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
Mia's POVI am spending the night at home with my children. We will watch the Lion King for the hundredth time, but I look at Oliver and Olivia, looking distracted. Aria was here earlier, and we were talking in my office, and the twins were busy somewhere else in the house. I think about what she said to me. "So my mother and I went to see Ricci. He says he loves you and will make you his wife. He does not know about the twins, but I am afraid he will be pissed off at all of us if he finds out. Bria ran out of his apartment earlier, and Mario told me Ricci told her to piss off and get the fuck out of his room," Aria said. "Well, we can not let him find out about the twins, and he will kill us. You know how Riccardo is, and Riccardo Marino does not take prisoners. He asked me on a date, and I had to say yes. I do not want him to come to my house and see the twins," I said. I looked at the door and could swear I saw a little face peeking at us, but when I walked to the door and looked
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
Mia's POVIt is a hectic week. The twins and I are moving into Riccardo's house in New York. I did not know he had a house here. I am still angry that Oliver got away and that Riccardo found out about them. I can not blame anyone for that as I know my twins, and I know they worked together to fool Lorena so that Oliver could get away to threaten his father. In a way, I am also relieved that Riccardo knows about them now. I have brought along all the videos I made over the years about the twins. I knew someday Riccardo would learn about them, but I was planning it to be when they were all grown up. So I made videos of every milestone in their young life to show Riccardo one day when he gets to know them. I was not planning on it so soon, but I will show him the videos I made, so he can keep the copies I made for him. I know he is still pissed off at me, but I am glad he is not so mad that he wants to kill me. I have heard about his ruthless behavior and that he does not take prisoners
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
Mia's POVI am glad Riccardo and I spent last night together. We had fun and discussed many of our problems, but the twins needed to know that what they did was wrong. I need to teach them that they can not interfere in other people's lives and get away with it. They had no right to lock us up in the room! I am tired as Riccardo, and I did not sleep. Luckily, we do not have to work today. I walk to where Oliver and Olivia sit in the dining room, chatting with their father. Oliver and Olivia know me by now and know I am angry with them. I turn to my men, who are standing beside me. "Take all their electronics for a week! Oliver and Olivia will not need their computer to do homework since they will go to school," I order my men. Oliver does not even fight me because he knows he did wrong, but Olivia takes a chance and starts crying."Are you done crying, young lady? You know your tears do not impress me. You were naughty last night, so no games or computers for a week," I say. Olivia t
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
Mia's POVI can not believe my family came here and thought they could take over the business I have worked so hard for. Who does my father think he is? He never made a success of anything. I am worried they will find out about Oliver and Olivia, try to kidnap them and use them against me to get the family business back. I also do not like Don Parisi and his family. I know the old Don is greedy, and he wants the godfather position that Riccardo is holding. He must also be furious that Riccardo kicked out his daughter after eight years of keeping her on the line. I am expecting Don Parisi to call a meeting of the Dons to try and overthrow Riccardo as the Godfather. Riccardo comes walking into my office. I can see he is still upset with my family. I know he wants me to kill them, but I do not want to until I have a real reason to kill them. Besides, I want them to suffer like I had to. They have not done an honest day's work in their lives. It is time they start learning to work and se
