Chapter 3

Angelo POV:

Hades walked out of the room and I was shocked. He looked just like Dad, just with a scar over his left eye. I turned to look at Remington, "Who is that boy?" I asked.

Apollo looked hesitant but quickly started talking after a glare. "That's Hades. No one knows his last name. He walked in here one day a couple years ago with one of our men telling us to give him a mission. He's one of our most trusted, he's known as the "Shadow of Death". Him and his sister come here almost every day."

"Who's his sister?" Santino asked.

Apollo shook his head. "I cannot inform you of this. These kids have been through a whole lot, I am not going to just hand of information that could get them both killed. I hope that you can respect that. They're only 16 years old."

"So they're twins and they're sixteen years old. And the boys name is Hades. One more question that is completely useless." I requested. Apollo nodded, "Does his sister have two different colored eyes? One gray the other blue?"

Remington shot his head over to us, "That would be correct yes."

"Persephone." Armando stated.

Apollo's eyes widened as Remington nodded. "....they're your missing twins" Remington whispered putting the pieces together.

All the boys were not tuned in. "Where are they?" I asked.

Remington turned to us. "I will take you to them. For your information, Persephone is an innocent and pure soul. Watch your language around her and try to appear less scary."

I couldn't help my mind to wander. What did she look like? What did they go through? Who's watching them?

We all nodded and followed Remington out of the room.

He then walked back towards the right as we entered the kitchen. When we walked in we saw one man sitting on the couch and the other with a girl covered in power.

She was beautiful. She had dark brown hair with a cute baby pink dress. A smile plastered to her face, she looked just like mom. "Andre where is Hades?"

"He got an alert that there was an attack on their home in Queens." he responded.

"Oh shit, send backup to the house." Remington responded.

In all honest I wasn't even listening to what they were saying. I was just watching the beautiful girl in front of me. She very clearly was very innocent and judging by how she tried to pick up a smoking hot brownie, she is pretty naive as well. She's perfect.

She then grabbed a plate and put the stack of cut up brownies on it. She turned her head towards our direction. We all stopped talking as she murmured something to the man next to her. He looked up at us and nodded. Mystery man picked up the plate and walked over to us with my Princess skipping with a smile on her face behind. She then turned to look at all of us, "Hi! I'm Persephone! Nice to meet you! Do you want one?" she said nearly hopping up and down pointing to the brownie tray.

"Hi sweetheart! I'm Marcello! Of course I want a brownie." Dad said with the biggest smile I've seen him smile since mom passed.

She squealed and grabbed a napkin to picked a brownie up. "They're really yummy!" she giggled.

She handed the brown to Dad and looked up at me. She then grabbed my arm as if trying to pull me down to her height. I bent down in front of her, she leaned in closer and started to whisper in my ear, "If there's double the chocolate, I'm going to need double the brownies." she then giggled and covered it with her hand.

She went to the man holding the brownies and tried to stealthily take two brownies. She brought them behind her back and passed them to me. "These are delicious Princess!" Rocco said giving her a high five.

She was giggling when all the sudden she gasped. "Remmy what happened?!" she shouted.

"I'm okay sweetheart, I just fell." he explained looking softly at her.

Just by looking at her I could tell the she was upset. She then let go of my arm and went to the fridge. She grabbed something from there and ran back. "It's my icepack for my ouchies! See it's a lady bug!" she said.

"Thank you little one." he said.

She giggled then yawned. "Honey how much sleep did you get last night?" Dad asked.

She looked down and spoke, "I kept having nightmares and I couldn't fall back asleep."

Everyone look upset about this news. Remington then grabbed her hand and said, "Alright Persephone. Let's take you to bed you look exhausted. "Alright!"

"Goodnight everyone! Nice to meet you!"

A chorus of goodnights were heard as she walked upstairs holding Remingtons hand. I did not like that she was so close with all these men. I turned to Apollo and say, "We'll be taking them home with us tonight."

All of the sudden we saw a Hades peak over the side of the door and look at Apollo. "Persephone?"

"Upstairs." he responded.

Hades appeared at the door soaked in blood head-to-toe. "Russians?" Remington asked.

Hades nodded and took off his shirt. This kid was shredded, like seriously shredded. But what caught my attention was the tattoo on his arm. It was a scorpion, in other words the Russian mafia tattoo.

He clearly followed my gaze. "I clearly don't work for them anymore." he stated boringly, "Why are these guys still here?" he asked Remington.

"We-" Dad started.

"I very clearly did not ask you." Hades responded with a glare which Dad returned.

"Let's go talk in my office." Remington demanded with a sigh.
