“Anyone who knew Giovanni Lombardi would know he was not a simple man, he was not a man satisfied by mediocrity- he never accepted having or being anything less than the best.” Enzo cracked a small smile as if he were recalling a private memory before looking up at the people gathered before him, “When I sat down to write this speech last night I tried to think of words to describe my father in a way everyone can relate to, but it occurred to me that he was not just one person. To each one of us he represented something different and I think that’s what will make him most unforgettable.” Enzo’s eyes lowered to the casket hovering above the ground, “Dad, today we bid farewell, but with us we hold your lessons of yesterday close to our hearts as we walk the path of life tomorrow. The time we thought we had, the words left unspoken, the forgiveness we never got or offered will serve as our last lesson. Thank you for everything, Father. You will be missed.” Stepping away from the podium

Alonso’s palm closed over the man’s mouth while his other arm closed around his arms, restraining him as he dragged him off the street and into the charcoal grey Jeep parked a few yards away. Shoving him into the vehicle, he shut the door, preventing the man’s exit. “Stop struggling, it will only make this worse.” Xander announced, alerting the man to his presence after a good minute of screaming and banging. “Who are you?” The man’s voice shook, and he shrunk against the door. “Does it matter? Answer my questions and this will all be over very soon.” Xander eyed the man’s silhouette in the low light, the darkness did nothing to hide his fear permeating the air. “Wha- what do you want from me?” He swallowed loudly. “Who paid you to tamper with the shipment?” Xander’s voice was hard and forceful, leaving no room for argument. “I don’t know. A man approached me one night and gave me an envelope filled with money and a device to stick on the container. That’s all I know, I swear!”

Xander stood staring out the window of his office with a hard look on his face, behind him, Joseph Genino shifted uncomfortably on the visitor’s chair. The brooding silence that emitted from Xander was enough to make any man uneasy. “Would you consider me a fair man?” Xander asked suddenly. “I- um-” Joesph sat straighter and cleared his throat, “Without a doubt, Don Moretti.” Xander turned suddenly and looked at him with impassive eyes, “Did you consider it fair when I stepped aside- upon your request, to handle your brother’s punishment the last time he crossed me?” “Y-yes, Don.” Joseph swallowed thickly. Xander nodded slowly, “And is it correct that you agreed to take responsibility for him in the future?” Joseph Genino’s eyes widened at the implication of Xander’s words, beads of sweat gathered on his forehead and his skin took a pinkish hue as he nodded. “Words, Genino!” Xander snapped, baring his teeth at the older man. “Yes, Don!” Joseph hurried out, practically jumping i

“Shall we?” Caterina motioned for them to follow her to the dining room.“Oh wow, Caterina, this looks delicious.” Rosa complimented seeing the large spread in the centre of the table.“You really went out of your way, Caterina, thank you.” Xander smiled gratefully at her, which earned him a blush in response.“Before we start, I’d like to say something.” Caterina cleared her throat in an attempt to get rid of the ball of emotions that seemed to have lodged itself in her throat, “These last few weeks-” She sucked in a deep breath.Dropping her napkin on the table, Serenity moved to her mother’s side where she wrapped a comforting arm around her, “You’ve got this.” She whispered softly in Caterina’s ear.“These last few weeks have been incredibly taxing on all of us for different reasons, but standing here today I am sure we would not have been able to do it without all of your support.” She looked around the table with teary eyes, “So, thank you.” Caterina sobbed a little at the end.

The door to Serenity’s room was pushed open, in the reflection of the floor length mirror she saw her family walk through the door one by one.  “Mia Figlia, you look so beautiful.” Caterina brought a hand over her mouth to cover the gasp when she laid eyes on her only daughter in a wedding gown. “Hey guys.” Serenity spun on her heels and looked at them with a nervy smile.  “You’re gorgeous, Sis.” Darrio looked at his baby sister in awe, she made a radiant bride.  “Aww, you guys are gonna make me cry.” Serenity’s fists balled at her sides to avoid rubbing at her eyes where tears were already pooling.
