EROSIt was so easy to fool Raimondo with words. All I had to do was mention my father to him and pretend to be a dutiful son that cares for his deceased father to make him regret his words.I couldn’t hide the smile on my face as I stared at his furrowed eyebrows and the far gaze he has in his eyes. Judging by his expression, I knew I already won him with my words.Italians are known for being family centered people. There’s nothing that Italians valued so much as families. We are familial people and for a man like Raimondo who have a dead wife and two daughters, I know there’s nothing else he treasures so well except for his two daughters whom he love with all his heart.There’s nothing he understands well but the love that a father has for his children and the love that children has for their father. Raimondo looked up at me when he felt my long stare. He was taken aback to see me watching him that he felt conscious of himself. He straightened himself and his warm expression turne

LUCREZIAI had already lost hope that Letizia’s advice would really have its effect on Pietro. She said that by leaving Pietro all by himself, he would feel very bothered because of my absence. She said that by ignoring him for two days, it would drive him crazy to come visit us instead. So far, I couldn’t see her words working. For two days, Pietro never came and I never received a single message or call from him. I don’t think that her promises were really working. As the third day nears by, I could tell that she’s growing anxious every hour as she starts to doubt her own words too. Letizia is like an open book, all I had to do is look at her face to know what she was thinking. She couldn’t even held back her surprise when Pietro appeared right in front of her.She looked like she saw a celebrity when Pietro entered our doors. Even Pietro felt uncomfortable by her stare that I had to step in and call her attention elsewhere before she makes a complete fool of herself.She wasn’t

LUCREZIAThe wait didn’t last long, thankfully my father had arrived before Letizia could do anything irrevocable and humiliate me in front of Pietro.I’m glad that my father was on the same page as me. Instead of making our guests wait or telling them to go back home and come back later, my father placed them on top of his priority list instead and abandoned all his schedule as soon as Letizia called him and told him about the guests. Now that we are all complete and the food is finally cooked, we all sat around the dining table with a large feast at the center of the table. Our cooks, cooked us a great meal with different dishes to choose from. As usual, everything is Italian, made by real Italians with real Italian recipe. Although we live in America and there are a lot of other cuisines available here, nothing hits like Italian. Italian foods just hit us in our hometown. I actually missed these foods we eat at hoe because in Britain, although there were It

PIETROThis is bad news. A very bad news. One of the Dons are hiding something, and I don’t know which of them was. Aside from that, I don’t even know how their organization works or how big it is. How am I going to face something that I know little about, much more go against them?Since they even have connections with random civilians and could order them to kill anyone they want, I could only assume that this is a big organization and that I couldn’t underestimate its power. This makes it more bad than it was as it puts all my plans at risk and with the wedding coming near, I don’t have the time to hold back my plans and wait for another year.It took me everything to get here and now another threat comes to crush all my plans at this most crucial time? I can’t let that happen.I can’t let these powerful enemy defeat me and I can’t also move or change my plans all the same.Right now, everything seems hopeless once again. My mission to eradicate all the crime families, to erase

LUCREZIA The day ended in a bliss. Before I knew it, I was married.Since both me and Pietro came from a luxurious family, our wedding wasn’t short of anything. The whole ceremony was grand and prominent guests that were invited came bearing gifts. Businessmen, politicians and other people came to witness the wedding, including our family’s friends that were part of our family business. With so many guests that came to bless us and celebrate the wedding, Pietro and I weren’t able to cross our paths often. The groom is busy catering to other guests and I was busy catering the others too. The only time that Pietro and I were able to face and talk again was when we had our dance together as husband and wife. I’m glad that my sister, Concetta and Agrippa were here to accompany me for the rest of the day. The three helped me lift my mind off my problems with their crazy stories about their lives as a wife.Agrippa and Concetta were the most happy to see me get married like them.Even
