"When do you think she will be home?" asked a very anxious Angelo

"I don't know, all we can do is wait," said Alexander

Right now, all of the Moretti family were anxiously waiting in the living room waiting for their princess to be home

It doesn't feel like a birthday

It is like a depressed day

They have been waiting for about eight hours

From when the clock struck twelve the whole Moretti mansion was quiet

Waiting in the living room

Then there was a knock and all eyes were on Massimo as he walked towards the door and opened it only to see a duffel bag at the door

Callum was quick to follow and slowly opened the bag only to smell blood

Their heart dropped expecting the worst

Then when the bag was fully open

There she was

She was lying in a pool of her blood, her face covered with hair, her hands tied tightly in front of her by a jute rope that cut into her wrist harshly, same with her legs

All the brothers had tears running down their faces seeing her sister like this as her mother collapsed at the sight of her daughter's body

Massimo quickly gave Evangeline to Angelo who was right beside him and went to his wife

"I will call Lily over, she can help Eva fresh up" Alexander spoke as he called his friend others nodded and agreed

And Lily was there in less than three minutes

Getting down from her motorbike at record speed and opening the house door with a loud bang

"I came as fast as I could, where is she?" she panted out

"In her room, can you help her take a bath" asked Alexander as she nodded and showed her the way

"So, I will clean her up and no one, I mean no one is allowed in except your mom," she says in a bossy tone as she shuts the door in their face while all they do is wander in the corridor with distress written all over their face

With their sister and mom unconscious they were terribly stressed

After a few minutes their dad was out of his room and all the boys rushed towards him asking about their mom

"How is mom?" asked all the boys at one

"She is fine, she was shocked, she will be up any moment now" he replied making the boys sigh

"How about Eva?" he asked his sons

"We don't know, Lily is with her," Alexander said

LILY POV

I was in my room ignoring my mom and dad screaming at the top of their lungs but it was not possible as they just had to be so loud

Loud enough to reach my ears even when my room was shut close

Thank god Evan is not home right now, my 3-year cute little brother

As I am enjoying hearing them screaming profanities at each other while munching on my chocolate I get a call

I look around my room to see my phone on the bed

But being the lazy person, I am I decided to ignore it as nothing comes first then my food

But my phone rings again making me huff and I move myself in a very weird position and stretching my arms to their limit I reach for the phone which is on the bed without getting out of my chair

But I slip and fall

Ouch

Son of a bitch

That hurt

I look at my phone to see my crush calling me

I take a deep breath before picking up the call

"Hello" I say

"Lily, are you free?" he asks and my heart skips a beat

"yes" I reply

"Can you come over, my sister is home and we need a girl here," he said and my smile drops

"Your WHAT? I THOUGHT SHE WAS MISSING?" I shout

"yeah, she is home and I need you," he says

Damn his voice was so deep

Wait

Snap out of it Lily

"I will be there in five minutes," I say as I wear an appropriate outfit and leave my room

"MOM, DAD, I AM HEADING OUT" I shout before grabbing my helmet and getting on my bike

Damn I love this bike

It was because of this I met my mafia crush

My years of spending in the underworld as an assassin finally paid off by meeting that handsome face

As soon as I am on my bike I speed it to its limit

As soon as I am at his mansion I bang the door open and ask for his sister

And that leads me here with his sister on her bed

I lift her and make my way towards her bathroom

As I fill the tub I take shampoo conditioner and body wash ready

Slowly I start to undress her and as I do I see the scars present on her body along with the tattoo of 'the lotus'

Wait

Hold the fuck up

Boss did say we are going to have a new boss from today who has the tattoo on her back

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!

