I WAS SO EXCITED TO WRITE THIS CHAPTERRRRRRRRRRRRR

*Elonzo's POV*

I was sat on the dining table with Blake next to me who was on his phone. The laptop was currently in front of me and I was examining Alexa from the cameras that were well hidden in her room.

Alexa was currently on her window sill staring out of the window - as she were in a world of her own - with tears flowing down her cheeks. It broke my heart, really, to see her like that.

I looked away from her for a moment, fixing my gaze onto Blake instead. I leaned over to see what he was doing on his phone, then sighed.

"You should really stop with that app," I said, watching Blake scroll through all his reading lists looking for a book to read.

"I just can't! This app is so addictive - plus, I'm only doing this to get to know Alexa better," Blake replied, trying to make his own point,"It's not my fault none of these sisters on Wattpad are like Lex."

He stopped scrolling and picked out one, reading the description.

"This one is by Huffle-Claw," He read out,"Reckon this will be a good book?"

I shrugged not really interested, Blake tapped 'read' and went through it all which was said to be the Author's Note And More chapter.

I honestly didn't understand Blake and how he found it interesting to read things like this. Because of these books, it exposed our mafia community. All of tried to shut-down the trend but it was impossible as it was just too popular.

Blake chuckled,"Look, it has names like ours. Not surprised there though, literally all books have names like these. And I thought my name was unique."

I gave my focus back to Alexa as I couldn't be bothered to hear more.

"Lex? Lexi? I was suddenly woken up from my dream of me attempting to hit Voldemort with a stick and scaring him into thinking that it was a real wand," Blake mumbled under his breath, laughing a bit.

Alexa got up from the window seal and looked in her mirror, wiping the tears of her cheek.

"We had finally landed in America, after two days of switching flights, and also had claimed our baggage," Blake carried on.

I wanted throw something at him to make him shut up, but I restrained myself, my nails digging into my skin.

Alexa now had a fake smile plastered on her face and her lips moved as if she were saying something to herself.

"I saw a small white paper, I don't know why, but it made me eager to examine it."

I gave a quick glance at Blake in anger, his eyes were full of questions.

"H-Hey Elonzo?" He called me stuttering a bit and looking up from his phone.

"What?" I spat. "I really think you should read this," Blake whispered. Before I could change my mind he quickly added,"I promise it's worth it."

I rolled my eyes, but either way I agreed to read whatever Blake wanted me to read. It better be worth as much as Alexa

'He's dead, a cold voice answered making me shudder.'

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, why did this statement seem so familiar?

The chapter of the story ended, but I still couldn't figure out what exactly Blake wanted to show me, though most of the sentences did click a lightbulb at the back of my mind.

"Oh come on!" Blake groaned in exasperation,"How the fuck are you even the Don of the biggest damn mafia?"

"Watch it," I snarled,"Don't you dare ever talk to me like that."

Blake wanted to argue but couldn't say anything. Instead, he shot me a glare, which I returned as a warning.

I dug my brain, wanting to know every single detail. Was it so simple to guess what this was?

"Asshole," Blake muttered to himself.

I wanted to punch him so badly. 'Conceive it, don't show your emotions, it's one of everyone's weakness',' dad had always taught me. I forced myself to hold back and instead reply calmly. "You tell me if it so simple."

Blake cleared his throat and began to point out specific points,"First of all, the brother have our names -- but like I said, nothing new. Then, what made me suspicious were the characters; Emilia, Ava, Laura, Charles, Susan and David Romano."

I slowly nodded my head to show my understanding.

"And what really struck me was the main character's name, which is Alexa," Blake looked at me to see if I finally understood what he wanted me to. Instead, I looked at Alexa to see how she was doing.

She was laying on her bed, her feet on the pillow, and playing with her fingers. Her lips were still moving.

Blake ran his hand through his hair in frustration,"For what I know, Lexi really wanted to come to America, and the main character in this book wants to as well. Also, Alexa in both scenarios talks to her brothers in the dining room. If this isn't enough proof, you were the one who said dad was dead."

I widened my eyes add the mention of dad's name, it all came like a memory. All these clues Blake said fit like a puzzle, like we just found the missing pieces.

"So," I said, taking a deep breath,"You're telling me Alexa has this app, Wattpad, and she has written about her life?"

"It seems to fit," Blake replied, running his hand through his hair once again,"W-We should probably tell the others and read the rest of the book."

I nodded, stunned. How had Alexa been able to hide so much from us?

All of my brothers rushed into the room at Blake's call, immediately erupting with questions.

"SILENCE!"

With just one shout they were all quiet. We gathered around Blake's phone and read each and every page.

It all unfolded in front of our eyes, Alexa was even more clever than we thought. She knew we were in the Mafia. She knew about the guns. She just knew it all.

But we didn't. We didn't know who Cherry was -we had to take immediate reaction to it as Alexa could've been talking to a stranger. But so attached to someone like that? We didn't know her biggest secret.

I felt guilty for snapping at her when she didn't know much herself. All her emotions were spilled in this book.

Blake scrolled to find ourselves at the end of the book, but we all knew that it hadn't ended.

It wrote when it was last updated, and that was today - when we last took her phone.

Alexa did it so secretively.

I bet my brother and I wanted the same answers , and to get them, we needed to talk to Alexa.
