Is this what you have become?

Mia, 16 years old

Mia watches from the shadows as Alessia Victor's execution. Her heart racing, she feels a chill run down her spine. She has always known Alessia to be her caring and protective sister but the cold calculation in her eyes sent shivers down Mia's spine.

For the first time, Mia feels scared of her sister. She begins to wonder if she really knows Alessia at all.

Mia tries to shake the feeling of her head, but it still lingers. She decides to retreat to her room, needing time to process her emotions. However, she is not alone for long. The door opens and Alessia enters, her expression softening as she sees Mia's frightened face

"Mia, what's wrong? " Alessia asks her voice gentle. Mia tries to hide her feelings, but Alessia's piercing gaze sees right through her.

"You're scared of me, aren't you? " Alessia states, her voice barely above a whisper. Mia nods feeling a mix of emotions. Alessia approaches her, her eyes filled with deep love and concern.

"Mia don't be afraid ". Alessia says her voice soothing. I would never hurt you, You are the only person I care about, the only person who truly matters to me".

Alessia opens her arms and Mia steps into them, feeling a sense of safety and security. The two sisters hug each other tightly.

" I love you Mia". Alessia whispers, her voice filled with emotions. "You're my everything". Mia's voice is muffled against Alessia's shoulder. I love you too, Alessia.

The next day.

Alessia's eyes narrow as she listens to Marco's report.

"Our shipments are being held up", his voice laced with concern. " The authorities are cracking down and our goods aren't reaching their destinations.

Alessia's expression turns icy, her voice dripping with menance. " I think we remind the authorities who we are", she says her tone unmistakable.

With a flick of her wrist, she summons Learnado who produces a phone. Alessia's fingers dance across the keypad dailing a number that only a few posses.

The room falls silent as Alessia waits for the call to connect. When it does, her voice is like a cold wind sending shivers down the spines of those around her.

"Jack! What is the meaning of this, she says her tone dripping with malice. I hear you are having difficulties understanding our arrangements. I have paid you so much money, that you cant even earn in this lifetime or the next, my shipments will pass unimpeded. Your agencies WILL stand down.

The minister's voice on the other end is tremblingon the other end of the line.

"Miss Alessia, please understand we can't just-

Alessia's laughter is like ice, cutting of the minister's words. " You do remember your place, Jack, you so called fool, I have given you an ultimatum. Three days.

After that, you and that your bastard son will be nothing but memories".

The line goes dead, and Alessia'sgaze sweeps the room. " it's done!"

Within minutes, the phone rings again. Alessia smiles in truimphant as she answers.

" Ah jack, I see you have come to your senses. My goods will be delivered unimpeded, won't they?"

"Y-yes Alessia. Anything you want , just spare my son." and pls my name is jackson Cartel can you pls accord me with that little respect.
