ALESSANDRO'S POV

The sun was hitting my face while the air traveled through the car. We made it out of the house, taking the road of the location she left behind. We were all tired when we first woke up, each one of us got only three or four hours of sleep but thanks to Lydia she made us coffee. My house doesn't have workers or house servants since we were only three men living in this house and now Lydia so it wasn't necessary. However when I gather up my men for meetings or missions, the house would be filled with men and women everywhere. We didn't have a lot of women around to go on missions. Don't get me wrong, most of them are working with my father, he's trying to figure out a way to get to the Russians. He needed the best soldiers and as you guessed, almost all of them were women.

After breakfast and coffee, Emilion suggested to set a sniper on her in case anything happened which received nothing but Dante and I telling him to shut the fuck up.

We got dressed and got to the garage, taking Lydia with us. Someone had to stay with her, I needed somewhere safe so she won't escape or get kidnapped and someone I could trust that would keep her company. We dropped her off at my parents house, my mother will take good care of her. My father wasn't there which made her more relaxed.

We started the road. The location was far from my house, it was a four hours drive but it will be cut short since I took my Ferrari. The ride was silent for a the long time until Emilion wanted to play his favorite rap songs, I didn't bother much with music. I wasn't allowed to listen to any when I was young my father thought it would be a way of distraction, would be a way of having fun which for him was wrong.

Half way through the road, we stopped for gas, snacks and bathroom for Emilion. I swear to god he could be a ten years old, only if he wasn't tall.

I stood next to the car, putting gas in while Dante went into a small store and bought us food and Emilion just did his business in the gas station's bathroom. While I was waiting for both of them to come out, a car with two blond women parked next to my car. "bella macchina"[translate: nice car] said one of them along with a wink. Where are these fuckers.

I let my eyes travel around the place, searching for either one of the useless heads I brought with me. The two blondies kept staring at me when Dante finally showed up, I couldn't be any happier.

He walked towards my car, passing in front of theirs. "hai un amico"[translate: you got a friend] said the other yellow one.

I'm going to cut off Emilion's balls if he doesn't come out in one singular minute. I heard Dante giggle, I raised an eyebrow his way as he shrugged. Fine, will cut his too.

"I'M COMING" yelled Emilion running towards us, pulling his pants up. "Oooo" was all he said before I grabbed him by his shirt, dragging him to the back seat. Motherfucker was planning to introducing himself. I started the car again, and drove off.

Ten minutes left to reach the location. My mind started asking questions again but I shut it off, there's no time for this right now. "So what are we going to do exactly?" good, right when I said no time for questions. I sighed letting Dante take care of this one "We will just knock and if she hopefully answers, not deciding to kill us, will go in" Emilion clears his throat and open his mouth of last time, "And if she tries to kill us" he asks normally "She won't" I said, keeping my eyes on the road.

It was empty, no houses just Hyperions surrounding both sides. We couldn't find it on the GPS so we followed the directions on the paper, I can see now why it's not on the map.

Five minutes later, our heads shot up at the site of a huge house. What the actual fuck. I slowed down the car, getting closer slowly. We were all in shock, how could none of us spotted this house before. We arrived at a small highway, leading up to the gates. Right when I reached them, they opened.

We got a clear vision of the house, it was dark brown with large trees in the back and a chill out place in the front. It started getting cloudy so we had to get closer for a better vision. We got out of the car, walking on the grass. There were these beautiful gray and white rocks in front of the entrance. This house is breathtaking, it might not be the biggest but the design, the colors, everything blended perfectly together.

We kept walking until we reached the fireplace, surrounded by a three hundred and sixty degree couch with black/brown and gray pillows on top not forgetting the small plants on the side. She definitely knew what she was doing with this place.

I led the way to three wooden stairs, this house was half glass, the inside was pretty clear from the outside. I looked around, it was empty. Neither there were any door bells we could use. I don't know how it could get any more confusing than this, the only way in is to push the door open, but that was too risky. Remember the weird system Dante told me about, well that could get us all killed. I turned around looking at Dante and Emilion, neither of them knew what to do neither did I. I sighed, taking all force to open the glass door. Dante and Emilion were ready to walk in behind me but I lifted my left arm, stopping them. I wasn't going to risk their lives.

I can see Dante telling me, we should all stick together. I just can't risk letting anything happen to them. I walked in closing the door behind me, the house was way more gorgeous from the inside. The walls are a light shade of gray along with some paintings. The furniture are black and off white, the carpet matches the dark brown pillows on the couches. There was soft music playing in the background, it's hard to notice yet I somehow did. I kept walking until I saw long black stairs. I looked behind, searching for the door Dante and Emilion were standing in front of when I realized that I had walked a long distance. The door was almost gone in the distance. I had no idea whether I should take the stairs or not. I stood there, thinking for a couple seconds. What could possibly happen.

I reached the second floor, and holy fucking shit. There was a huge black and dark green living room with a glass wall in the back, on the right an open kitchen. I kept walking around, admiring this magical house. It's not like my house isn't huge or well designed but this was impressive and definitely one of the best houses I ever stepped a foot in. I reached the glass wall that shows the beauty and natural colors of the hyperions in the back. I stood there for a while, the view was worth taking a second to just stand there and admire the beauty of nature. My thoughts did their thing and started to take over.

Four years ago, I saw a woman for less then one minute and here I am in her house. The woman I have been searching for months, the one who keeps  me amazed every time I fail. It's hard to believe that every time we try to get closer to her and end up failing I keep discovering how talented this woman is. Of course I would get angry, but only because of the fact she is that good. That good to the point I can't reach her, as much as it made my mind blow up it still amazes me so much. I even was interested in how many houses she owns, under different names to make us confused and damn right she did. I was proud of the progress so far, although I might get killed in any second. I chuckled at my thought.

I focused back on the long trees. They were dark green that matched with the furniture behind me. The sky was cloudy, surrounding the hyperions with fog. I could see far behind a lake of water, maybe even an ocean. We didn't know what this place was, a forest maybe, that would explain the amount of plants and trees around this place. I kept staring at the view, watching the movement of the long dark green leaves as the sound of the wind relaxed my body.

"Beautiful right"

I turned my head to the voice, almost breaking it from the sudden move. And there she was again standing on my left side, staring out the glass. This time she looked different, she was wearing black leather pants with a beige shirt leaving the first two buttons undone along with a long black coat with some black half boots. She had both of her arms behind her back leaving a great view of her nails, one hand had white nails with black swirls the other one was black nails with white swirls along with a couple of silver rings. Her petrichor scent was just like I remembered it's musky, fresh and warm. My eyes took me back to her face, her dark pink full lips caught my eyes. She has beautiful cheekbones and a straight nose with a sharp jawline. Her thick, long brown curly hair was tied up in a bun. Her light hazel eyes were glowing, I swear to god they were shining.

I decided to finally stop staring, looking back at the view mumbling yeah. I took a second smiling, admiring the moment

"it really is"

We stood there for a long time, no words were needed. We both enjoyed this, the view and the silence. I noticed her sudden movement, she walked toward the stairs so I followed her in case she disappeared. I walked behind her, keeping enough distance. We reached the first floor, and she never stopped. I saw her heading to the main door. Dante and Emilion were standing there, watching her getting closer with each step. She stood in front of the door, grabbing the knob and twisting it open. She held the door open wide enough for both of them to get it. They both walked in, looking at me in relief I was alive.

The echo of the door shutting was loud enough to fill in the silence of the whole house. At this moment, we realized there was no going BACK.
