Chapter - 24 (Problem after problem !)

Carolina's P.O.V

After hearing what Lilly had just told to Ira , I felt proud . I felt I did something good in this life and that is teaching someone to always be confidant ." So how are you and how is Royce , Randy and the others . Did Damon come with you as I need help from him with the new pranks ?" I said that and laughed slightly when I heard the other pull in the yard . " Yes , all of them came actually to meet you ! Even dad wanted to come as all of us never saw you in real life but grandpa refused and told him to look after the mafia until I go back " Ira said . I called Ira here as she's a great designer and a renovator for the legal world too so I needed her artistic opinions regarding the new study room for the teenagers and the new meeting room and she also made it for me by the time my family was outside as a surprise for them and to renew the peace treaty between the American mafia and the Bangladeshi Mafia . As my dad was at first in Dubai so everyone knew that the Bangladeshi mafia is not in it's country and in Dubai but they were not in good terms , so my dad made a peace treaty with many mafias so we could be safe and when I took over I kept the treaty as it was and when time came I even renewed it . The new peace treaty will be formed with all our alliances as many leaders have retired or handed their mafia to their children . I formed a relationship with all of them as everyone respected my dad . They all knew about me being the queen and as per my request they never spilled a word to my family for which I am and will always be grateful to them . Though I never could see them in person but they were a family to me more than my own family . I formed a special bond with them . It's like they are my second parents especially Greta and Aleksander ( former don and donna of the American mafia) .

After a while Damon came towards me and hugged me tightly , even though I slightly tensed up , which I am sure he felt and was going to ask me about it later . He is like an elder brother to me . I gave him prank ideas and he shared everything with me about his life and I helped him all the time . When he suffered from depression and suicidal tendencies , I helped him out of it . Look at the irony at that , you guys must be thinking I know that . " I missed you so much ! Why didn't you reply to my messages and neither received my calls ? Were you ok ? Did something happened ? " Damon asked in a breath while hugging me tightly . Before I could answer to that I hear squealing from behind me . I turned around to see Emerald in a shocked face and Alice running towards Ira and engulfed her in a hug . They had a bond more stronger than me as they were together when I would send them to America for work or to send shipments . From the corner of my eyes I saw my mom looking at me in disgust and Rafid looked at Damon in anger and left the front door to go to his room without anyone noticing . What got his mood in a twist ?I looked at my family members and told them " Guys this is Ira Rodriguez and this is Damon Rodriguez , over there is Royce Rodriguez and and his twin Randy Rodriguez . That hulk is Bryan Rodriguez " When my dad heard their last name his wheels in his brain was turning and I said " Yes , dad they are Greta and Alek's children " . My dad looked at them in awe and then said " I knew your parents and I sometimes still talk to them . I only saw your mother pregnant with I guess Bryan , but it's good to meet with you guys . Did your parents come ?" to which they shook their heads and my dad had a look of disappointment .

Xerxes P.OV ( Carolina's father )

Oh my god they have grown so big . So did my daughter , even though Maya ( his wife and Lin's mom ) hates this lifestyle but it all started because of me . To keep my legacy and protect out family my daughter did all this . I She's so strong and intelligent for her age . She deserves the name queen . I guess she kept the treaty with all my alliances as the American mafia's kids are now in her mansion . After getting introduced we all went to our rooms to keep our things we brought from the shopping . I was so proud of Lin today , she proved that she's totally worthy of the title that she earned . Even though the many problems she faced and all the things that happened to her have made her more stronger but she didn't deserved what happened to her . I am so proud of her . She managed to expand the empire that I had created , even though it was broken she fixed it and made it perfect . She created a name for herself in this selfish , cruel , unkind and not so generous world of darkness . Sometimes even I am scared of her . The way she handled her betrayer and her kidnappers and how she gave justice to all those people she helped escaped and even destroyed those sex houses . " Don't you think you should restrict Lin regarding her being in the mafia " said Maya ." Why , she's doing good , earned a name for her and her mafia and is totally capable of running her own , so why should we restrict her and it's not my mafia anymore that I can control her " I told her . After she heard it she didn't say anything and went to keep her things in the closet .

Carolina's P.O.V

After everyone went to their room I told everyone " Let's go to the meeting room in the base as I need to discuss something with you guys !" . Then everyone went towards the base and Em and Al and Ira were chatting and catching up with each other and the boys were chatting with Royce , Randy and Bryan when Damon came to me and asked " what had happened to you ? why did you flinch when I hugged you ? Does someone hurt you here ? Please tell me who does and I won't hesitate to kill them . You are the only person who knows me thoroughly .You know me more than my own family knew about me . I love you and you are my second sister I will raise hell for you if necessary just tell me a name " " Calm down , nobody's hurting me here and I will tell you guys what had happened once we reach the meeting room " . I said that and entered the room and took a seat in the middle . The table was a long rectangle wooden table . I sat in the middle and the devil's in my right and the whole American mafia in my left but Ira sat at the other end of the table . "As all of you are present her let me start by explaining why I disappeared or the whole month and why you guys couldn't contact me " I said looking at the American mafia and Damon . " When I received an information that one of my warehouses were bombed and the next location was the house I lived with my parents , as all of you here knew that I hid the fact that I was the Queen from my parents , the former Bangladeshi don and donna . As I didn't have any choice but to show them my real identity and my friends are her as they got involved with me in this mess . Though I checked that our last house was not bombed as they found it empty . I got to know that it was the work of the Vipers , so as I knew their secret base I made the plan of infiltrating it . I decided to do a group mission first but as my family was in this mansion I let the devil's stay here for the protection of my family and did a solo mission . I managed to infiltrate the vipers base and killed their don but I had a gut feeling that something was going to happen so for the best I left a letter to the devil's saying if anything happened t me Alice will become the Queen next and once again my gut feeling was right and as I didn't listen to my gut feeling I got kidnapped by The Reapers . The same gang from Dubai who had kidnapped me and Alice "

" Even though I managed to leave from there but this time I received many things from them . The kidnapper was none other than Olivia Conner sister of Smita Conner also known as Violet . Yes ,the same violet we rescued in Dubai though now I know it was an act but anyways , as you got the brief explanation of why I was not answering any of your texts or calls now let me show you guys the original video of what had happened " .After I completed my explanation I head gasps from Ira and curses from the guys . I went towards the projector and plugged the pen drive . They saw the time lapsed video of me getting tortured and then came the part where they started to grope me and all of them started gritting their teeth . After a while they started clapping when they saw how I killed them , then they were a little bit shocked to see me unconscious and when they started to undress me I looked at the screen and saw everything happen in front of my eyes . The boys looked the other way and Alice was going to fast forward it but I said " Everyone look at the screen if you want to still be my friend " hearing this they looked at the screen very sadly .

bye chikas , love you guys
