Transcript
00:00:00She is a fragile broken beauty, haunted by a past she can't escape. Mia Beaumont is a pawn
00:00:06in the ruthless world of the Mafia, thrust into the domain of the most dangerous man she's ever
00:00:11known. Luca D'Angelo is the Mafia King, a savage predator who bows to no one. Hardened by a
00:00:18lifetime of betrayal, he trusts no one, feeling nothing but a relentless thirst for power and
00:00:24control. Until Mia crosses his path, awakening a dark, consuming desire he thought himself
00:00:30incapable of. Though haunted by a shattered past, she is irresistibly drawn to the man who holds
00:00:36her life in his powerful hands. When an old enemy emerges with a thirst for revenge, Mia and Luca
00:00:43are forced to navigate a treacherous maze of betrayal and bloodshed. With their very survival
00:00:48at stake, they must confront the darkness consuming them. Chapter One. Mia's Pov.
00:00:57I glance at the clock, and it's already 1 a.m. I'm moving to New York tomorrow. And I'm too
00:01:04worried, about everything. I end up thinking about my past, my... broken life. My parents
00:01:12passed away in a car accident, and I still remember it too. This day. I was there, and I
00:01:19was the only one that survived. My shitty abusive ex cheated on me, after being with me for four
00:01:25years. I must have drifted off to sleep, because I woke up to a loud... banging on my door.
00:01:33Emma, that bitch has the key to my apartment. But never uses it. I open the door to see Emma
00:01:40grinning with two coffees. In her hand. Took you long enough bitch, she said stomping into my...
00:01:47living room. You could have used the key, I tell her. That would be no fun. Besides,
00:01:54you should be awake by now. I shrug my shoulders and sit beside her on the couch.
00:02:00I still can't believe you're leaving me, Emma said, looking at me with... puppy eyes. Emma
00:02:06was my best friend since high school. She was there for... me when my parents died, and when I
00:02:13cried for a month after I found out Jake was cheating on me. I had to leave. This place has
00:02:19too many bad memories for me. I'll miss you a lot, Em, I said. But you'll come visit me, right?
00:02:27Duh. But if you don't call me every day, I'm dragging your sexy ass back here.
00:02:32After laughing and crying, I finally get dressed. I don't need a shower because I had one last
00:02:38night. I put on a comfy hoodie and leggings. Emma helped me put my bags in her car as I looked
00:02:45around my apartment one last time. This was my first apartment and I loved it here. I locked
00:02:51the door and got into the passenger seat while Emma started the car. The drive to the airport
00:02:56was silent, and I was carried away with my own thoughts.
00:03:00What are you thinking so hard about? Emma asked.
00:03:05I'm just nervous, I replied with a weak smile.
00:03:08Everything will be fine, babe. You already have two interviews, and everyone knows you're the
00:03:14best assistant anyone could have. What if I don't like it there? Then you can come back anytime.
00:03:22You've always wanted to leave. Plus the change will be good for you,
00:03:26she said putting her hand over mine. While you're there you should find yourself a man,
00:03:30fall in love, have sex and all those stuff, she said smirking.
00:03:34I playfully slap her shoulder, laughing. You know I don't have time for them, Em.
00:03:41Oh come on, Mia, we both know it's time for you to have some fun. Stop being so serious all the
00:03:47time. We soon arrived at the airport and said goodbye, shedding a few tears. Remember what I
00:03:53told you. Emma screamed at me before leaving. That bitch really drives me crazy. I was happy
00:04:01and very very anxious. The flight was boring, and I slept through most of it. Once we landed,
00:04:08reality hit me and I started getting butterflies.
00:04:11Would I fit in? I had the worst of luck in bosses, both of my past bosses were assholes,
00:04:17ordering me around to do this and that and looking at me with perverted eyes.
00:04:22I pushed all the thoughts aside and tried to get a cab. New York was beautiful. I watched the people
00:04:28buzzing as they went home from work, some hand in hand with their lovers, others giggling and
00:04:33laughing with their friends. I loved the atmosphere. We soon arrived at the hotel I had booked,
00:04:39and the receptionist gave me a small key. I opened the door to my room, and it looked so comfy.
00:04:46There was a king-sized bed in the middle, with a bedside table and lamp. The room was dimly lit,
00:04:52but I could see the beige-colored walls and small paintings on them. I quickly took a shower
00:04:57before climbing into bed. I had two interviews the next day, and I was tired as hell.
00:05:03Lucas POV. Vito is giving trouble again. I haven't been able to sleep well for four days
00:05:10in a row now thanks to his crying and fussing at night. I really should hire a babysitter.
00:05:17Maria, my housemaid, has looked after him when I was out, but I know she is busy and has many
00:05:22things to do. She is getting old too, and looking after Vito means you need a lot of energy.
00:05:29He is quite a troublesome little boy, but I love him nonetheless.
00:05:33Diego, I called my personal guard and assistant. Capo, find me a babysitter for Vito.
00:05:42The sooner the better. Yes, boss.
00:05:47Chapter 2. Mia's POV. I woke up at 3 a.m. covered in sweat,
00:05:53and my head hurt. It was another nightmare. Ever since the accident, I had them almost every night
00:06:00and it never failed to scare me. I decided to get ready for the day. After putting on some
00:06:06light makeup, I walked out to where my outfit was laid on the bed. I went for a light pink blouse
00:06:12with a black skirt. After a cup of coffee, I was at my first interview. The receptionist
00:06:19greeted me with a warm smile, and I was soon called into the room. The boss was probably
00:06:24around 40 with brown eyes and dirty blonde hair. He had a light stubble, and he looked at me with
00:06:30no emotion on his face. So, Miss Beaumont, may I ask you which post you're applying for, he asked
00:06:36after some time. I'm applying for the personal assistant post, sir, I replied with a small smile.
00:06:43Oh, I'm sorry, miss, but you are a bit late. We just found someone. It was nice meeting you,
00:06:50though. I understand. Thank you, sir. I walked out of his office feeling like shit.
00:06:57Where was I gonna find another job? I came across a job opening, and now I was waiting for my
00:07:04interview. I had decided that if I didn't get it, I probably would have to work as a waiter or
00:07:10something until I find a decent job. I walked into a large office and looked up at a man who
00:07:17looked like he was in his mid-thirties. He didn't look so friendly, but he seemed professional and
00:07:22better than my old bosses. Have a seat, Miss Beaumont, he said. So, how long have you worked
00:07:29as a personal assistant? About two and a half years, sir. I was becoming nervous,
00:07:35and he probably could have noticed it. You see, Miss Beaumont, I am a very busy man,
00:07:42and my business is not very small. Oh, yeah, so he's arrogant. Cool. So, I need someone with at
00:07:50least four years of experience. I'm sorry, Miss Beaumont. I understand, sir, I said, but I was
00:07:57punching him in my head. He didn't even look over my resume. What's with all the experience?
00:08:04I'm good at what I do, and my work speaks for itself. So part-time job it is. Sighing,
00:08:11I leave his room and sit on one of the couches trying to think of what to do.
00:08:16The elevators opened, and a young man walked in smiling at the receptionist.
00:08:21I watched her giggle. He must have something funny. At least y'all have jobs, I mutter under
00:08:27my breath. I overhear the man saying something about his boss asking him to hire a babysitter.
00:08:34A babysitter? Would that be better than working at some random restaurant?
00:08:39I mean, I love kids, and I used to help look after Emma's niece when she came to visit.
00:08:44Before I knew it, I was walking towards them. Hey, um, I didn't mean to eavesdrop,
00:08:51but I heard something about a babysitter. Oh, yeah, my boss is looking for a babysitter.
00:08:57Why? Are you interested? The man said slightly smiling. Yeah, I think I want to apply for it.
00:09:05His eyes sparkled once he heard those words and quickly said, I'll let the boss know.
00:09:10Please wait here. I have to make a phone call. He soon went to a corner murmuring into his phone
00:09:16before coming back to me. Boss says he would like to meet you tomorrow if that's okay.
00:09:22I nodded and gave him his number. I was in my bed wondering if it was the right thing to do.
00:09:29Maybe it won't be so bad after all.
00:09:34Chapter 3. Lucas POV.
00:09:38Diego just called me. I'm quite surprised he found a babysitter so fast. It's only been a day.
00:09:45Capo, Diego nodded at me. Run a background check on that babysitter girl. What's her name again?
00:09:53M.I.A, sir. Vito is growing older each day, and although he's still two months old,
00:09:59he's still a lot to handle. I smiled at the little boy in his crib and kissed his forehead.
00:10:05I was sitting in my office when Diego came in, handing me a file. Here you go, Capo. Thank you.
00:10:14I opened the file, and the first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful girl in the picture.
00:10:19She had light hazel eyes, and they were the prettiest. I learned that her parents passed
00:10:24away, and she doesn't have any siblings. After finding out she was clean, I went back to my work.
00:10:31M.I.A's POV. Diego, the young man from yesterday, came to pick me up.
00:10:37We passed a big gate after Diego nodded at the two guards there.
00:10:41I could feel my eyes widen as I stared at the big mansion. There were guards everywhere,
00:10:46I guess the man loved his security. We walked into a beautiful room with marble floors and
00:10:52white walls. There was a huge staircase that led upstairs. To say I was in awe would be an
00:10:58understatement. It was so pretty. He took me to what seemed like an office. Sitting behind the
00:11:05desk was a young man with brown hair, slightly ruffled. He looked hot. He looked up and I met
00:11:11his blue-gray eyes. I think I got caught in the moment, I didn't see Diego gesturing me to go in.
00:11:19Luca's POV. She's here, Diego said as she walked in. I must have zoned out for a moment,
00:11:26because I didn't notice Diego talking.
00:11:29Boss? I'm sorry, what were you saying? I was just asking if you need anything else.
00:11:36No, you may leave. Once again, I met her beautiful eyes. She had wavy brown hair that fell to her
00:11:43waist. She was built small and her body was perfect. The skirt she was wearing accentuated
00:11:49her curves. I found myself imagining how it would be like to touch every inch of that body.
00:11:56Get a grip, Luca. Have a seat, Miss Beaumont. She nodded and sat in front of me.
00:12:03So as you may know I am a businessman and a single father. I probably didn't need to say that,
00:12:09but it slipped my tongue. My son is only two months old and I can't really spend a lot of
00:12:15time at home. May I ask where you are staying? At a hotel, sir, she replied. Her voice was like honey
00:12:23and I started imaging her screaming my name out loud. Oh Luca, she's your babysitter. Stop
00:12:30drooling over her. I um have a request. I have to work till late at night and sometimes I am
00:12:37required at the office at unruly hours. I was wondering if you could stay here? I have many
00:12:43spare bedrooms and you can choose whichever one you want. Maybe that was a bit straightforward
00:12:49but it's true. I need someone to be close to Vito 24-7. Mia's Pav. Wait, did my boss-to-be just
00:12:58ask me to move in with him? Also he's a single father, interesting. You don't have to decide
00:13:05right away, but please let me know by Saturday at the latest. Thank you, sir. I'll think about it.
00:13:13Please call me Luca, he said holding out his hand. I returned the gesture and shook his hand.
00:13:19Diego took me back to the hotel. I'm running out of money and this seems to be my only option for
00:13:26now. If I can't find a job by Saturday, I guess I'll be a babysitter. I mean my boss is really
00:13:33really hot just saying and my pay is great. I probably will make more than what my previous
00:13:39bosses paid me. I honestly don't get paid my worth. It is now 10 a.m. Tired, I slip off my
00:13:47clothes and take a warm bath. After binge-watching Netflix, I finally fall asleep. I may or may not
00:13:53have dreamt about a certain blue-eyed man who was hot as fuck. Luca's POV. I lay in bed thinking
00:14:01about a certain hazel-eyed girl. She was even more beautiful in person. The pictures did her
00:14:07no justice. I hope she takes the job. I really need a babysitter and for some strange reason
00:14:14I really want it to be her. I have never been interested in any woman, not even Vito's mother.
00:14:21Something about MIA was just different. I can't put my finger on it.
00:14:28Chapter 4. Luca's POV. It was Saturday and I found myself waiting for her to call.
00:14:36What the hell is wrong with me? I need to focus. I tried my best to finish my work quickly so I
00:14:43could meet Vito as soon as possible. I was on my way home when my phone rang.
00:14:49Hello, Mr. D'Angelo. It's MIA, a small voice said through the phone and I smiled a little
00:14:55knowing it's her. Oh yes, Miss Beaumont, have you decided? Please call me MIA. I would like to take
00:15:03the job if it is still available. Of course. Diego will pick you up at 4 tomorrow if that's okay.
00:15:11Yes, that will be fine. Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow. I ended the call feeling
00:15:17somewhat happy and excited. I was finally going to see her again.
00:15:23MIA's POV. Today is the day I move into my new home. I hope I do well. I'm currently on the car
00:15:32after Diego picked me up. We pass the big gates and the huge mansion comes into view.
00:15:38Never have I imagined living in such a beautiful place.
00:15:42Luca is waiting for me at the door, and Diego helps me with the bags.
00:15:46We climb up the stairs and there is a corridor with rooms on both sides.
00:15:51These are the guest bedrooms, the room at the end is mine and this is Vito's nursery.
00:15:56He's sleeping now, but I'll introduce you when he wakes up. I'll give you some time to settle down
00:16:02before I show you around. You can choose any room you want. Maria, my housemaid will help you.
00:16:09And with that, Luca walks away. Thank you, I managed to say.
00:16:14I chose the room closest to the nursery. I'm going to have to look after little Vito after all.
00:16:21I decide to take unpack a bit and take a shower. I wear a sweater with some leggings. I love comfy
00:16:29outfits. I don't even like to wear much makeup. I'm lying on my bed when I hear a knock on the
00:16:35door. Come in, I say getting up and sitting on the edge of my bed. Luca comes in looking handsome
00:16:42as ever. He's wearing black slacks with a white dress shirt. His hair is still a bit wet. He must
00:16:49have had a shower too. As if on cue, we hear crying from the nursery. And that would be Vito,
00:16:56Luca says chuckling. God, his voice is sexy. We go to the nursery and I am greeted by a little
00:17:03boy with blue eyes bawling his eyes out. Luca picks him up and tries to calm him down, but Vito
00:17:09thrashes in his arms. Luca's POV. May I, her sweet voice asked. Sure, here you go, I said handing
00:17:18Vito to her. I watched as Vito stopped crying in her arms and nuzzled into her chest. She giggled
00:17:25and cooed. You're a cute little boy. We managed to put Vito to sleep again. You're good with him.
00:17:32I think he likes you. She smiles. Her smile is the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.
00:17:39I showed her around the house and we get to the kitchen just in time for dinner.
00:17:44We sit and the other guys walk in. Matteo, this is Vito's babysitter. MIA, this is my brother Matteo.
00:17:53Hi, MIA said with a small smile. So you're the one who's looking after the little devil.
00:18:00Good luck with that, Matteo says and I glare at him. He likes to call me the devil and my son
00:18:07the little devil. Well, he's not wrong. I am cold-hearted when it comes to business,
00:18:13but that's because I don't show much emotion. When you are in my line of work, you'd understand.
00:18:19Feelings are seen as weaknesses. And you have already met Diego. I say nodding to him.
00:18:27They smile at each other and we start eating. MIA's Pav. We eat in comfortable silence and
00:18:34Matteo cracks a joke once in a while making us laugh. I guess he's the outgoing type. Luca seems
00:18:41like he keeps to himself though. He doesn't talk much during the meal. Once we're all done, I help
00:18:47Maria tidy up the dishes. She said I didn't have to, but I insisted. I fed Vito and he was a good
00:18:55little boy. Most children would make a fuss about their food, but he was so obedient. I was about to
00:19:02walk into my room when Luca called out for me. I turned to him and raised my eyebrows gesturing him
00:19:08to continue. I have to leave. There are some problems at work. I hope you don't mind looking
00:19:15after Vito tonight. He should be asleep soon as it's his bedtime soon. I'm sorry to request this
00:19:21on your first day. Yeah sure. I was going to give him a bath anyways. I'll tuck him in. Thank you.
00:19:31I pick up a smiling Vito from his crib and look out the window. Luca is leaving with Matteo and
00:19:37Diego. He is ordering something to the other men before driving off. I bathe the little boy
00:19:44and sing a lullaby so he would sleep. Although Luca is very kind and friendly to me, I noticed
00:19:51that most of his workers and men respected him. Some even seemed to be scared of him. He does
00:19:57radiate dominance and confidence, but there's something more special and mysterious about him.
00:20:03I finally made it to my room and feeling a bit tired drift off to sleep.
00:20:07Chapter 5 Mia's Pov
00:20:13It's been about two weeks as Vito's babysitter. He's behaved really well so far. He was now on
00:20:20my lap playing with my hair, something he likes to do when I carry him. Luca has been busy.
00:20:26I haven't seen him much. He would leave early after greeting Vito and come home late. He was
00:20:33home for dinner some days, and we would usually get to know each other while watching Vito.
00:20:39I'm currently sitting on my bed, after surfing Netflix for half an hour and finding nothing
00:20:44interesting to watch. I decide to FaceTime Emma. Bitch, I was just about to call you.
00:20:51Emma says, cheerful as always. Haha, sorry, I haven't called lately. How are you doing?
00:20:58Ah, the usual. My boss is no good. He's been making me work more these days.
00:21:05You should just quit that lousy job. You deserve better than that, Emma.
00:21:10How about you? How's Mr. Hot Guy? I had told Emma about my new job, and of course had to
00:21:17tell her my boss was quite attractive. Okay, maybe not quite but very. She squealed in excitement
00:21:24when I told her, and she probably gave me a long scolding when I said I would keep things
00:21:28professional. He's okay. I replied shrugging my shoulders. We talked for a while, and Emma told
00:21:36me about a guy she met at the club. Emma was the more spontaneous friend. I never liked clubs,
00:21:43and I haven't had any relationships since the cheating incident two years ago. I just never
00:21:49trusted anyone enough to let them it. Being betrayed by Damien after being together for four
00:21:55years hurt me so much. I remember the day I walked into his room to see him fucking a blonde-haired
00:22:01slut. He claimed it was a mistake, and he would never do it again. But of course, I found out he
00:22:08had been sleeping around with girls the whole time. I thought maybe he was the one. I've never
00:22:14had sex with anyone, not even Damien. He hit me a few times when he was drunk or angry, but thank
00:22:21God he didn't harass me or something. He never did treat me right. I was just too blind to see.
00:22:28It took me so long to realize how pathetic I must have looked. I hate him so much, but I hated the
00:22:34betrayal the most. I can't stand seeing people cheat on their partners, and I'm still too afraid
00:22:40to love someone again. Lucas POV. I've been so busy with work that I haven't been able to spend
00:22:46much time with my baby boy. I hope he hasn't been giving too much trouble to M.I.A. M.I.A.,
00:22:53this girl has creeped into my head since the day I met her. She's beautiful, and I find myself
00:22:59falling for her each day. She has the prettiest smile and the most beautiful laugh. I can tell
00:23:05she has grown attached to Vito, and so has he. We talked a couple of times about life in general,
00:23:11and she has such a beautiful and caring heart. Diego, let's go home. I need some sleep. I'm
00:23:19tired as fuck, and I really need a good rest. It's late and everyone must be asleep. I walk
00:23:25through the quiet corridors and to my room. I'm about to turn the doorknob when I hear a scream
00:23:31and muffled cries from Mia's room. I rush in the room to find her crying in her sleep,
00:23:36she must have had a nightmare. She was shaking and covered in sweat. M.I.A., wake up. It's just
00:23:44a nightmare. Wake up. M.I.A. She opened her eyes and looked at me. She was still shaking when I
00:23:52took her into my arms. I ran my hand up and down her back, trying to calm her down. Shush. It's okay.
