Nightfall

Chapter 1

Leonardo had just taken over the family business. His brother Lorenzo was his second in command whereas his two best friends were third and fourth.

Alessio had taken the place of third in command with Eduardo coming next. Alessio's dad used to be second in command and best friends with Leonardo's dad, while their mothers were also like sisters. Eduardo's fathers were third in command and head of the tech team so they were also very close with both of Leonardo's parents.

"Leonardo Sergey Ferrari kiss your mother goodbye right this instant."

His mom ordered him. His mom was a half Italian half Russian woman that managed to look extremely beautiful even after having three kids.

Leonardo leaned in and kissed his mom goodbye.

"Take care of Elisa."

Said his father while hugging his youngest and only daughter.

"Dad I am 19 for God's sake I don't need neither the boys nor you taking care of me."

His sister argued crossing her arms over her chest like a baby.

"Say goodbye to mom and go to your fucking room Elisa, I have work to do."

Said Leonardo which resulted in his mother slapping him.

"Talk to your sister like that again young man and await for the consequences. I might be old but I can still kick your ass."

His mother scolded him. Just then his brother came through the door, out of breath.

"Mom, dad, sorry I'm late this girl was so wild."

Said his brother but he quickly had the same fate as him, when a slap landed on his face too.

"Now listen good boys, you might both be 25 years old but remember what mama taught you. Respect girls or I will whoop your ass. Hurt your sister in any shape way or form and I will whoop your ass. Get shot and what will I do?"

Asked their mother.

"Whoop our asses."

Said the boys at the same time which caused their dad to laugh and their mother to smile happily.

"Now that we have that settled your mother and I have a flight to catch. Be careful boys, we both love you."

Said his father before they walked out the door.

His parents were famous amongst the underworld, his mom was a ruthless assassin until she met his dad, the devil himself, the boss of the Italian Mob. The whole family had the end of their wedding vows tattooed on their body.

Not even death can do us apart.

After his father retired they decided to leave America and continue their life in Italy. His parents were known to be a match made in hell, his mom even showed up in a bloodied wedding dress at their wedding.

However he was very proud to have such badass parents. After his parents left he went into his office to get some paperwork done until his brother and two best friends entered, all of them breathless.

"Elisa is crying and isn't letting any one of us in, do we a)break down the door or b)shoot it?"

Asked Alessio which earned him a glare from Leonardo. Elisa was the light into their dark world, even though she could be a handful with her anger issues and witty comments.

Many thought she would be spoiled which she is, due to her being the only girl in the family, but she never acts like a brat or even remotely close.

Leonardo scoffed and stood up, making his was to Elisa's bedroom. He knocked on the as he heard his sister crying.

"Elisa open the door."

He demanded using his authoritative voice.

"Leo?"

Her voice tumbling and heard like a whisper.

"Yes."

He answered as the door opened and Leonardo entered closing the door behind him. The two were always very close and Elisa usually confided in him more, because Lorenzo could never keep his anger in check.

"What happened princess? You were fine a while ago."

Leonardo said while wrapping his arms around her.

"This guy published some nudes and said they were mine. Leonardo lo giuro sulla mia vita, non gli ho mandato niente. (I swear on my life, I didn't send him anything.) "

She said as she let out another pained cry.

" I believe you sorella (sister), calm down me and the boys will handle him."

He said trying to control his anger. She nodded her head as he left her room, filled with fury.

*****************************

"You fucking slut."

Her father screamed as she took a step back, causing her to drop the glass that was on the table.

"Oh no wonder your mother killed herself with a piece of shit daughter like yourself."

He said again and went a step closer to her. She could smell the alcohol on his breath, which made her want to vomit.

His rough hands grabbed her chin and he leaned forward.

"Dad, stop."

She screamed trying to get away.

"You are such a little whore. Why don't you go work as a stripper you would make more money and you would be able to whore around like you already do."

He spat, a few tears were now forming in her eyes.

"You're also weak. No surprise here."

He said as his fist collided with her face. She was now on the floor, her father landing kick after kick on her already bruised stomach.

He picked her up and held her by her neck towards the wall. She was clawing his hands, struggling to breath. After some time he let her down.

"Go make some money bitch because I'm running out."

He said and made his way to the fridge grabbing another bottle of beer. She was on the floor taking deep breaths so she wouldn't pass out. She needed to get to work.

She got up and made her way to the bathroom. When she looked at herself she started crying, maybe she was weak and a slut as her father said.

Bruises were covering a large amount of her body and her hair was messed up.

"Come on Amelia, woman up. Go do the only thing you know how to do."

She told herself looking in the mirror. She tried to cover the bruises with concealer which only worked to an extent. She put her clothes on and made her way to the bar she was working at.
