Somewhere in America, Rosalia was throwing and breaking everything around her while screaming and crying. No one there was able to control her. They didn't know how to console her as she lost the only person in her life, her dad. She was going crazy not being able to tolerate the loss.
" Ms. Richard." A guy called her from the door. Not wanting to come inside without her permission.
" What? Who are you?" Rosalia shouted.
" I work for your father. I was in that mission with him."
" What the fuck will I do with that information? Can you bring my dad to me? No right? Then get the hell out of here!" She screamed crying.
" I'm sorry for your loss Ms. Richard. But I need to show you something. I know it'll be useful to you."
" I don't want to see anything. Get out!" Rosalia shouted again and started throwing things.
" It's a video footage of what happened to your dad there Ms. Richard."
That's when Rosalia stopped and looked at the man. He nodded assuring that he was saying the truth.
" Show it to me!" Rosalia said coldly.
That man went near her and played the video on his tab showing her. Rosalia watched the whole video curling her fist. The whole incident was recorded in it.
" Dad" She whispered crying when Aurora emptied her gun shooting him.
" Isn't it Ana?" She asked pointing at Antonia.
" She is Antonia Ms. Richard. Your sister."
" Yeah. Her nickname was Ana and mine Rosa. How can she hurt her own dad? How can she witness her own dads death without any remorse?" Rosalia asked angrily.
" She is now UNDOCILEs right hand and Venoms adopted sister."
" Venom! For her I couldn't even meet my dad for the last time! I'll not spare her! She will suffer way more pain than me." Rosalia said darkly.
" What do you wanna do?"
" I'll snatch everything from her. Her audacity to think no one can steal Charlie Zaffino for her huh? I'll kill her and snatch her throne, her group, her people and most importantly Charlie from her. She will be left out with nothing." Rosalia said smirking.
" It won't be easy Ms. Richard. You have seen how tactfully she has played your dad. You need a well organized plan and enough skill to bring her down."
" I don't need your lecture now. I'm not in a mood for all these."
" I'm here to help."
" Did I ask for it? Thank you for this video. You can go now. It's my revenge, I'll seek it by hook or crook."
" I have a revenge to take too Ms. Richard. Why not work together when we have the same motive? I can help you with information and the skills you will be needed."
" Why do you want revenge from them?"
That man explained his side story to Rosalia.
" Let's do it together then. It's time to show Aurora Mariano that not everything is meant to be hers and she can't get away after making me suffer this much." Rosalia said smirking.That man smirked too.
" We are in this together then." He said extending his hand for a shake. Rosalia shook hands while nodding.
" Just live peaceful life some days more Aurora. Your death will be knocking at the door soon. This time your opponent will be Rosalia Richard. I will not let you win at any cost." Rosalia said with determination.
" We need a plan."
" Well, I have a plan." Rosalia said smirking.
" What?"
Rosalia explained her plan with him.
" It will take time. But it's worth it. Let's start our preparation. I don't want to let them live peacefully for too long after causing both of us so much pain."
" Me neither." Rosalia said looking at her dads picture.
" I'll complete what you couldn't dad. Wish me luck." She said crying. That man stood behind her.
" Wipe your tears. It's time to make them cry and ourselves happy."
Rosalia nodded her head while wiping her tears.

Three weeks later,
At university cafeteria,
" Where is Sofia?" Harry asked Leo.
" There she is." Leo said pointing at running excited Sofia.
" Aren't you guys excited?" Sofia said coming towards them. The four boys chuckled seeing her excitement.
" Not more than you I guess." Leo said smiling at her.
" Finally Antonia is coming back. I was so bored without them." Sofia said sighing.
" Didn't we accompany you?" Charlie asked giving her a side eye.
" Of course all of you did. But without them it really feels empty. I'm not used to stay away from them for a long time."
" Should we all go to pick her?" Lucas asked.
" Yeah. We should." Leo said.
Antonia was coming back from Australia after spending three weeks there. Mr. Mariano was well now and having a rest there. Erena was taking care of him. Their grandparents are well too after spending time with their three grandchildren.
But Aurora became super busy after going there. Doctor asked Mr. Mariano to get bed rest for more than one month. He didn't want to but Aurora ordered him to do so and she would handle the business staying there. She didn't contact Charlie or anyone after going there.
Charlie was so upset with that but he didn't say anything to his friends. He tried to contact but she didn't response. Charlie felt devastated and his friends understood that well. They were confused with Auroras behavior too.
" Antonia will join us from tomorrow right?" Charlie asked.
" Yeah. I'm so excited." Sofia said clapping.
"Even her boyfriend is not this much excited like you I guess." Harry said sighing.
" I'm just happy that she is fully fine now. I won't have to be extra cautious for her." Lucas said chuckling.
Antonia completed her physiotherapy course there with the help of Erena. Her nerves has healed and she is completely healthy now.
" Yeah. She told me Aurora has permitted her to take over her position again. She is so happy and excited to be able to work again." Sofia said laughing but stopped as soon as she remembered she mentioned Auroras name.
All of them looked at Charlie and found him smiling sadly. They felt sad too. Lucas side hugged him.
" She will come back soon buddy. Don't be upset." He said.
" I'm fine guys. Don't worry." Charlie said trying to smile.
" We all know you are not Charlie. But try to understand her side too okay? She is needed there. Uncle is sick and she is handling everything." Sofia said softly.
" I'm fine with it Sofia. But the thing paining me most is she haven't even felt the necessity of contacting me for once. But it's okay. I know she won't prioritize me over her work." Charlie said looking down. He was feeling miserable now.
Why was she doing that? Does she want to avoid him after that night thinking what they did was not right? Does she regret their moments? Does she want him to go away from her life? All these things were running inside his head and all he could think of was she regrets getting closer to him. These thoughts were eating him continuously.
Others didn't say anything as they didn't know how to console him in that situation. They also didn't know Auroras side and why she was making him suffer like this.
" We should go to airport now. She will land anytime." Lucas said trying to change the topic.
" You guys wait at the entrance. I'll get my car." Charlie said and went to the parking area. He brought his car today so that they all could fit in a car.
" I'm feeling bad for him." Sofia said sighing.
" He is totally living like an empty person. He doesn't want to go to parties or clubs or any kind of gatherings. All he has interest is in our training." Leo said.
" Yeah. I didn't even think he would be this much interested in mafia things." Lucas said.
" It's for Aurora I suppose." Harry said.
They went to the entrance and hopped inside the car. Charlie drove towards the airport to pick up Antonia.