00:24:01You're okay now. We stayed like that for a while. She finally looked up at me with tear-streaked
00:24:07cheeks. I'm sorry. Did I wake you up, she asked apologetically. No, no. I just got back. Are you
00:24:17okay? She nodded silently, looking down. Hey. It's okay. Do you wanna talk about it?
00:24:27I just have these nightmares since my parents died. I was in the accident with them but they
00:24:32managed to push me out before the car fell in the river. I can't get the scene out of my head
00:24:38since then. I'm so sorry, I say holding her shaking hands. She gave me a small smile.
00:24:45I notice her yawn so I tell her you should go back to sleep. Just as I was about to walk away
00:24:51she grabs my hand. Can you stay with me? I'm scared. I can see the fear in her eyes. I've
00:24:59never seen her like this. It breaks my heart. I nod and tell her. I'll just be a minute.
00:25:07I'm gonna change. Mia's Pov. I watched as Luca walked out and came back in a t-shirt and sweatpants.
00:25:15He climbed onto the other side of the bed and turned to me. Have they always been this bad?
00:25:22He asked. Sometimes, I said sighing. Having him near me gave me comfort. I didn't want him to
00:25:30leave me. Luca put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. I rested my head on his chest
00:25:37and soon fell asleep listening to his heartbeat. Luca's Pov. I watched as the beautiful woman
00:25:44beside me fell asleep. She looked so peaceful unlike a few minutes ago. I'm falling for her
00:25:51and I'm falling really, really hard. I want to keep her safe, protect her and I don't want her
00:25:56to know who I really am. I'm not really proud of being in the Mafia and I will try my best to keep
00:26:03her away from it. She's so good with Vito. He was so fussy before but now he doesn't even cry much.
00:26:10Even if he does, MIA can calm him down in three minutes. It takes me more than ten minutes.
00:26:17That little fox. He loves playing with her hair and smiles whenever she picks him up.
00:26:23I slowly caress her face and it's so soft. She looks like an angel. Her lips slightly parted
00:26:31and her long eyelashes fanning her cheeks. I've never slept with anyone. I've only had sex with
00:26:37some whores and sent them away as soon as we were done. Sleeping beside MIA was something I
00:26:43could get used to. It didn't take long before sleep consumed me too. Chapter Six. I woke up
00:26:52to a heavy weight on my stomach. I looked around and Luca's hand was wrapped tightly around me.
00:26:58I almost forgot that Luca stayed the night. My cheeks had just begun to heat up when Luca spoke.
00:27:05Morning beautiful. I blushed even harder. I must be as red as a tomato at this point.
00:27:12How are you today? His raspy morning voice was hot and I felt the butterflies in my stomach.
00:27:19Better you? I managed to ask. Great, he replied beaming. I'm too embarrassed so I get up and walk
00:27:27to the bathroom. After having a warm shower, I walked back into the room. Luca was no longer
00:27:34there. He must have gone to shower too. Just as I walked out the door to go down for breakfast,
00:27:40I bumped into a hard chest. I looked up to see Luca smirking. I feel my cheeks heat up and
00:27:47murmur a quick sorry before walking away. I came to get you, he said. I just nodded and he chuckled.
00:27:55Maria had made pancakes and we ate in comfortable silence. I was so embarrassed this morning I didn't
00:28:02even notice Luca was dressed in an all-black suit, hair slicked back with gel. He looked amazing.
00:28:08Yep, I was definitely drooling. He caught me checking him out and smirked. I smiled sheepishly
00:28:15and loaded the dishes into the dishwasher. I'll be home late today, Luca says coming towards me.
00:28:22I just nodded. I'm gonna go check on Vito. I opened the door to the nursery and sure enough
00:28:29the little boy was awake and reaching his arms towards me. I was feeding him when Luca walked
00:28:35in. He kissed Vito's forehead and said goodbye before turning to me. I'll see you later then.
00:28:43Okay. Have a nice day. I called out as he left the room.
00:28:47Chapter 7. Three Weeks Later
00:28:53Mia's Pov. The past few weeks have been pretty eventful. I was becoming pretty close with the
00:29:00guys. Diego has been around and he's a pretty cool guy. He's dating the girl he had a conversation
00:29:07about the babysitter job with. I pity the girl working for that uptight boss. Matteo is the
00:29:14crackhead of the family. He's always making fun of us. I also met Luca's little sister.
00:29:21She's about the same age as Emma and yep they would be great friends if they met.
00:29:26They're so alike I sometimes think it's Emma in disguise. I miss her. Don't get me wrong,
00:29:32I love Bria but I miss my bestie. Bria took me shopping but remind me not to go with her again.
00:29:39She dragged me through lots of stores I had a splitting headache that day.
00:29:43I'm now sitting in the kitchen with Bria and Matteo. We're eating the cupcakes and talking
00:29:49about random stuff. It's late and Vito is already asleep. Matteo is talking about a random girl he
00:29:56met. Luca isn't home yet and I'm having a weird feeling like something might go wrong. The door
00:30:03burst open suddenly and Diego walked in limping while trying to drag Luca in. Luca was covered in
00:30:09blood. Luca's POV. The Russians play dirty. Antonov sent his men to shoot me at my office.
00:30:18Very clean move. The Russians are one of the biggest mafia groups in the world
00:30:23but obviously I'm the most powerful and I have more men and allies. Nobody likes the Russians
00:30:29and they're really messy when they do work. Anyways it was late and I was still at my
00:30:35office alone doing work. There was security around the perimeter and Diego was somewhere
00:30:41in the building. I don't know how but the Russians managed to break in and yeah there was a shootout.
00:30:47Diego was shot in the leg and well I was shot twice but non-life-threatening.
00:30:52We managed to make it home in seven minutes. Diego opened the door revealing a very surprised
00:30:58Bria sitting with Matteo. I also spotted a very very shocked MIA who was frozen at her spot.
00:31:06Damn it. Now I'll have to explain what I do and how I got hurt. I don't want to scare her away.
00:31:12What if she runs away from me? What if she hates me? God no no. She can't leave me and Vito.
00:31:21I care too much to let her go. Shit. I muttered under my breath. I messed up big time.
00:31:28Her eyes went wide from realization and she rushed over to my side. Oh my god Luca. Are you okay?
00:31:37What happened? Are you hurt? How did this happen? Oh gosh. It's probably gonna hurt a lot.
00:31:45Shouldn't we call an ambulance? Bria get an ambulance. She screamed at Bria.
00:31:51Whoa whoa slow down. I'm fine. It's just a little wound. And no we don't need an ambulance. I have
00:31:59a friend who's a doctor and he lives right down the street. Don't worry I'll be fine. And that's
00:32:05a lot of questions. Give me time to breathe. I chuckled but winced at the pain in my side.
00:32:12MIA noticed this and started examining me getting her hands all covered in my blood.
00:32:18No you're not okay. Wait are these bullets? What the? Just then Antonio our doctor walked in and
00:32:26ordered some of my men to take us to the medical room. I'll explain later. I promise. I mouthed at
00:32:33MIA as I was dragged away. Chapter 8. Mia's Pov. What the hell is going on? How did Luca get shot?
00:32:45He was badly injured. I'm worried out of my mind right now but I'm also confused as fuck. I noticed
00:32:51that Bria and Matteo were calmer than I thought. As if it was nothing special no no no that can't
00:32:57be. How can bullet wounds be normal to anyone? Can someone explain what the heck I just saw?
00:33:04I asked as they took Luca into the the so-called medical room I didn't even knew existed. Um Mia
00:33:11are you okay? You don't look so good Bria asked completely ignoring something. Yeah definitely
00:33:18fishy. I'm fine. I'm just worried about Luca and Diego I quickly added in case they get the wrong
00:33:26idea. Rome will be fine. Relax Matteo said with a twinkle in his eye. I just nod and sit at the
00:33:34stool by the kitchen counter. The doctor whose name was Antonio or something came out of the room
00:33:40and told us Luca would wake up soon. Bria pushed me towards the room as she and Matteo just walked
00:33:46up to their rooms. Yep they definitely knew something was going on between their brother
00:33:52and me. I slowly walked into the room as some men helped Diego out. I asked him if he was okay
00:33:59and he told me not to worry before going away. Luca lay on the bed with his eyes closed. He
00:34:06looked so calm. There was an IV line connected to his arm and his chest rose and fell gently.
00:34:12I sat down beside him taking his hand in mine and rubbing circles between his thumb and index
00:34:18finger. I was admiring his beautiful features up close when his eyes fluttered open. He looked
00:34:24straight at me with an expression I can't comprehend. Unable to hold his stare I look
00:34:30away towards his waist and stomach where the wounds were. How are you feeling? I asked.
00:34:36Like I've been hit by a bus. He chuckled and smirked. Knowing he was hiding something I didn't
00:34:43ask him more. I was very curious but I wanted him to tell me when he was ready. The doctor said that
00:34:50you need to have some bed rest for like two weeks. Two weeks? Luca asked groaning. Yeah he said you
00:34:59can go back to your bedroom if you'd like. I'll help you. Sure. Luca led me to his bedroom and I
00:35:06opened the door. There was a huge glass window on one side with a view of the small forest behind
00:35:12the house. There was a stream in the distance and it was so pretty. He had a large king-sized bed
00:35:18in the middle with a luxurious couch on one side of the room. I saw two doors which looked like it
00:35:24led to the bathroom and closet. Wow I said staring at the view. Luca just smiled as I helped him on
00:35:31the bed. You like the view? He asked. Yeah it's beautiful. I could look at it all day. Me too.
00:35:43Chapter 9. Mia's Pov. Luca soon fell asleep and I went to clean up and take a shower.
00:35:51It's been one hell of a night and I'm just glad Luca's okay. Vito woke up once but I managed to
00:35:57put him back to sleep. I slept on the couch in Luca's room making sure he got everything he
00:36:02needed. It is the next day and Luca is still asleep. I'm currently on my way to get him breakfast.
00:36:10He was already awake when I reached his room and we ate in comfortable silence. I was cleaning up
00:36:16the dishes and was going to clean the room when he stopped me. Luca's Pov. Mia I called after her.
00:36:26Yeah do you need anything? She asked walking towards the bed. No no I just wanted to talk to
00:36:34you. I said patting the empty side of my bed motioning for her to sit. Sure. Once she had
00:36:41settled down beside me I took her hands in mine and looked into her eyes. Thank you for staying
00:36:48by my side and looking after me. You must be tired having to look after Vito too. It's nothing she
00:36:55said shyly. No really. Thank you. I also know you have a lot of questions and I think it's time you
00:37:03know. I look at her to see her reaction and getting the permission to continue I said.
00:37:09I live a life I'm not very proud of especially what I do. As you already know I own a lot of
00:37:16businesses and um not all of them are how would you say legal. She was silent and just looking
00:37:23at me so I just blurt out. I'm in the mafia. She didn't say anything for a while. Mia are you okay?
00:37:34Please say something I said with pleading eyes. Um yeah yeah. I'm okay. I just that was a lot to
00:37:42take in. I. Hey hey it's okay. I get it. I tried to keep it from you because I wasn't proud of it.
00:37:51I just didn't want you to see this side of me. I didn't want to disappoint you. Ever since I met
00:37:58you Mia I wanted to be good for you. I'm falling for you Mia. I've never felt this way before.
00:38:07I didn't want you to leave me. I was scared you would be afraid and run away.
00:38:13You matter so much to me. Luca I'm not going to run. I just well I don't know. It's quite a shock
00:38:21for me. That's all. Yeah I get it. You can take your time. I can tell she was still very shocked
00:38:29as she slowly nodded. I'm just going to take the dishes away she said softly and left the room.
00:38:37Gosh did I scare her. Is she disappointed in me? Will she still want to see me? Mia's paw.
00:38:45I'm in the mafia. Luca's words were repeating in my head. The seriousness of it just registered
00:38:52in my brain. Does he kill people? Oh my god. Does he actually? No he can't right? He's not
00:39:01that kind of person. He just confessed his feelings for me though. My heart swelled at
00:39:06the thought. Am I ready to be in a relationship with a mafia man? Part of me was scared but part
00:39:14of me was telling me to let him in. I saw the sincerity in Luca's eyes and I know he meant it
00:39:20when he told me he wasn't proud of it and all. I took the dishes to the sink and cleaned up a bit.
00:39:26I thought about what I wanted to do. I honestly have feelings for Luca and there's a certain pull
00:39:33towards him. I really want to give him a chance. I decide to go back to Luca's room. Hey you came
00:39:41back he said sounding cheerful. Why would I not? I asked smiling. He smiled back at me showing all
00:39:49his teeth. He then gestured for me to join him on the bed so I did. How are you feeling? Better
00:39:56but it does hurt. We sat in silence until I asked you don't kill people right? Well no not innocent
00:40:04people unless they harm our family or business. We don't. Okay as long as he doesn't go around
00:40:12killing people I guess that's fine. I was so into my thoughts I didn't notice Luca had fallen asleep
00:40:19hugging me. I stayed for a while before going to check up on Vito and feed him. Luca was still
00:40:26asleep when I went back so I joined him. Chapter 10. Luca's POV. It's been more than two weeks
00:40:35since I was injured and I'm now fully recovered. MIA has been so helpful. She took good care of me
00:40:42and I swear she spent more time in my room than hers not that I'm complaining. I love having her
00:40:48close to me. There was a break-in at one of our warehouses. It's probably Antonov Diego says.
00:40:56We were having a meeting in my office and it seems like the Russians are causing trouble.
00:41:01We have their men. They're in the cells Matteo said. Okay you know what to do. Question them
00:41:09then send Nikolai a message. My men are the best when it comes to torture and questioning
00:41:15but we do it reasonably. We don't use violence unless necessary. I miss MIA and my little boy
00:41:23so that's where I'm going. Vito was in Mia's arms when I went in his nursery. My boy loves to play
00:41:29with her hair and I don't blame him. MIA has the most beautiful hair and it's super soft.
00:41:36Seeing them like this makes my heart swell. I could get used to this scene. I know they have
00:41:42that mother-son connection probably because she has been like a mother to Vito. I know they love
00:41:48each other a lot and so do I. I'm falling in love with this woman and I will soon make her mine.
00:41:54Hey guys I said as MIA cooed at the beaming boy. Oh hey I didn't notice you come in.
00:42:01You're home early. Yeah can I take you out for dinner tonight? Sure. Okay we're leaving at 7.30.
00:42:12Wear something nice. With that I left her to go get ready. I already asked Maria to look after Vito
00:42:20so that's not a problem. MIA's POV. It's currently 6.30 so I have like an hour to get ready.
00:42:28I took a shower, shaved and did the necessities. I went with a soft glam makeup look with a little
00:42:34eye shadow and blush. I curled my hair in long loose curls and called Bria over to help me pick
00:42:40an outfit. After rummaging through my closet for several minutes we decided on a black dress with
00:42:46spaghetti straps and side slit showing off my legs. I put it on and chose some black heels to
00:42:52go with it. I turned and checked myself out in the mirror. The dress hugged my curves nicely and I
00:42:59felt confident. At exactly 7.30 Luca knocked on my door and walked into the room. He stopped in
00:43:06his tracks before coming to me. You look beautiful Tesoro, he said before giving me a sweet kiss on
00:43:12my cheek. I could feel my cheeks heat up instantly as he took my hand leading me downstairs. He opened
00:43:19the door to his Audi R8 and I was in awe. Wow! The interior was so luxurious. Luca chuckled at
00:43:28my reaction and started the engine. Where are we going? I ask. It's a secret, he said taking
00:43:37my hand and resting it on his lap. I felt the butterflies again. We arrived at a very nice
00:43:43Italian restaurant with glass chandeliers glistening in the dim golden lights. Luca?
00:43:50How nice to see you, a middle-aged woman with dark brown hair rushed to us and hugged Luca.
00:43:56Hello Alina, how have you been? Good good. Who's this gorgeous lady? Oh, this is Mia, Vito's
00:44:04babysitter. Hello dear, I'm Alina. I'm very close to Luca's mother since he was a little boy.
00:44:12Come on in. We've prepared a nice little table just for you. Thank you. Once we were settled,
00:44:19a waiter brought some wine and soon our food was served. Everyone here seems to know you.
00:44:25Is this yours? I ask Luca. Yeah, you like it? It's amazing. The food is delicious too. I've
00:44:35always dreamed of having a restaurant like this one day. We had some wine and talked a little
00:44:40about ourselves. Luca told me about being the capo, or don or whatever they call it,
00:44:46and I was slightly shocked. I still can't believe I'm in love with a mafia leader,
00:44:51not just any mafia leader, but the mafia king. So Luca, what are we I mean, what are we now,
00:44:57if this is a date? Is it? Luca took my hand and brought it to his lips making me blush again.
00:45:05Anything you want us to be Mia, Cara? I just stared at him not knowing what to say.
00:45:11I brought you here today to thank you for looking after me while I was hurt.
00:45:16The main reason is this. He looked deep into my eyes before saying,
00:45:20Mia Beaumont, will you be my woman and stay by my side? I melted at his words and said,
00:45:27yes. He beamed and got up to kiss my forehead. You're amazing, you know that? Luca said to me.
00:45:36We enjoyed the rest of our dinner, having more wine and laughing, just enjoying the night.
00:45:41Thank you for tonight. I enjoyed it, I tell Luca as we walk to our room.
00:45:47I was about to go in when he grasped my hand, pulling me closer to his chest. Stay with me
00:45:53tonight. Chapter 11
00:45:57Mia's Pov A week later,
00:46:01I woke up to the sun shining directly on my face. I forgot to close the curtains last night.
00:46:08You! I don't want to get out of bed. After tossing and turning, I eventually got up to
00:46:14take a shower and get ready for the day. I got dressed in Luca's hoodie that he left in my room
00:46:20the other day he slept here. I put on some biker shorts and put my hair up in a messy bun.
00:46:27Similar outfit above Carrot. Vito is awake and waving his arms at me.
00:46:33He is over 3 months now and he wants to be carried every time he sees me.
00:46:38We go to Luca's room and find him snoring lightly, his back towards the door.
00:46:43Your daddy's asleep. Let's go make breakfast, I whisper to Vito. Maria hasn't been able to come
00:46:50her lately since her husband has cancer and she has to look after him. I put Vito in his chair
00:46:57and gather the ingredients to make some breakfast burritos.
00:47:01Luca's Pov. It's currently 8am and I just got out of the shower. I have a few meetings with
00:47:08my allies to catch up on our deals and discuss the Russians. I picked out a dark grey suit with
00:47:14a white shirt underneath. I was walking towards the kitchen when I hear singing. I stand at the
00:47:21doorway watching Mia sing while cooking and feeding Vito. He was dancing in his seat smiling
00:47:27away. Such a sight to see. I love this woman heart and soul. Morning Bella. Mia jumped from
00:47:35my voice and laughed. Good morning. You scared me. How long were you standing there? Not long.
00:47:44What are you making? Burritos. As if on cue, the boys enter. Um. I smell food,
00:47:52Matteo says as he hopped into the kitchen. The guys have always been late but they come early
00:47:58now because they don't want to miss Mia's cooking. Mia hands us our plates and we eat in appreciation.
00:48:05These are the best burritos I've ever had, Diego says and Mia chuckles as I shake my head smiling.
00:48:13Thank you baby, I tell Mia and give her a kiss on her forehead as she sits beside me.
00:48:19I feed a giggling Vito while Matteo makes funny faces at him.
00:48:23Bria is on vacation so it's just the four of us and the guards. The meetings finish early and I
00:48:29go home to my beautiful girlfriend. She is reading on the couch with a blanket draped over her.
00:48:36Vito is sleeping in his Moses basket and Mia pits a finger on her lips telling me to speak softly.
00:48:43You're home early. How was your day, she whispers. Great. How about you? It was good but I missed you.
