Ariana's POV:
I lifted my mobile phone and saw that Dante was calling me. I got worried. Did something happen? I answered the call.
"Привет Dante. Всё в порядке?"
(Hello Dante. Is everything alright?)
"Привет Riana. Мне нужна ваша помощь."
(Hello Riana. I need your help.)
"What happened?"
"I am closing in on Andrey and I need your hacking skills. I have the help of the American mafia. They have a location that is the possible hideout of Andrey and I want you to confirm that he is there or not."
"Ok. Send me the location. I will get back to you when I have the information."
"Ok thank you Riana."
I then hung up the phone and got out of the bed. I went to my desk and powered on my computer. I have modified this computer long ago. So it can perform however I want. This is one of the best computers in the world. That I can say with confidence. I have had it with me for a long time. I learnt hacking when I was 12. First it was just out of curiosity but then I realised that I am natural at it. Since then I have only improved. I looked at my phone and typed the location on my laptop. I started searching thoroughly.
*****
I worked on it for a few hours when I heard the knocking on my door. I panicked because no one in my family knows my secret and if they push open the door then they will see me coding. I quickly looked at the door and saw that it was not locked. I called out hurriedly because I can't shut off my computer otherwise all of the data will be erased and I will have to start again.
"Who is it?"
"Twinnie, it's me. Can I come in?"
"No, no. Don't."
"What happened?" He asked me worriedly.
"I am changing my clothes. Wait for a moment. I will come out." I replied and quickly moved my computer so it was facing the other side and went out.
"What happened? Why are you looking for me?"
"I just wanted to spend some time with you. Why didn't you come to my friend's house?"
"Oh I did some project and then went to meet Raf fratello at his hospital. That's why I didn't go there."
"Oh ok. Then let's go play some games."
"No twinnie. I still have some work. I was just going to do that. You go ahead and play. I will join you if I get time. Ok?"
"Ok twinnie. Then come fast." He went away from there. I sighed out. It was very close. Next time I have to be careful. I haven't done any hacking since I got here so I was a bit unprepared. I went into my room and this time I locked my door. I quickly started where I left and after some time I had all the information.
I called Dante but he didn't answer. He will call when he is free. I went looking for twinnie and saw that he was still playing games. I also went to play with him.

Third Person's POV:
Next day Leonardo and his team went to scout around the mansion that was at the location obtained. They have to confirm everything carefully so as to not make any mistakes. After scouting the area they went back to Dante's house where they are staying for the time being.
"So what did you find?" Dante asked them.
"We asked around discreetly and everyone said that no one lives there. The previous owner of the mansion has shifted to another country. They have left the house to their son who doesn't come here. No one has seen him before. Looks like Andrey really knows what he is doing." Leonardo told him.
Dante also frowned and looked troubled.
"What about your end?" Leonardo asked him.
"I have sent the location to my friend and she will let me know when she finds anything. If even she can't find it then no one will." Dante said confidently and proudly. Asher looked confused, so did everyone.
"Who is she?" Asher asked.
"That I can't tell you. Sorry." Dante apologised.
"But I don't know anyone who is so powerful other than 'A'." Asher said confusedly. He thought for a moment and then looked like he had solved a mystery.
"Wait. Is she 'A'?" Asher asked excitedly. More like shouted. He really wants to meet 'A'. He considers them as his idol. He wants to meet with them at least one time in his life.
"No. She isn't." Dante refused calmly. He knows that he can't let them know about Riana. It's not safe for her and she also doesn't want anyone to know about her identity. Asher was disappointed to hear that. He almost thought that he would meet his idol this time.
"Oh. Then can I know who she is?" He asked curiously.
"I can't tell you about her. She doesn't get involved in mafia business. She is only helping us this time because I asked her as she is my friend." Dante refused them tacitly.
"Oh. It's alright. We should respect her wishes. Not everyone wants to get involved in mafia business." Leonardo said understandingly. Dante nodded. He checked his phone and saw that there was no call yet. Probably more time is needed.
"There is not any news from her yet. I will tell you when I hear it from her." Everyone nodded and went to do their own work.
*****
After a while Dante thought to check his phone and see if she sent him something or not. When he checked his phone he saw that she had called him while he was busy doing some paperwork. He immediately called her back.
"Hello Riana. What did you find?"
"I found some information regarding the place. It is registered to someone named Charles Walter. He doesn't live there anymore. He moved to California."
"Hmm. We also inquired around and found this. Anything else?"
"Well that is where I am useful. I of course found something that might help you. I hacked into the surveillance there and found that Andrey in fact is living there. I will send you the footage. Watch it carefully and then act accordingly."
"Ok Riana. Thank you very much. I will definitely remember it."
"Hey! What are friends for? It's nothing. I will get going now. Take care and tell me if you need anything."
They hung up the call and Dante immediately played the footage. He watched it and called Leonardo. He told him about the footage. Leonardo came after a few minutes. He also watched it.
"It's very useful. It will help us very much. Now we are sure that he is there and we should make plans accordingly. Call for a meeting in two hours and we will make a plan."
"Ok. I will tell all of them." Dante said.
"Make sure that you choose the best men. Nothing is allowed to go wrong." Leonardo said. Dante nodded and got back to work.

