"So, now what's next?" Amara curiously asked Michael as they settled in the backseat of the Limousine.
"We will be flying to Sicily"
Amara got excited but she was surprised when the Limousine went in some other direction instead of the airport.
"Great uncle, this is not the way to the airport" Amara asked, evidently scared.
Michael chuckled, "Are you scared? How will you become a mafia leader if you would get scared so easily?"
Amara was not sure what to say, then she saw outside the car and realised they were heading to the outskirts of the city. Amara decided to escape, she started making an escape plan.
The car stopped but before she could put her plan to execution, she saw a private plane in the huge area, then she realised why they didn't go to the airport and felt embarrassed for not trusting Michael.
"We are mafia, we carry guns and other illegal weapons, we can't travel through flights like other people, this is my own private plane, from today this plane belongs to you too."
Michael explained and then they settled themselves in the plane. It was a 16-seater private plane, designed exquisitely, there was a private mini bar and the seats were comfortable. The interior was designed in all white and cream colour, the plane gave a very cool and rich vibe. Amara instantly liked it and settled in one of the seats.
"So, what was the plan you made to escape?" Michael suddenly asked
Amara got embarrassed as he saw through her.
"What escape? What are you talking about great uncle?" Amara innocently asked.
"Few minutes back you were definitely planning for an escape, you doubted my intentions, what was the plan?"
Since he saw through her, there was no point in lying, so she decided to tell him the truth.
She took out a pen from her pocket, Michael raised his eyebrow wondering how was she planning to escape him and two bodyguards with a pen.
Then she opened the cap of the pen and it was actually a thin needle instead of the nib of a pen, Amara then explained.
"This needle if pierced into a person them drift into a long sleep, I was planning to attack great uncle with this needle, one of the bodyguards would have been taking care of uncle as they won't know he was just sleeping but would assume something happened to uncle and with my martial arts I can easily tackle the other bodyguard, then I would just run away and send a message to my contact via this pen, it would send my current location to this person and they would have come here and taken me away."
Amara explained her entire plan, Michael was really surprised as she was able to come up with an escape plan is so less time and the pen, she had intrigued him.
"I have never heard of such pens, with a needle that can make someone sleep." This pen intrigued Michael's interest.
"Yes, because I invented it myself"
Michael was surprised and realised there are more hidden talents in Amara than one can see, he wanted to see more of her powers and knowledge.
After few hours they reached the Sicily Island.
Amara got off from the private plane and there was another limousine waiting for them.
She expected to go to a dark alley like place where underground and mafia people work but surprisingly, Michael took her to a beautiful bungalow which was surrounded by greenery on one side and a private beach on the other side. There were many bodyguards guarding the place from all the sides.
Even before the limousine could enter the main gate, there was a lot of technical verification where the car license plate, the driver, the two bodyguards and Michael too were verified.
"She is new here, she is not yet registered in our system so we need to register her, let's do that in the later part of evening." Michael explained to the person who came for verification.
That person nodded and left.
After the car entered through the main gate, Amara saw the large garden on either side of the road, this road then leads her to the main bungalow and on the way, she saw a tennis court and she understood Michael loves Tennis and therefore has his personal court at his home.
They reached the main bungalow, it was designed exquisitely, the entire house was in white but there were no marks, it seemed like it was well maintained.
Amara gaped in surprise when she saw the insides of this bungalow. It was designed very well, it was a large home with antiques and paintings on the wall, the interior was all done in light colour theme, it was mostly cream and white with shades of brown.
"Amara this is our maid Stella, if you need something she will be at your service." Michael pointed to an aged woman who seemed around fifty years of age, dressed in a white shirt and a black skirt with a black coat on the shirt, her hair was tied in a bun and she looked indifferent.
Stella bowed to Amara and she in turn nodded at her. Stella has been working here for more than thirty years so she knew everything about the Russo family and Michael's men already informed her of Amara's arrival so she was prepared.
"Amara, Stella will take you to your room, relax for today and tomorrow we will start your training, first we will check your skills and your capabilities and only once we believe you are suitable to join mafia, I will perform a naming ceremony for you and officially change you from Amara Brown to Amara Russo. The training is going to be difficult so be prepared."
"I will great uncle, thank you" Amara then went with Stella who showed her the room which was arranged for Amara in a few hours.
Amara really liked her room, it was painted in grey with a large white bed and a study table in one corner, there was a big cream coloured couch on one side and the basic necessities were there. Her room had a large balcony which looked over the private beach they had. It was pleasant and beautiful; Amara was mesmerized the beautiful view in front of her eyes.
"You are not here to admire the beauty but to be a mafia leader, never forget that" the voice made Amara turn around and see Michael standing near the balcony entrance of her room.
"I know great uncle; rest assured my focus is mafia."
"Ok freshen up and I'll show you more interesting things around the house." Michael left.
Amara nodded and went to freshen up
