Everybody is in the conference room in silence, grandpa Juno is seething in anger after being updated on the kidnappings. The legion members are all reacting the same. Lia, Ronia and the rest of the family are in tears. They are all wondering what kind of monster this person is. Torturing children was the last thread holding Lia together. We all know what she has been through or not.
When Lia turned eight, the beatings began and Sarah never cared. She used to blame her for her husband's infidelity and her broken heart. She always told her that she was a curse brought to her to break her marriage and that she had to bare the consequences. So it began with the beatings, then starving her. By the time she was turning ten, Lia had formed a strong facade and never cried when being beaten. She would protect the boys too, because their mother decided that children were a burden to her.
Sarah saw Lia's strength and it motivated her to break her even more, so she began to brand her with a hot metal stick. She did this to her whole body. When she turned sixteen, Sarah was tired and decided to chase her away to hurt her because she knew how much the boys meant to her. Lia decided that she wanted to help children who pass through such abuse and that's when Dario approached her, she took the offer. What she didn't expect was Tony being the head of this gang.
Lia's pov
" I want in! I can't stand this anymore." "NO!" The family shouted and the group of old men with dark auras also known as the legion were looking at her like she had just lost her sanity. " I don't care what all of you want, but I want those children back and safe in their homes. Now what's the plan!" I said, slamming my hand on the table and glaring at each and every pair of eyes in the room. " Love, we just got you back and you are a mother already, why don't you just be with your family and let us handle this goon." Grandpa Juno says and I see everybody is agreeing with him but Ronia is quiet, too quiet.
I turned to him," You are not going to complain or try to change my mind?" " I love you, Metolia, so much and, as your future husband, I support you. I have seen you train and that is not just normal martial arts, that is one of the reasons I trust you with our babies. If you want to save these children, I am with you all through." He says, and I go sit on his lap and hug him. This man is my everything. I will forever love and treasure him.
" WHAT! You want her to be on this mission! No way, I won't allow it. I will lock both of you up if that is what it takes to save your lives." Grandpa Juno shouts, " calm down old man, you forget that I trained her and she is one of the best. I'm sure Azazel and Duriel can't match up with her." Dario says, which makes everybody turn towards me with respect. Then they bow towards me and I can also see that they are afraid.
"Enough talking, grandpa, I want to help please, otherwise I will be having nightmares for a very long time. Let me help."
" Okay, but you are going with Xavier and Jio. Romania, call your parents and tell them to come to Italy. We can't risk any family members," grandpa said with a straight face, and Ronia nodded and he took out his phone to call them. The meeting continues after introductions and we all know what parts to play. We have to act like we don't know what those psychopaths are up to. We planned to play their game to end up in the lion's cage and take it out.
Since everybody knows their part, we waited for Ronia's parents to arrive. I know the twins will be so happy, seeing all their grandparents in one place. They have been so busy playing with grandpa Juno that they forgot we existed, but we are glad for the alone time. Ronia and I have been in our room the whole day planning our future.
" Do you want a huge wedding or a small one?" He asks, smiling sweetly. " Just a small wedding in our garden back home or here in grandma's garden. I heard she loved gardening before she died and I'm in love with it." " So a small garden wedding will do. How many kids are we adding!" He asks, chuckling at my surprised expression. " Maybe five or three sets of twins." He gasps at that and we burst out laughing. " Yes to that, I can't wait to continue growing our little family." He says with a lot of love in his eyes. I gather up my courage and slam my lips to his and kiss him passionately, expressing everything I feel for him.
This is my dream come true but we will have to cut it short and help save our family and other families around the world. We have to save them before it's too late and seek justice for the ones that were lost.

After Stefan and Maria Romania arrived in Italy, they were introduced to the family and filled in on the happenings around the world and how their family is involved. They took it surprisingly well and they fell in love with Lia the moment they saw her. They called her their sunshine because she brought light back to Ronia and the twins.
Stefan and Maria were involved in all the plans and they cooperated with the Junos.
They spent a week preparing for the upcoming war. The twins were informed of their part to play so as to save their lives and they couldn't wait to come back to Italy. After the family time they all had, it was now time to go back home and officially begin the investigations. Since Metolia was a cool hacker, it was easy for her to listen in to Eva's conversations and lock in to Tony's location. This was going to be an easy mission but a dangerous one. We all hope that they come out victorious.
The Romanias and Camerons head back home in addition to Xavi and Jio but nobody else knows about those two. They will be ghosts on this journey.
Tony's pov
It's been long since I saw my sons, my contact told me they left their mother and went to New York to stay with that bitch. I have to be patient to be able to get the boys back and I want Malech to take over my business. I will have to train him because this business is not for a sissy. I am happy the cash coming in right now is crazy. I have children from powerful people all over the world taken and trafficked. I don't even know where they are taken, but maybe to one of my warehouses.
They will pay for ransom but they won't even get their corpses back. This business is booming and I can't afford any losses. When our father left this business for me, I was so excited. I always admired how men were afraid of him, even governors. I remember his last mission was a one-year-old he had to airlift from her birthday party. He made sure to leave instructions on how to get her after some years and I ended up adopting her with that stupid woman.
I mean women are so gullible. Let's take Sarah, for example. She fell for every lie I told her and she went with it. Next was a busty blonde and my so-called assistant. I even had to marry her. Damn, these women are so useless. My other victims, eh let's just say that I don't give a shit.
Eva is another useless being just like her mother, but I will use her to get what I want. Can you believe she actually asked me for help to get some rich boy to fall for her. That little whore must be stupid, but at least I will get the rich bastard kids and that is more money. My plan is in motion and I can't wait for it to play itself out. It's just like playing chess.

The legion spread out across the world waiting for instructions from a certain person. Grandpa Juno is back at his palace preparing the dungeons and awaiting for some special guests that will be arriving after three days. Oh, he is so happy he can't wait to see them.
Xavi and Jio are the acting drivers and bodyguards to the Romanias. Some of the legions are roaming the house like workers. Nobody in the house was acting differently because the moment they stepped in they knew someone was in their house, so it might be bugged.
Ronia and Lia decided to consummate their relationship and they really had fun. Maybe they even made babies. We will never know. The weekend passed like a blur and Monday came, time for the twins to go to school. This time the boys would be taking them as usual but Stefan and Maria insisted on taking them too. So they reluctantly agreed.
Ronia and Lia will be leaving together in the same car because they are heading the same way.
The plan is in motion. Maybe it will change along the way, but Lia has decided to do something really stupid. Let's pray she won't regret it because she is a jealous lover and she can't stand the thought of Eva near Ronia, so this had to be done.
