Roman

I’m in my father’s office, sitting at his oak desk, and Salvador is briefing me on my new responsibilities and what is expected of me. There are several files in front of us. Mostly boring paperwork.

“Yes,” I manage to say. “You were saying that I signed the agreement to hand over the heroin field to D’Angelo.”

He nods, bending down to pick up a piece of paper. He places it in front of me.

“The contract was sent this morning. I looked it over, and it’s pretty good. But did you agree to support their candidate for the next congressman?”

“We needed their help.”

“But Coleman should have…”

I cut him off.

“Salvador, I appreciate all the help. But don’t undermine me. I made a deal. It’s done.”

He grins.

“You just sounded like your father. Okay, Roman, I'll back off. I'm sure we'll find another use for Coleman. Now, on to our next episode. We need to officially announce that you've taken over your father's job.”

“No.”

He frowns.

“Roman...”

“We are not making any official announcements.

    “You held her all night.”“Because I’m her uncle,” he says.“Well, I’m her godmother,” Kiara counters.I sigh softly. Roman’s arm wraps around my waist as we watch them argue. We finished dinner an hour ago, and since then Maria and my father have retreated to the living room to talk. Michael has disappeared, and like us, Rosa is watching the scene unfold before us with pleasure.“If you want a baby, Ki, just get pregnant. It’s literally not that hard,” Tony says dryly.Kiara’s hand twitches as if she wants to hit him. I understand the feeling completely. Just as I'm about to break off the argument, Roman's hand squeezes my thigh."No, we're avoiding that," he mutters. He literally leads me away, up the stairs to the balcony overlooking the clear night sky. I breathe in and out quietly.“Soothing, huh?” Roman says, throwing his jacket over my shoulders and standing behind me.“Yes, that’s it.”We stand there for a few minutes, letting the cool air wash over us.

  • Secret Child For Ruthless Don   We Are Safe, Now

    I practically rip my daughter out of his arms, clutching her to my chest. My gaze slides over her face, and I breathe a sigh of relief when her blue eyes look at me. She’s okay. She’s okay. I repeat the words over and over in my head.Thank God.Tony and Michael close in on me, their guns still pointed at Enzo Mathew Russo.He lets out a soft whistle.“Call them off, Roman.”My head snaps up as I look at Enzo Russo.“Why the hell would I do that?”“Because I want us to be friends,” he says, his bored tone at odds with what he’s saying.“You kidnapped my daughter.”He lets out another long-suffering sigh.“How many times do I have to tell you this? My uncle kidnapped your daughter. I saved her. She’s literally safe in your arms right now. I mean, you’re in no harm’s way.”I look at him, assessing him.“Who the hell are you?”When he smiles, it’s a little unsettling.“You’ll find out soon enough. I wasn’t kidding about the partnership. I’ll come find you. And when I do, we can discuss t

    Roman“Who killed him?”“The same man who has your daughter,” he tells me. “He stole the van. Killed all the men and took her.”My heart races in my chest.“Enough of the vague details,” I growl, leaning forward and grabbing his chest. “Who has my daughter?”“Matthew,” he breathes. “Mathew has it.”I’m about to ask him who the hell Mathew is when the phone starts ringing. Tony hands it to me. I glance at the restricted ID number flashing on the screen.One quick glance at Michael, and he’s pulled out his laptop. He sits down, and I’m sure he’s getting ready to trace the number as I answer.“Hello?”“Roman De Luca,” a strange voice says. “This is Mathew Russo.”Two minutes earlier, I’d never heard that name in my life. Now, the mere mention of it makes me furious.“I don’t know who the hell you are, but if there’s not a single strand of hair on my daughter’s head, I’ll…”“Enough with the threats,” he interrupts, sounding bored.My hand tightens around the phone.“I’m not going to hurt

    Don Searching For His DaughterRomanThere are tears in her green eyes. She closes them briefly and looks at me with a soft, slightly heartbroken expression.“Give her back to me, Rom.”I pull her closer, resting my head against her forehead.“I will, I promise.”I turn away and face Salvador.“Please take her home,” I tell him. “My mother needs you, too.”His jaw tenses, and he nods understandingly. As he leads his daughter out, I send two security guards after them to make sure they get home safely. As they leave, I turn to Michael.“What the hell is taking so long to find them?”He clenches his jaw. “I’m doing the best I can.”I run a hand through my hair, nervously. My phone rings, and I pull it out, ready to throw it against the wall until I see who’s calling.“This is a really bad time, Christian,” I say through clenched teeth.“I know. Your daughter has been kidnapped.”“How the hell do you know?”“It doesn’t matter. But I also know who took her.”My pulse quickens, hope flares

    Elena“I know, honey,” he tells me, breathing heavily.I glance behind me to make sure Tony is nowhere in sight before turning back to him.“Have you ever tried to find her?” I know I shouldn’t, but right now I wonder where she is. If she’s even alive.My father is grief personified. He seems to choose his words before he says, “The last time I heard from your mother was five years ago. When she was getting on a plane to Germany.”My breath catches.“Oh. I think she really wanted to run away from us, huh?”Concern was etched across every inch of my father’s face.“It’s okay,” I quickly reassure him, managing to force a smile. “We have you. And you’re more than enough. And like I said, you’ll always have us.”There will always be a part of me that cares about my mother. But I’m not the same person I was before. I’ve grown up, matured.
