Antonio's POV:
So we are going to the headquarters today for my princess to show us her shooting talents. I know that she is amazing and she won't be any less of a shooter than we are.
I know, I know, you all are wondering how the hell am I getting a point of view and telling the story from my perspective but this is all the fault of this author. She doesn't let me tell my point of view. So I had to fight with her and as you all know that I am the mafia prince and soon to be boss, I, of course won. *Smirk* I had to threaten her a little and there was some coaxing but finally I am here. Hah. Take that author.
Anyways, we should focus on my sweet little princess and not on the author. We finally arrived at our turf. I am very proud of our mafia and I can proudly say that I had done my contributions to it also.
"Princess, let's go and show them how amazing you are." I said to her with a smirk. She was walking beside me. She also smirked.
We went directly to the shooting range. I had already called my men to prepare everything here and ensure that no one was there. I wanted to have our space for today. I will make sure that all of them get to see her talent but not today. Today is for us only.
I nodded at Leo to go with princess to help her prepare for the shooting. He went with her and gave her the protection equipment and the gun. To our surprise she chose a rather complicated gun that was hard to operate and takes quite the practice to handle it. I knew at that moment that we all were in for a very great surprise.
I saw that Ezra and Levi were looking normal like they expected it. I guess that they have trained her so that's why they weren't surprised.
I saw that my family was also surprised by her. Princess got ready in her position and Leo walked back to us. She adjusted her position and got the feel of the gun and got ready.
She took the aim and fired the shot. And bullseye. She didn't stop and continued to fire and fired all of the shots and all of them were the bullseyes. All of them were perfect aim and at the same spot no less. So after she fired her first shot the bullets went through the hole after it. I was really awestruck by her.
I turned and looked at all of them and saw that all were just as shocked as I was. They all were staring wide eyed and were equally proud.
"WOW. WOW. Twinnie, you are awesome." Matteo said.
"Princess, I am very proud that you are my daughter." Dad said.
"Look at her. She is my granddaughter after all." Nonna said. We all praised her. She blushed a little from all the compliments.
"Thank you guys." She smiled.
"Do you guys think that this is impressive?" Levi asked with a smirk and princess looked at him and shook her head a little. Hmmm. There was more to her.
"There is more isn't there?" I asked.
"Yup. She is far more talented than this. She is a sharp shooter." Ezra said with a proud smirk.
"WHAT!"
"WHAT!"
"WHAT!"
"WHAT!"
All of us exclaimed. Now I know why they were insisting that we see her shoot. Wow. She is a sharp shooter. No one in our family is a sharp shooter except Leo, Aurelio and now her. Levi and Ezra were smirking at us. I am so jealous of them. They got to have that time with princess when we weren't there. I am grateful, but it still couldn't wipe out the jealousy that I feel.
"You have secrets too huh princess?" I said.
"Oh you have no idea." Ezra said with a smirk. I guess there is more to it.
"Do you have more secrets princess?" I asked as I felt that it was possible.
"Papa, do any of you have sharp shooting skills?" She asked and I got the feeling that she doesn't want to answer my question.
"Yup. Leo and Aurelio have. They are the best sharp shooters that we have in both of our mafia." Dad said and he was right. They are the best. I guess now we have to test princess to see who is better.
"We should test them to see who is better." Luciano said.
"Yes but not now. We should head back home. We have to be there for dinner tonight." Zia said. We nodded.
"You guys go ahead, I have some work to do. I will be home before dinner." I said to them as I have some work to do here.
"Ok then. Make sure that you are at home before they arrive." I nodded and then all of them went home except Leo and I. I nodded to him and we made our way straight to the dungeons. We have made sure that our guest gets the proper treatment that he should have.
"So Andrey, how are you liking it here?" I asked. He was in pretty bad shape right now but we have made sure that he is alive.
"Just kill me already please." He pleaded. I have made sure that he got what was due to him.
"Why, weren't you very arrogant and full of yourself? Now look at you. Do you regret attacking our mafia?" Leo said.
"Never." He snarled with what little energy he had in him. Leo punched him square on the face.
"Please just kill me." He again pleaded.
"Well today is your lucky day, Andrey. You got your wish true. We are going to kill you so that we don't have to see you anymore." Leo said and shot him in the chest so that he would bleed out slowly.
"Do you think this is over? There is something bigger coming your way. Don't you have your princess Antonio? Just wait." He said as he gasped for his last breath.
