Mia's POV I am back in New York, and feel free. I am not moving into the house my parents and siblings are staying in. I have two reasons for that. I hate that house as I only have bad memories of that house, and two is Riccardo, and his men will look for me there. I have enough money to buy an apartment, but I have decided to rent one first. I ensure the condo I rent has nothing to do with the Mafia. I rent the apartment in the name of one of the girls working with me. I do not want Riccardo and his men to find me. My team runs the family business, and I do not need to go to those offices. I will avoid them whenever I can. Besides, Lucia, the servant I met on the first day I was at Riccardo's house, tells me everything he and his men does. Aria, Sienna, and I keep in contact as I have become friends with them. They are angry at Riccardo because he is involved with Bria again. Aria and Sienna have moved to New York, but I did not tell them I am also here. Sienna does not want to st

Riccardo's POVI have not seen Mia in almost eight years. It was long years without her. I know I love her, but I am not sure she feels the same about me. I had been looking for her, but it was as if she had disappeared off the face of the earth. I did not know where Mia was or what she was doing. I did keep an eye on the Costa family, though. Not only the Mafia part of the family but also the father, mother, and siblings. I can not help but not like her parents and siblings. In the last seven years, they did not ask about Mia or even look for her. Bria stayed by my side even though I did not touch her since Mia left. She still hopes I will ask her to marry me, but I will not. I think I kept his on the line for long enough and will set her free. She has offered up enough of her youth chasing after me. I do not know why she is still trying, as I do not even give her hope that I will ask her to marry me. I did not have sex since Mia. I sound like a bloody monk, but I do not care. All I

Riccardo's POVI am pissed off. I walk with my twins to the car. How can Mia and my family keep this secret from me? I have missed out on years with my children. I will not miss one more year without them. Mia is a good mother, as I can see how the children protect her. What if something happened to them? What if my enemies found out about my children and kidnapped them or, even worst, killed them to get to me? Being the Godfather is a dangerous job. I load the children into my car and wait for Mia to arrive. My children are seven, and I have not even spent one day with them! How did she hide them for so long? Oh, Mia, you can be glad I love you so much, or I would have killed you for doing this to the children and me. It is also unfair for the children not to know their father and be held hostage in a house for so long. "Daddy, are you angry?" Olivia asks where we sit in the back of the car. Mia gets in, and I glare at her. "Not at you, princess," I say. Mia can not look at me and

Third Person's POVMia knows that she and Riccardo need to get to know each other. If they are going to live in one house, they need to get along, and they can not fight in front of the children. She is planning a lovely night for them after dinner with the children. She asks the cooks to make some snacks for them, and she has red wine they will drink tonight. Mia knows she needs to give Riccardo a fair chance. As she is planning everything, the doorbell rings. Mia is close to the door, and she opens the door. Bria walks in as soon as the door opens. She does not even look at the person that opened the door. It took Bria a few days to figure out where Riccardo was staying, but with the help of her friend Amara Costa, they found out where he was staying. Leonardo Costa still has some friends in the Mafia, but Bria and her father think he is still running the Costa family. Leonardo never corrected them. They think Leonardo is the one that turned the Corsta family around and made it so p

Third Person's POV Mia looks at the shocked faces of her family. Amara looks at Mia with hate in her eyes. She knows her Hollywood career is finished and that she only got parts because she was seeing a director that was helping her to get roles in movies. She knows no one sees her as an A-list actress. Lorenzo got in so much trouble in the last couple of years and is known as a troublemaker in Hollywood. No one wants to give him any more roles. He was involved in a lot of scandals and abused drugs and alcohol. He trashed hotel rooms, and his girlfriends accused him of being aggressive when drunk or high. Besides, her mother and father could never work with money, and making them their agents was not the best idea. She, her brother, and her parents are bankrupt, and now Mia is kicking them out of their house. "You can not kick us out of our house! Who do you think you are?" Arriana, Mia's mother, shouts at her. "The house was bought with the Casta family money, and you signed ever
