Chapter 1

                                    

                                          
"So when your dad said that you and Gio get his legacy, what exactly did he mean?" My best friend/brothers girlfriend Vienna asked me. We are currently outside on my balcony, she's pacing around biting her nails while I and sitting in a chair with my elbows on my knees and my heads in my hair smoking a much needed cigarette. 
                          
"He means we get everything V! Every weapon, every drug we sell, every person that worked for him works for me and Gio now." I say back to her and take another puff of my cigarette. 
                          
"What are you gonna go Giana? You can't be a Mafia leader!" She exclaimed. 
                          
"I know that V." I said calmly.
                          
"How are you so calm about this,  I'm freaking out!" I take another cigarette out of my pack and hand it to her.
                          
"Here, you need this." She snatches it out of my hand and lights it up. 
                          
"What about Mari and Mills?" She asks. Mariana and Amelia are my younger sisters. Not much younger Mari is 17 and Milly is 16. I've been watching over them sense my mom died when me and Gio were 12 and dad was "to busy" to take care of them. 
                          
"I'll figure something out V,  I won't let them be apart of this." I say to her while I start biting my nails nervously. I honestly have no idea what to do. I can't stay here but I can't leave them here either. 
                          
"I want to leave. I want to go back to New York know that my dads gone. I don't want to be apart of this anymore." I say looking up at my best friend. She gives me a sympathetic grimace. I turn away from her and take another couple puffs of my cancer stick. All the sudden Vianna gasps loudly. 
                          
"You should take them with you to New York! Live in your parents old house, sign them and you up for school and get the fuck outta here! It's perfect!" She says excitingly. 
                          
"Ya perfect, except for the part where my brother will never let us leave. He doesn't want to do this alone,  he'll drag all of us into it." I say back in a bit of an attitude towards my brother. 
                          
"We'll go talk to him together! He has to understand GiGi! Besides I'll use my womanly charm on him." She says while winking at me. 
                          
"Ew gross I don't want to hear about that shit!" I make a disgusted face at her while she just laughs at me. She enjoys grossing me out. Bitch. 
                          
"But for real we should go talk to him." She says after a while of calming down her laughter. 
                          
"Alright just let me finish my cigarette." I say. I'm gonna need it if I have to deal with my brother. 
                          
As we make out way to my dad's, well now my brothers,  office we run into Pauly and Nico two of my brothers best friends. 
                          
"Hey G hey V. What's up?" Pauly greats us.
                          
"Nothing much just headed to see my douche bag brother. You seen him?" 
                          
"Ya he's in the office. But he's not in a very good mood I wouldn't go talk to him right now." He warns and I scoff at him.
                          
"I can handle my brother Pauly. You know what I'm capable of." I saw winking at him. He blushes at the sight of my wink and looks at the floor. I smirk, he's always had a thing for me. 
                          
"I think we all know what you're capable of Gi." Nico finally speaks up. I look over to him. They are both very attractive guys but ever since Luca I haven't dated anyone else. "You're scary as hell." Nico says. I just laugh.
                          
"Ya ya whatever. We'll see you guys later,  for now we have to go talk to Satan." I say giving them a salute. 
                          
We finally reach my brother office and my palms are sweating. I'm very nervous especially because he's in a bad mood. I push the door open without knocking because um I'm me. Que hair flip. 
                          
"Hey Gio, we need to talk to you real quick." I say lightly. 
                          
"About what guys I'm busy." He says snapping at me. 
                          
"Fine fine. I'll make this quick." I take a deep breath. Here goes nothing. 
"I want to take the girls to New York to live in the old house and go to school." I say really fast in one breath. He stills from writing whatever it was he was writing. 
                          
"What did you say?" He glares at me. 
                          
"I want to take the girls away G. They don't need to be apart of this and I don't want to be either." He slowly stands up from his seat still glaring at me as he starts to walk towards me I start to somewhat panic. 
                          
"You want to leave me and take the girls. You guys are the only family I have left! I don't want to run this alone Giana!" He screams. 
                          
"Babe I understand that but G has never wanted this you know that." Vianna comes to my aid and trys to talk calmly to him.
                          
"No! You can't leave and take the girls! I won't allow it!" He yells again. He's starting to give me a headache with all his damn yelling.
                          
"Giovanni you can't tell me want to do. I was coming here to tell you of my plans, I don't need your permission. I'm going whether you like it or not." I say while crossing my arms glaring at him fiercely. I won't back down,  he can't tell me what to do. I don't see his hand coming towards me until it's to late and he slaps me across the cheek. 
                          
I'm in shock as I bring my hand up to the cheek he slapped. He has never once laid a hand on me ever. I hear Vianna gasp and start to scream at my brother.
                          
"Giovonnie! How could you do that! What the fuck!" 
                          
I look up at my brother finally and see his shocked face as well. Rage starts to build inside me and my fist clinch. I start to see red and my jaw is tight. Everyone could see what was about to happen,  I have a bit of a temper problem some would say. No one is shocked when I raise my fist up and smash it across my brothers jaw succeeding to knock his ass out. I have a very strong punch. I've been training all my life to fight,  shoot, race, and how to get rid of a dead body. Don't ask. So knocking my brother out has happened before but not because he made me mad until now. 
                          
"When he wakes up we will be gone and tell him he is dead to me. I'm done." I said to Vianna and Pauly because they are the only ones here to witness this. I look down at my brother one last time, then I turn on my heal and walk away. I hope to God he's smart enough not to follow us to New York.
