Ever since that horrible incident, I've been closed off. Basil doesn't like it hell I don't like it. When I came out the bathroom that night some guy reeking of alcohol came onto me, I tried yelling for Basil but he covered my mouth. I felt his grabby hand try to reach under my dress as I struggled underneath him. As soon as Basil came around the corner and took in what was happening he shot the guy in the knee, he shot him in the other knee too. Now I'm sitting in the bedroom and moping. Basil comes into the room a stern look upon his face.

"Feggari mou, you can't spend the rest of your days in this room." I turn giving him my back.

    One Year LaterLaylaEight months ago me and Basil got remarried in a small ceremony with just family. After, we spent a week in France and enjoyed our honeymoon. He wanted it to be longer but I couldn't stand being away from our babies any longer.Life has been excellent so far, no more tragedies, no more deaths or near deaths. I can almost say it's normal, it's never going to be normal though with Basil as my husband. And I don't mind, I know deep in my gut I was meant to be his wife, to be the mother of his children.When we left for France I didn't know I was already two months pregnant with Eleni our daughter. She's five months old now and she looks just like her father, she has his dark curls, his green eyes and his natural olive tone.We're at the beach enjoying the sun, the breeze and the smell of the ocean."Mamá! Bampás chase me." Atlas giggles showcasing his right dimple, he runs in a circle with Basil chasing him. His red curls bounce with each

The loud music is muffled the door to my office muting it slightly, someone opens it the noise becomes heightened. Apollo, Niko and Andre walk in."What is this evidence you have for me?" I asked."Afentikó I've been following Pontus Argyros for a month now, his behavior is suspicious always disappearing and meeting up with this mercenary, Sergei Orlov.

"I'm a hundred percent positive it's him." He says, I trust Apollo, trust his gut so if he says Pontus has been stealing from me then he has."Niko, I want you to call Pontus and tell him I want to meet him.

Bampás asked, me and Basil stare at each other, we've been waiting for this moment."Atlas and Calliope." As soon as the names come out of my mouth mamá instantly sobs, she puts Atlas back in his crib. "Efcharistó, Layla, efcharistó. You have given this family so much.

    BasilI have plans for Layla's birthday next week. I'll be hosting a small party at our home with only family and I'm also having her parents and her best friend Mackenzie fly over and stay with us for the week. They'll be arriving a day before her birthday, it's going to be her suprise birthday gift. Of course it won't be her only gift, I have a few more presents for her. I got her a platinum pendant necklace made with marquise diamonds, the earrings and the tennis bracelet to match. I had them shipped straight from that jewelry place all women go crazy over. I think it starts with a T, the name doesn't cross my mind. Altogether the cost was over thirty grand but I didn't bat an eye. Nothing is too expensive for my wife, my love, I got her a laptop too. The other day she was talking to me about starting classes online after the babies were born and I fully support her decision, with the laptop she can use it to do her schoolwork or anything she wants.Deciding to spend my day at home

After giving birth I'm going to put my back under commission because this shit hurts.Basil's at his club right now handling business or whatever mobsters do while I stay home and laze around. Talk about boring, I'm going to see if I could apply for online classes after the twins are born.All of a sudden a smell from the kitchen makes my stomach clench in hunger, Mariah must be cooking.Waddling to the kitchen I see Mariah pull out some type of dish from the oven, smells like a roast of some kind."Mariah, Ti mageirévete?" (What are you cooking?) I know I butchered the pronunciation but she just smiles kindly. I've learned a little Greek the last couple weeks. Basil's a good teacher he's been teaching me the basics, enough to get me by."Ftiáchno kléftiko." (I'm making kleftiko.)"Ohhh, myrízei oraía." (Smells good.) It smells heavenly, it looks like some type of meat cooked with potatoes and vegetables in parchment pap

    BasilI'm at club Sweet Ecstasy taking care of business before I head back home. The door to my office swings open revealing a frantic Andre."Afentikó, one of our warehouses has been hit." He's out of breath like he ran."Skatá!, did they take anything?" Fuck, it's the second time this month one of our warehouses containing drugs, guns and counterfeit goods have been hit. The first time they took all our guns."They took all the drugs." I pound my fist on the table, seething with fury. Selling our goods to other mafia's is our biggest moneymaker, having these legitimate businesses on the side like my nightclubs help everything look good on paper. So that the government wouldn't get suspicious of where all this money is coming from.The nightclubs still make a pretty penny but not as much as the illegal stuff."Any of our men dead?" His deep sigh is an answer."Pablo and Ferdinand." Good men lost and from what. Whoever is doing this is attacking us when no one is watching. By the time