00:48:52Me too. Let's go upstairs and watch a movie, shall we? She nods and I pick her up and put her over
00:48:59my shoulder. She squealed and I picked up Vito's basket and walked up the stairs. I put her on the
00:49:06bed and strip into just boxes. She stares at my torso and I smirk, enjoying the view. I ask making
00:49:14her cheeks turn red. You're adorable, I tell her. We settle down on the bed and turn on the office
00:49:22which is her favorite show. She snuggled closer into my chest and I kiss her head.
00:49:28We finish an episode and she turns to me. Luca? M-M-H-M-M? Can I ask you something?
00:49:37Sure, baby. What is it? Where is Vito's mother? It seemed to have been bothering her and she
00:49:45seemed to be afraid of the answer. I sighed before replying. Before I met you, I used to sleep around
00:49:52with women and well, one of them got pregnant. I asked her what she wanted to do and all, if we
00:49:58should get married but she refused it and said she doesn't want to keep the baby too. MIA looked sad
00:50:04when I said the word married so I quickly continued. So when Vito was born I brought him home
00:50:10and we haven't seen each other since. Last time I heard she was seeing someone and soon getting
00:50:16engaged. I felt guilty telling MIA about sleeping with many women. None of them meant anything to me,
00:50:24MIA. You're the first one to make me feel this way. They were all one night stands. You don't
00:50:30have to worry about anything. She nodded and looked into my eyes. I can't help but admire
00:50:37her beauty as my eyes move to her lips. I lean in closer and soon our lips were locked together.
00:50:44I brought my hand to her waist bringing her closer if possible as she out her arms around my neck
00:50:49bringing my head closer. Our lips moved in sync full of passion and desire. I licked her lower
00:50:55lip asking for permission which she granted. My tongue invaded her mouth exploring as we
00:51:01fighted for dominance. We pulled away after a few seconds totally out of breath. MIA started giggling
00:51:09and I smiled at her before giving her a quick peck on the lips. We spent the rest of the evening
00:51:14together. MIA asked me if her best friend could come visit and of course I said yes.
00:51:22Chapter 12. Mia's Pov. Bitch. I missed you. Emma said dropping her bags and lunging at me.
00:51:31She is a total ball of energy. Ha ha ha take it slow. I missed you too. We were at the airport
00:51:39to pick Emma up. I told Luca he didn't have to come along but he said he wanted to.
00:51:46Ooh is this your Mr. Hadi? Emma asked stressing the ear and gawking at Luca. He just looked at
00:51:52me and shook his head smiling. Okay so Luca, Emma and Emma, Luca. I introduced them and they shook
00:52:00hands. Nice to meet you, Luca says. Likewise, Emma says with a wink. I can see why Mia likes you
00:52:09and you're one lucky man to get my best friend. Treat her right or I'll slit your throat,
00:52:14she says threatening Luca and showing him a cutting motion on her neck. Yes ma'am. I'll keep
00:52:20that in mind, Luca joked. We returned to the house and got her settled in. It was time dinner and I
00:52:27was in Emma's room while she picked a thousand outfits. Luca had promised to take us out and I
00:52:33had already changed and done my makeup. I was wearing a chain embellished teal colored mini
00:52:39dress. After what felt like forever, Emma found a dress and put it on twirling and asking me if I
00:52:45approve. It was a black off-shoulder mini bodycon dress and she looked nice. It was totally her
00:52:52style. Yes bitch, you look good. Can we go now? I whine while curling my hair. I put my hair in a
00:53:00half-up half-down style while Emma did a slick bun with some loose strands framing her face.
00:53:06We went to my room so I could take my purse and just then, Bria stormed in shouting,
00:53:10Mia Beaumont, how dare you not tell me your best friend is here.
00:53:15Eeee, it's so nice to finally meet you, she said gushing over Emma and hugging her.
00:53:21Emma looked at me confused and I shrugged my shoulders asking her,
00:53:25you're not even greet me when you just got back? So um, this is Luca's sister Bria and this is my
00:53:32best friend Emma. I said pointing at each of them. We're so gonna have fun. Come on. The boys are
00:53:40waiting. Bria said pulling us both out the door. Oh god, how am I gonna handle both of them?
00:53:48They're so energetic. We walked down the stairs and Luca was standing waiting there with Matteo.
00:53:55They were both wearing a shirt and some slacks. Vito was in Luca's arms and the Moses basket at
00:54:00their side. Why didn't you tell me that your boyfriend has a hot brother? Emma whispered as
00:54:07we go down. Luca introduces them and takes my hand as I take the basket. Looking as stunning
00:54:14as ever Stellina, Luca said pulling me in for a sweet short kiss. Star. We drove to another of
00:54:21Luca's restaurants and walked into a VIP section. It was a large restaurant on the rooftop of a
00:54:28hotel with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the city. Our table had the best view and I
00:54:34admired the cars as they buzzed through the busy city. Luca put his hand on my thigh making me
00:54:39feel all tingly inside. We all ate happily laughing and just having fun. Emma and Matteo
00:54:46seemed to get along pretty well. She blushed when Matteo complimented her and let me tell you,
00:54:53my best friend does not blush. She likes to have fun but no man has ever made her blush.
00:54:59This is a first for Emma. Vito wiggled in his chair asking me to carry him,
00:55:04so I picked him up and put him on my lap. We need to hit the club. Bria said enthusiastically.
00:55:12You guys go, it's past Vito's bedtime. I need to take him home. Luca said to us.
00:55:19I'll go with you, I told him. You're no fun, Emma said pouting. Hey, you know I don't really do
00:55:26clubs and I'm feeling tired tonight. I say shrugging. The three of them left for the club
00:55:33in Matteo's car and I went home with Luca. Vito was fast asleep in my arms and Luca started
00:55:39talking. My family is coming over this weekend. There's this annual mafia gala thing coming soon.
00:55:47Each year the mafias takes turns hosting it and it's our turn this year. I was meaning to ask you
00:55:53if you'd go with me? To the gala? I would love to, I tell him. His family is coming.
00:56:01Will they like me? How will they react? I started thinking as we passed the big gates.
00:56:08I tucked Vito in bed and decided to sleep in Luca's room tonight. I shower and put on a
00:56:14lace trim cami pajama set and got into his bed. Luca came out of the bathroom in only boxers
00:56:21and sat beside me. We turned on the TV and stayed like that for a while.
00:56:26Luca's POV. MIA is really tempting me with that outfit. It shows off her sexy legs and I can't
00:56:34help but glimpse at her cleavage. I really want to fuck her till she can't walk but I'm controlling
00:56:39myself. I want the first time to be really special. MIA breaks my thought as she says,
00:56:46Luca. We have a problem. What is it baby? I don't have anything to wear to the gala,
00:56:53what am I going to do? I laugh and say, I have a small surprise for you. I take the white box
00:57:00out from beneath the bed and put it on her lap. She looked at me with questioning eyes and I tell
00:57:06her to open it. She untied the blue ribbon and gasped. What is this? I had bought her a beautiful
00:57:14black backless dress with thin straps. I know it would complement her body perfectly. I had to ask
00:57:20my friend Jacqueline to find me some dresses from her boutique so I could choose from them.
00:57:25When I saw this black one I knew I had to take it. MIA's favourite colour is black. She looked
00:57:32at it in awe pulling it against her chest. Oh Luca it's gorgeous. I love it. She sat up and
00:57:40kissed me on the cheek. I bend down and whisper can't wait to see you in it. She smiles at me
00:57:46and folds it back neatly in the box. Thank you. Chapter 13. Luca's POV. It is now Thursday and
00:57:57I'm in Vito's room. Vito is already changed and fed but MIA is nowhere to be seen. I went to the
00:58:05kitchen but she wasn't there either. She must have went back to bed. Weird. I have to do some work in
00:58:12my office so I took my breakfast there. A few hours has passed and there is not a sight of MIA.
00:58:19Something's up. It's not like her to stay in her room all day. I wonder if she's sick. I decide to
00:58:26go to Mia's room and pass Emma on the way. Hey Emma.um have you seen MIA? She's been in her room
00:58:34all day. It's gonna be lunchtime soon. Oh yeah. I was out with Matteo. I didn't know. That's weird.
00:58:44She never stays in her room for that long. I was about to go check when Emma called out Luca.
00:58:51What's the date today? The 27th. Why? Oh it's that day. What day? Um the day MIA's parents
00:59:01passed away. That's why she's like that. She probably won't come down for lunch too. It happens
00:59:08every year. She'll be fine. Emma patted my shoulder and gave me a small smile before going to Matteo's
00:59:15room. Yep she probably spent more time with him than MIA over the past three days. I decide to
00:59:22give MIA some time and join the others for lunch. Once I was done I put her lunch on a tray and
00:59:28walked to her room. I knocked on her room and there was no answer. MIA it's me. I'm coming in
00:59:36okay. I opened the door and MIA was sitting on the bed facing the window. I put her food down on the
00:59:44bedside table and go to sit beside her. Hey she said with a small smile. Hey how are you doing?
00:59:53I asked while tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. I'm okay. She said twirling a tiny
00:59:59trinket in her fingers. Emma told me. I'm so sorry about your parents I say. It's fine. I found this
01:00:08in my parents room after they died. It has my name on it. She said showing me. I never found the
01:00:16courage to open it but I think I should now. It's okay baby. I'm here for you. Okay. She just nodded
01:00:25and opened the trinket. Inside was a folded letter and something else underneath. It was a small
01:00:31necklace with a pendant in the shape of a heart. I held her hand as she opened the letter. Hey um
01:00:39do you want me to leave? I asked her not wanting to intrude her privacy. No no please stay. So I did.
01:00:49She read the letter and started sobbing. Her hands were shaking and I pulled her into a hug comforting
01:00:55her. She calmed down eventually and said I'm I'm. Hey it's okay. Take deep breaths. I said kissing
01:01:03her forehead and rubbing her back. It says that I'm adopted. She gives me the letter to read.
01:01:10I look at her confused and rest her head on my shoulder as I look at the contents of the letter.
01:01:16Dearest MIA. If you find this letter then it is probably time time for what you might ask.
01:01:22Well it's time you know the truth. This may come as a shock. 22 years ago we found a baby all
01:01:29bundled up in a blanket sleeping on our doorstep in Italy. We looked around for signs of the
01:01:35parents but they were nowhere to be found. The only thing we could find was this necklace with
01:01:40your name on it. So that's how we knew your name. Your birthday is engraved inside the heart pendant
01:01:47so we knew you were only two years old. We took you in and loved you like our own. We moved to
01:01:53the states a year later. We will always love you MIA and you will always be our baby girl.
01:02:00As much as we want to hide this truth you will eventually need to know. Once you're an adult
01:02:06I'm sure you'll want to find your real parents. I hope you don't resent them if you do find out who
01:02:11they are. There must be a reason as to why they left you on our doorstep. Judging by the disheveled
01:02:18blanket and clothes it doesn't seem like you were abandoned. I hope you find your answers. We will
01:02:24always love you princess. Love. Mom and Dad. By the time I had finished MIA was calm and had fallen
01:02:32asleep on my shoulder. I laid her on the bed and got in beside her. Her eyelashes fanned her face
01:02:39as her lips were slightly parted. My woman has gone through so much yet she's so strong. I kiss
01:02:45her forehead before pulling her close to me. MIA's Pov. I woke up to see Luca's chest in front of me.
01:02:53I snuggled closer to him as I thought about what had happened. I was adopted. Adopted. Mom and Dad
01:03:01weren't my real parents. That's crazy. What am I supposed to do now? I don't know if I want to find
01:03:09my real parents. Did they not want me? Why did they leave me? I wanted to know. I wanted answers.
01:03:18But how will I find them when I know nothing about them? They are probably in Italy but I
01:03:23don't even know their names. My thoughts were broken when Luca lifted my chin to look at me.
01:03:30Are you okay baby? Yeah, I just don't know what to think. I don't know if I want to find them
01:03:36but I want to know why they left me. I have many connections in Italy. I'll help you find them.
01:03:44Let's take this one step at a time, okay? Don't worry too much. Thank you, Luca. I brought you
01:03:51some food but it must be cold now. I'll heat it up for you, okay? Chapter 14. MIA's Pov.
01:04:01Luca's parents are arriving this evening and I'm slightly nervous. I'm preparing dinner for the
01:04:07family tonight. Luca said he'd make the maids sew it but I wanted to do something special for them.
01:04:14Cooking has always been a hobby and it helps me forget things like the fact that I'm adopted.
01:04:20They're here, Luca says as we stand on the porch watching the car drive towards us from the big
01:04:24metal gates. Mio figlio, I missed you. A woman with flowing brown hair stepped out of the car
01:04:31and hugged Luca. She turns to me, hello. I'm Luca's mother, Elena D'Angelo, but you can call
01:04:38me Elena. I smile and say, Mia Beaumont. Nice to meet you. She suddenly hugs me surprising me
01:04:47and says in my ear, I've heard so much about you. You have? I ask confused. I didn't think
01:04:55Luca would talk about me. Yes, you're more beautiful in person. My son is lucky to have
01:05:02a woman like you. She then turns to Vito and gushes, Mio Napote, look how much you've grown.
01:05:09Don't you miss your Nona? She bends down and kisses his forehead while he smiles and makes
01:05:14weird sounds. A man in his forties steps up beside Elena and no one can deny the resemblance
01:05:20he has with his son, Luca. Mia, so nice to finally meet you. It is my pleasure, Mr. D'Angelo.
01:05:30Oh please call me Roberto. Another couple walks over to us and Luca introduces us.
01:05:37Mia Cara. This is my father's best friend and underboss, Antonio and his wife Violetta.
01:05:44They smile at me and Luca gestures towards me saying, and this is Mia, Vito's babysitter who
01:05:50has also become my amazing girlfriend, he said pulling me closer to him. Violetta embraces me
01:05:57into a hug and I can't help but feel comfortable and a bit sad. I have this weird feeling in my
01:06:03chest. It's like deja vu. They look extremely familiar, but we have never met before.
01:06:10They all settle in and Luca helps me set the table. Matteo and Bria are first to take their
01:06:16seats and the others soon follow. We all enjoy the food and everyone tells me I'm a good cook
01:06:22and would make quite the chef if I ever opened a restaurant.
01:06:26Elena and Violetta helps me with the dishes afterwards. It's nice you know, Elena begins.
01:06:34I look at her slightly confused and she continued, Luca I mean.
01:06:38He's never been this happy. He was always closed off and never really opened up.
01:06:44I guess he really really likes you. I blush and she laughs.
01:06:49You know Mia you remind me of my daughter, Violetta says slowly. You have the same name
01:06:55and she would have been your age if she were here now. What happened? I asked gently not
01:07:00wanting to hurt her. We lost her when she was two. Our house was attacked while me and my
01:07:06husband were away for a while. Our housemaid took her and tried to run. She was killed but
01:07:12Mia was nowhere to be found. A tear slipped and she smiled sadly. Oh. I'm so sorry. She might
01:07:20still be alive. I say hopefully. I hope so. We're looking for her every day. My son Lorenzo loved
01:07:29her so much. You have a son? I asked surprised because he didn't come with them. Yeah. Lorenzo
01:07:38is Luca's best friend and underboss. He's handling some business in Italy but will be here soon.
01:07:45We finish cleaning up and Luca is already waiting in my room. I tucked Vito in. I hope you don't
01:07:52mind me staying here tonight. He says raising his eyebrows. No no not at all. I love staying with
01:08:00you. We watch a movie and soon fall asleep. Two days later. Luca's POV. Luca my man. Lorenzo says
01:08:11giving me a fist bump. He had just completed a mission I gave him in Italy. Nice to have you
01:08:18I say. So where's the babysitter? I want to meet the woman who made the fuck boy fall for her.
01:08:26He winked at me as I sent a glare. Just in time Mia walks in with Vito. Oh I'm sorry. I didn't
01:08:34know you had a guest. I'll come back later. She says turning back to leave. Wait come here.
01:08:42She stands beside me as I put an arm around her waist pulling her closer.
01:08:47This is Lorenzo my best friend and Antonio's son. Oh nice to meet you. Violetta told me you were
01:08:54handling business in Italy. She says I finally get to meet the woman who made my boy fall.
01:09:02Good luck with him though. He's a handful. Lorenzo says winking again. I send him another glare
01:09:09and MIA blushes and giggles. The next day. Mia's POV. Matteo, Emma and Bria being overly
01:09:19enthusiastic as always managed to persuade us to go to the club with them. So here I am in my room
01:09:25with the girls trying to find something to wear. The two devils have managed to tear my classroom
01:09:30apart trying to find the perfect dress. They pulled out a sparkly rose gold wrap dress.
01:09:36This isn't something I usually wear but they literally forced me to wear it.
01:09:42I decided to let my hair down with big curls and put on some gold hoop earrings. I tried to find
01:09:48a matching necklace but just settled on the necklace my parents left me. So the necklace
01:09:53is not exact but looks something like this carrot. It matched the dress completing the look. Bria
01:10:00settled on a backless long sleeved black dress with sequins while Emma chose a red dress with
01:10:04thin straps. I don't know if she and Matteo are dating cause she hasn't told me yet but they've
01:10:10been hanging out a lot since she got here. I'm happy for Emma. She finally listened to me and
01:10:17quit her job so she's got a lot of time which means she's staying here till she finds another
01:10:21job. We get ready and meet the boys downstairs. They're all dressed in black suits looking neat.
01:10:28Luca looks me up and down and I feel my cheeks heat up. Matteo grins at Emma and Lorenzo holds
01:10:35out his hand for Bria. He has a little crush on Bria according to Luca but he never told her.
01:10:41We go to one of Luca's clubs and sat in the VIP section as always. We have a few drinks and Luca
01:10:48asks me to dance. After a few dances and more drinks we all sit talking. You look stunning
01:10:54tonight, Luca whispers in my ear making me shiver. We're all a bit drunk and the driver
01:11:00takes us home since Diego went on a date with the girl from the office. Once we reach our floor,
01:11:06Luca picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. He kisses me roughly and I feel the
01:11:12passion and lust. He opens the bedroom door and pushes me against the wall. I feel his hand move
01:11:19up my thigh and near my core. This scene contains explicit content and has been censored to comply
01:11:25with YouTube's policies. The uncensored version is available on Google Books or as an ebook or
01:11:32paperback versions available in most retailers. He gives me a soft kiss on my lips as I tremble
01:11:38through my O and collapse in his arms. He brings his fingers to his lips and licks it. You're so
01:11:45sweet. He says and lays beside me, bringing my back to his chest. As much as I want to fuck you
01:11:51right now, I'll save it for another time, he said kissing my head. I can feel his hardness against
01:11:58my back. Flustered, I go into the bathroom to shower not wanting to see him. What the hell
01:12:04just happened? Luca's POV. She's adorable. She probably had the best orgasm ever and now she's
01:12:12all shy. I can't deny how beautiful MIA is. Every inch of her is perfect. You can wear my clothes.
01:12:21I shout after her. I showered after her and she looked so cute in my t-shirt and boxes.
01:12:28It was a good night. Chapter 15. Luca's POV. It's a day before the gala and everything is ready.
01:12:38The decorations and catering have all been sorted out. I've ordered extra security in case the
01:12:44Russians pull something. I don't want to mess up. The gala is for unity and peace. It's when the
01:12:52mafias come together to enjoy themselves, make announcements and form alliances. It's a rule
01:12:58not to use violence or cause trouble, but with the Russians you never know. It's early afternoon
01:13:04and Lorenzo just told all of us to gather in the living room. We're all very very confused as to
01:13:10what he wants to tell all of us. I pick Vito up with one hand and take Mia's hand in the other.
01:13:17I wonder what he's going to say, MIA says. We sit on the couch and the rest of the family comes in.
