Alessia, 9 years old.
The warm sunlight streams through the windows of the Lave rouse estate, casting a golden glow over the lush garden. Nine-year-old Alessia laughs as she chases a ball, her curly brown hair bouncing with each step. Her father Alexander Laverouse, playfully teasing her pretending to hide behind a fountain, Alessia's younger sister, Mia, six years old watches with wide eyes, clutching her favorite doll. Their mother, Sophia Laverouse smiles warmly from the veranda, keeping a watchful eye on her daughters.
As they play, Alexander's expression turns serious, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He glances at his watch, his gaze darting towards the security team stationed around the perimeter. The pairet organization's riches and influence hang in the air a constant presence in their lives.
Suddenly a loud explosion rocks the ground. Alexander swiftly scoops up Alessia and Mia, rushing towards a hidden exit.
Alessia, hold on tight, amore! Mia stay close! He urges.
...Sophia's voice echoes through the chaos "Alexander, protect them. Get them out of her! The pairets will take care of the rest!"....
Alexander leads the girls into a secret passage and leaves them in the hands of his elder brother, Learnado,
He goes back to stay by his wife side and try to stop the raiding. Which he is murdered in cold blood with
Sophia, his wife.
Alessia clutches her younger sister, Mia, tightly, as they rush through the secret passage. The sounds of gunfire and explosion fades into the distance. Learnado, Alessia and Mia's uncle leads the way, his expression grim. " We have to get you girls to safety" his vioce firm.
As they emerge from the passage, Alessia sees the devastation. The Laverouse estate lies in ruins, smoke billowing into the air.
Learnado's eyes narrow, his gaze scanning the horizon. He faces Alessia "Pairets will rebuild and you Alessia, will lead the way" his tone with devoid, his voice cold and firm.
Learnado takes them to a secret hideout located in a forest, He leads them through the door, they both enter.
Alessia is led into a dimly lit room filled with scary looking men like gangsters, assassins, thieves and criminals in a whole with Mia in her arms sleeping peacefully, exhausted from their ordeal.
Learnado's expression is somber, his eyes locked on Alessia. "As the new leader of the Pairet, you have a responsibility to protect our organization and our people".
Alessia nods, trying to process the weight of her new role. She's only nine-years-old, but she knows she has to be strong for her family and the Pairets.
One of the associates, a burly man with a huge scar across his face named Marco, speaks up. "Learnado,
are u sure this is wise, she is just a child".
Learnado's gaze turns cold " Alessia is the rightful leader and heir and she will do what is best for the Pairets. I'll guide her ofcourse".
Alessia's eyes dart between Learnado and Marco, sensing the tension. She knows she has to prove herself worthy and make sure her parent's sacrifice won't be in vain.
