Alessandro stood tall, his imposing figure commanding attention in the dimly lit room.
His piercing brown eyes scanned around the room, taking in every detail.
After some minutes Don Marco walked into the room accompanied by two guards.
"Good Day, Don,"He said, bowing his head.
"How are you, Alessandro" Don Marco replied
"I'm fine boss. You sent for me" He said firmly
"Yes, I want to give you a special work," Don Marco replied.
"What is the work all about? " He said.
"I guess you know that the rival mafia family are after me and my family," Don Marco replied.
"Yes, I am aware of that," He said.
"Ever since my wife died, I have been the only watching over my only daughter, Sophia," Don Marco replied.
"Hmmm", He sighed heavily.
"The rival mafia found out a secret About my only daughter" Don Marco said
"What secret? " he replied.
"They found out that she is a weak, timid and independent person" Dan Marco said "They will come for her soon"
"What !!! We need to act very fast" he replied.
"Exactly and that is the reason why I sent for you," Don Marco said.
"I want you to protect Sophia, she is in danger, Rival Mafia group are trying all their best to exploit her"
Alessandro's expression remained grave, but his mind raced.
Protection of Sophia Bianchi meant inserting himself into a full time job.
The job requires carefulness in handling it to prevent adverse consequences.
"Have they started threatening Sophia" he asked,his deep voice firm
"They sent a message to me telling me that Sophia is their next target and soon they will start threatening her, " Dan Marco replied.
"They might have started planning," he said.
"Exactly my point, they are planning a hit and I need someone with your particular skills to keep Sophia safe" Don Marco replied.
Alessandro nodded, his jaw clenched. He knew what was a stake.
"I'll take care of it," he said.
"Oh thanks, I knew I could always depend on you" Don Marco replied, he signalled to one of his guards.
And the guard walked out of the room returning with a fodder in his hand, which he gave Don Marco.
Don Marco handed the fodder to Alessandro "The folder contains Sophia's profile" he said.
Alessandro's eyes scammed the content of the folder. His eyes narrowed and he checked.
Sophia Bianchi
• Age - 22 years
• Occupation: Socialite
• Family: Bianchi Crime Family
• Abilities: Innocent, dependant, naivety
Alessandro's gaze was locked into Sophia's photo. Staring at her piercing blue eyes and her raven hair. She look so fragile
He tucked the folder into his pocket, his mind racing with the next move.
"I'll need a team" he said, turning to Don Marco
"Choose whoever you need among my guards," Don Marco said.
"Just keep Sophia alive, keep her safe"
He nodded, his expression pale, "I will do exactly what you have said" he replied walking out of the room.
As he made his way out of the room, his mind raced as he thought of the team he would work with to protect Sophia.
An idea came into his mind and a small smile played on his lips.
First, he walked into the surveillance room, where he found Mark his close friend and trusted tech expert.
"Mark, I need your skills for a protection detail "he replied
"Who are you trying to protect"Max asked
"Sophia Bianchi, the daughter of Don" he replied
" I heard a lot of rumour that she has a price on her head"Mark said, his expression serious
"That's why I need you to join hand with me to hack into every available feed, get eyes on every threats attached to Sophia " he replied
"I'm in" Mark said, turning his gaze into his laptop
Next he made his way to the gym, where he found Victor, an expert when it comes to combat skills.
"Vic, I need your muscles for my new job. Come to think of it, you're a skilled fighter,"he said.
"So tell me, who is your target" Victor replied
"Sophia Bianchi, we are going against the rival mafia, "he said.
Victor nodded and reply "I'm always available"
Dr.Stephanie, a skilled doctor in the underworld connection was seated in her office attending to a patient case file.
"I need you as a private doctor for my New Job. In case of any emergency" he said
"I'm ready when you are ready" Doctor Stephanie replied
Alessandro assembled his team; Doctor Stephanie, Victor and Mark into a room and began to draw his plan with them.
"Alright, here's the plan; Mark , you'll monitor surveillance feeds and alert us on any threats that are attached to Sophia. Victor, you'll help in fighting all the enemies. Stephanie you'll be called upon for any medical emergencies."he said.
All the team nodded immediately, understanding their role.
Just then, his phone buzzed with a message from Don Marco.
"Sophia Bianchi house location has been discovered by the rival they are closing in soon"
His expression turned cold after reading the message "it's time to move let get Sophia to safety now"
The team nodded, walking out of the room with him.

Sophia Bianchi stared out of the penthouse window, her gaze tracing around the city.
Whereas, her mind flashed back to the conversation she had with her dad, two days ago.
<<<<< "I don't understand what you are trying to say, dad"She said "You're the target of De Luca family they will come for you soon"Don Marco replied "Why am I their target? What did they want from me?"She asked. "You need to run to somewhere safe, all these questions you're asking me are not relevant,"Don Marco replied. "Where should I run to? Dad you're scaring me"She said, looking very confused. "Don't worry I will provide a bodyguard for you,"Don Marco replied. "You are avoiding my questions my questions dad, who are the De Luca family"She asked "You really want to know, right"Don Marco replied, raising his eyebrows "Yes Dad"She said "Don Leonardo is just a jealous Mafia, he want to rule over anyone and he find out that he can never rule over me and that the reason why he is coming after you because you are fragile"Don Marco replied "That's cruel"She said "So you must be very careful and make sure you don't trust anyone,"Don Marco replied. "Okay, dad"She said < Sophia let out a heavy sigh as her mind raced with different thoughts. She kept thinking about the reason why her dad Don Marco is bent on suffocating security measures. "Who is coming for me? How did I become a target? Who is after me?"She asked herself But soon she was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a sudden noise that echoed from the hallway. Her heart skipped a beat as she wondered who made the noise. "Anna?"she called out to her maid. But she got no response. She quickly picked up her phone on the table in her sitting room, she dialled her dad's line but his line was busy. Panic began to set into her mind as she heard the sound of footsteps moving closer to the door of the penthouse. Suddenly the door burst open. A group of ten men barged into the sitting room. They stretched their guns to her direction and her heart skipped a beat instantly, collapsing on the floor, shaking in fear. "Someone help me!!!"she yelled, tears streaming down her face. "Shut your fuckin mouth, bitch. No one can save you"One of the gangs said, bursting into laughter with the others. But their liveliness was short lived. "Get away from me"Sophia screamed. Just as the gangs were about to attack her and all hope of her getting free from them was getting lost gradually. A figure appeared in the doorway. "Leave her now or face the consequences"the figure said, his voice commanding attention. The gangs quickly left the penthouse, abandoning their mission. Just as the figure approached Sophia. She couldn't help but wonder who the figure was and why the figure was saving her all of a sudden. Just as the figure came closer, it turned out to be Alessandro Her eyes locked into Alessandro's imposing figure and her mind raced with different questions. "Who was this stranger? And why was he saving her?And who was the guys that barged into her sitting room earlier"