01:13:24Lorenzo stands and grins happily. All his teeth are showing and we can't help wonder what made
01:13:30our Lorenzo so happy. So I have a surprise for you all, but don't be too surprised. But mainly this
01:13:38is for mom and dad. He begins. MIA can I see your necklace? The one with the heart pendant? All of us
01:13:47are confused, especially MIA. She removes the necklace from her neck and hands it to him.
01:13:54So here is a picture of my sister when she was born. Mom and dad gave her a necklace with her
01:13:59name and birthday on it. And here is Mia's necklace. All of us stare at the two objects and
01:14:06wait no, is it? Is she? When is your birth date? Lorenzo asks MIA again. September 28th 1996,
01:14:16MIA and Violetta say in unison. Realization hits them and everyone is shocked to the core.
01:14:23You're our daughter, Antonio says softly. Tears started to well up in their eyes.
01:14:29MIA was still in shock, showing no reaction. I gave her hand a light squeeze and she turned to me.
01:14:36You found your parents baby. I say giving her an assuring smile and kissing her cheek.
01:14:42She turned back to Lorenzo. How did you? He cut her off saying, when I first saw you,
01:14:48you looked so familiar and I saw your necklace the day we went clubbing.
01:14:52I started putting two and two together, did some digging and found out that you're my sister.
01:14:58Wait so my girlfriend is your sister? I ask in disbelief and everyone laughs.
01:15:04Violetta hugs MIA and says, I'm so glad we found you, MIA Cara Figlia. My dear daughter.
01:15:12We're so sorry, MIA. We should have found you sooner. We're sorry we took so long.
01:15:19Antonio says tears in his eyes. MIA softly says, it's not your fault.
01:15:25The rest of us watched the happy family reunion and smiled.
01:15:29Dude, you re gonna be my brother-in-law. Damn, Lorenzo says nudging my shoulder.
01:15:36Ahaha yeah right. I say. Don't you dare hurt my sister. I'll kill you.
01:15:44Really man? You're really gonna kill your lifelong best friend?
01:15:48I ask jokingly. He laughs and shrugs his shoulders in response.
01:15:53Well now that we got my little sis back, I'm gonna have to be the overprotective brother,
01:15:59he says and everyone laughs. My family goes back to their rooms and lets them catch up.
01:16:05We have a nice lunch and I spend time with my woman and my little boy all day.
01:16:10MIA's paw. I can't even imagine. What just happened? Violetta and Antonio are actually
01:16:19my real parents and Lorenzo is my brother. Does that make me a mafia family member?
01:16:26Oh wow this shit is complicated. I'm in my room thinking about what just happened.
01:16:32Just then Lorenzo knocks on my door. Come in, I say. Hey. How are you doing?
01:16:40Good. What's up? I ask him. Nothing, just wanted to see my baby sis. He said smiling.
01:16:49I can't believe my sister is here in front of me, that and she's dating my best friend.
01:16:54I laugh and he does the same. It's nice, to know I have a brother. I've always wanted a sibling.
01:17:02Welk now you have a brother, but I'm gonna be hella overprotective. I'll kill Luca if he hurts
01:17:08you. Trust me. We sit just joking around and laughing for a while. After a while Lorenzo
01:17:15turns serious and breaks the silence. Listen, I had Luca told me about your parents. I'm really
01:17:22sorry. It's okay. I'm just thankful you grew up with such wonderful parents. I'm really sorry
01:17:30we lost you, Mia. I hope you don't blame mom and dad. No, no. I understand it's not their fault.
01:17:38I'm really relieved to know I wasn't abandoned or something. We'll make sure nothing happens
01:17:44to you again. I'm definitely sure Luca will protect you too. He likes you a lot. Lorenzo
01:17:51looks hesitant but pulls me into a warm hug anyways. It's finally nice to know I found my
01:17:58real family and they're actually really great people. Chapter 16. Mia's Pav. The gala is tonight
01:18:08and the girls are getting ready in my room. I do my makeup. A simple look with a little smoky eye
01:18:14and soft glam. I put on the dress Luca prepared for me. It's beautiful. It fits me perfectly
01:18:22showing off my curves and back. I pair it with some black ankle strap heels. Luca chose a necklace
01:18:28set for me the day before. It was a beautiful rose gold necklace with crystal drop diamonds
01:18:34and matching earrings. Bria is wearing a light pink silk dress with slits at the side. Emma's
01:18:40dress is a pretty olive green slip dress with a thigh slit. We're all looking pretty and walk
01:18:46down to meet the men. Luca is dressed in a white shirt and black tux. Matteo is wearing a dark blue
01:18:53tux and Lorenzo is in a dark gray suit. Luca pulls me into a hug and slowly trails his fingers down
01:18:59my bare back making me shiver. You have the most beautiful back darling. You look extremely
01:19:06ravishing tonight, he says whispering in my ear before kissing my neck right below my ear.
01:19:12I give him a smile as we get on Luca's car. Diego is driving tonight and it's nice to know he's
01:19:18keeping us safe. When we get there, Luca holds out his hand for me as he helps me out of the car.
01:19:25We enter the ballroom full of people dressed in expensive attire and sipping their drinks.
01:19:30Luca greets some people and introduces me to his acquaintances. Many women eye me as we walk
01:19:36around together, his arm around me resting on my back. I know they envy me and Luca doesn't
01:19:43even notice them staring. Ignoring the daggers they're shooting with their eyes, I sit with Luca
01:19:49admiring the white and gold decorations. It's beautiful. He did a pretty good job.
01:19:56We have a luxurious dinner and soft music is playing. Will you dance with me Amore? Of course
01:20:03I will my handsome king. I say in reply putting my hand in his. We glide gracefully across the
01:20:10ballroom savoring this moment. Everyone is watching but we don't care. It's just us in this moment.
01:20:18His hands around me, mine around his neck, everything is perfect. He stared into my eyes
01:20:24with love and longing, exploring me. It's like he saw everything I was, not just what I'm showing
01:20:30but who I am. I love this man heart and soul. Everyone is dancing with us but I didn't even
01:20:36notice. The song ends and he pulls me close to him, kissing me, pouring all his feelings into
01:20:41the kiss. I pull him forward deepening the kiss. We pull away before it gets more heated.
01:20:48He smiles and hugs me before pulling me back to our table. Luca's POV. We're all a bit tired and
01:20:56slightly drunk. I'm still pretty sober though. MIA didn't drink much either. It was mainly the
01:21:03rest of us who drank a little too much. We walk towards the balcony and someone stops me to talk
01:21:10so MIA goes ahead. I follow her out soon and I'm amazed by what I see. How can someone be so
01:21:17gorgeous? She's leaning against the balcony railings, the evening air blowing against her
01:21:22face. She notices me and smiles before turning back to stare at the stars. She looks so calm,
01:21:29so peaceful. It's beautiful, isn't it? She asks me. Yes, it is. But I'm not talking about the stars.
01:21:38I'm talking about the angel in front of me. My queen. She notices me staring and pulls me in
01:21:45for a deep kiss. I love you MIA Amor. I whisper resting my forehead on hers.
01:21:51Mi sono innamorata dai ti, Luca. She says softly. I'm in love with you. I've fallen in love with you.
01:22:00Let's go home Amor. I say and take her hand in mine, taking one last look at the starry night sky.
01:22:07We're in the car and I pull MIA onto my lap so she's straddling me, lifting her dress a little,
01:22:12revealing a bit more of her sexy legs. I put the privacy up and lean in for a kiss.
01:22:19It was like fire consuming me deeper into the flame. I bit her lip slightly asking for entrance
01:22:25which she immediately granted. Her hands traveled down my chest and under my shirt rubbing circles
01:22:31on my bare skin. I skimmed her bare back as I kissed her neck and sucked her soft spot resulting
01:22:36in a small moan. Her hands were now gliding down my pants to my growing bulge making me groan in
01:22:42pleasure. I pull her hips closer so that she's grinding me. I can feel her core heat up and I
01:22:48smirk at the thought. Moving my hands from her neck to the center of her cleavage, I make sure
01:22:53to make her shiver under my touch. This scene contains explicit content and has been censored
01:22:59to comply with YouTube's policies. The uncensored version is available on Google Books or as an
01:23:06e-book or paperback versions available in most retailers. I feel her shake moaning as she reaches
01:23:13her climax. She rests her head on my shoulder just as we pass the gates to our mansion.
01:23:19We're home baby I say. Once we arrive I carry her bridal style silently dismissing Diego and
01:23:26telling him to go home. The rest of the family is still at the gala so it's just us for now.
01:23:32I put her down gently kissing her. Turning her around I pull her zipper down revealing her
01:23:39beautiful body. I lift her up pushing her against the wall as I kiss her a bit more roughly than
01:23:44before. I kiss her soft skin leaving marks. She unbuttons my shirt and pushes it down my arms.
01:23:52I unclasp her bra and lay her down on the bed. Her boobs are wonderful. I leave a trail of kisses
01:23:59and love bites as I move down her belly towards her throbbing core. I slide her panties down and
01:24:05her pussy is glistening in the dim light. She tries to cover herself with her hands but I take
01:24:10them gently and pin them above her head. You don't have to cover up in front of me baby.
01:24:16You have the most beautiful body. She gives me a small smile and I gently lick her clit
01:24:22making her moan and arch her back. I give it a kiss and start lapping up her juices.
01:24:28I look up at her and her eyes are shut as she moans in pleasure. I get up and remove my belt
01:24:34and pants along with my boxes. My manhood is free and her eyes go slightly wide at my nice but she
01:24:40quickly regains her composure. I kiss her again. I've never, I'm a virgin. She says shyly. I know
01:24:49baby. Are you sure you want to do this? I say against her lips. She nods slowly and looks at
01:24:56me with love and lust. That's all I need. Are you on birth control? I want to feel you. Yeah.
01:25:05I'm on the pill. She answers me. I line myself at her entrance slowly easing myself into her.
01:25:12She flinches for a bit and I stop to see if she's okay. You okay baby? I ask. Yeah. She nods. I
01:25:22continue sliding into her before moving. She moans as my thrusts get rougher. She lifts her hips to
01:25:29meet my every thrust and we are a complete mess of moans and groans. Soon she starts to shake and
01:25:35I feel my decay twitch. With a few more thrusts we both come. I groan as she screams riding through
01:25:41her chasm. Luca. Fuck MIA. Once we're done, we lay side by side staring at the ceiling.
01:25:50Wow she says. Wow, is all I can say to. I pull her into my side putting my arm under her head.
01:25:58She looks up and pecks my lips. I kiss her forehead and say I love you Mia more.
01:26:05I love you too she says. We fall into a deep sleep happy and content.
01:26:12Chapter 17. Mia's Pov. I wake up to a hard chiseled chest. Luca is snoring softly,
01:26:20his eyes closed and he looks so calm. I trace the tattoos on his arm and chest moving slowly
01:26:25to his torso. Um it feels good, he says in his raspy morning voice making me pull down there.
01:26:32Damn it. He hasn't even done anything. Let's take a shower, he says lifting me up from the bed.
01:26:40I'm feeling extra bold today and I might have a plan. I bite my lip thinking about what I'm gonna
01:26:46do. He removes the sheets from my grasp uncovering me. We're both naked and I can see his manhood
01:26:53growing. He carries me into the bathroom and I purposely accidentally brush his dick with my leg
01:26:59as he puts me down. I smirk at the effect it has on him when he tries to suppress a groan.
01:27:06Luca's Pov. I know Mia's still a bit nervous but her biting her lip isn't helping. I'm already
01:27:13hard as fuck. Suddenly she grasps my manhood stroking it gently. Fuck. I guide her hand
01:27:20stroking faster groaning. I see a naughty glint in her eyes as she kneels down looking up at me.
01:27:27Her innocent eyes are enough to make me cum. Mia dot are you sure? I ask. She takes me into
01:27:35her mouth humming in response. The vibrations making me groan even more. She takes me deeper
01:27:41and I feel myself nearing the edge. Her lips twirl around my tip licking the pre-cum off.
01:27:47Baby if you continue I'm gonna cum. She doesn't care and continues her movements.
01:27:53She moves faster, my hand in her hair, my grasp on her head tightening.
01:27:58I feel my dick throb soon and I cum inside her mouth. Fuck. Mia. She swallows it all shocking me.
01:28:07But again, Mia is a woman of many surprises. I pull her into the bathtub with me. It was amazing.
01:28:16I say kissing her shoulder. We wash each other and I pour some shampoo on my hand
01:28:21rubbing it gently into her scalp. She hums but we better not do anything more.
01:28:27She's probably sore from last night. She puts on my boxes and one of my super large hoodies.
01:28:33She looks so tiny in it. I put my arm around her waist as we go to check on Vito.
01:28:40He's awake and smiling at us flailing his arms in the air asking Mia to carry him.
01:28:45He has started to babble and if he could actually talk he would be one talkative boy.
01:28:51I'm in my office with the boys. The Russians have caused trouble again.
01:28:56They stole my shipments, raided my warehouse and left a warning.
01:29:00I will cum for you. The writing on the wall says. No one touches what's mine. No one.
01:29:08And I don't do well with threats. Antonov just declared war. He will not be able to bring me
01:29:14down. Call the French and Spanish. Make sure they're still on our side. Call the others too.
01:29:20I tell Diego and he leaves. Fucking Antonov, Lorenzo mutters. Mia's POV.
01:29:28We had breakfast and Luca went to work. I'm now in my room reading a book. MIA.
01:29:35Emma says in a sing-song voice as she walks in. It's official. We're dating. She squeals.
01:29:43Thank God for you, bestie. If I didn't quit my job and come visit you, I wouldn't have met Mateo,
01:29:49she says laughing. I roll my eyes and join her. I'm happy for her, really. I know their
01:29:56personalities click. They're both outgoing and cheerful. Good for you, I tell her.
01:30:03How about you? Have you done the dirty, she asks and just then Bria opens my door hopping in.
01:30:10The dirty what? Wait have you, she asks eagerly. Damn these girls have way too much energy and
01:30:17damn are they curious. Ugh. I just say. You did. Bria squeals. How was it? How was it?
01:30:28Emma says jumping up and down. Arg it was amazing. That's all I'm gonna say.
01:30:35I can't believe you two are fucking my brothers, Bria says scrunching up her face.
01:30:40And you're gonna be fucking my brother soon, I joke winking. We're not like that. I don't
01:30:46think he thinks of me that way, she says blushing. Oh come on, we all know that he likes you,
01:30:52Emma tells her and I nod in agreement. Girl he literally peeks at you at dinner like you're
01:30:57some precious jewel he's not allowed to look at. Just you wait. I'll make you my sister-in-law.
01:31:05They laugh at my comment and we climb into bed to watch Gossip Girl or whatever the hell they.
01:31:11Want. Chapter 18.
01:31:16Lucas POV. It's a few weeks later. The Russians have been causing trouble every now and then.
01:31:23We've caught a lot of their men and tortured them but no one knows where Antonov is.
01:31:28We've been trying to locate him but apparently he's off the grid. For now. He can't hide that
01:31:35long. My brother is the best when it comes to tracking and all that stuff. Violetta is talking
01:31:41about MIA when she was a baby and we're all just enjoying our weekend. After a bit more talking,
01:31:48we hear Vito crying on the baby monitor and I get up to go to him. I'll get him, MIA says.
01:31:55I need to feed him anyways. With that, she goes upstairs. After about 5 or 10 minutes,
01:32:02we hear a scream from upstairs. I rush to the nursery to find broken glass everywhere,
01:32:07the window open and my girlfriend and son gone. Fuck. I say slamming my hand into the wall.
01:32:15My men are behind me, ready for any orders. Secure the perimeter and find them. Right now.
01:32:23They can't be far. I want them back as soon as possible. You hear me?
01:32:29Si capo, they say and leave. Violetta and Antonio are pale and shocked. My parents are calming them
01:32:36down. My phone rings and I gesture to the boys to come with me and we go to my office. I pick up the
01:32:43phone and out it on speaker, giving it to Matteo to track. D'Angelo. Antonov. What do you want?
01:32:53I growl. You, he says. You have 5 days. Either you find us and come or your son dies. I already
01:33:02have a present for your little girlfriend, so don't worry. I'll make sure she enjoys it.
01:33:08Don't you dare touch them, I sneer. He laughs evilly with that he hangs up.
01:33:14Matteo shakes his head. Burn a phone, he says. Fuck. I put a tracker in Mia's necklace.
01:33:22Can you track it? Lorenzo asks. I hate this. I don't want to put them in danger.
01:33:30This is my fucking fault. If anything happens to them, it'll be the end of me.
01:33:36Mia's Pov. I wake up with a pounding in my head. My vision is blurry but I can see that I'm on the
01:33:43bed in what seems like a huge bedroom. Babe, you're awake. I recognize that voice right away.
01:33:51Fuck. How could I forget? Jake. So good to have you back. He says grinning creepily.
01:34:00Fuck. Why am I here? I ask. I suddenly remember Vito and frantically look around the room.
01:34:09Looking for him? Jake says pointing to a crib beside him. He's okay. Don't worry. We won't hurt
01:34:17him. At least not yet. The door opens and a man in his thirties walk in. He has a light stubble
01:34:25and he's shorter than Luka. He looks Russian. What do you want? I ask angrily.
01:34:32You. Jake says. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Nikolai Antonov. I'm surprised Luka hasn't told
01:34:41you about me. And this here is my trusty partner Damien, he says pointing to Jake.
01:34:48Realization hits me, as I recall that one time I heard Luka shouting in his office about the
01:34:53Russians and a certain person named Antonov. Yep. I'm Damien. But you can still call me Jake
01:35:01if you want. Thanks to Nikolai, I got you back. I'll make sure you'll never leave again.
01:35:08Damien says with a devilish grin. They finally leave and lock my door after telling me that Luka
01:35:14has five days to find us. I go to check up on Vito and take him into my arms before walking
01:35:20back to the bed. I look at him and he's playing with my hair and babbling as he always does.
01:35:27He's so young. I can't let anything happen to him. I don't know Nikolai, but I know both of
01:35:33them are bad people. And judging by his business with Luka, he's a mafia leader too, probably the
01:35:40Russians. I know he's capable of doing anything, that is, he can kill me if he wants to. I can't
01:35:47believe that my ex is also part of all this and managed to hide it all from me. It all settles
01:35:53in and tears stream down my face. Vito looks at me with a questioning look and holds my fingers
01:35:58with his tiny hand. He starts pouting and his eyes well up with tears. Oh no, no, no, baby,
01:36:05it's okay. I'll make sure we're okay. I'll protect and keep you safe. I whisper, kissing his forehead.
01:36:13I manage to smile at him and his face softens as he examines my face. He reaches for my cheek and
01:36:20wipes away a stray tear with his hand. He babbles some more as if telling me it's okay. I must be
01:36:26strong.for him. I'm sure Luka is already looking for me. Luka's POV. It's been three days point
01:36:35three fucking days and we still can't locate them. I'm going crazy with worry. I haven't
01:36:41slept in days and I haven't been eating much either. They'll be okay, Lorenzo says, but deep
01:36:47inside I know he's as worried and angry as I am. I rub my hands over my face. I should talk to Mia's
01:36:54parents. I'm so sorry, Antonio Violeta. You just found out she's your daughter and now she's
01:37:02kidnapped and it's all my fault. I should have taken better care of them. It's not your fault,
01:37:07boy. These things are bound to happen in our life, Antonio says, patting my shoulder. I can't hold
01:37:14it in anymore and I start to break down. This is too much. What if something happens to them?
01:37:21How will I live? I can't forgive myself. I'm the cause for their danger. I should have been more
01:37:28careful. I'm crying uncontrollably and Violeta wraps her arms around me as she weeps silently.
01:37:36They'll be fine, Luca. They'll be okay. Mia's strong and she won't let anything happen to Vito.
