Kimberly nods and walks down the length of kitchen, running her fingers along the island in the middle. Her free hand strokes at her hard, little bump nestled under her dress. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4oe00P93I

Since moving to New York a few weeks ago, I haven't had a chance to really stay in touch with Kim too often since I was busy setting my new place up and starting my college courses. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDhGEHFt8L

When she had called last week to announce she was coming, I was over the freaking moon! Alessio had apparently planned a surprise visit behind my back and I couldn't be more grateful to have my bestfriend next to me again. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF2f4ZYS9K

They have been inseparable since I the night I was shot. Mom and dad discussed his past and made a promise to one another to move forward. The word 'Kuznetsov' has been deemed a dirty word in their household.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtawoqGHvsW

Anna finally married that hunky blonde guy, Alonzo, in July. Their wedding was insane and I got to visit Italy for the first time since she moved. I figured she would go all out anyways though to top any other Romano party in history.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pzY98Iug1

Giovanni and Beto are doing really good from what I've been told. Alessio appointed Giovanni second in command and Beto is the head of all shipment control. The boys had been super busy, especially Alessio.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntgSFXhYcl

Since moving to New York a month ago, I have seen him maybe twice so far which is a huge change for both of us. The day Alessio proposed to me in the hospital room, we've been joined at the hip. Every day we'd go explore the city, take639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CTHqjZgs3

We've kept the engagement a secret for now. I don't know exactly how my parents will feel about their 18-year old daughter being engaged to a mafia boss, but I'd rather save that for another day.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42UJEdo1pQ

"Honestly, really good." I look around at my little place, everything mostly unpacked after a month of me dragging my feet. "I miss seeing everyone so much, but it has been really great here. School is a little much, but I'm doing good and the coffee shop I transferred to is an absolute blast."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDDhrUYcIT
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJoAULEMaH
"Making me want to move to New York!" Kim laughs and moves to sit next to me. "So, how has everything been with Alessio? After...what happened, you guys seem to have been real attached to one another."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaGA6SUymh

"Yeah..." I trail off a bit and look out towards the balcony where the sun is setting quickly. "I want to tell you something, but you can't tell anyone!" I turn towards her.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kJiM88Gd8

"Are you sure? You guys have so much time for weddings. He's filthy freaking rich, why don't you go travel during the summers and bang in other countries?" She laughs, shaking her head.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2tGQG8x1O

639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3BeiLsH3z
She nods, a massive almost creepy grin contorting her pretty features. "Then don't even worry, bitch! He's a freaking god among mortals, marry that man."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzPlNEIOg2
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzSMR28iCQ

Suddenly, there's a loud buzz coming from the coffee table across from the two of us. I reach over and pick it up.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJYJkmv1dz

New Message. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXET37F6AFw
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxln8xY92C
I click it open and begin scanning the text that had come through from Alessio's phone. He must still be busy, he never texts me.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIi0SNTQIH

"I have a surprise for you."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhTBJXA8oG

639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXK30rFgBM
"Duh! There's a pizza place I want you to try, plus some super cute clothing boutiques I know you'll die for." I tease and lead her out of my front door.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgzhvVJmht

" I do have my dad's credit card." She waggles her brows.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ubCwCYJ2

"Listen...I needed those clothes."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiZz0OURj4

"Yeah, but I bought something for my parents too. I'm not that selfish!"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBy1afhODO
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7zLrfe8Ni
I just roll my eyes at her and step out onto the side walk with her close behind. There are cars everywhere, but from what I can see...none look like his.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZx8IwdjBW
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYY9VnDLKS
And trust me, I can spot his car out immediately. Not to mention, the car he got me is now safely back home with him.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oQ6Qv0lQj

"Let's check down there, I'll call him."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLF4XI2bRn
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgzDt7eC4T
The two of us head down the sidewalk, slipping by the herd of people headed in the opposite direction. I pull my phone out and quickly dial his number.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxnpYDpZ5f
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlWHhfF3I1
"What?" Kim asks and pulls me quickly against a wall near us so we aren't trampled. "He said outside in five, right?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNftpw1AOr
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdvcjR8M3B
"Yeah, but he's not answering. Let me call Beto."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7ZQ6NuvEc
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfo5J4bQnI
I put the phone up to my ear and listen to the shrill ringing as Beto's voice echoes a little too cheerfully from the other end.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiZnnz5Yiu
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKtVRZAO5N
"Ollliivvviiia! What's up? Long time no see, college chick."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIojiJ5xHR

"Uh...I haven't seen him, why?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsoefOwQCs
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMnZQgE80S

"Olivia, don't move." Beto demands.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC3hcqBhUY

The urgency in his voice causes my body to turn cold. His tone hits me like a wave of sickness and I glance up at Kim's confused face.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S7WkWtfDf
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETYsLApTmM
"Everything okay?" She whispers.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm6dus1yqW

"Olivia? What's going on?" Alessio asks, sounding concerned.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAnvNyCqLJ

639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYrt04JAHg
"Get inside your place. My phone is missing, I'll be there in half an hour. I have some men stationed in the city, they'll be alerted and on guard in no less than five." He says quickly. His voice serious, business-like. Absolutely no room for argument or sarcasm.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkIJcTeVl8
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7yzxrpgmg
I nod, mostly to myself. A massive lump forming in my throat as I start to pull the phone away from my ear a bit.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pguidfXqz
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6RJQxPdtM
"Kim..." I whisper, staring at the picture of Alessio on my phone. The call still connected. "Alessio...says we need to go inside."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ475zKM4Xu9
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7lidF6wke
"What?" She says confused, looking around. "I thought he was here."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WKUqo4PNy

I look up at her, my eyes wide. "Kim...we need to go inside."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8CKifMaLS

She just looks at me blankly, but there's no time left.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTh1VC0ZuJ
