FATE OF THE MAFIA

MIA'S POV

My name is Mia Russo, I turned 26 this year. I love cooking and enjoy it with my father and brother. But my mom insists that I should continue her legacy of Fashion Designing. I love mom, but Fashion is too much for me. I actually don't care how I look or what I wear. It always my best friends, who pick dresses for me for any important occasions.

My father, Noah Russo, is the owner of the Knight Hotel Management and Industries, which include 2 Hotels and 1 Hotel Management Institute.

My father, Noah, is a world renowned 5 Michelin Star chef. Firstly, the Hotel Silver Moon, the 7-star hotel, tops the list of 3 best hotels in the whole of Europe being 3 Michelin Stars holder for 6 consecutive years and 4 'Forks and Spoons'. Secondly, the Hotel Cloud Palace Encore, is a 7-star Hotel with 2 Michelin Stars and 2 'Forks and Spoons' and stands 2nd in the Top 3 list. Last, but not the least, The Jeremy's Institute of Hotel Management which was named after my great grandfather, is the best among the top 10 hotel management schools. With the guidance of world class chefs and first hand experience at culinary skills, students are prepared to hone their culinary skills.

My mom, Emma Russo is one of the most famous Fashion Designers. She has won many awards like The Barbara Dex Awards 4 times, The ANDAM, France and The ELLE Style Awards, France 2 times each. She's also won 5 Dress of the year Awards for straight 4 years. She was even awarded with the Best Fashion Designer Award in Italy for 3 years in a row. She also owns the biggest Fashion Studio in Italy, The Leah's Closet.

I have 2 brothers, Jasper and Marcel. Jasper, 28yrs, is a 2 Michelin star Chef just like Dad. He is tall and handsome like a model, but with no interest in women. Marcel, 27yrs is a famous football player, at striker position in his team. All the biggest playboy. By now, he has had 3 girlfriends and broke up with all. Currently he is single.

Coming back to me, I am the only daughter of the the Russo Family and my mom dad's baby and my brothers' princess. I am doted on and loved by everyone. My uncle and aunt expired in a car crash last year. They had no children, me and my brothers are the only heirs to the Russo Family.

Friends are the important part of our lives. And in my case it's 100% true. My friends, Isla and Ava have been with me since school. Later on, our group of 3 became 5, adding Isla's boyfriend Emilio and Ava's boyfriend Matteo. They are sweet guys and very friendly, also my brother, Marcel's friends. So, basically they were approved by my brothers to be my friends in return they would keep protect me and my friends.

My brother, unlike others, are over-protective and possessive of me. They hardly let me out of their sight whenever I'm with them. But, I love them since they fulfill all my needs and spoil me with shopping, cooking good food and taking me out on trips.

.......

Today was my 1st day at the hotel Silver Moon. My Dad insisted on teaching me some new dishes today. Oh! and before you ask, I enrolled myself at Fashion Designing College, as I hated to say "no" my dearest mom. Like, c'mon, who can say No to their mother when she lets you your freedom in exchange?!

As soon as I entered the hotel, the guards greeted me. I called up my Dad and told him that i arrived.

"Wow!!! Such a big hotel!" I exclaimed.

"Princess, what are you doing here?" It was my brother, Jasper.

Jasper looked surreal in his chef's clothes. His beauty was no less than a celeb. But he was very warm and soft-hearted when it came to me. He hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"Ewww Jass!!!" I said and pushed him. He raised an eyebrow.

"How many times do I tell you not to do these cheesy things." I added further.

"Princess, aren't you too much now? You're my sister, for God's sake." He said, throwing his hands in air in frustration. He shook his head.

"Anyways, c'mon in. Dad's been busy. So I will take Dad's place today, he said.

"Only if you promise to treat me." I asked and held my hand towards him.

"Promise princess. Have I ever saud no to you, darling?" Jas replied and I pulled him into a hug mumbling sorry. In return, he patted my back and led me in.

I was mesmerised at the beauty in front of my eyes. The Hotel Silver Moon was true to it's name. The silver moon with grey clouds was the logo of our hotel. The interior was made of royal blue and silver. the entire way to the kitchen was a walk to heaven. The top quality white marble was placed underneath. Everything from the exterior down to the tableware was exceptional and highly detailed. There was not a single spec of dust found. The dinning was very spacious, followed by a hot spring area for relaxation with a wide swimming pool attached besides it.

"Here, this is our kitchen." said Jas bringing me back from my own world.

"This is so wonderful, Jas.." I exclaimed.

He brushed my hairs and smiled at how I couldn't stop drooling.

"Okay, princess, let me introduce these people to you. They are our most prized possesions and very valuable chefs." Jas said and I nodded in reply.

"This is our Head Chef after Dad and Me, Mr. Rocco," Jas said pointing to a short amd stout man, probably in his 50s with a big moustache.

"Hello, Mr. Rocco, I am Mia, the daughter." I said shaking hands with him.

"Oh my, you're pretty. Well, call me uncle, darling. I am no less than your father. My daughter is just your age and married." He said giving me a smile.

"Sure, uncle. I'm honoured." I said bowing to him.

"This is Mr. Daniel D'Silva, he's from India" Jas said pointing to a man who looked like in his 40s. He was tall, fair and with curly hairs. He had a beard which made him look like a santa claus.

"Hello, Nice to meet you, Lady." He said shaking my hand and smiling at me.

I smiled back at him and nodded.

After that we went to the very back of the kitchen. There were 3-4 boys. All dressed like my brother. They were busy discussing something.

"Guys, this is my sister, Mia." Jas said pointing to me.

"Princess, these are my best buddies." He added pointing to the guys in front.

"Ciao piccola" (hello, little one), said the taller guy and took my hand and kissed it.

"Hie.." I said smiling back at him.

"Sembri una tipa sveglia e sei bella" (you look like a smart girl and, you're beautiful), said the other one with glasses on.

"Sì grazie, ragazzi!" (Thank you, guys), I replied with a smile to them.

The others just waved at me smiling and I smiled back at them. Jas never left his hand on my arm. He held me so close, as if someone might kidnap me or steal me if he let me get a little away from him. Typical brother!!! I thought to myself.

After that I left with my brother to the kitchen front. He guided me, but I still bumped into a table.

"Ouch!!" I groaned in pain.

"You okay, princess?" Jas asked me worried.

"Do you want me to carry you? Did you get hurt?" He asked me further, but didn't let me answer.

"Why the hell is this table here? Take it away, right now." He screamed and two waiters came running and took away the table.

I put my hand on his back.

"I'm fine, Jasper. I mean it." I told him slowly. He nodded back in reply.

Jas carried me to the front and made me sit on a chair. I was about to learn Italian pasta with him today. Just because it was mine and Marcel's favourite.