01:37:43I'm back in the office with my head in my hands. Mateo is tracking them but has gotten no progress.
01:37:50Lorenzo is pacing around the room, not knowing what to do. My screen lights up and a video
01:37:56message pops up. I open it as the boys come beside me. It's blurry but I can make out a
01:38:02figure on the bed. Mia and she's cradling Vito in her arms. A man grins evilly at the camera
01:38:09before going to Mia. Well, well, well. Thanks to you, D'Angelo, I got my girl back. And I'm gonna
01:38:17make sure she doesn't leave me again. He lifts her head roughly and kisses her forcefully.
01:38:24My blood boils and I see Lorenzo's hand ball up in a fist. I can see it. The fear in her eyes.
01:38:31She keeps a straight face but I know she's scared. If you don't come in the next two days,
01:38:37I'll kill your son but Mia will always be mine. Mia once told me she had an ex who used to beat
01:38:43her and that she had left him. He wasn't happy about it. Pull up his profile. I tell Mateo.
01:38:52Damian Ivanov. Half Russian, half American. Lives in the States. Handles business here for Antonov.
01:39:01I slam my hand on the table, gritting my teeth. I call my men and tell them to search all
01:39:07warehouses. A few minutes pass and all I can think of is the look on her face.
01:39:13Vito doesn't know anything and I know she'll keep him safe. She's strong. She'll get through this.
01:39:20Lorenzo says patting my back. I know. I whisper. Emma storms into my room and starts hitting me
01:39:29on the chest. Where is she? Why? Why isn't she here? Why did you let this happen? Why did I
01:39:38let this happen? Mateo struggles to drag her out of the room. Bria points a finger on my chest.
01:39:46You better find her or I won't forgive you too, she says before walking over to Lorenzo
01:39:51and hugging him. She whispers something in his ear and he nods silently. I miss my woman.
01:39:58I want to hold her in my arms. I want to feel her touch. I want her back. I will find them.
01:40:06Mia's POV. This is the fourth day. Tomorrow will be the last day or they will kill Vito.
01:40:14I know they will. I pray and pray that Luca finds us. Damien has hit me again and again.
01:40:21My arms hurt from all the hitting and my cheek burns from when he slapped me last night.
01:40:26I recall the memory. Did you sleep with him? I don't reply. Answer me. He shouts making me flinch.
01:40:36When I don't speak his hand strucks my face making me clutch my cheek in horror.
01:40:41Fucking bitch. He murmurs before leaving and slamming the door. I shake my head and sit up.
01:40:48Damien walks in with a tray of food. Eat he demands. I haven't eaten since I got here.
01:40:56I had to feed Vito though. He grasps my chin with his fingers making me look at him.
01:41:02I said eat. He says angrily. I don't budge and that's when he loses it.
01:41:08Why won't you listen to me? You have everything here. I fucking bought you the best things.
01:41:15He pauses thinking. I'll ask you again. Did he fuck you? Why the fuck would I tell you?
01:41:23I shout. Fine. I'll make you tell me then he says and pulls my hand making me stand up.
01:41:30He holds my face and kisses me aggressively. I try to free myself from his grasp but he
01:41:36pushes my shoulders so I fall on the bed. He climbs onto the bed hovering me. He starts
01:41:42kissing my neck and I scream in disgust. His hands roam my body landing on my buttons.
01:41:48He starts unbuttoning them and I cry out telling him to stop. He continues unbuttoning them and I
01:41:54scream. This time he puts his hand over my mouth muffling my cries. Tears stream down my face as
01:42:01I silently pray for Luca to come. Luca's POV. We stayed up all night trying to track them.
01:42:09It's now early dawn and we're tired as fuck. Guys we got a signal. Mateo says making me and Lorenzo
01:42:17stand immediately. Where is it? Let's go. I say and Lorenzo calls our men. They're ready.
01:42:26He says ending the call. We're in front of the isolated house. Mateo you stay with them at the
01:42:33entrance standby. Others check the perimeter. Kill everyone in your way. High order. Lorenzo
01:42:42you're with me. I signal everyone to go and we enter the area. Bullets fly everywhere as we
01:42:50enter the house. We search all the rooms. Clear. Lorenzo says as he searches around the house.
01:42:58I go upstairs to the furthest room in the corridor. I walk towards the huge black doors
01:43:03when I hear a scream soon followed by another. I rush to the room and throw the doors open
01:43:09revealing a struggling MIA on the bed with the guy from the video above her.
01:43:14I aim to shoot at him but he's too close to her. Get off her. I shout tackling him to the floor.
01:43:22I shoot him in the legs so he can't move. Lorenzo rushes in and looks at us then goes
01:43:27to pick a crying Vito up. My men take Damien away. I rush over to MIA engulfing her in my arms.
01:43:36Her cheeks are stained with tears. Her shirt is unbuttoned and she's shaking uncontrollably.
01:43:42Luca. She whimpers and continues sobbing. Shush baby. It's okay. It's okay. I'm here.
01:43:51You're safe now. I got you. I whisper stroking her hair. She soon passes out from the shock
01:43:59so I carry her and we go home. Lorenzo is driving and MIA is fast asleep in my arms.
01:44:06Vito also fell asleep after Lorenzo tried to calm him down. I look at them and feel so relieved.
01:44:13I let out a long breath I didn't know I was holding. Lorenzo looks at me from the rear
01:44:18view mirror and smiles. We got them he says. I nod and brush the hair of MIA's face.
01:44:25I get a call from my men saying that Nikolai escaped. It doesn't matter. I will hunt him down.
01:44:33My queen is finally back and so is my prince.
01:44:38Chapter 19. Luca's POV. Luca help me. She whimpers. MIA. Get off me you bastard.
01:44:49MIA. Baby baby. It's me. It's me. Wake up. I'm here baby. You're okay. That sick bastard is gonna
01:44:58pay. My baby just got over the nightmares and now she's having them again. I will make him suffer.
01:45:06We just sit there. Me rocking MIA in my arms back and forth while she sobs.
01:45:11I'm so sorry Amor. I whisper kissing her head. Luca hee hee. She started. I know baby. We have
01:45:20him. He won't be able to hurt you again. Come let's take a bath. I unbutton her shirt and slide
01:45:27them down her arms. She consciously covers them looking away. Amor he hit you didn't he? I move
01:45:36her hands away slowly revealing small bruises on her arm. Fucking bastard I curse as my blood boils.
01:45:43I finally notice the redness on her left cheek and my hands brush her skin. I kiss her bruises
01:45:49and then pull her in for a hug. We let the water cascade over us letting the steam surround us.
01:45:55Vito's okay thankfully. The glass from the nursery didn't hurt any of them. Violetta and Antonio
01:46:03are so happy Mia's back. Amor I love you. I say as we lie in the bed all cuddled up.
01:46:10I love you too Luca. Thank you for keeping him safe. I say pointing to Vito. I didn't do anything
01:46:18baby. He's just a baby. Who knows what would happen if you didn't find us in time she says
01:46:25and we both go silent thinking about the consequences. We shake off the bad thoughts.
01:46:31Am I a baby and what do you want me to do about him dot you know. I ask carefully afraid she'll
01:46:38get triggered or something. I can't believe I dated such a sick bastard. I don't want to
01:46:44see him again Luca. Just please give him what he deserves. I pull her into my chest. Yes baby
01:46:51I'll make sure he gets 10 times the suffering he made you go through. Soon after MIA falls
01:46:57asleep and I follow. Mia's paw. Luca's not in the room when I wake up so I go to the kitchen where
01:47:05the girls are eating cookies. Hey Mia want some? Bria asks handing me a tray of chocolate chip
01:47:13cookies my favorite. How are you doing? Emma asks me. We haven't really talked since I came back.
01:47:21I was extremely tired and I still feel a bit sick. Better I say. Wanna talk about it?
01:47:29So I tell them everything including how that sick bastard almost raped me. I'm not full on crying
01:47:35but my eyes tear up. I found out that Emma knows about the mafia stuff. Mateo told her the night
01:47:42I was taken. I'm so sorry Bria says and they hug me tightly. You know what? You need to loosen up.
01:47:51Let's go to the mall tomorrow and have some fun. Emma exclaims jumping up and down. I groan
01:47:58knowing they won't want to go home until I have a thousand bags full of stuff.
01:48:03I take Vito to the living room and put on some cartoons on the tv while he plays with his toys.
01:48:09Luca soon walks into the house and seeing us he comes to sit beside me. How's my little boy?
01:48:16He asks Vito picking him up and putting him on his lap. Vito smiles playing with Luca's tie.
01:48:22And how are you gorgeous? He asks giving me a sweet kiss. I'm good. Where have you been?
01:48:30Work. I just um cleared up the stuff with Damien. We made sure he had a painful death.
01:48:37M M H M M I say nuzzling into his chest. The girls planned a trip to the mall tomorrow.
01:48:44Just letting you know I tell him. He frowns and looks at me. I'll go with you. What? I said I'm
01:48:53going with you. Why? Because it's still not safe and shopping with my queen wouldn't be that bad
01:48:59would it? I laugh. Oh Luca, Luca you don't know what you're getting yourself into. Violent scenes
01:49:07below. Luca's POV. Speak. Where is he? Damien is tied up in our basement but he's not giving us
01:49:16any answers. Matteo threw a few punches and it made him bleed. I stab him in the thigh twisting
01:49:23it and he shouts. Fuck you. I don't know where he is. Lorenzo stabs him in the side. This is for
01:49:32what you did to my sister. He takes an axe and cuts his hand off. And this is for hitting her.
01:49:39He goes around and cuts another hand off. And this is for touching her when she didn't let you.
01:49:45By now he's bleeding and screaming. All three of us are covered in blood. We ask him about
01:49:51Nicolai's plan and since he didn't want to tell us Matteo punched him where he just got stabbed.
01:49:57I pick up the axe and cut his dick off. That's for trying to rape my woman I say. I am Luca
01:50:04D'Angelo and no one fucks with me. I roar in his face and shoot him straight in the heart then
01:50:10another one between his eyes. I go to my spare room next to the basement to change into a clean set of
01:50:16clothes. Can't wait to meet my girlfriend. Amor I say walking into the house. She's watching some
01:50:25cartoon with Vito. I tell her about Damien and she tells me she's going out with the girls.
01:50:31No it's not safe knowing that Nicolai is still alive. I'll go with you I tell her. I didn't
01:50:38think it would be this bad. Girls will be girls. We follow as they weave through endless clothing
01:50:44stores. Apparently we're on a quadruple date if that even exists. Yep Lorenzo asked my sister out.
01:50:53I tried to warn him about the things I'd do if he hurts my sister and he did the same to me.
01:50:58The girls decided it would be nice to invite Diego's girlfriend Miriam. Dude when are they
01:51:05gonna finish? I'm never gonna understand women Matteo whines. I chuckle totally regretting my
01:51:13decision. Getting bored I take Mia's hand and turn towards the lingerie stores. No she says
01:51:20shaking her head. I smirk and ignore her and drag her towards the first store in sight Victoria's
01:51:26Secret. I pick out a few nice sexy sets and tell the sales assistant. I want all of these in her size.
01:51:34Since Vito has been with me the whole time he starts reaching for some brass making weird
01:51:39faces and examining them with his tiny hands. He looks amazed. We laugh at his reaction and he says
01:51:46some things we don't understand. You'll be taking a lot of them off one day my boy I say in my
01:51:52thoughts. A few minutes later the girl brings them. We go to some other stores and I make Mia try on
01:51:59different clothes. And damn she looks good with everything. We finally go home and I drag Mia
01:52:06into my bedroom. After kissing her long and slow I grab the lingerie bags and push it into her hand.
01:52:13Go try them on I say. Luca she groans. Come on baby. She goes into the bathroom shutting the
01:52:21door behind her but hell nah. I join her before she manages to lock it. I want to see I say trying
01:52:29to persuade her with my puppy eyes. Please amour. It's embarrassing she exclaims. I'm gonna be
01:52:36taking them off you anyways I say. A few sets later and I'm hard as fuck. With a body like hers
01:52:44she'll probably make any guy hard in a few seconds. She looks fucking sexy. Fuck this.
01:52:51I take the last pair off her. A set of black lace with minimal coverage. She's hot very hot.
01:52:58She undoes my belt and slides down my pants along with my boxes. I pick her up and she wraps her
01:53:04legs around me. She feels my bulge when I push closer to her and she smirks. I sit in the bathtub
01:53:11and start fingering Elle. She's wet and so ready for me. I stroke my growing manhood and position
01:53:18myself at her entrance. She slides down on me making me groan in appreciation. I start moving
01:53:24her up and down and she moans. Mia's paw. Luca kisses my neck sucking on my sweet spots and
01:53:31leaving hickeys all over my breast. He takes a nipple in his fingers twirling it around. I'm a
01:53:38mess moaning and screaming his name as I gasm. He comes soon after filling me up. We wash each other
01:53:45and let the warm water fall on our skin making us relax. I'm tired from all the shopping and
01:53:51trying on stuff. I put on Luca's t-shirt and a pair of panties. Luca ended up torturing me
01:53:58making me try on every outfit he chose. My feet are hurting. Walking round and round the mall for
01:54:05hours is tough. I'm trying to massage my foot when Luca walks out of his closet in just boxers.
01:54:12I can never get over how fit he is. His abs are perfect. You okay? He asks. Yeah just tired.
01:54:22My feet are killing me. Oh really? Let me help he says a naughty glint in his eyes.
01:54:29He sits on the bed and starts rubbing and massaging my feet. I hum in satisfaction.
01:54:35Better? M-M-H-M-M. I nod in agreement. He seductively slides his hands up my thigh
01:54:43teasing me. Let's just say we had a few more rounds of sex after that.
01:54:50Chapter 20. Luca's POV. A couple of months have passed and we're just enjoying life.
01:54:57MIA and I have gone on a couple of dates and I just really admire this woman. She's fucking
01:55:03amazing. I have a big surprise planned for her and it happens today. Is it ready? I ask Matteo.
01:55:12Yep. All set he replies. Thank you for doing this my man. She's gonna love it. Lorenzo smiles at me
01:55:21before giving me a fist bump. Okay let's do this. I'll meet you guys this evening. They nod at me
01:55:29and I walk out. Dada. Vito exclaims as he sees me and jumps up and down on Mia's lap.
01:55:37Hey baby MIA says as she reaches up to kiss my cheek. Hey I say. I am want to take you somewhere
01:55:44this evening. I rub the back of my neck nervously. Sure. Where are we going? Oh it's a surprise.
01:55:53Wear something nice. I'll get Vito ready so you have more time.
01:55:58AWWN thanks baby. Can't wait. MIA winks at me before turning back to Vito playing with him.
01:56:07Yep his first word is papa. I still remember the first time I heard it.
01:56:13Flashback. I was having a really stressful day at work and I was really drained. MIA is waiting
01:56:20for me when I get home. Just seeing her makes me happy. Her nightmares are gone for good now
01:56:27and I'm really happy. She picks Vito up to tuck him in but he pouts and turns to me. Papa he says.
01:56:35Did he just say papa? I ask MIA not sure I heard correctly. Maybe I'm hearing things from exhaustion.
01:56:43Yep. You heard right. Who's that? She asks Vito pointing at me. He point at me and says papa.
01:56:52Tears start to well up in my eyes and MIA smiles. That's right. Now give papa a kiss will you?
01:57:00He pecks my cheek and giggles. MIA hugs me and whispers. Congratulations baby he just said his
01:57:07first word. Fuck yeah. My son just said his first word. He's officially talking. End of flashback.
01:57:17MIA's POV. It's nearing fall so I settle for a beige knit wrap dress pairing it with some ankle
01:57:23boots. Luca has been really secretive. I have no idea where he's taking me but honestly I'm really
01:57:30excited. I do my makeup and put on some red lipstick. I look great. Luca walks out of the
01:57:38shower, water dripping from his wet hair. Damn you look fucking amazing. He takes my hand and pulls
01:57:45me in for a kiss. I love you Amore. And you look as handsome as always. And you're half naked so go
01:57:53get dressed. I tell him giving his ass a little slap. He smirks and picks out something to wear.
01:57:59Let's go Bella. He picks Vito up and we walk towards our car. We soon arrive at a certain
01:58:06unknown place. I can't see anything because it's dark. Suddenly my sight is covered as Luca ties
01:58:13a blindfold over my eyes. Come he says and puts his arm around my waist. We're here. I open my
01:58:20eyes to see that everything is now brightly lit. There's a building in front of me. It looks like
01:58:27a restaurant. We walk in and it's empty but you can tell it's meant to be a restaurant or something.
01:58:34What's this? I ask Luca and he shrugs. Surprise? I look at him with a questioning look.
01:58:43So you told me you wanted to open a restaurant someday and that you love cooking so much.
01:58:48We've all eaten your dishes and we know how amazing your food tastes.
01:58:53So I bought this place for you so you could open the restaurant you always dreamed of.
01:58:58He says taking my hands in his and looking into my eyes. You did this? For me? I ask unbelievably.
01:59:07He nods. I didn't design anything because I knew you would want to do the interior and
01:59:12stuffs yourself but yeah. This is yours he said. Oh Luca. You didn't have to. But this is incredible.
01:59:23Thank you. Thank you so so much. This is fucking amazing. I shout and he laughs.
01:59:30The rest of the evening is spent celebrating the event and we're sitting at one of Luca's
01:59:35restaurants with the family having dinner. I lean up and kiss Luca softly and whisper
01:59:41thank you. Really? It's a dream come true. Anything for my queen he says. I love you Cormio.
01:59:51I love you too Amore Mio. He rubs circles between my thumb and index finger. Vito is looking at us
01:59:58and babbling. We laugh at him and he tilts his head confused. I'm happy so happy. I always wanted
02:00:06to have my own little restaurant. I can already see how it looks. The fact that he remembered what
02:00:13I said makes my heart flutter. Chapter 21. Mia's Pav. Okay so it's a few weeks later and I've been
02:00:24so busy designing and decorating my restaurant. It looks amazing. I'm pretty proud of myself
02:00:30actually. I went for a modern design for the interior with greens as the main color. Okay
02:00:38so I can't decide which one to choose so here are both inspirations for the restaurant.
02:00:43The opening ceremony is in a few days and I just can't wait. Amore. Luca calls.
02:00:51MMHMM. I say not looking up from my laptop. You need to stop working so hard and give me attention
02:00:59he says groaning. Okay okay. What's up baby? I raise my hands in surrender and get on the bed
02:01:07beside him. Don't make me regret giving you the restaurant he says pouting. I laugh. You're such a
02:01:15baby but I love you. So what do you want to do? I was just thinking we could go on a picnic maybe.
02:01:23At the beach or something? Sure. When do you want to go? I was thinking this evening so we could
02:01:30maybe watch the sunset and all. Okay let's go then. So we'll have to go buy some stuff at the
02:01:36store. So that's what we did. We're now at Target buying stuff for the picnic. Luca is getting some
02:01:44snacks and drinks while I'm just looking for some other stuff. I go to check out my stuff and when
02:01:49I'm almost done Luca joins me. Luca's POV. I watch as MIA unpacks the stuff we bought and put it in
02:01:58our picnic basket or whatever you call it. Violetta asked if she wanted her to watch Vito
02:02:03so that we can have time ourselves but MIA just shakes her head. We'll take Vito with us she says.
02:02:10I want him to see the beach. I smile as Vito giggles as if he understands. I told you they
02:02:17have that mother-son connection. He crawls over to MIA and she picks him up from the couch.
