Introduction
It started off as a simple plan. They had timed it perfectly; the Lombardis were usually good with that. The antique shop closed at six and the owner left a little after seven. The elderly woman usually left the alarm off because she wasn't good with numbers and technology. Trust them, they checked. She would more than likely use the back exit because she was paranoid of the front for some odd reason. Plus, unlike most stores, there was no need to fear any video cameras. Miss Moretti tended to trust the integrity of the citizens and yadda, yadda, yadda yah. So, they schemed and were equipped with weaponry if the nee arose. It seemed to be the case nowadays. It was a rainy day and night, a thunderstorm was brewing in the horizon. She probably left earlier than usual because she disliked the rain. The plan was golden. They could get in, get out, and be back with their family by at least midnight. The idea was promising and with one nod to one another, the trio entered the antique shop, dead-set on finding the precious artifact.
And then they saw her.
And she was beyond terrified. The young woman looked no more than twenty, maybe a little over that. She had been outside as she heard her aunt's cat, which loved to live near the shop because she spent the majority of the time here. The cat was whimpering, deathly afraid of the rain and the boom of the approaching thunderstorm. She locked the cat in her car, allowing it to settle in her backseat. As she headed back to the shop, a streak of lightning tore through the sky and she gasped, high-tailing it inside. Soaked and ready to go home, the girl waited, hoping that the stupid delivery would get in already so she could go home. However, she was shocked to see three masked man - decked out in all black, searching the shop. A strangled gasp erupted from her throat and her hands flew to her mouth in surprise. All three heads turned into her direction and she jumped back against the wall, visibly shaken. She slid down the wall in complete horror, too frozen with fear for her life to even let out one scream. The more muscular one of the three turned to the one that was standing closest to her.
"I thought you said no one would be here," he growled. Her eyes darted between them before settling on the one that was slowly approaching.
"No one was supposed to be here," he hissed back before choosing a more gentle approach to the scared girl. "No one is normally here. I don't know why she is; that woman doesn't believe in late shifts." She found her voice for a second, trying to make out his eye color in the dark.
"M-my aunt...n-new delivery," she sounded broken and when he reached out a hand to console her - which was kinda weird, aren't they going to kill her? - and she flinched in response. "I-I have to wait." He nodded and the thinner one of the three touched his comrade.
"We gotta go." His voice sounded younger than the other two, she decided. "This is already a risk." The muscular one nodded in agreement before his eyes fell on her and she pressed herself against the wall as tightly as she could. Perhaps she could disappear into it.
"What do with her?" A chill crawled down her spine and she became confused over whether or not it came from the fact that she was cold and wet or actual fear for her life. The man in front of her stared for the longest of times and she swallowed hard. Her breath was caught in her throat, her eyes wide with reasonable fear, and her hands were shaking. She looked so fragile and vulnerable and it was all because of his stupid miscalculation. Then again, where the hell was Miss Moretti? And when in the hell did she receive late deliveries?
"We leave her," he said after awhile and she did not try to hide the sigh of relief that escaped her. "She won't recognize any of us. I doubt if she'd ever want to come back." The three nodded and with one more glance at her, the man led his crew out into the arriving thunderstorm. She pulled her knees up to her chest, waiting for her heartbeat to calm as angry tears dripped from her eyes at her own weakness.
What in the hell had just happened?

The Salvatore family was wiped out. Their last surviving member was killed over a decade ago and every other rival family has been trying to get their hands on the Salvatore family heirloom. To some, it was a simple antique. A pocket watch that nobody used. To the Lombardis and their rival, the Mancinis, it was more than that. This one pocket watch meant fortune; it meant prestige. The Salvatores once kept their sacred possessions protected but with no one left, two of their biggest rival families were after it. This one little artifact could make you the richest family in the world and the most secure. And if it meant getting your hands dirty just to get it, then so be it. However, it's not just the watch itself than could help you. The watch was worth a quarter of a billion dollars. It was inside.
Inside the pocket watch lay a small gem that once belonged to a British duchess. England has been looking for this gem for years and has promised unlimited security and money for whoever brings it back. Sadly, just before the Salvatores were killed, they shipped all of their possessions in different locations, the pocket watch lost. Or so everyone thought. Rumors circulated that an elderly woman who owned an antique shop in New Rochelle might possibly have it; she has had a few other artifacts before. So, the Lombardis decided to check it out.
And they encountered her niece.
