3RD POV
"They kidnapped my brothers and were trying to kill them. But I bet you already know about this, right?." She said.
There was pin drop silence, everyone looked at her with mixed emotions, some were shocked, angered, and other emotions.
Camille and Mia cried so hard.
"You're joking, right? There is no way you could kill them. You don't even know how to fight. Unless Asher was the one who killed them, " Alonzo said.
"Listen, man, I don't want to fight with you, but please, could you tell us where our uncles are?" Alonzo asked Asher. You could see the anger in him, he just didn't want to start a fight with Asher cause he knew he would lose, He knew who Asher was, in fact, they all knew that they won't stand a chance against him even when they fought together.
"Like she said, they are dead, but I could give you their dead bodies if you want," he said.
"Yes, please," Matteo said.
"Nate, see to it that those bodies come to the Rossi mansion by tomorrow," he said
"Yes, boss," Nate said.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic shall we,"  Alissa said and walked towards where Matteo was.
"You know what they were trying to do, right?" she asked, and Matteo nodded.
"I'm leaving you alive because I know you weren't involved in any of this." she continued.
"You really killed them?" Matteo asked.
"Yes, I did," 
"You," Elina, who has been silently crying, said in hatred. Glaring at Alissa.
Elina stepped forward. Her piercing eyes burned with fury, the rage of a widow seeking vengeance. Alissa barely moved, her hands at her sides, watching the woman with a calm detachment that only infuriated her further.
"You took my husband from me!" Elina hissed, her voice shaking with a mix of grief and anger. In one fluid motion, she drew a long blade from beneath her coat, its steel glinting in the dim light. "I won't spare you,"
Alissa tilted her head, her lips curling into a smirk. "Look, Elina, since you were so good to us, I will give you a chance to reconsider your decision. Don't do anything rush cause I'm afraid I won't be able to hold myself, " she said in her calm, emotionless voice.
Elina lunged, her movements swift and deadly, aiming the blade straight for Alissa's chest. But Alissa was faster. She sidestepped with the grace of a dancer, catching Elina's wrist mid-strike. With a sharp twist, the blade clattered to the ground.
Before Elina could react, Alissa delivered a precise palm strike to her chest, knocking the air out of her lungs. Elina staggered back, gasping for breath, but Alissa didn't give her a chance to recover. She pivoted and delivered a clean roundhouse kick to her temple. Elina collapsed to the floor, unconscious, her vendetta extinguished in two moves.
Alissa crouched beside the fallen woman, brushing a stray strand of hair from her own face. "I gave you a chance to reconsider, but you didn't."
 "Step away from her, now." Alissa stood, adjusting her jacket
She turned to see two young men coming towards her. Lorenzo stood at the forefront, his face twisted in fury, while his cousin brother, Antonio, followed close behind, gripping a steel pipe. Both men radiated the same unrelenting anger, their presence almost filling the room with tension.
"Ah," Alissa said, her voice steady. "Lorenzo and Antonio, I'm really not here to fight."
"Hayley, could you please take the girls upstairs, please? Charlotte, go with them, " Matteo said. Hayley took Camille and Mia and went upstairs, followed by Charlotte.
Lorenzo sneered, raising a pistol and pointing it directly at her. "You've gone too far this time, Alissa. You killed my father and my uncles, now you've hurt my mother, you'll pay."
Antonio, gripping the pipe tighter, stepped forward. "You might've taken down our mom. It won't be the same for us. This ends here."
Alissa smirked, her posture relaxed despite the obvious threat. "If you think you're any different, you're welcome to prove it."
Lorenzo fired without hesitation, but Alissa was already moving. The bullet whizzed past her shoulder, embedding in the wall. She closed the distance in an instant, twisting Lorenzo's wrist and forcing him to drop the gun. Before he could react, she delivered a sharp elbow to his jaw, sending him stumbling backward.
Antonio charged, swinging the pipe with all his strength. Alissa ducked under the first swing, grabbed his arm mid-swing on the second, and twisted it, forcing him to drop the weapon. She followed with a powerful knee to his stomach, and he doubled over with a groan.
Lorenzo recovered enough to throw a punch, but Alissa sidestepped and caught his arm, flipping him over her shoulder and slamming him onto the ground. The air rushed out of his lungs as he hit the floor. Antonio tried to rally, but Alissa met him with a spinning kick to the chest, sending him sprawling into a stack of crates.
Both brothers lay groaning on the ground, battered and defeated. Alissa stood tall over them, not a hair out of place, her breathing steady. She looked down, her sharp gaze darting between the two.
"I really didn't want to fight," she said, her voice cold. "Your uncles or fathers, whatever it is, kidnapped my brothers, and I didn't like it at all." she said.
"Who are you?" Matteo asked her. He was scared of the cold aura that was coming from her, it was so intense and dangerous, similar to one person everyone knows, and that person was non other than Alexandro, the Italian mafia leader.
" We will get to the questions later Matteo, for now I want you to know that I will be leaving and I want you to take care of my brothers. They should have no scratch at all. Otherwise, I will show you what exactly I'm capable of doing, and I bet you wouldn't want that, right?" her voice was so calm and slow, but it was loud and clear.
"Wait, what? Are you leaving?" Aries finally came back to his senses. He walked towards her but stopped as if remembering something.
"Yes, I'm leaving, and I want you guys to take care of each other once I'm gone. Don't go seeking trouble, Ari. You must grow. I also want you guys to start training a lot. Their training will be left to you, Uncle Matteo. Don't disappoint me, " Alissa said.
"Yes, I won't. Could you tell me who you are now?" The moment Matteo said that the door bell rang. 
A maid opened the door and came the devil himself.
Alexandro De Leon. The most feared person in the world and the leader of the Italian mafia. The moment he came inside the house, the room's temperature dropped. His power was so intense that everyone inside couldn't help but drop to their knees except for two people, Alissa and Asher.