Ariana's POV:
I told Dante everything I knew and sent him the footage. Now it's up to him how he makes use of it. I went to sleep.
Morning:
We reached school and I went to my class. Today I had an important math test. I have prepared for it and am confident that I will pass the test. Twinnie is also in this class with me. We both love Mathematics and have prepared for it rigorously.
The teacher came in and distributed the test papers to us. I received my paper and took a brief look at all the questions. I was happy. I have prepared all of it. I quickly started answering the questions and completed my test. I looked up and saw that twinnie also completed it. We both smiled at each other and submitted the test paper. We came out of the class.
"So..." Twinnie asked.
"It was easy. I am confident that I will get full marks. What about you?"
"I am also confident." He smiled at me. I also smiled back. We went to other classes. It was my last class.
Nowadays Elijah has changed a lot. He doesn't sit with me and always seems to avoid me. I guess now I can say that we were not meant to be friends or that I didn't know him that well. He seems to be mixing in the wrong crowd. A few days ago I saw him talking with a boy who is known to be a bully in our school. Sigh! All of us have different thoughts and will not think the same as others. It's ok. I have convinced myself that it's good that we didn't form a bond with each other.
Today I also saw that he didn't sit with me. Now I have given up. My class ended. I went to my car and waited for twinnie to arrive. Recently I have been driving my car to school. As I was waiting for twinnie I saw that Elijah went to that boy as always. I shook my head. Twinnie came and saw me looking there.
"Don't pay any attention to him." I nodded.
"I just feel like we could have been great friends." He didn't say anything. We went into the car and left for home. We arrived and I went to my room. I freshened up and went to take a look at my phone to see if Dante had messaged or not. I saw that there was no news from him. Probably he didn't done anything yet. Anyways he will tell me if something happens. I prepared for my next tests. We have tests for the next few days regularly. Tomorrow there will be an English test. I prepared for it for a few hours. A maid came and gave me some snacks and juice. After completing my study I went downstairs. I saw that twinnie and all of my fratelli were there.
"Princess, come sit down." Papa said. I went and sat down beside him.
"What are you doing guys?"
"We were just asking Matteo about your tests. How was your test princess?" Papa asked.
"It was an easy test. I am confident that I will get good marks."
"That's good princess. Keep it up." Tony fratello said.
"Definitely." I said confidently.
"I miss Leo fratello. When will he come?" I asked them.
"He should be able to come in a few days. The problem is still not solved." Tony fratello said.
"When I grow up I will help you with all of the work."
"Then you will have to learn everything properly and work hard." Papa said dotingly.
"I will definitely work hard. I will make all of you proud." I said determinedly. I still have to tell them many things about me. Sigh! I hope everything will go well.
"Sirs, miss, dinner is ready." A maid came and informed us. We went to the dining room and took our seats. We ate dinner peacefully.
I hope Leo fratello will come soon."

Third person's POV:
A few days have passed since Leonardo and his team came to Russia. Now they have obtained all of the information that they could and have prepared to infiltrate the mansion of Andrey. They have prepared everything that they may need. They were currently holding a meeting to go through the plan the last time.
"There are three floors in the mansion as everyone knows. There will be four teams. One on every floor. One will go in the basement. Asher will be outside with few men in the car. He will disable all of the surveillances and the traps. He will help us monitor everything. I will be there with Dante and we will go wherever Andrey will be. Is there any question?" Leonardo asked with a serious expression on his face.
He was looking like a real mafia boss this time. He knew the importance of this mission. He has to capture Andrey at all costs. He has hurt his family members and attacked his mafia. They lost a lot of men when he attacked last time. He has to avenge them all. He was determined to take him with him to New York.
Looking at his expression, all of the men knew that they had to complete this mission well. They have to avenge their brothers who have lost their lives fighting.
"No boss." They all replied in unison. Leonardo nodded and they set off to the mansion.
All of the Romano siblings knew that he was going in there today except Ariana. Everyone was worried. They knew anything could happen. This can go either way, good or bad. They just hoped for the best.
