“Noel!”

The voice made him pause at the bottom of his building steps. His key had just locked the door behind him when he heard it.

Slowly, he turned.

Vincenzo stood across the pavement, hands in his coat pockets, face taut. Dark circles under his eyes. Hair tousled like he hadn’t slept. There was no security flanking him. Just raw, stripped-down presence.

Noel exhaled.

He didn’t smile. He didn’t move.

Vincenzo took a tentative step closer.

Noel took one back.

“How may I help you, Mr. De Luca?” he asked, cold and formal, eyes pointedly avoiding his.

Vincenzo flinched. “Don’t call me that.”

“I don’t recall calling you anything else.”

“Can we talk?” Vincenzo asked softly.

“I’m running late for work.”

“You… work?” That caught him off guard.

“I wasn’t born with a silver spoon,” Noel replied. “I’m not the favored heir of any empire. So yes, I work, Mr. De Luca.”

“Noel…”

“I don’t have time for this.”

He tried to move past him.

Vincenzo’s hand caught his wrist. Gently, not forcefully.

  • THE MAFIA DON'S PRETTY BOY   Papa's baby

    The garden was a vision of soft pinks and golds, draped in satin ribbons and balloons shaped like animals and hearts. Paper lanterns floated gently overhead, casting dappled shadows over tables covered in frosted cupcakes, candy jars, and an extravagant castle-shaped cake topped with a miniature golden crown.Mei twirled in the center of it all, her ruffled birthday dress sparkling under the sun. Her curls bounced as she ran to each guest, proudly declaring, "I’m five now! Five!" before launching herself into their arms.Lucas was the first to catch her, lifting her into the air and spinning her gently. "Five already? My goodness, you're growing faster than Nico's appetite!""Hey!" Nico exclaimed from his seat, one hand protectively resting over his stomach. "You're lucky I'm pregnant or I'd have tackled you."Everyone laughed, including Mei, who clung to Lucas's neck and whispered, "Uncle Lucas, I want a baby brother. Tell Papa."Lucas raised a brow at Noel across the lawn. "Mei has

    “Are you sure about this?” Vincenzo asked for the fifth time that morning, glancing sideways at Noel as they approached the tall iron gates of Don Ramon’s coastal estate.Noel, belly just barely rounding under a soft-knit sweater, had one hand resting protectively over it, the other on Mei’s tiny shoulder in the back seat. “Yes. I love our daughter. I would kill for our daughter. But I swear to God, if she barges in on me one more time while I’m in the middle of climbing you like a tree, I will explode.”Vincenzo choked on a laugh.“I’m not joking,” Noel added, eyes narrowing as he pointed at Vincenzo’s chest. “You’re the one who got me like this. You don’t get to laugh.”“I didn’t hear any complaints at the time,” Vincenzo said under his breath.“Oh please, I begged for it.”“Exactly.”Mei kicked her legs cheerfully in her booster seat. “Are we going to Grandpa Ramon’s house?”“Yes, principessa,” Vincenzo replied, softening instantly. “You’re spending the whole week with him and Gran

    “I want the mango ones. No—wait. The chili mango. And the salted caramel chips. Do they have that?” Noel asked, barely blinking as he marched down the snack aisle of the luxury department store’s gourmet section.Vincenzo trailed behind him with two shopping bags in one hand, Mei asleep in the stroller with a lollipop still clutched in her tiny fist. His husband was in rare form.Again.Noel turned sharply. “Are you listening to me?”Vincenzo blinked. “Baby, I don’t think salted caramel and chili mango go together.”“They go together in my body, Vincenzo.”He was glowing. Positively radiant. A storm of hormones and sass, with sweatpants low on his hips, one of Vincenzo’s oversized sweaters nearly swallowing his frame, and lip gloss glinting under the store lights like a dare. His bump was showing now..round, obvious, and proudly displayed. He rubbed it constantly like a badge of honor and moaned about it like it was the end of days.And Vincenzo? Absolutely ruined. A man in a full sui

    The lights were dim, the city humming far beyond the bedroom windows.Lucas lay with one arm curled around Nico, their bodies tucked beneath the light cotton sheets of their shared bed. Nico’s cheek was pressed to his chest, and Lucas’s fingers lazily traced idle circles on his back.The air was warm and heavy with sleep. Almost.Nico stirred, shifting slightly.“You awake?” he murmured.Lucas made a soft, sleepy grunt. “Mmhmm.”Nico smirked against his chest. “That wasn’t a real answer.”Lucas tightened his hold a little, not opening his eyes. “I’m too tired to lie. Of course I’m awake.”They laid like that for a moment longer, the kind of silence that only comes from people completely comfortable with each other.“Do you still wanna marry me?” Nico asked quietly.Lucas cracked one eye open. “What kind of question is that?”Nico shrugged against him. “I don’t know. I’ve been a mess lately. Throwing up, panicking, hormonal..”Lucas lifted his head slightly. “You’re growing a human ins

    The room had finally quieted.Everyone had cleared out…Francesca and Lucas with dramatic hugs, Manuel with a nod of respect, and Vincenzo promising he'd be back in a bit with food.Now it was just Aria, Nico, and Noel.Mei was nestled against Noel’s chest, soft breaths rising and falling, her tiny fingers curled around the collar of his robe.Noel sat on the massive couch, humming a lullaby under his breath, eyes gentle as he rocked her slowly.Aria and Nico sat nearby, watching.“I’ve been a terrible best friend,” Nico finally said.Aria groaned. “Same. Trash-tier. Useless.”Noel glanced up with a small smile. “Don’t be dramatic.”“No, really,” Nico said. “You were fighting an empire and we were out here… napping. Getting into fights with hormones.”“I didn’t even come see you when your mom passed,” Noel whispered. “I’m sorry, Nico.”Nico swallowed. “It’s okay. You were saving the world. And being secretly pregnant. What the hell, dude.”“I could say the same about you,” Noel muttere

    "Isadora Saturn, step away from the table. Hands where I can see them."The dining room shattered into silence. Forks froze mid-air. Isadora stood slowly from her chair, eyes narrowing at the agents flooding the estate hall. Her gaze flicked immediately to Noel..standing at the head of the room, expression unreadable, a single black folder clutched in his hand."You called them." Her voice dropped to a hiss. "You called the feds on your own mother."Noel didn’t flinch. "Yes. I did.""You ungrateful..""Don’t. Don’t you dare call me ungrateful. Not today. Not after everything."Isadora’s lips parted in disbelief. "I raised you..""No. You left me. Twice. First as a child when you dumped me in Carlton’s hellhole, and again at sixteen when I begged you to take me with you and you walked away and left me standing in that rain!."Isadora stepped forward. The agents immediately tensed.Noel held up a hand. "Stand down. Let her hear this."Leontis and Alina stood at the back, unmoving. Manue
