hands as I saw Becca and her mate came to received me on the airport. I leaped on her arms and hugged her tightly.
"Congratulations my lovely," I said loudly. She reciprocate my acts.
I shook hands with her boyfriend. We reached to the hotel. It was all surrounded by blue water, white sands, historic buildings, pools and what a oceanic view. Sicily was much more beautiful than its appears in pictures.
I laid down on the bed as I reached to my room "PARADISE" I uttered before closing my eyes.
The wedding ceremony and reception ended in a blink of an eye. Alas ! I couldn't believe my stay in Sicily has reached it ends.
I am having my flight to LA so I was packing my luggage. I came with only one bag but was going with three bags. I couldn't believe with the amount of shopping I did.
I sighed and exist the huge five star hotel. I booked a taxi for me online. I sat on the taxi and asked the driver to ride down till airport.
The route was quite thrilling here. It was in zig zag pattern with long tunnels which make it too much adventurous. I was mesmerized by the view through the window when I saw a huge black truck chasing up.
It deliberately swing and cut our route causing the driver to lose its balance and paddle on the break. As the result, the driver bang the car at the huge rock. My vision became blurry as it collides with a huge thrust jerking my body with so much force.
I saw pool of blood around me. I slowly touched my head with the trembling fingers. My eyes enlarged to see the red blood coming out of my skull. My head was aching like a s**t.
I heard the door of the car opening. I saw a huge man in his black suit carrying me out of the car. My vision was foggy. The stars were visible. I couldn't recognized him due to my blur vision.
My mouth was parted as I saw the dragon tattoo in his neck. I tried speaking but words weren't coming out of my mouth. Everything got blank . My vision was darker now. I black out and lost all my consciousness.

His POV..
I twist and turned on my bed. My whole body was sweating hard. My brows furrowed forming lines on my forehead. This was happening again. I tried to wake up but I couldn't awake my senses. I heard my elder brother Marcus's voice "Mag..you need to wake up ...The sun is already at the middle of the sky," he said sweetly. My closed eyes were wet with the tears. I miss him !
I gasped and opened my mouth. I was breathing heavily with my parted mouth. I almost felt choked. My lungs feels heavy. The nightmare keeps haunting me in my dreams. My tears reflecting the pain I experienced on his demise.
He says "Man never cries". He was so strong, brave and a courageous ruler. I couldn't forget the day when I heard of his demise. It was a year ago, when the land shifted down my feet. I will never forget how ruthlessly they killed him.They embedded hundreds of bullets down his body.
Since that day I have only one motto in my life. That is to take avenge for my brother's death. I won't relax unless I kill that bastard Vladimir Aslanov.
My heart was burning in fire.The fire for revenge, the fire for his killer's blood in my hands. I took my brother's throne after his death as the Italian mafia ruler Magus de Lorenzo.
I was overworking myself in the gym. I need to be physically fit and agile to fulfill my purpose as the leader. My body was sweating as I ran on the treadmill.
I was thinking about today's nightmare when my one of the loyal servant entered into the room holding my phone " BOSS ! There is an important call from Jacob" he said. Jacob was my bestfriend and second in command. Since my brother's death he stayed with me in all our misery. He took the title and joined our people.
I was respiring heavily due to all the running " yes Jacob," I said on the call. He sounds very much in hurry " Magnus.. I have a good news ...that bastard Vladimir's sister is here to attend a wedding...and now she is rushing to airport ...we need to take immediate action " he said. I clenched my fist as I heard that bastard's name.
The opportunity for which I was searching was here finally. His one slight mistake is all I wanted to destroy him. How foolish of him to send his sister to Sicily. I need to show that Russian man how it's feel to hurt family. I gritted my teeth "send the black truck with people ... we need to captivate her, " I ordered. I can hear Jacob laughing on the phone " Yes BOSS! " he said. I smirked.