It was a small incident, nothing that truly mattered to the patriarch. They had encountered many casualties before. However, his oldest son - the normally cold and detached one - did not seem to agree with that. His guilt over seeing the girl's frightened eyes made it nearly impossible to move on without checking on her again. So, he did. And now, he can't seem to let her go. A simple meeting turns into a blossoming relationship built on ill-placed trust and lies. She can't remember him and all he can think about is the day he made her fear for her life. She had nothing to do with this life, but leaving now seems impossible. Because now, the police are questioning everyone in the neighborhood over the break-in and the death of one of the Lombardis henchmen near the outskirts of the city. No doubt, it was caused by a Mancini and to make matters worse, the delivery came in and with the new artifacts for the shop came the watch. And one Mancini knows that the girl has it.
What will happen now that the Moretti niece seems to have captured the attention of the eldest Lombardi? Will their new love be enough to bear his tidal wave of lies? Or will they both be swept away by the secrecy? Will his family even accept the relationship? Or will the partiarch stop at nothing to get this girl out of the picture? And now that the watch is in her possession, how safe is the girl and the people around her, especially after a Mancini finds her number? Only one way to find out.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
It took a few minutes for Katie to calm Ash down. The girl's concern, while adorable and heart-warming, seemed to reach no end. And Katie was too distracted by the police that were searching the place, as if they were going to somehow find something. She turned to Ash when she spoke again. "Look, I'm fine, the shop is...it's gonna be fine. We are all fine. I just gotta...I just need a minute to breathe. Just go ahead." She smiled to reassure the girl and nodded to Alena, hoping she would follow her inside.
Like last night, the shop still had broken things on the floor. Her aunt would be super pissed about her precious antiques. They were of sentimental value to the woman. Each artifact, even it didn't belong to her, held a memory. Perhaps Katie was insensitive about it, but they were all just stupid artifacts. None of them actually worth breaking into a shop for. She felt a little anger bubbling up inside of her, knowing that somebody wanted to come in here for something and would have done anything to get it.
"I don't know what to do here, Lena," she admitted to her best friend. "What the hell did they want from me?" She knew that her best friend would not have an answer, at least not the answer Katie wanted. Who know what those robbers wanted?
She glanced out the shop's window and saw some tall male standing near Ash, talking to the girl and the guy Katie knew to be her boyfriend. They weren't familiar with each other or anything, but Katie had seen the couple a few times before. She was about to turn back to Alena when the tall guy's eyes cut in her direction and her breath caught in her throat. For a second, Katie swore he knew her. The intensity in his gaze caught her by surprise and subconsciously, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear that fell out of her ponytail. She was just about to say something to Alena -
"Katherine," Officer Swann called and ran through the door. Katie tensed almost immediately and folded her arms over her chest. He was the last person she needed to see right now. "My partner just briefed me on everything. Are you alright?" As he spoke, he approached her and once he was close, his hands were on her arms and although she was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, she could feel the uncomfortable warmth of his hands as if they were on her skin.
"Eric," she snapped and pushed him away. It was gentle enough to not bring too much attention, but had enough force to remind him that she wasn't comfortable. He frowned at her, piercing her uncomfortably with crystal blue eyes. "I'm fine. A little shaken, but fine." She managed to give him a tight-lipped smile, glancing over at Alena for help.
Looking at her friend she waited for a reply, watch her mouth open, but then it seemed like Katie froze in time and the words did not emerge. "What's wrong?" She stuttered as she spoke not sure what to make of this. Confused she let her eyes follow what her friend was looking at. "Hello Officer Sexy..." Alena said quietly to herself looking Officer Swann over. She had a interest in his appearance while she knew Katie disliked him for whatever reason. Looking back over at Katie she noticed how she had crossed her arms, She's uncomfortable. Was her first thought. "Katherine," He watched as he reached and touched Katie's arm laughing softly at her friends reaction. "My partner just briefed me on everything. Are you alright?" "Eric," to Alena's trained ears she could hear the hidden but sweet spitefulness in Katie's voice, "I'm fine. A little shaken, but fine." She gave Eric a tight smile then shot Alena glance. Time for momma bear to step in. "Hey bro," she said giving him a playful punch, "this little chicka is going to be peachy. She'll be staying with yours truly," she didn't exactly know if that was ok with Katie, but she said it anyways, "and you know she'll be safe as long as she's with my dad. At one point he was sheriff, the best this town had ever seen. So yes, she'll be fine, hands down, the whole mine yards!" Looking him over she started twisting her hair on a flirtatious manner, "Speaking of fine, I've alway loved a man in uniform." Giving him a wink she then made a secret hand sign to Katie that meant Good. Using the word as a question she hoped it'd be a yes, she was trying to draw all the attention away from her bestie and on to her, and she certainly wanted all of Eric's attention.
