NEXT MORNING
Ava was preparing to go to college. She is dressed in a pink jeans skirt that stopped below her thigh and a pink crop top with her hair tied in a ponytail. The wedding ring was no longer on her finger, she wouldn't want anyone to know that she is married, and not only that, she was married to the Cosa Nosra's ruthless son, Vincenzo. Who on Earth would believe her? Nobody!.
She took her handbag and grabbed her phone before going downstairs. She met a lot of people sitting in the sitting room and she bit her lips as she walked passed them without giving any of them a glance.
" Wow... My sister-in-law is rude though. Can't she just say hi to us?" Alessandro said and Giovanni glared at him. " She hasn't adjusted to such kind of life. She's just a naive girl" he said.
" She's really pretty than I am," Nickie said and Reaya hissed, " one million times" she muttered but Nickie heard her.
" Why can't you just mind your fucking business. Did I invite you to interfere?" Nickie asked glaring at Reaya who was chewing gum like a bitch she is.
" You said it yourself that she's really prettier than you so I helped you realize how pretty she is," Reaya said and they both glared at each other.
" The both of you should stop right now," Giovanni ordered and they both stopped glaring at each other immediately. Giovanni was like the second boss after Vincenzo even though he is the first son of Don Federico yet Vincenzo was given Giovanni's position.
" I don't know why father would let him marry such a kid. If I were to be the one I would have run far away from this country. Just imagine such a wedding" Havana muttered pressing her phone and immediately all eyes turned to her and when she felt numerous eyes on her, she raised her head to find them all staring at her." What" she rolled her eyes.
" Why are you making it obvious that you hate her?" Romeo asked and she glared at him. " I don't hate her. I just don't like her" she muttered and Alessandro smirked.
" Is it because she's more pretty, she now gets the father's attention more than you and lastly you're afraid of losing Vincenzo to her right?" Alessandro asked and Havana scoffed.
" Whatever!!" She rolled her eyes and stood up before walking away.
" I so much hate her guts. She's doing like she's Vincenzo's girlfriend whereas she's just a bitch to him" Ana who has been silent ever since the conversation started said.
" Don't let her hear you, if not you would be dead" Antonio said and Ana turned to him, " says who? Havana to me? C'mon Antonio, I thought you knew better" Ana said and Antonio smiled.
" Okay, how about a duet? I need to stretch my muscles since there's no mission for now. Who is in?" Giovanni asked and Nickie raised her hand immediately. " I am in." She said.
" Me too," Antonio said
" Me three," Romeo said
" Me four" Alessandro said and they all laughed before going to the training ground for the duet.
 TRAINING GROUND
The air was filled with anticipation as Giovanni and Nickie stood side by side, their fingers tightly gripping the cold metal of their pistol guns. It was in the morning and the sun showed brightly casting long shadows across the training ground and the billboard, looming large before them.
Giovanni, with his dark and intense eyes, exuded an air of confidence that he would win against Nickie. He is well known among the clan for his sharpshooting skills, a reputation that has earned him both respect and fear within the clan. While Nickie, on the other hand, was a force to be reckoned with. Her fiery red hair matched her fiery spirit, and she was ready to defeat Giovanni.
" At the count of three, you two will begin the duet," Antonio said and started the counting, " 1.....2.....3.." he shouted and the two competitors sprang into action. The sound of gunshots pierced the silence, each bullet whizzing in the air and in no time the billboard was filled with bullet holes as they aimed for the bullet eyes.
 Giovanni's shots were calculated and precised, his many years of training were evident with each bullet he shot at the billboard.
Nickie, however, depends on her raw talent, her shots were wild and unpredictable shocking the hell out of Giovanni. There was a method to her madness that Giovanni couldn't get even with his many years of experience. She moved too fast like a supernatural, her bullet grazing the billboard gracefully.
" Woah!! Nickie is on the winning side" Antonio said using his phone as a microphone while the rest of the members stopped their duets to watch Giovanni and Nickie.
" Giovanni has never lost before. I think something is wrong here" Alessandro said staring at Giovanni who was very slow with the bullets. He is always the fastest type who no one in the clan not even Vincenzo could beat when it comes to shooting.
" I think I know what's going on" Ana chipped in immediately and Alessandro and Romeo who were both at her left and right side turned to her immediately and asked, "What?".
" Giovanni is being slow because he wants Nickie to win," Ana said and looked at the both of them before continuing. " I think Giovanni likes Nickie" she dropped the bombshell and the both of them gasped in shock, their eyes widening every second.
" What!!" They both chorused. " That can't be true. I know Giovanni so well, that guy can't fall for any girl not even the goddess of beauty" Alessandro chuckled and shook his head. He didn't believe anything Ana said, he knew Giovanni since they were little because cause they were blood brothers.
" That's the truth. If you don't believe that's your business, but from my point of view that what's it seems like" Ana said and walked out of their midst going to where Nickie and Giovanni were having a duet.
" WTF!! Giovanni likes Nickie??"