02:02:23I help her take the stuff to the car as she straps him in. We drive to a nearby beach and as soon as
02:02:29the water comes into view Vito babbles pointing here and there. We park and I take the things and
02:02:35we walk towards a nice spot by the water. It's beautiful. The water is sparkling in the sun
02:02:41and the waves are moving gently on the surface. MIA puts Vito down and he instantly crawls in
02:02:47the sand making weird faces and saying stuff we can't understand. It his first time seeing sand
02:02:53and the beach after all. We laugh at his expression and play with him for a while.
02:02:58I open a bottle of champagne and pour some for each of us and of course milk for the baby. We
02:03:04eat some snacks and fruits and just talk about life. I'm running on the beach lifting Vito in
02:03:10the air. He giggles and makes funny noises. MIA watches us smiling. The wind blowing in her hair.
02:03:18She looks like a goddess. We wave at her and out of the blue Vito points at her and says something.
02:03:25Mama. I look at him and he says it again. Wanting MIA to hear it too I rush towards her and sit.
02:03:34Vito.say it again I whisper in his ear. He giggles and points at her. Mama. MIA looks at me
02:03:43wide eyes and back at Vito. Her expression changes and I can't tell what it is. Amor what wrong?
02:03:50You're not mad? Mad? Why would I be? I don't know. It's just. I'm not his real mother and his mom is
02:04:00still alive and all and I just feel guilty. I don't know. She looks away before looking down.
02:04:07Come here. I tell her and she shifts so she's facing me. You have nothing to be guilty of.
02:04:15You're the one who raised him after all not his mom. You deserve to be his mom more than she does.
02:04:21I'm not mad at you baby. I'm actually really happy. You should be too. Vito loves you Amor
02:04:29and I love you too. She nods and whispers. I love you too Amor. I pull her closer so she's
02:04:36between my legs. Her back to my chest. I love you too baby boy. She says to Vito kissing his head.
02:04:43He looks up at her before looking down and playing with his toys. This is perfect. This moment. This
02:04:50place. The sunset. The view. Everything is just perfect. Thinking about it I actually want more
02:04:56kids with MIA. I need to make her mine soon and I think I know the perfect time.
02:05:03Chapter 22 Mia's Pov
02:05:07Today is the day. So I officially own a restaurant now and today's the opening ceremony.
02:05:14You ready? Luca asks me as he walks into the closet. Yeah. Almost. I say trying to zip my
02:05:23dress up. Here. Let me help you. I shiver as his hands brush up my spine and I can tell he's
02:05:31smirking behind me. Stop. Stop what? He asks innocently. Stop teasing me. I say and he snakes
02:05:40his arm around my waist. I'll continue this later. He whispers in my ear before kissing my neck
02:05:48earning a small moan from me. I'm wearing a shimmery white dress with thin straps and a deep
02:05:53cleavage. Luca is in a gray suit looking as handsome as ever. We make our way to his Lamborghini
02:06:00as the others get on their cars. People are already at the restaurant when we arrive.
02:06:07You did an amazing job, Amore. Luca says kissing my temple. We walk into the restaurant and greet
02:06:14the guests most of whom are Luca's acquaintances. My parents walk over to us hand in hand.
02:06:21We're so proud of you, my mom says tearing up slightly. They both hug me and my dad thanks
02:06:27Luca. Luca seems nervous about something but I choose to ignore it. Baby sis. Your food is amazing.
02:06:36Lorenzo says walking to us with food in his mouth. He does an impression of a chef's kiss
02:06:41before hugging me and patting Luca's shoulder. Thank you everyone for coming here today.
02:06:48I would like to thank my boyfriend for giving me such an amazing opportunity.
02:06:53Thank you Luca for making my dream come true. I hope you all enjoy your evening and to my employees
02:07:00enjoy yourselves tonight and I hope we can work together and make this restaurant even more
02:07:04special. Here's to delicious and memorable meals at MNR. I say. Yes, I named it after me and Luca.
02:07:14As cheesy as it sounds, I just wanted to appreciate Luca for what he did for me.
02:07:19The room is filled with chatter and smiles as we all enjoy the food.
02:07:24Amore. Come with me. Luca says standing up and holding his hand out for me.
02:07:30I look at Vito and he's on Bria's lap. Luca takes me to the backyard of my restaurant
02:07:36and there's a fancy gazebo. I have no idea when this was installed here, so I just follow him.
02:07:43I walk in and there are candles and rose petals everywhere. There is a bouquet of flowers in the
02:07:49middle. Fairy lights surround the area, lighting everything up. Soft music plays in the background.
02:07:57Luca's POV. My heart is beating so hard I feel like it might fall out of my chest.
02:08:03I've never been this nervous in my life. MIA takes in her surroundings, her back to me.
02:08:09This is the perfect timing. I get down on one knee, the small black velvet box in my hand.
02:08:16I got MIA a rose gold band with four little diamonds and a bigger round diamond in the
02:08:21middle. I would have gotten her something bigger, but I know she prefers small and simple things.
02:08:27It's beautiful, Luca. When did you prepare all this? She asks me, turning around to face me.
02:08:34Her hands fly to her mouth as she realizes what I'm doing.
02:08:38MIA Beaumont, ever since the day I met you, I fell in love with you, although I didn't realize it
02:08:44for quite some time. You looked after me when I was shot, you protected Vito when you were taken,
02:08:50you were always there for me and my son. I hired you as my babysitter, but I eventually wanted you
02:08:56to be mine. I know I don't deserve you, but please allow me to be selfish and ask you to be my wife
02:09:02and Vito's mother. I love you so much and more, and I have never been so sure of anything in my
02:09:08life. Will you marry me, MIA Beaumont? Tears start streaming down her face as she smiles at me.
02:09:16Yes dot yes yes yes. She shouts. I start tearing up myself, and I let out a breath I didn't know
02:09:23I was holding. I put the ring on her finger and kiss her hand. She hugs me and places a soft sweet
02:09:30kiss on my lips. I pull her closer, deepening the kiss. Will you dance with me or more? I ask and
02:09:38she takes my hand. We sway gently to the music, enjoying each other's presence, my forehead resting
02:09:44on hers. The second song comes to an end, and we pull away, smiling. I love you too, MIA says and
02:09:52pulls me in for a long kiss. We go back to the ceremony, and my family looks at us.
02:09:59Well, my father asks. She said yes, I shout and they all cheer. Ladies and gentlemen,
02:10:07MIA Beaumont is no longer my girlfriend. She is now my fiancée. I announce happily.
02:10:14The crowd cheers and Lorenzo fist bumps me. Way to go, brother. He says. Congratulations, guys.
02:10:23Emma says, hugging MIA. MIA shows her and Bria the ring, and they three squeal like little kids.
02:10:30We laugh at them and I smile, knowing my baby is now my fiancée. I push MIA against the wall,
02:10:37kissing her everywhere. She pulls my face towards hers, devouring my lips. We start to make out,
02:10:43full of passion and lust. We're both stripped naked in a minute, and she falls to her knees.
02:10:49She takes my manhood into her mouth, licking the tip and taking me deeper and deeper.
02:10:55Fuck. She moves along my length, making me groan. It feels so damn good. I pick her up and she wraps
02:11:02her legs around my waist. I push her onto the bed, kissing her until I reach her glistening pussy.

02:11:15The uncensored version is available on Google Books or as an e-book or paperback versions,
02:11:21available in most retailers. Luca. What do you want, baby? You. I want you. I take no time in
02:11:31pounding into her, her moans matching my groans and pants. She meets me thrust by thrust as we
02:11:37move together in sync. I feel her shake as she orgasms and cries out my name in ecstasy.
02:11:43I soon reach my climax too, filling her up. She looks fucking sexy with my cum flowing out.
02:11:50I kiss her asking, whose are you? Yours, Luca, she replies against my lips.
02:11:56I smile and pull away. Yes, mine and mine only. We fall asleep, our legs intertwined
02:12:02and sweaty bodies stuck together. Chapter 23. Mia's Pov.
02:12:10Two weeks later. I wake up to a heavy weight on my belly and look down to see Luca's arm on me.
02:12:17Suddenly feeling the urge to throw up, I run to the bathroom emptying all the contents.
02:12:23I brush my teeth and do the necessities but I feel sick. I get back in bed, too lazy to
02:12:29do anything. Morning amore, Luca says as he kisses my forehead. Morning, I murmur.
02:12:38You okay? He sweetly asks. Yeah, just feeling a bit sick. It's probably gonna be that time of
02:12:46the month. Luca chuckles. Alright. If you feel like it, let's go to the city with Vito tonight
02:12:55so we can have dinner and all. It's okay if you wanna stay in though.
02:13:00No. I think I wanna go. It'll probably help my mood. Sure. Whatever my fiancé wants, she gets.
02:13:10He says kissing me. I instantly feel better. Still can't believe we're now engaged.
02:13:17Luca left for work and I'm in the kitchen with the girls. They're making something for lunch,
02:13:22seafood I think. As soon as they take it out of the oven, the strong smell fills my nose
02:13:27and bile rises up my throat. I rush to the bathroom again as the girls watch me worriedly.
02:13:34You okay? Bria asks. Yeah. I probably ate something bad last night. Ah. Poor thing.
02:13:44Maybe you should see the doctor, Emma says. No I'm fine, I say but deep inside I know I'm not.
02:13:51Wait what if you're pregnant? She asks. Yeah you should get tested, Bria says.
02:13:57But I'm on birth control, I say. Just do it. You never know.
02:14:04So I went to the store and got a test. I had just peed on the stick like the box instructs
02:14:09and I'm waiting. I'm nervous as fuck. Three minutes have passed. And it's time.
02:14:16I slowly look at the results and I see it. Fuck. Two lines. I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant?
02:14:25Oh my god. I start panicking as I think of how Luca would react and if he even wanted a baby.
02:14:32Baby. There's an actual baby in my stomach. I place my hands on my belly, not believing that
02:14:40there's an actual being growing inside there. I start crying until some time. It's evening
02:14:46and I should get ready for dinner. I put on a pink silk top with some black jeans and a belt.
02:14:52I choose a bright red lipstick and put on some jewelry. I finish the look with some black stiletto
02:14:58heels and I'm ready. You look stunning Amore. Luca walks in with Vito in his arms.
02:15:05How are you feeling? Better. Mama? Yes baby. How are you? I ask Vito as he asks me to carry him.
02:15:16Diego is driving us tonight and we drive downtown. We have dinner at a fancy restaurant
02:15:22and decide to walk. The sun is beginning to set and the weather is nice. We walk down the streets,
02:15:29Luca's hand on my waist and Vito in his other hand. Everything is peaceful until we hear
02:15:35gunshots out of nowhere. Diego shoots back at them as some of our men arrive for backup.
02:15:41Luca quickly hides me behind him with Vito in his arms. Luca's POV. I knew something like this
02:15:49could happen any time so my men were always around ready for backup. The Russians are back.
02:15:55They keep firing at us and our men shoot back at them. Then there comes the devil himself.
02:16:01Well, well, well, if it isn't the happy family. What do you want? I growl, my gun pointed at him.
02:16:09I wanted you. Your position. But you didn't give up too easily. So I'm here to take the easier
02:16:17route for myself but maybe harder for you. You should have given up when you had the chance.
02:16:23He pulls a gun out and aims at Vito and before I know it I hear a loud bang as he pulled the
02:16:28trigger. Everything was in slow motion after that. No. I hear someone shout and I watch as
02:16:36my fiancee drops to the ground. MIA. I scream. She had jumped in front of me and Vito, taking
02:16:44the bullet that was supposed to hit us. I rush to her limp body as blood seeped out between her
02:16:50chest and stomach. I push down on her wound to make it stop. MIA baby no no no. Stay with me
02:16:59stay with me. I can't look her eye I love you she says and her eyes close. No no no baby no.
02:17:07I'm crying as I try to shake her. Diego calls for backup and it soon arrives.
02:17:13Fucking Nikolai laughs at us and I whip my gun out and shoot him in both legs.
02:17:18He falls to the ground groaning and my men tie him up. We're back at the mansion and MIA is now
02:17:24in surgery. It's been four fucking hours and she's not out yet. Not a word from our doctor.
02:17:31I'm dead worried. She'll be fine. My dad says. MIA's a fighter. She's strong. My mom says hugging
02:17:40me. I cry into her shoulder unable to say anything. The doors open and our doctor walks out.
02:17:48She's stable now. Luca can I have a word with you? I nod quickly and follow him concerned that
02:17:56something has happened to MIA. Once we're out of earshot he speaks. She's out of the woods for now.
02:18:03You're lucky the baby survived though. Wait hold up. Did you say baby? Oh you didn't know.
02:18:11He says. Your fiance is six weeks pregnant. She's what? She's pregnant. Congratulations Luca.
02:18:21You're gonna be a father. I look at him like he's grown two heads trying to process the
02:18:27information he just gave me. Alright. Snap out of it he says. MIA lost a lot of blood and the
02:18:35bullet missed the baby by a fraction so you're gonna have to be extra careful. She'll wake up
02:18:40between two days and a week depending on how she responds and all. You can go see her. I nod and
02:18:47tell the family the situation not including the pregnancy of course. I still don't know how to
02:18:53react to that. I go into MIA's makeshift hospital room which is her old room. Her eyes are closed
02:19:00and her eyebrows are slightly furrowed. Her skin is pale and my heart breaks at the sight.
02:19:06Why did you do that baby? I ask her although she might not hear me. I take her hand in mine and
02:19:13rest it on her belly. Why didn't you tell me we're gonna be parents? Can you believe there's an actual
02:19:20baby in there? My eyes well up with tears but I try to smile. MIA Moore please wake up. I don't
02:19:28know what to do without you. Please please wake up soon. I need you. It's been four days and MIA
02:19:35still hasn't woken up. I'm getting worried and I don't know what to do. I look terrible. I haven't
02:19:43slept or eaten in days. All I can think about is my fiancé and my baby. As for Nikolai we've cut
02:19:50his limbs and tortured him but we're keeping him alive so that he'll suffer. I won't kill him
02:19:56till he apologizes to my queen when she wakes up. I look at MIA's pale face wanting so much to see
02:20:02her smile. Vito is with me today. Amor look Vito misses you so much. He also can't wait to see his
02:20:12little sister. Yes I want it to be a girl but I wouldn't mind if it's a boy either. I'll love
02:20:18them both the same. Please wake up Amor Mio so we can talk to our baby together. MIA's path
02:20:26my eyelids are heavy. I can't open them. I hear Luca's voice but I can't see him. I want to see
02:20:34him. Something caresses my face. Mama I hear a small voice say Vito. I feel a small funny kiss
02:20:43on my cheek. It makes me smile. I force my eyes open. Luca is sitting beside me with Vito on his
02:20:51lap. They're looking at me as Luca talks to him. I reach out my hand so I can hold his.
02:20:58He looks at me surprised. Amore you're awake. Luca. I say my voice is hoarse and my throat hurts.
02:21:07Here have some water. He hands me the glass and I drink it slowly the coolness soothing my throat.
02:21:14My hands instinctively go to my belly and Luca smiles. The baby's okay. I nod relieved. Why
02:21:22didn't you tell me Amore? I just found out that day and I didn't know how to tell you I say.
02:21:29Amore I was so worried. What if something happened to you or the baby? He started crying as he said
02:21:37this. Hey it's okay. I'm okay now. We're okay. I tell him hugging him. Don't ever do that again.
02:21:47I was dead scared. Sorry Amore mio. I just had to save Vito I say kissing him. The doctor walked in
02:21:56and scolded Luca for not letting him know I was awake. Alright you'll need lots of rest and you
02:22:02shouldn't move so much. And Luca take her to the hospital next week so she can get an ultrasound.
02:22:08We don't have those things here so find a doctor he instructs. Luca nods before coming to sit
02:22:14beside me. So a baby huh? Yep. It scares the shit out of me. I place my palm on my stomach and Luca
02:22:24places hands his hand over mine. Seeing what we were doing Vito quickly reaches out to out his
02:22:30tiny hand on my belly too but a little too close to the wound making me wince a little.
02:22:35Whoa easy. Luca says taking Vito's hand. We don't want to hurt mama do we? Vito looks at him
02:22:43before turning back to his hand in Luca's. Luca places it on my belly and I smile at him.
02:22:50See? Gentle. There's a baby inside there Luca says smiling at Vito. You're gonna be a big brother
02:22:58I say and he starts saying things we can't understand. Luca tells me Vito has started
02:23:04crawling a lot and all the things that happened while I was unconscious. The door opens and the
02:23:10whole family walks in. My parents rush over to me and give me a gentle hug. Thank goodness.
02:23:17They say. Emma pats my shoulder and says. Bitch I thought I lost my bestie. Me too.
02:23:25Bria chimes in. Thanks for saving my nephew. Mateo says. Luca looks at me and I know what he's
02:23:34thinking so I nod in approval. Speaking of nephew we have an announcement for everyone.
02:23:40He comes over to me and places his hand in mine. Mia and I are expecting. Everyone looks shocked
02:23:48and surprised. No way. Am I going to be an aunt? Bria asks jumping up and down. Hold on a sec.
02:23:58You took a bullet while carrying a fucking baby. Lorenzo says in disbelief. Dan you're one badass
02:24:05woman sis. Language Lorenzo. I say gesturing towards Vito. Sorry. He mutters. Congratulations
02:24:16Mia. Elena says smiling at me and holds my hand. Nice job son. Roberto says to Luca.
02:24:24How far along are you? My dad asks. Six weeks? Luca says and I smile looking at my non-visible
02:24:32bump. So how are you feeling? My mom asks looking concerned. Better. Just a bit tired.
02:24:41She nods and they leave me to rest taking Vito with them. You okay Amore? Luca asks.
02:24:49Yeah I'm fine. But you don't look so good. I'm okay. I just haven't slept in days.
02:24:57Come here. I pat this face beside me. You sure? I don't want to hurt you or the baby. Relax I'm
02:25:06fine and the baby's only six weeks. He nods but looks uncertain as he settles down beside me.
02:25:12Don't worry baby. You'll be a great father. I tell him brushing the hair out of his face.
02:25:19Yeah. You sure? Definitely. You already are. I know but it's different. I wasn't with Vito's
02:25:27mom when he was born and all. But I'm here now and it kind of scares me. He rubs the back of his
02:25:33neck and laughs nervously. We'll take this one step at a time. To be honest I'm horrified too.
02:25:41He chuckles. You'll be an amazing mother. My eyelids feel heavy and I drift off to sleep.
02:25:50Chapter 24. Mia's Pov. It's been two weeks and I'm almost healed. Luca has stopped me
02:25:57from moving too much and I'm low-key annoyed. I'll bring you breakfast. He says getting up to
02:26:04leave. Babe I can go downstairs and eat. Amore, the doctor told you not to move much. But I want
02:26:12to see everyone, I say hoping the excuse will work. I'll tell them to come up. Amore? I groan
02:26:20in frustration. I'm pregnant. It's not like I broke my legs or something. I'm going down to eat.
02:26:28I'm really really mad at this point. These fucking hormones. Alright alright. Just be careful.
02:26:36I sit up and walk past him, bumping his shoulder in the process. He grabs my wrist and spins me
02:26:42around so I'm facing him, my face inches away from his. Amore? I don't look at him. Look at me.
02:26:51I'm sorry okay. I'm just worried about you and the baby. He lifts my chin to look at me,
02:26:58concern evident in his eyes. I look away, suddenly feeling bad for my sudden outburst.
02:27:05Are you still mad? He asks softly. I'm sorry. It's the hormones, I say tears threatening to
02:27:12spill down my face I didn't mean to overreact. A few tears make their way down my cheek. Hey hey.
02:27:20It's okay, Amore. Don't cry baby. Come here. I nod, trying not to laugh at how silly I look
02:27:28right now. Just let me know if you feel uncomfortable, okay? I nod before tiptoeing
02:27:35to kiss him. He chuckles against my lips and leads me downstairs. How are you feeling? My mom asks.
