*10 YEARS LATER*

Miriam’s POV

The kids had just come back from training and they asked me the question. The same one they had been asking me for days now.

“Mom?” Amelia called.

“Yeah?” I mumbled as I kept a laser focus on the pot of soup I was preparing.

“You didn’t answer our question.”

“That’s because I am so busy with the food I’m preparing. Go set the table, would you?”

Amelia opened her mouth like she wanted to argue but she closed it back. I had taught my kids never to argue with me. They

The party planner had sent out the invites and started decorating our backyard in preparation for the party tomorrow.The twins had been informed of the new development and they squealed in excitement. I told them to write a wishlist of whatever they wanted for their birthday.“Anything?” They asked simultaneously with huge smiles on their faces.“Yes, anything for the both of you!”“Oh my God! Thank you mummy.” Amelia hugged me and I tried to pick her up but she was just too heavy.“You babies are getting too big for me to carry.”“Aww. Mom! Please don’t call us babies anymore. Our friends are going to be here tomorrow. If you call us babies, they won’t stop teasing us about it.”“You guys are my babies,” I said with emphasis on the word ‘are’. “But since you guys insist, I won’t say anything like that in front of your friends.”“Thank you, Mom.”“Now, go ahead and write your lists before I change my mind,” I teased them and they scampered

  • Exclusively Mine: The Mafia’s Bride   EPILOGUE PART 6: NEW PLAN

    Miriam’s POVI told them everything that happened. About how I got a call from Anita, explaining what was going on to me.“I don’t understand. How did Anita know that you were the one calling?” Serena asked“Apparently, she saw that my number kept calling him over and over so she decided to steal the phone and check who was calling.”“So your number wasn’t saved on his phone?”“No it was but with an alias. It’s something he did to protect his friends and loved ones. Anyway, she checked the number on her phone and found out it was mine. That was when she decided to call me.”“I don’t get it… she decided to just casually check? Is this how close she is to the syndicate?” Sara looked confused.“I don’t totally get it either but it seems so.”I was feeling less sad and more energized now that I had rested and also gotten a new lead on the situation at hand.“You’ve relayed everything to Rosodov right?”“Yes, but he couldn’t talk much.”“It’s been like that these days,” Sara said before si

    Lazar’s POVI was a new man here. Nobody knew who I was or what I came to do. The plan was simple. Go to Australia for a month, get my new shipment and return home just in time to celebrate my children’s birthday.Halfway through the mission, I encountered an unforeseen problem. Someone else had eyes on my package.“Why don’t you just have a word with them?” Rosodov suggested when I told him about the new development on the phone.“Who? You mean The Changers?” I asked him with a scoff.“Yes.”“They are not the type of people you reason with, Rosodov. I have been avoiding doing business with them for a while now for a reason.”“So, what’s the plan? Ignore them? This isn’t your territory. You need to be careful.”“I know I do but I need this shipment. There’s no two ways about it.”“Just be careful.”That was the last time we spoke. That was also the last time I had my phone with me. Somehow, I lost it on the beach. It was so unlike me to do something like that.It didn’t matter, though

    Miriam’s POV“Look at this.” I showed the phone to Serena with shaking hands.I watched as her eyes tried to make sense of the three words in the text.“Is this a threat or a warning?” “I don’t know. I have no clue what was going on.” My heart rate increased when I realized that I hadn’t felt this way in a very long time.Of course, there had been a lot of issues over the years but nothing remotely close to this. Lazar always found a way to communicate with us, no matter what.“I’ll send this to Rosodov. Perhaps, he can decode the message.”I was no longer focusing on what was being said. I was numb and I didn’t realize when I sank to the chair slowly.“Miriam? Miriam, can you hear us?” Someone was tapping my shoulder. “Please, don’t panic. We’re going to get to the bottom of this.”“Mom? Are you alright?” “Your Mom is fine. She’s just feeling a bit under the weather.”“Well, does that mean we aren’t going anywhere today?”“Does she need to go see a doctor?”“She’s fine, okay? Just

    Miriam’s POVI sat the kids down and told them exactly what Serena had advised me to do. They listened and gradually, I brought up the sleepover. Just like we planned, I gave them all of the things I wouldn’t normally give it to them.“Mom, are you doing this because you’re trying to distract us?” Aiden perked up and I almost choked on my drink.“Of course not, silly. Your 10th birthday is next week. Of course I’m going to spoil you until then. Have you forgotten about our birth week tradition?”“No but we haven’t done that in a while. We thought we were too old for that.”“Nope. You’re not too old at all. In fact, this is an official reinstatement of the birth week tradition in the Sokolov household. How does that sound?” I asked and their faces broke out in wide grins.“It sounds amazing!” They said simultaneously and they shuddered.They were doing that thing again where they talked at the same time. Even after all this time, I still wasn’t used to it.“So, what do you say? Should