"Fucker." Leo yelled furiously and punched the wall. I also was furious. How did he get to know about her?
"We have to be prepared for what he said. We have to up our security especially around our family." I said to him seriously.
"Yes. I will get to it immediately." Leo said. I nodded and went to my office to change my clothes as it was stained with blood. I have a bathroom here as I have to change my clothes after such episodes. After changing clothes I did some work.
Just then I heard her voice.
"Antonio. Can I come in?" She asked.
"Yes, come in." I was a little nervous. She was the only woman who could make me this nervous besides my family.
"Hey I had some work in the neighbourhood so I thought that I could come and see you. It is alright right?" She asked nervously.
"Of course it is. Come on sit." I gestured to my couch that was in my office and I went and sat with her.
"How are you Ava?" I asked her. Yes she is my crush Ava Vintelli. I have been crazy about her since I first met her but she doesn't know it yet. I haven't had the courage to tell her. I know that I am a mafia prince and soon to be mafia boss but I also have my weaknesses that I can't help it. I will overcome it, I have to.
"I am good, Antonio. How about you?"
"I am well. Why didn't you come to the ball with your family?"
"Well I had some work to do that day and I was not in town so I couldn't come. But don't worry we will meet tonight for dinner." She winked at me.
"Yes we are." Yes she is the sister of Valente. So it makes it more challenging for me. We chatted for some time and then she went home as she has to be at my house tonight. I went home with Leo.
"Did you sort out the security details?"
"Yes I did. I have upped the security all around us so that I got even a little bit of information about anyone who tries to do anything." He said.
"Good work." I was now a bit relieved.
"So Ava came today huh?"
"Yup. I am sure that she met you then why are you asking me?" I said, a little irritated.
"Oh that she did but I wanted to ask you when are you going to tell her man? I think if you tell her then there is a very high possibility that she will accept you because I think that she also likes you."
"I don't know but I will tell her. That's for sure." I said, determined.
"Then you better hurry up before someone else comes in and you lose your opportunity. Just go for it man."
"Hmm. Soon."

Ariana's POV:
When we left the headquarters Ben fratello and I took Ezra and Levi to the airport as it was the time of their flight. I am going to miss them.
"Guys don't forget to keep in touch and keep visiting when you have time. Bring Damian also with you will you?" I said, giving them a hug.
"Of course Riana. Don't forget to call us if there is anything." Levi said.
"I will. Thank you guys for coming for the ball. It means so much to me."
"Don't mention it. Now we will have something to brag about as the others didn't get to come with us." Ezra said with a smirk.
I chuckled and shook my head, "You guys are going to torment them aren't you?"
"Yup." Levi said.
"Ok we should get going now." Ezra said. I nodded and waved them goodbye.
"It's ok Ana. You can go and meet them in Texas if you want. I can even accompany you there." Ben fratello said as he noticed me being sad.
"Really fratello?"
"Of course." I then smiled and we went home as it was already evening by now. We have to get ready also. I went in and saw that all of the servants and helpers were bustling around, preparing for the dinner.
"They are taking it quite seriously huh?" I said.
"Yup. Vintellis have been our friends for a long time as you know and this will be their first visit after you come back to us." Ben fratello spoke.
"Why haven't they been here since I arrived?"
"Well they have been in Italy for quite some time and they have recently returned to New York so that's why they haven't been here in a long time." He explained. I nodded.
"Then I am going to get ready fratello."
"Ok Ana but don't fret too much. Just dress casually." He said.
"Ok fratello." I said and then went to my room.
I laid down on my bed and relaxed for a bit and scrolled through my phone. After half an hour I went to my closet, selected my dress and went to the washroom to freshen up.
After that I put on my mascara, eyeliner and some lip tint. Then I combed my hair and left it open. After that I put on my dress and spritz my perfume and I was ready to go.
After putting on my sandals I glanced at the time and saw that it was almost time. They will be here any minute. I went downstairs and to the living room.
"Riccardo called me and said that they will be here in 15 minutes. They are running a bit late because of the traffic." Nonno said. We all nodded. I went and sat with nonna and zia.
"Nonna, zia, you are looking gorgeous." I complimented them.
"Thank you sweetie. You are looking beautiful too." Nonna and zia said. I smiled and waited for them to arrive. Let's wait and see how the dinner goes. I am sure I will be in for a surprise.