02:27:43I'm okay, I tell her munching some salad. When do you plan on having the wedding?
02:27:49Elena asks looking at our intertwined fingers, my engagement ring glistening in the light.
02:27:55We thought we'd have it after the baby is born and all. We figured Mia would be more comfortable
02:28:01then. Everyone nods in agreement as we continue eating. I'm laying on the bed as Luca walks out
02:28:09of the shower in just a towel. He looks hot, water beads dangling from his wet hair and he
02:28:14shakes them off. His muscles flexing as he does. I eye him up and down, feeling heat rushing to
02:28:21my core. I'm being so horny these days. Yep, gotta blame it on the hormones. He catches me checking
02:28:28him out and smirks. Like the view? I say nothing and turn away blushing, feeling embarrassed of
02:28:35being caught. Chuckling, he pulls me up and kisses me softly and I marvel at the feel of his cold
02:28:41lips. My hands travel down his torso and slightly tug at his towel. He smiles against my lips before
02:28:48whispering in my ear, perks of you being pregnant. I scoff and he laughs. What? It makes you horny
02:28:56and I like it. I pull roughly at his towel, making it drop to the floor revealing his manhood.
02:29:03Wasting no time, he pushes me on the bed, hovering over me, his hands supporting his weight.
02:29:08He removes my panties and rubs his fingers along my entrance, my wetness gathering on his fingers.
02:29:15Aligning himself, he thrusts into me making me moan out in pleasure. His movements are steady,
02:29:20slow at first, before gaining speed. Our moans fill the room in harmony. He grunts and I scream
02:29:27as I'm about to come, but he kisses me capturing the escaping sounds. We reach our climax together
02:29:33and he pants as we relax, our heartbeats slowing down. We lay face to face, his hands wrapped
02:29:39tightly around my sweaty body. We have an appointment tomorrow, right? I nod, looking
02:29:45into his eyes. Are you nervous? I ask him. A little bit, but I'm excited. Do you want a boy
02:29:54or a girl? I don't know. I want both? He chuckles. We can always make more babies.
02:30:03I shake my head, smiling at the thought before closing my eyes and listening to his heartbeat.
02:30:09We walk into the doctor's office, my heart beating so fast it might explode.
02:30:14Hello, Mr. and Mrs. D'Angelo. Please have a seat. I'm a friend of Antonio, your doctor,
02:30:21and he explained your injury, the 30-ish lady said gesturing to my wound.
02:30:26If you'll lie here and lift your shirt, I'll do an ultrasound for you. I do just that,
02:30:32and she applies some cold gel before sliding the equipment around my stomach.
02:30:37I hear faint heartbeats and tears start falling. My baby, dot the heartbeat is like music to my
02:30:42ears. I look over to Luca, who's also holding back his tears, hand on his chest. He smiles at me,
02:30:50his other hand reaching to hold mine. Here's your baby, she points at the screen.
02:30:55I admire my little blip and smile. The baby is healthy. I'll get the pictures for you.
02:31:03We'll schedule an appointment next month for a checkup. She leaves the room and Luca hugs me.
02:31:09Amore. I can't believe what I heard. We're really having a baby. Our baby's heartbeat is so
02:31:17beautiful. I smile at his words, feeling so overwhelmed. I'm gonna be a mom. As soon as we
02:31:24walk into the house, Emma and Bria rushes to us. Show me, show me. I show them the picture and
02:31:31Bria squeals, eeee. My nephew. I love you already. Lorenzo chimes in, hey. It can be a girl too,
02:31:41you know. He smiles at my belly before giving Luca a fist bump. Proud of you bro. I hope it's
02:31:49a girl, Matteo says walking out of the kitchen, coffee in hand. A boy. Emma argues. Girl. The
02:31:58boys stay in unison. Boy. Girl. Boy. I shake my head, laughing as they continue to argue.
02:32:08Y'all it's my kid. Not yours. Now shut up. Boy or girl, he or she is gonna have amazing aunts
02:32:16and uncles. And you're all gonna love him or her. They all smile, knowing they'll love the baby
02:32:22just like they love Vito. Chapter 25. Luca's POV. I'm woken up by shuffling. I open my eyes to see
02:32:34M.I.A. rushing to the bathroom. The morning sickness is affecting her so much, she looks so
02:32:39pale these days. I would take the suffering if I could. It's okay baby. Take deep breaths I say,
02:32:47holding up her hair. I help her to the bed and she lies down. I'll get you a glass of water.
02:32:54Okay? My mom is in the kitchen when I go to get it. M.I.A. She asks knowingly. Yeah,
02:33:04it happens almost every morning now. I feel really bad that I can't do anything about it.
02:33:10Just be there for her. Pregnancy is hard so she needs your support. My mom pats my back and leaves
02:33:17with a small smile. Miz has her back to the door when I get back. Amor, are you okay? She nods and
02:33:24gets up to drink the water. Luca. Yes baby? Can we travel somewhere? You want to go on a trip
02:33:34in this condition. It's going to be worse later on. I just want to go somewhere while I can.
02:33:41Okay then. We'll go but we'll have to consult your doctor first. She nods and smiles in
02:33:47agreement. M.I.A.'s Pov. The doctor said I was fine to go, so here we are in the car driving
02:33:54to the airport. We decided to go to an island that Luca owns so that we can have peace and quiet.
02:34:02I just realized it's Vito's first trip. Luca says holding Vito's hand as he sleeps in my arms.
02:34:08I smile at the little angel and admire his features. He looks so much like Luca,
02:34:14they have the same eyelashes long and curly. The trip was an excuse actually. Luca's birthday is
02:34:21next week and I wanted to spend some time with him alone. Luca's private plane comes into view
02:34:27and Diego carries the bags. Luca takes Vito from me and holds out his hand for me. I follow him
02:34:34and we go into the bedroom at the end of the plane. I yawn, feeling a bit tired. I couldn't
02:34:41sleep last night. Why don't you take a nap? It's gonna be a while. Luca helps me into bed
02:34:48and I fall asleep. When I wake up, we have arrived. The island is beautiful and Luca's
02:34:55house is huge. The waves roll gently onto the white sand as the sun makes it sparkle.
02:35:00The water is a clear blue and the air is salty. We settle down and relax for the rest of the day.
02:35:09We've been here for 4 days and today is my birthday. Mia wasn't in bed when I woke up,
02:35:15so I'm trying to find her. I spot her in the kitchen, making breakfast, in just my white
02:35:20shirt and white lace panties. She has that pregnancy glow and she looks fucking sexy.
02:35:26She sways her hips to the music playing from her phone while she tries to make what looks like
02:35:30avocado toast. I watch her, admiring her beauty and the way her perky ass peeps out from beneath
02:35:37the shirt with her every movement. I go to her and slide my hands around her waist, startling her.
02:35:44You're awake. Happy birthday, Amore. She turns and gives me a long slow kiss.
02:35:50Here I made coffee. She hands me my cup and comes to sit beside me.
02:35:56How are you feeling? How's our little bean? We're both fine, thank you. We enjoy our meal
02:36:03and talk about our baby. When we're done, I walk into the living room and see white balloons with
02:36:09our pictures on each and every one of them. Small white hearts are scattered around the floor
02:36:15and a small box is placed on the table in the center. There's a red heart under it with a
02:36:20big we love you and two handprints. One I assume is Mia's and another is Vito's.
02:36:26What makes me smile is the little small hand-drawn handprint in the center.
02:36:31That's our babies, Mia explains and I beam at her. When did you prepare all this? Last night.
02:36:40Amore, did you even sleep? You shouldn't be losing sleep you know.
02:36:45I know. I slept once I was done. Don't worry. She hands me the black box. Open it. I look at her
02:36:55and shake it, trying to guess what it is. Inside is a minimalist watch with a black leather strap.
02:37:02It looks really exquisite and just my type. Thank you, baby. You didn't have to. Turn it over,
02:37:09she says. I turn it over, looking puzzled, and see our initials engraved on it. The date of the
02:37:16day we first met below it. Wow, dot you really thought of everything. I tell her. She went to
02:37:24get Vito and just came back, Vito on her hip. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I say smothering
02:37:30her with kisses. I give my boy a little kiss before putting the watch on. We spend the rest
02:37:37of our stay swimming, sunbathing, and lastly, having lots of sex. And it feels amazing every
02:37:43single time. Chapter 26. Mia's Pov. Our baby is due in over a month, and we decided to keep the
02:37:53gender a surprise. I've been having pains in my stomach all morning. I actually don't feel so
02:38:00good, and Luca is getting worried. Amore, it's not fine. I see that you're uncomfortable,
02:38:07and you're not feeling well. Come. We're going to the hospital. I don't want to get out of bed.
02:38:15Fine. I'll call the doctor and see what we can do. He gets up to grab his phone and starts calling
02:38:22my doctor. He ends the call and walks toward my side of the bed. She says it's best if you get
02:38:28hospitalized, since you had the injury and the baby may come soon and all. I groan, not wanting
02:38:34to see those plain white walls at the hospital again. He crouches down so he's at my eye level
02:38:40and moves my hair away from my face. We'll go in the evening or tomorrow, okay? I nod,
02:38:47clearly not happy with the idea of being hospitalized for a whole freaking month.
02:38:52Luca has already missed so much work looking after me, and he probably will have to do more
02:38:58if I'm at the hospital. I don't notice I'm frowning until he kisses my furrowed brows
02:39:03and gets in bed beside me. Don't give mama so much trouble, little one. Luca says, rubbing my
02:39:10belly. I feel the baby kick in response, making Luca smile. The baby always responds to his touch.
02:39:17I remember the first time it happened. We had driven to a nice area overlooking the sea,
02:39:24and we were sitting together watching the sunset. My head was on Luca's shoulder,
02:39:29and we were talking about the baby. I suddenly felt a movement and quickly placed his hand on
02:39:35my belly so we could confirm it. The baby kicked so hard I winced, but Luca started tearing up.
02:39:41And of course, I started bawling my eyes out. It was so emotional, yet so special for both of us.
02:39:48You okay, honey? You look pale. My mom says, I'm fine. Just feeling a bit sick.
02:39:57My mom nods and hugs me before leaving with a cup of coffee.
02:40:01Emma and Bria walk in, followed by the guys.
02:40:05Mia, you look really, really sick. I think you should see the doctor. Emma says, concerned.
02:40:12Yeah, we will. Luca says, handing me a cup of apple juice.
02:40:17The guys talk about work, and of course the rest of us get caught up in girl talk.
02:40:22Suddenly, I feel something wet and look down. There's a puddle at my legs. I did not just pee
02:40:28myself. My thoughts are cut off by a sharp pain shooting up my spine, followed by one in the
02:40:34stomach. I let out a pitchy scream. Shit. I say in realization. Amore, what happened? Are you okay?
02:40:44It's coming. What? Luca, the baby is coming. I was panicking, but Luca was frozen like a statue.
02:40:55Luca! I cry out in pain, snapping him out from his trance.
02:41:00Dude, Diego get the car ready, Mateo says as Bria rushes to get my hospital bag.
02:41:06Emma rushes to my side to help me stand. The pain was getting worse now. Lorenzo was shaking a very
02:41:13shocked Luca. Luca dude. My sister is in pain, and your baby is on the way. Fucking do something.
02:41:22Shit shit shit. It's really happening, he mutters. I'm in labor. Finally, the man of the hour helps
02:41:30me into the car as we rush to the hospital. Luca holds my hand, whispering sweet nothings in my
02:41:36ear as I breathe heavily, trying to endure the pain. Luca's POV. We arrive at the hospital,
02:41:44and I quickly rush to a nearby nurse to let her know. We are taken to a room, and the doctor
02:41:50starts examining her. Mr. D'Angelo, your wife is seven centimeters dilated, so we must wait till
02:41:56she's ready. I'm sorry, but it's too late for an epidural. She says and walks out of the room.
02:42:04It's okay, Amore. Just breathe, take deep breaths. MIA is sweating a lot, and it hurts to see her in
02:42:11so much pain. I wish I could do something. Soon, she's 10 centimeters dilated, and the doctor
02:42:18starts the process. Okay, honey, I need you to push when we tell you to. I give MIA my hand,
02:42:25and she nods. Push. Several minutes pass, and she's still pushing. Okay, one last push, dear.
02:42:33You can do this. MIA pushes with all her energy, her hand squeezing mine so hard it hurts,
02:42:40but I don't mind if it makes her feel better. She's probably suffering a thousand times more
02:42:45pain than this. After a few seconds, we hear a cry. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. D'Angelo.
02:42:53It's a girl. You did great, Amore, I whisper. The nurse hands me my baby girl, and my heart swells.
02:43:00She's beautiful, just like her mom. She has her mother's eyes brown and full of light.
02:43:06I turn towards MIA, and she smiles at our little bundle of joy. Tears stream down her face,
02:43:12and I softly wipe them away. The nurse takes our baby to check up on her and stuffs, and I watch
02:43:18MIA sleep. Chapter 27. Lucas POV. It's been about two months since our baby was born.
02:43:28She's a healthy little girl, and she has the same hair color as mine.
02:43:32Vito is a loving big brother, although he still can't talk much. He loves to cuddle with her,
02:43:38and he likes playing with her hands. Vito, gentle on the baby. I scold him.
02:43:45Baby, he says looking at his sister. It's okay, baby boy. Just don't be too rough, MIA says.
02:43:54We named our baby girl Rose. It just seems fitting for a pretty girl like her.
02:43:59I'm gonna have to deal with a lot of boys when she grows up. It's definitely gonna be a headache.
02:44:06Just wait till she gets married, MIA would tease me. The past few months have been amazing,
02:44:12we've had so much fun as a family. Also, our wedding is next month. MIA decided she wanted
02:44:19to get back in shape before wearing her dress and all. MIA's POV. We decided to go out for
02:44:26dinner tonight. We hadn't really gone out since Rose was born. I wore a black off-shoulder dress
02:44:32with a pair of nude heels. It's been so long since I last wore heels like these. MIA's dress
02:44:39above carrot. We made it to our car, and we get the kids settled in their car seats as Diego starts
02:44:45the car. We made our way to a fancy little restaurant and had a nice cozy little dinner.
02:44:52I watched as Luca fed Vito, who looked so eager when he saw the food. He loves to eat. I feed Rose
02:44:59my pre-pumped breast milk as Vito watches. I feel kinda bad he didn't get to breastfeed much when
02:45:04he was younger, but he did have some of my milk after Rose was born. He's a little over a year now,
02:45:11so he prefers eating food instead of milk now, but he still asks for it sometimes.
02:45:17You like the food? Luca asks me and I nod, smiling at the pasta. It's amazing? Not as
02:45:24amazing as your food. My restaurant is doing really well. It is in fact becoming famous among
02:45:31both rich and regular customers. Many people come to do business, but most of them come to enjoy the
02:45:38food. I'm very proud and so is Luca. Luca's Pov. Diego brings the car to the entrance and I strap
02:45:46the kids in. Mia climb in on one side while I sit on the other, the kids between. We pull out the
02:45:53driveway and get stuck at the traffic lights. The kids are asleep and Mia seems a bit tired too.
02:46:00Just as we pass the intersection, a car comes speeding towards us and collides with Mia's side
02:46:05of the car. Everything happens in slow motion, and I am brought back to the present when I hear
02:46:11ticking. Diego grabs the kids in their car seats, and I quickly carry a now unconscious Mia out of
02:46:17the car. Diego manages to cross the road with the kids, but we don't get far from the car when it
02:46:23blew up into flames. I shield Mia with my body as some glass pierces my legs. What the fuck?
02:46:30Mia was still not conscious. She hit her head pretty hard, and a big piece of glass cut her
02:46:36arm. I looked up to see Diego shielding my kids and I sigh, relieved. We manage to get to the
02:46:42hospital, as doctors rush around examining her. Mr. D'Angelo, we need to do a CT scan for your wife.
02:46:51Seems like she had a bad concussion. Doctor she's losing too much blood, a nurse shouts.
02:46:57The glass also cut an important artery, so we need to do a blood transfusion right now,
02:47:02he explains. I feel weak hearing all this. My wife and my amore. I hope she's okay.
02:47:10They do all they have to do, and the doctor comes to tell me that the concussion is bad and she's in
02:47:15a coma. Just as we're talking, the monitor beeps loudly, causing everyone to rush to her.
02:47:22My heart beats so fast. No, this can't be happening. Her heart rate dropping. I hear
02:47:28someone shout, as they do CPR or whatever the fuck it is they do. I rush to her but they stop
02:47:35me halfway. No. Chapter 28. Lucas POV. She's back. Thank God. She's alive. She's okay.
02:47:49Mr. D'Angelo, she's stable now, but we have to keep a close eye on her. She'll be okay.
02:47:56The doctor smiles at me. I hold Mia's hand, tears falling down my face.
02:48:02Sir? A nurse asks me from behind. I turn to look at her, and she points to my foot.
02:48:08You're bleeding. They give me a few stitches, but it's not as bad as Mia's.
02:48:14She had eight stitches on her arm, the glass cut pretty deep.
02:48:18MIA is now transferred to a VIP room, and I'm currently with Diego, having my babies checked.
02:48:24They weren't injured, luckily. MIA took most of the impact, but they would still be frightened
02:48:30by the bomb and all. Hopefully their hearing won't be damaged, cause it was pretty loud,
02:48:35even my ears are still ringing a bit. Mia's parents are with her. The rest are here too.
02:48:42The kids are fine. Your son may have a few nightmares for a while, but they will disappear
02:48:48over time. Your daughter may not remember any of this as she's very young, but she too may cry
02:48:54often. They are both okay otherwise, the doctor says. I nod, not being able to speak. My throat
02:49:02hurts and my heart aches for MIA. She's been hurt before, she'll probably suffer more this time.
02:49:08I finally carry Rose to Mia's room, while Vito is in Diego's arms.
02:49:13My parents offer to watch them for a while, while I check on MIA. Her eyes are closed and thank God
02:49:19she looks calm. I pray to God that she wakes up soon. I need her back. I was always an independent
02:49:26man, but now I can't seem to function without her. She has become my backbone, my life.
02:49:33Mia more please wake up. I need you. The kids need you. How can I look after Rose alone?
02:49:41Who's going to sing Vito to sleep? Please Amor, please stay strong for us.
02:49:46I hope she hears me, I really hope she does. Rose starts crying and I had a lot of trouble trying
02:49:52to calm her down. I cried beside MIA, but I can't cry in front of my kids. They're watching my face.
02:50:00I must be strong for them too. Two weeks have passed and I have had sleepless nights.
02:50:06Rose has been crying a lot like the doctor said, and Vito has had nightmares six times during these
02:50:11two weeks. I was able to get MIA transferred to our house, so I could keep her close.
02:50:17The only movement she has had is her fingers reacting to my touch, but that's all. My mom
02:50:23and Violeta helps watch Vito, but Rose doesn't let me leave her. She always clutches to my clothes
02:50:29when I try to leave. I can't leave the room without her. Amor, how are you today? If you can
02:50:36hear me, remember we love you. I put Vito's and Rose's hands in hers so she can feel their warmth
02:50:42and presence. She looks beautiful, even in a coma. I brush her hair from her face and kiss her.
02:50:50Her eyebrows become furrowed and I see some around her eyes. I quickly call Antonio,
02:50:56and he doesn't take long to arrive. Just as he does, MIA's eyes flutter several times before
02:51:02they finally open. She struggles to keep them open, but Antonio does a quick check and tells
02:51:07me she's okay. Amor, you're awake. A tear slips down her cheek and I quickly wipe it away.
02:51:16Am I a baby? It's okay. You're okay now. She stares at me and I give her a kiss.
02:51:23You need to rest, baby. I'll be here when you wake up. Her eyes close soon and she falls asleep.
02:51:30Relief washes over me and I feel extremely grateful MIA's awake.
