Christan's POVI can not let Aria and her mother be in danger! My men and I rush to the address Riccardo gave us. I hope I am on time. If something should happen to her, I will never forgive myself. There was a big misunderstanding between Aria and me when we were younger and engaged. I loved her with all my heart, but she caught me in the arms of another woman. I know it doesn't sound good, but I was innocent. I think back to the day it happened. I was in my office minding my own business. I was waiting for Aria to arrive so we could go out to dinner. Aria had finished her studies and was working in Rome at the time. We met in Paris while she was still studying, and I waited for her to move to Rome, where I am staying. She was with me, and we had a great relationship. Guilia Esposito was Aria's friend. She always hit on me, but I ignored it as she was not my type. Guilia is a model, and she worked with Aria, who is a fashion designer. Aria must have told Guila that she would see me
Riccardo's POV I can see that Christan is angry and can not blame him. Aria was rude to Christan, although he rushed her to save her ass. I look at my sister, who is sitting on the sofa. I shake my head as she glares at me. I do not want her to fight with me while the children are around. I do not want her to fight before the children and let them see it. I do not want them to think it is okay for a brother and sister to fight. Aria knows when not to push her luck with me, unlike the beautiful Mia, who can make me angry sometimes and does not know when to stop. I can not stay mad at her, and she knows it. I think she is taking advantage of my weakness for her. A petite little woman is ruling the big bad Godfather of the Mafia. If my friends know this, they will never stop teasing me. I love Mia and the twins and am busy turning into a softy, but do I care? No! I do not care what anyone says. I am in love with Mia. She is the only one I want. I was so against love, but today I am in lo
Mia's POVI know what is coming as Don Parisi and my father is not showing any respect. I do not want them in my life anymore, nor do I want them near my children. I want them to die tonight, but do I want my children to see them die? There is nothing I can do about it. I am still a little mad a Riccardo for talking about it first and allowing them to think it is okay that they can see it, but on the other hand, they must learn that family is important in this business. I feel they are still too young to deal with death, but we live in a brutal world, and this is the Italian Mafia. "Well, it is time. We can not postpone it any longer," I say. I want to get this over with. We break free from our little family hug. Riccardo walks to where the two older men are standing. He pulls out his gun, and my father starts crying. I can not feel anything for the older man as I was never close to him. I see Oliver and Olivia looking at him as he cries, and I know he must feel scared. I can only im
Third Person's POVWhile Riccardo and Mia are angry at each other and on their way home, Aria is fuming in her room. How dare Riccardo send that asshole to her house to save her? She can not wait to get a hold of her brother! How dare he! Christan Bianco cheated on her, and she will never forgive him for breaking her heart. He did it with her so-called best friend. She remembers the day she went to his office and caught Guilia in his arms. It broke Aria's heart. She will never trust a man again.Aria has no contact with Guilia anymore, but she is still on Aria's social media, and she keeps posting photos of her and Christan and tagging Aria. Aria should delete her from her social media accounts, but Aria pretends not to care and post pictures of herself going out occasionally. Guillia tried to contact Aria for work as she is a famous designer and owns a beauty shop and boutique. Aria never answered her because she thought Guilia was making fun of her. She is booming, and she made it o
Third Person's POV"I am telling you, Mom and Dad are angry with each other. Dad stormed to his room, and Mom slammed her door when she walked in. I do not think Mom is very happy about what we did," Oliver says to Olivia, where they are sitting in Olivia's room. "Do you think Mommy will kick Daddy out of the house?" Olivia asks Oliver. "I do not know, but we have to make a plan to keep them together," Oliver says. He is trying to think of a plan to get them together again. He does not want his Daddy to leave again. "Maybe I should talk to Mommy. Maybe she will listen to me," Olivia says. "You know Mommy thinks we are children and will tell you not to talk about grown-up business," Oliver says. "Then what are we going to do?" Olivia asks. "We have to trick them into making peace. I am trying to find a way to get them alone," Oliver says. "Do you remember when you were sick, Mommy gave you pills that made you sleep? Maybe we can give them some of those pills to make them sleep a
, OliverMia's POVI wake up with a headache. What the hell happened last night? I know I had too much wine, and I look at the man lying beside me in the bed. I know he will not feel any better than I do today. Oops, we did it again! We got drunk and ended up in bed, and if history repeats itself, I will get pregnant again. I try to sit, but Riccardo pulls me back into his arms. "Good morning, gorgeous. Where do you think you are going?" Riccardo asks. "I think I better send someone to go and get me the morning-after pill. I may get pregnant again," I say. "Do you care? Don't you think we should give the twins a sibling or two?" Riccardo says. "I am not having any more children before I am married. Forget it, Riccardo!" I shout. I grab my aching head and moan. "Who said we will not be married soon? I will ask you to become my wife, but I want to do it romantically and keep it as a surprise. Thank you for dinner last night. I enjoyed it. When did you plan it all?" Riccardo asks. "
Third person's POVAmara walks up and down. She, her brother, and her mother are in Cedar Falls. They have not heard from her father in the last few days. She knew this would not end well for her father and Don Parisi. She wished they would have listened to her, Bria, and her brother. She knows her father and Don Parisi are dead and should not have messed with Riccardo and Mia. Amara knows her father, and Don Parisi planned to go after the twins. Even in the Mafia, going after a Don's children is unacceptable. But the two stupid older men went after the Godfather's children. She is sure that her father and Don Parisi are not alive anymore to tell their story. "I am sure your father is still alive, and I cannot live without him. How will we survive? None of us have any money, and I am sure Don Parisi will ensure they do not get caught. Maybe they cannot contact us because they have the children and are afraid that Riccardo will trace their calls," Arriana says. " My husband is not th

The house is on the beach, and Riccardo plans to ask Mia to marry him there. That is as far as he came. He cannot think of and plan to ask her to marry him. He does not want it to be just any proposal. He wants the children also to be part of it. He will ask his mother and Aria to help him think of a plan to ask Mia to marry him. He wanted to be very special, something she would remember for the rest of her life. Riccardo decides to go to his sister's house and ask Aria and his mother to help him with a good idea for the proposal. He must slip away so Mia and the children don't know where he is going.
