5 Mafia Brothers Abused Princess
I look at Alex , my husband, my home, my safe place, the man who stood by me no matter what and I feel it settle deep in my bones.
Full.
Whole.
Loved beyond reason or repair.
I rise on my toes and kiss him slow and soft, tasting sunlight and forever.
When we pull apart, Alessia is running toward us, barefoot and filthy and perfect, arms outstretched.
“Mama! Papa! Let's go to my castle!! It's empty without family.. "
Alex scoops her up with one arm, pulls me in with the other, and the three of us stand there ,a little family inside a bigger one, surrounded by laughter and love loud enough to drown out every ghost I ever had.
