Third Person POV

"James, turn around and go with your mother", His eldest brother said harshly as he glared at Adam. The Italians smirked at his desperation, some laughed at him.

"He's just a kid", Another Spanish brother shouted at Leo, his eyebrows raised before Aiden gave him a quick backhand. James went to go forward but Jules quickly came over and hugged him tightly. 

"What the fuck is going on?", Charlie said loudly before rushing over to Sam, standing beside her although he also wanted to hug her tightly and keep her safe from all of this madness. Adam just glared at the men tied up in chairs. 

"Charlie and Jules, take the kids to the office space now and do not come out until I tell you to", Leo said softly as Aiden kicked one of James's brothers. He hummed in pain as the other glared at Aiden, he seemed to enjoy the hatred. 

Jules quickly moved James with her towards the hallway as Charlie guided both Sam and Ebony behind them. 

"Why can't I stay, they are my brothers", James yelled through the hallway as Jules tried to calm him down yet nothing worked. Before Jules could attempt to stop him, he tried to run back in the main room but Charlie quickly caught him, picking him up gently and carrying him towards the marked office room, Jules guiding Sam and Ebony as they walked swiftly behind Charlie and a very aggravated James. 

Back In The Main Room

"What are you doing with our brother and mother", Miguel yelled, the eldest of the group. He was becoming angrier seeing his brother tied up like this.

"That depends on you", Adam said calmly as the rest of the family brought out chairs and sat on cars to watch the show. The other laughed quietly as Miguel struggled against the tight rope. 

"What do you want from us?", He said angrily although tears were in his eyes, seeing his brothers like this compared to the happiness of yesterday made him feel like everything was lost.

"Not from all of you. Just you Miguel", Adam said with a smile as Leo watched closely. Raymond was stood far away in the corner, feeling guilty that Sam had to see that, and that he had to explain it very clearly to her when they return home to Italy which they can do now. 

"Fine then, what do you want from me", He said sarcastically as his brothers watched his braveness. They felt pride for him as well as fear, they knew that the Italians do not mess around, especially with family. 

"Your businesses, companies, names of importance, main dons, you know what I mean", Leo said bluntly with a cold tone, trying to show intimidation which worked perfectly. 

"No. If I give you that, you will me and my brothers", Miguel replied slowly, as if thinking on the spot. It was true, the Italians in this case were much smarter than the Spanish. The Spanish Don had planned to be in charge until he was much older so he never showed Miguel how to truly run things, just the business side. He wasn't used to the cruelty of the Italians.

"We will kill you anyway. You hurt something of ours and took another", Aiden said dramatically as Miguel snorted at him. Max hated this disrespect but held back as Leo held his hand up to stop him.

"That was nothing to do with us. Our father wasn't intending to hurt her nor Charlie, but things got a little out of our control and well, things happened. We wanted our mother and baby brother back. I'm sure you of all people can understand the torment", Miguel said coldly as Adam nodded, tutting to himself as he walked around their chairs, tapping on the gun strapped to his left hip.

"Yes we do, especially when the Spanish scum took Charlie away from us again", Adam said, looking into Miguel's eyes as he put his head down to his chest.

"You're lucky that we are in a good mood today", Leo stated loudly, catching the attention of the brothers as they looked up towards him. 

"How so", Miguel asked cautiously as Aiden, Max and Chris went off towards the law section of the building, collecting a contract formed only an hour ago. The Spanish watched them leave in fear, worried they would come back with some sort of torture machine or worst. 

"We think it will be beneficial for both parties to form a sort of alliance", Adam replied to him, placing a chair in front of Miguel and sitting with his leg crossed over the other. Miguel did a double take before laughing loudly.

"The Spanish and Italians? Is that a joke. Our father is dead because of you", Jose said spitefully, the second eldest as Miguel gave him a sharp look. 

"Why?", Miguel asked, waiting for a reasonable response as the other brothers stared at Miguel in shock, that he would dare to think of becoming friends with these monsters. 

"Because, you have the names we need, and the main players within Spain. You also know the account details", Adam said casually, missing out the whole lack of respect the Spanish have for the Italians and the main part: they could never control Spain for too long. Of course, the Spanish didn't need to know that. 

"And what do you get out of that", Miguel asked him quietly yet his confidence grew, as though he knew that now he was going to live.

"A percent of course. 35%. And safe passage whenever we need to go through Spain", Adam said confidently, not that they had any choice but to agree. Miguel thought for a moment as Jose and the others sighed loudly, knowing now that they were truly in trouble. 

"And most importantly, my little sister and your little brother have been friends for many years, Charlie and your mother are also very close and I would hate for them to lose these relationships because of some Mafia problems", Leo said softly, the thought of Sam making him warm. 

"So your saying you didn't plan them to become this close?", Jose asked accusingly as Aiden, Chris and Max returned into the room, a large document in their hands.

"No, in fact our brother hid from us the true identity of your mother and brother, unaware of who they were himself yet wanted to protect them", Leo said coldly, knowing that he would have to deal with that later as he does not like liars. Miguel sat frozen for a moment as he thought about his options.

============

Option One: Accept this deal in the hopes that they are truthful. 

Option Two: Refuse and all his brothers die.

Option Three: Pretend to agree and then attack later on. 

============

He had to go with option one, something told him that option three wouldn't work out long term and even if it did, they would lose their mother and youngest brother.

"I'll sign", Miguel said reluctantly with a sigh as the Italians grinned, enjoying the show. Whilst this was going on, the Spanish crews had come together to find their leader, searching through abandon building, killing witnesses to crimes as they desperately tried to find some leverage. 

Yet they found nothing and their leaders had no clue that anyone was trying to save them. 

"What?! Miguel, father would never of signed", Jose yelled as the brothers were being removed from the room, thrown in the basement together with their hands tied. Miguel ignored his brothers pleas for him not to sign but ignored them. 

He knew there was no other way, the Italians had got them exactly where they wanted him.

"I'll sign, on one condition", Miguel said coldly, his hands untied with a pen in his hand, in addition to about thirty guns pointed directly at his head. Adam nodded with curiosity.

"My younger brother and mother come with us. And in return, the gangs and crews will be told not to touch you or your family anymore, unless of course, you break the rules of an alliance", He said confidently as Adam thought for a moment before nodding in agreement. As Miguel signed the treaty, the Italians clapped with joy, yelling Adams name with pride in their voices. 

Adam then grabbed Miguel by the cuff of his collar and glared directly into his eyes. 

"I'm only going to say this once. If any of you or your little family come near or hurt any of my family ever again, there will be some serious back lack. This treaty goes to shit and it full on war, a war we both know you will never win. Understood", Adam said coldly in a low voice, seeing the fear in Miguel's eyes as he nodded in agreement, gulping. 

Adam let him go as Miguel fell down onto his chair, realising the sacrifice he made for his brothers, for his entire country. 

"My men will drop you and your brothers off on the boundaries of your estate, let the whole country know that we own you now", Adam said with a smirk on his face, waving his hand as thirty men came forward, heading towards the basement for his brothers and dragged Miguel to the entrance, throwing a black bag over his head. 

All they had to do now was convince Jules and James to follow alongside them.