02:51:35Wanting to be there when she wakes up, I rush to take a shower and feed the kids.
02:51:40MIA's pumped breast milk had run out last week and my mom had to help me breastfeed Rose while
02:51:45MIA was unconscious. It was a struggle to get her to sit up and all, but we managed to do it.
02:51:52I finally eat something hearty and return to her room. It doesn't take long for her to wake up
02:51:58again. This goes on for a few days. She wakes up a few times during the day, but only for a short
02:52:04period of time, then sleeps the whole day. Chapter 29. Lucas POV.
02:52:13MIA's recovering now. She has headaches from time to time but the doctor says she's doing great.
02:52:19Vito is walking now, so he walks around MIA's room every day when she's resting.
02:52:24He would bring his toys from the nursery and play there. He doesn't have the nightmares anymore
02:52:30and Rose doesn't cry much now, although she can be feisty sometimes.
02:52:35Luca. Yes, Amor. I need to plan the wedding. MIA. You're still not well. We can postpone it
02:52:45till you've recovered completely. But I want to get married next month. Knowing that I can't argue
02:52:52with her, I agree. Fine. I'll hire a wedding planner then, but promise me that you won't
02:52:58overwork yourself. Okay. I won't. I promise. I kiss her forehead and get ready for the day.
02:53:08We found out the cause of our accident and apparently Nikolai had ordered someone to kill us,
02:53:13my heir especially, before we killed him. We found the man tortured and killed him too.
02:53:19My family is finally safe but until how long I do not know. This is mafia life and I don't really
02:53:26like it. MIA said she's going out with Emma and Bria to find a wedding dress and all that stuff.
02:53:33I'm just gonna work today. MIA's POV. I'm feeling so much better. My head was pounding so hard for
02:53:41days after I woke up, I thought it might explode. It's now just slight headaches, nothing serious.
02:53:47So we're looking at wedding dresses and the girls are browsing through the showcase dresses and
02:53:52pointing at ones they like. There are at least 10 that they chose and I can already tell it's
02:53:57going to be a long day. I'm on dress number 8 and still not satisfied. My head is aching,
02:54:04but I'm determined to find the perfect one. The last two dresses are not bad but it's still not
02:54:09me. Miss, there's one new special edition dress if you'd like to see. It's quite expensive though,
02:54:16the sales assistant says. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but Luca insisted I find the best
02:54:22dress and buy what I love, no matter the price. I'd like to see it. I tell her and she takes me
02:54:29to a section and opens a curtain, revealing the most beautiful dress I have ever seen.
02:54:35It's an off-shoulder backless lace dress. It's beautiful. This is it. I love it! I exclaim and
02:54:43the girl sighs in relief. I try it on and the girls squeal in excitement. Wow! You look amazing!
02:54:52Emma says. Damn girl! This is so nice! Bria shouts. After paying and whatnot, we go back home.
02:55:01The wedding planner came by for our first meeting that evening and we talked about what I wanted
02:55:07the wedding to be like and she will do the rest. I sink into the bed, tired of all the activities.
02:55:14Rubbing my temples, I close my eyes to relax. I hear the bathroom door open and Luca walks in,
02:55:20shirtless. Water is dripping from his hair and my eyes trail his toned torso down to the
02:55:26versus shape peeking out from his towel. You feeling okay? He asks and I smirk. Much better.
02:55:34Damn this man is hot! I can feel the tingly sensation down there already. It isn't helping
02:55:41that we haven't had sex since the accident. As if hearing my thoughts he stalks towards me,
02:55:46mischief in his eyes. Oh naughty are you? He asks. I pull him close and kiss him, devouring his lips.
02:55:56He pulls away and I huff in frustration. Someone's impatient, he says and chuckles.
02:56:02In one swift movement he's on top of me, towel deserted somewhere in the room.
02:56:07I stroke his length slowly, earning a groan from him. Soon I'm naked and his finger is sliding in
02:56:13and out of me, hitting the spot. I feel myself tremble. I'm close. Come for me baby! I close my
02:56:21eyes and release all over his fingers. Before I can recover, he's inside me pumping in and out,
02:56:28hissing and sucking me everywhere. Fuck. I miss this. So tight. His thumb rubs circles on my clit
02:56:36as I moan in pleasure. I feel him pulse soon and he growls as he releases inside me. I scream his
02:56:44name as I climax at the same time. We fall onto the bed, panting and our sweaty bodies entangled.
02:56:51I missed making love to you. He whispers and I hum in response. Good night, Mio Amore.
02:56:58Good night. I say and kiss his forehead as we both fall into a deep slumber.
02:57:06Chapter 30. Chapter 19.
02:57:10Mia. I hear Luca's voice outside my door, barely above a whisper. Everyone forbade us to sleep
02:57:17together tonight. Feeling a rush of happiness, I ran to open the door as quiet as possible.
02:57:25Hey. I missed you. I said hugging him as soon as he closed the door.
02:57:30I missed you even more. Your fucking brother was so close to tying me to my bed.
02:57:36He grumbled. I chuckled at his annoyed expression and he kissed me slowly. It's fun actually,
02:57:44having to sneak out to meet each other. What are you smiling at? He asks me confused.
02:57:51Nothing. I can't believe we're getting married tomorrow. I know right. I can finally call you
02:57:58my husband. We spent a few minutes cuddling before Luca had to leave, very very reluctantly might I
02:58:05add. Lorenzo will kill me if he knows I snuck out to see his sister, was what he said. The next day,
02:58:14I am admiring myself in the mirror as I turn around checking if my dress looks okay.
02:58:19I hear someone knock on the door. It definitely can't be Luca, cause the girls.and guys haven't
02:58:26let us see each other since last night. Come in. Oh darling, you look beautiful, my mom says as
02:58:32soon as she sees me. My daughter. You're getting married. My dad holds my hand, and I think I
02:58:40might have caught a glimpse of a tear. Mom dad I love you guys. We love you too Mia. Luca is a
02:58:47lucky guy, and you're a lucky girl. You two were made for each other. I smile at their words and
02:58:54Vito runs in. Mama. Mama. Whoa. Come here baby boy. You look like a princess mama. Why thank
02:59:05you handsome little prince. Are you ready? He nods smiling. My baby boy is all grown up. He
02:59:14looks so handsome in his tux, his hair styled just like how his dad usually does it. Mia.
02:59:20Is that you? Emma exclaims, pretending to not recognize me for a dramatic effect.
02:59:27Wow girl, my brother is damn lucky. How did he end up with a queen? Bria says examining me.
02:59:35Thanks guys. Mia. Here are your shoes. Lorenzo says walking in. Wait, why do you have it?
02:59:44Um, Luca might have stole it. Just take it. He says rubbing his neck. Something was written
02:59:51on the sole of my heels. I love you always and forever, Emma Amore, it said. Luca's POV.
03:00:00Bro, you okay? My brother asks me. No, I'm not. My hands are shaking and I can't stay calm. Um,
03:00:08no. I'm nervous as fuck. He laughs at me like it's so funny. You? Nervous. The Mafia king nervous
03:00:18for his wedding is now my new favorite thing to watch. Lorenzo joked, punching my arm.
03:00:25Shut up. Here, Emma told me to give it to you. My shoes. I thought. Oh,
03:00:33Mia stole them. I stole hers too. Luca, you are my forever and I love you till the end of time.
03:00:41She wrote the words on the soles of my shoes and let me tell you, her handwriting is a work
03:00:45of art just like herself. I smile putting them on and straightening my suit. Rose is with my mom
03:00:52and last time I checked, she's doing okay. Luca's suit carrot. It's time. I'm standing
03:01:00nervously at the author. I swear I can feel sweat dripping down my neck. The doors open,
03:01:06revealing a very, very beautiful MIA. My heart beats faster as she approaches me.
03:01:13She looks like a Greek goddess. Mia's POV. I'm at the entrance of the church with my dad.
03:01:20We're so proud of you, Mia. Luca is a good man, he says kissing my forehead.
03:01:26I smile at him. I'm finally doing this. As soon as the doors open, we walk down the aisle and
03:01:33my eyes lock with Luca's. He looks extremely handsome today, but again when does he not
03:01:39look good? Wait, is the big Mafia man crying? Oh yes he is. His eyes are filled with tears,
03:01:46but he gives me his million-dollar smile. I smile back at him as my hands join his.
03:01:52The priest says whatever he has to, as we stare at each other with so much love and adoration.
03:01:59Do you Luca D'Angelo, take Mia Beaumont to be your lawfully wedded wife?
03:02:04I do, he says tears still filling his eyes. Do you Mia Beaumont, take Luca D'Angelo to be
03:02:10your lawfully wedded wife? I do, I say. I'm also crying at this point. I just pray my makeup
03:02:18remains intact. Vito gives us our rings and we exchange them. You may now kiss the bride.
03:02:26Luca doesn't waste a second to grab my waist and kisses me like it's only the two of us in the
03:02:31room. His hands crawl up my back as he pulls me closer to him. The cheers of the audience brings
03:02:37us back to reality and he pecks my lips before pulling away. I can't believe we're married.
03:02:44Luca says whispers in my ear. Me too. I love you. I love you too baby. I feel complete.
03:02:54This is what I've always wanted. Luca makes me happy. He completes me.
03:03:00Our kids are also the biggest blessings in our life.
03:03:03Epilogue. Four years later. Mia's Pov. I'm in the bedroom changing when Luca's hands snake around my
03:03:10waist, startling me. You scared me. M-M-H-M-M I missed my wife all day. He mumbles kissing my neck,
03:03:18making me giggle. Get the kids. It's time for dinner. I don't want dinner. I want you. He pouts.
03:03:29I literally had to drag him into the kitchen. As soon as the smell of seafood hit my nostrils,
03:03:38I felt nauseous so I had to rush to the bathroom. You okay Amore? Luca asks holding my hair.
03:03:46Shouldn't we see a doctor? It's been like what the sixth time this week.
03:03:51I shake my head weakly as I lean on the bathroom wall. I'm pregnant? What?
03:03:58I said, we're gonna have another baby. Luca looks at me jaw dropping. I'm gonna be a father again.
03:04:06He pulls me up and hugs me tight. Why didn't you tell me earlier? We're gonna have a little baby.
03:04:14Oh Mia thank you thank you. I laugh at his expression knowing he's excited. He's been
03:04:20having baby fever for the past few weeks. Luca's POV. I'm going to be a dad again.
03:04:28We're having a baby. I beam at Mia and she smiles, kissing my cheek. We had dinner and
03:04:34we're now in the bedroom. As Vito rushes in, Rose following behind. Mama. Rose says I'm not your
03:04:42real son. Is it true? Are you not my real mom? Vito starts crying. I stare at him with wide eyes
03:04:50and Mia looks just as shocked. Rose. Who told you? I heard Uncle Matteo and Aunt Emma talking.
03:04:59She says looking guilty. Vito come here. Mia says pulling him onto her lap. I may not have given
03:05:07birth to you but you are my son and you will always be my son. You won't understand what it
03:05:13means now but you will someday. You are my son Vito and I love you so much. Okay? Vito nods but
03:05:21the tears don't stop flowing. Mama and Dada loves you so much. Don't cry baby. She says rubbing his
03:05:28back. Rose is crying now too. Baby girl come here. I tell her. She runs to me, jumping into my lap.
03:05:38Did I do something wrong Dada? She asks me, hiding her face in my chest. No baby girl.
03:05:46It's not your fault. I didn't mean to. Rose. It's okay baby. We know you didn't mean it.
03:05:55Don't cry. We love you both so much alright? Mia says. They nod and we pull both of them into a
03:06:03big hug. It's a few days later. We went to the doctor and we are indeed having another baby.
03:06:11The kids are on the floor playing with their toys while me and Mia are cuddling on the couch.
03:06:17Should we tell them? I ask her. Sure. Why not? Rose. Vito. Come here. She calls.
03:06:28You're going to be a big brother and sister. There's another baby in Mama's stomach.
03:06:34I tell them. A baby? Rose asks. M-M-H-M-M. A little brother or sister? Vito looks a bit
03:06:44worried and Rose looks confused. Even if the baby comes, we will still love you both the same.
03:06:50You'll love the baby right? Mia asks as they look curiously at her. Vito sits on my lap and puts his
03:06:58hand on her belly. Mia smiles pulling Rose onto her lap. Emma and Mateo are now engaged and Lorenzo
03:07:06is going to propose to Bria soon. Diego is happily married and the mafia is doing really well.
03:07:13We do more of the legal business now. This is it. Our family. The life I've always wanted.
03:07:22I love Mia with all my heart and I will always love our babies. I can't imagine life without
03:07:28them. It's us together forever. I love you. Mia tells me kissing my cheek. I love you.
03:07:37I say and kiss her forehead. The End.
03:07:43Next book, Vito Sneak Peek.
03:07:45Veiled in shadows, she stalks the night, her identity concealed behind a mask.
03:07:50The Black Shadow, a deadly assassin feared by all who cross her path.
03:07:54With a cold, calculating gaze and a heart hardened by a lifetime of pain and betrayal,
03:08:00she is an enigma, a merciless killer with an untraceable reputation.
03:08:05But when a powerful mafia boss demands a meeting, she finds herself drawn into a
03:08:10dangerous game of cat and mouse. Vito D'Angelo is a man shrouded in mystery, his icy blue eyes
03:08:17and chiseled features promising both exquisite pleasure and untold suffering. As the head of
03:08:22the most ruthless crime syndicate, his very presence commands respect and instills terror.
03:08:28Drawn to each other's darkness, an intense and forbidden attraction ignites.
03:08:33As they engage in a sensual dance of dominance and submission,
03:08:36neither can deny the addictive pull between them. But with deadly rivals and unforgiving enemies at
03:08:42every turn, surrendering to this feeling could prove not only dangerous but fatal.
03:08:48Can the Black Shadow let down her guard long enough to trust the mafia king?
03:08:53I wake up to a splitting headache and run my hands over my face as the night's events come
03:08:58back like a wave. Just how much did I drink? I remember getting angry after finding a mole
03:09:05among my men. I was always so careful when it comes to choosing people to work for me,
03:09:11but I must have missed something. Liz, the blonde I often slept around with,
03:09:15tried to make me release but took too long so I sent her off. She can be a good fuck sometimes,
03:09:21but she's starting to become too clingy and I don't have time to deal with her shit.
03:09:26I quickly shower and put on my signature outfit, a black tailored suit with a white
03:09:31dress shirt underneath. I decided on going with no tie today.
03:09:36Morning Vito, did you sleep well? My mom asks as I walk into the kitchen.
03:09:41She's not my biological mom but she raised me since I was like 2 months,
03:09:46so I would say she's my real mother. My biological mother didn't want me,
03:09:51and apparently I was a product of one of my father's one night stands.
03:09:55And that is why I take extra precaution when having sex.
03:09:59Not so good mama, I tell her and she looks at me understanding what I mean.
03:10:04Shit she probably saw me drunk last night. She doesn't like when I drink too much and I hate
03:10:10to disappointment her. Someone has a hangover, Rose my sister says in a sing-song voice.
03:10:16She can be annoying sometimes but I still care for her.
03:10:20You're gonna be an alcoholic at that rate.
03:10:24Here have this. It's supposed to ease the hangover.
03:10:28It's honey with warm water, my mom says handing me a cup.
03:10:32You really should stop fucking around and settle down Vito.
03:10:36You're a mafia leader with a lot of responsibilities
03:10:39and I believe a wife will help you come to your senses.
03:10:43I suggest you find someone soon, my father says.
03:10:46Luca D'Angelo, the mafia king, the most ruthless and heartless man known to earth,
03:10:51yet so soft when it comes to my mom. No one thought he would fall in love, but here we are now.
03:10:57I took over the mafia when I was 22, and people say I'm even more cruel than my father is.
03:11:04I have no intentions of getting married, papa.
03:11:07I say, sitting at the table while my mom sets my plate down in front of me.
03:11:12She made pancakes, my favorite.
03:11:15You'll have to eventually. If you don't find someone soon,
03:11:19I might have to make you marry that blonde you always sleep with.
03:11:22What's her name, Liz or something?
03:11:25Fuck no. I shout, banging my fists on my table.
03:11:30Enough, both of you! My mom exclaims pointing at the both of us.
03:11:35My dad is smirking. He knows what he did.
03:11:38He always gets on my nerves to get a reaction from me.
03:11:42My sister looks at us and giggles softly.
03:11:45Your dad is right, Vito. You really should get married soon, my mom says looking at me.
03:11:51I sigh, saying, I'm not interested in anyone, mama.
03:11:56You just haven't found the one yet, but you will soon.
03:11:59She says with a small smile.
03:12:01My mom has always wanted me to fall in love someday,
03:12:05but I think I'm incapable of loving anyone apart from my family.
03:12:09The rest of the meal continues in silence until I leave for work.
03:12:14I get in my Audi R8 my baby and drive to our base, which is just a normal building.
03:12:19My men live in the apartments upstairs, and all the work goes on underground.
03:12:24Boss? My men greet me as I walk into the meeting room.
03:12:29Update me. I was never one for small talk and always got straight to the point.
03:12:35The trade went well with the French, but one of our shipments in New York got stolen again.
03:12:40We assume it's the Wolves, says Val, my right-hand man and my best friend.
03:12:44All right, get the plane ready, we leave tonight. Let's end them once and for all.
03:12:50I pretend to sip on my drink and look at the man in the other side of the room,
03:12:54eyeing me like a snack. I walk towards him, making sure he's watching me and sit on his lap.
03:13:01His hands go round my waist, landing on my ass. I hook my hands behind his neck.
03:13:07What's a pretty girl like you doing here?
03:13:10Doing what I do best, I whisper in his ear and discreetly slip out my pocket knife from
03:13:15my sleeve and slitting his throat. I call the number, and I get paid instantly. This is what
03:13:21I do best. I'm known as the Black Shadow because no one knows who I am, and that's exactly my
03:13:27intentions. No one has seen my real face for years. I'm a freelance assassin, and I always
03:13:34use prosthetics to disguise myself. So far I've been able to hide, but I know they're still
03:13:39looking for me and they're getting closer. I'll have to move soon. I actually like this city,
03:13:46but I guess we don't always get what we want. It's my last week here. I might as well spend
03:13:52my remaining nights at The Blaze. The owner, Brian, is the only person I talk to there.
03:13:58Brian doesn't know my story, and he hasn't actually seen my face as I always wear a mask
03:14:04and hoodie when I go there. He only knows that I'm a woman and known as the Black Shadow.
03:14:10Some of my clients go there too. I rush through the busy streets and finally make it to my
03:14:16destination. The Blaze is actually a fighting ring disguised as a club. The music is blaring,
03:14:23and the lights are messing with my eyesight. This is why I don't like clubs. There's no fun at all,
03:14:29just a lot of people grinding on each other. I weave my way between the sweaty bodies and finally
03:14:36make it to the stairs. I could have entered from the back alleyway, but something was telling me
03:14:41not to. Plus, I could use a drink before I fight. I quickly order a drink at the bar and down it all
03:14:48at once. The ring looks normal. Men betting on the fighters as they attack each other in the ring.
03:14:56Brian walks to me as soon as he sees me enter the place. Black. Been a long time. Yeah,
03:15:03been kinda busy. Got anyone for me? Actually, yes, he doesn't usually come here, but he's here
03:15:11today. I nod and get ready to fight. Black wait. I turn to look at him, and he pulls me to a corner.
03:15:20There's someone who wants to meet you. A client. He wants to hire you. Brian, you know I don't meet
03:15:28my clients. You can let him call me. He insists on seeing you. Please Black. He's one of my close
03:15:36acquaintances, and he's big. You'll be making a lot. I groan in annoyance. Fine, but only because
03:15:44you've helped me many times. Thank you. Now go, you're next.
03:16:06you