She is tortured brutally, and there is no place on her skin that is not injured and that proves the training of our organization

To think I will be bathing my boss

Whatever all I care about right now is to clean the wounds and make her comfortable

After gently placing her in the warm water I take a scrub and start to scrub her gently so as not to open any healed wounds

Then I take a wet cloth and gently wipe her face as I start to wipe her face I gasp at the amount of make-up that came off

I go out of the bathroom and search the room to finally find a makeup remover

I put it on her slowly and as the makeup on her face comes off, I gasp looking at her face

Deep and permanent

A huge scar

On her lower face

I feel tears running down my face looking at this

How

How can they do this to her

I slowly finish cleaning her before getting her dressed

I bandage all her wounds on her back and legs

After I was done I put her into one of the pj's and carried her to bed

As soon as I got ready to leave she opened her eyes

I was about to call for people outside when she stopped me

"don't call them" she whispered

"why?" I asked if she needed them and if they needed her

"foundation and concealer, get them to me, I need to cover these scars on my face," she says sitting up

"lay down, you are injured badly," I say trying to make her lay but she refuses

"I've had worse, don't worry, can you get me those?" she asks and I nod taking the foundation and concealer out of her table and helping her cover it up

"So, you are the new leader of the lotus?" I ask as I start to cover up

"How did you find out?" she asks I can hear the wariness in her voice

"Relax, I also work for the organization" I say and she immediately points her knife to my throat

What the...

Where did she even get it from?

Who sent you?" she asks her voice scary as fuck

"no one, I am here on my own, I work under lax," I say

"lax Thompson?" she asks and I nod

"ok," she says taking her knife away from my throat

"since when and how did you join under lax?" she asks

"ohh, I was walking home at night and I found lax injured, so I helped him, he offered me a job with high pay and I accepted, never in a million years did I think that I would be involved in the underground and that to the top assassin organizations," I say remembering the memory of me stumbling on injured lax

"you are lucky to join under him, he is one of the only few human trainers left in the lotus," she says and I nod

I've seen the training of other trainers and it was bad to another level

"Yeah" I agree

"so, what are you doing in my house?" she asks

"I am Alexzander's friend, he asked me to come over and help you" I replied

"Does he know about you?" she asks and I shrug

"he knows I am an assassin," I say

"When are you planning to confess?"

"When that idiot really... huh, no I mean, no I was, Uhh" I stutter and look at her smile lightly

"your scars are covered, I will call them in," I say rushing out of the room

As soon as I am out of the room Angelo rushes to my side

"How is she? Can we see her?" he asked

"she is fine, you can see her she is awake" I smile at him as he and the others rush inside

Alexander went in at last giving me a nod and a small very small smile

Damn

He is hot...

No wait

Not the time lily

As I how much their whole family was crying and hugging each other I wanted to go to my family too

"it's late, I will visit tomorrow," I say and excuse myself

On my way home, I pick up Evan and go home to see both of my parents passed out on the couch

"Mommy and daddy tomorrow hurt" Evan giggles referring to the hangover they will be suffering tomorrow

Now, don't get me wrong but they deserve it,

Having a twenty years old daughter and a three-year-old son, I know they want a break but not in the HOUSE

Honestly

I hope they take this party elsewhere the next month

Yes, they get drunk once a month for fun

Their fun, not mine

I taught them about cleaning up the mess they made but I think they will have fun cleaning up tomorrow

As I was about to walk upstairs I heard Dad mumbling

"Lily, Dad say some ting" Evan says in the wrong grammar

"go to him," I say as he rushes to where Dad is passed out and jumps on his stomach

"Agrhh, what the, ohh, my cute little boy, DADDY MISSED YOU, come here" he shouts hugging Evan

"I love you Daddy" Evan shouts back in the same high tone which wakes up mom

"What, family hu without me? I wanna join" she shouts before jumping on Dad which results in all of them falling with Evan sandwiched between Mom and dad

They stay quiet for a moment and then start singing Baby shark

What the fuck is wrong with them

I was about to stop them when I noticed Evan singing and giggling to all the crazy actions Mom was doing

Was that dance?

No way

I silently start to record everything on my phone

One family of crazy people I have
