Danielle's POV:
Stefano's birthday is in three days and the house is going crazy. Mrs. Rosi is running around the house ordering everyone she sees to do something. Aurora is telling everyone to get their outfits as soon as possible because we won't have time to get them the day before. Stefano and Mr. Rosi have practically been in hiding the pass few days. All I know is that Mr. Rosi keeps saying that Stefano is training in the computer room. Then you have Nicola who has purposefully been avoiding me, it's quite obvious that he is doing it. For instance I entered the living room yesterday and he was talking with one of his men but as soon as he saw me he got right u

Lets just say I've never seen so many people running around a house at once. The time has finally come, by that I mean Stefano's birthday. This morning we had his favorite meal for breakfast, and then he left with Nicola right after. Mr. and Mrs. Rosi left early this morning, right before breakfast began so they could get the last few things for the party. So now we have Aurora bossing everyone around, which is really testing her temperament. Antonio is following her around and massaging her back as he does so, so she'll stay calm and not blow up. She is very violent right now, it makes me hope that she isn't like this when she isn't pregnant.I'm in the kitchen the whole day preparing all the food and drinks for tonight. Rose went to the nanny this morning but Luca said that he'd pick her up at some point to take her out. He wants to take her to get ready for the ball because, I quote, 'She's a principessa, so she needs to be pampered like one.' I found out that tha

-->PartyMrs. Rosi said that they hired different workers to work the party tonight so all of their employees at the house can attend the party too. So I have just finished getting ready and I'm about to meet Luca and Rose downstairs. Luca had gotten back with Rose not too long ago after getting her hair done. I can't wait to see how cute she is.Since I haven't had the time to go out and shop Aurora lent me one of her dresses. I didn't choose it, Aurora laid it on my bed earlier today so I would have it to change into. It's a light blue gown that is a deep v-neck. It ends at my stomach and shows off cleavage, and the skirt is slightly poofy. It's a beautiful dress, it almost reminds me of a Cinderella dress, just more revealing. I stare at my curly hair that wouldn't let me do anything with it so I left it as it usually is. My makeup is just blush, mascara and a light pink lipstick. I didn't want to over do it so I kept it as simple as possib

Nicola's POV:I'm sitting at the head table, dad is still up here with me, watching the party go on. Aurora and Antonio are dancing together, which is proving difficult for Aurora in her heals. Luca and Kiyara are dancing away, laughing at what each other is saying. That's when my attention goes back to a certain table once more. Danielle is sitting with Rose by themselves at the table. Rose is playing with a doll that she must've brought with her and Elle was smiling at her daughter."Go get her son," dad say as he nudges my shoulder. "You don't meet a girl like her every day. Go ask to dance.""Papà," I sigh and he gives me a stern look."Whatever worries you have, get rid of them," Dad states and I glance down at my hands. "If you are worried because she works in the house, forget it. So what she works around the house, we all do. If you are worried she'll say no, stop. We both know you are a ladies man son, you always

Danielle's POV:The party go over rather fast after dessert. I guess the time just went by fast because I was talking with Nicola. Rose put down her doll at one point in the night and went to dance with Luca, she told us is was mandatory. Luca was happy to dance the rest of the night away with his daughter. Nicola has been happy since we danced too, he hasn't stopped grinning and it is kind of scaring me. I mean this is the man that is in charge of the Italian mafia, plus he hardly grins. I've noticed that him being happy has made him look younger. When he has on his stern look he looks like he could be in his thirties, but when he is happy he looks like he is twenty-six. Which makes me feel good because I can't help but think I'm a little part of why he is happy."Are the parents already leaving?" I ask Nicola who has a sleeping Rose on his lap. Her head is resting on his shoulder with her mouth wide open. "I'm sorry if she drooled on your suit."

Nicola's POV:"Come in," I say loudly as I go though the many papers on my desk."You're up early," my dad says as he enters my room."There's work that needs to be done papà," I say as I separate the files. "Have you heard from Colton?""The French are coming towards us," dad says. "He reported last night after I left the party. Mario started making preparations early this morning.""I thought the French were going north," I say and look up from my papers. "Colton just sent that message a week ago.""They went to get supplies from England," dad tells me. "We need to start moving the workers to the safe houses. They will be going to Terni. We'll have many guards there as well.""When are we leaving?" I ask him, going back to my papers."No later than tomorrow morning," dad replies. "I'm announcing the plans at breakfast, you should start packing up the files son.""After I finish re

"Baby what are you doing?" The awful woman asks with a tight smile. She comes over to my bed and pushes Elle off my lap to make room for herself."Um excuse me," Elle mutters, her cheeks bright red as she stands up to leave."Bella sit down," I tell her and she continues to walk to the door. I manage to get the woman off my lap and get to Elle before she leaves. "Listen before you go."She sighs reluctantly as I take her back to the bed, bringing her down to my lap once I sit down. "Seriously Nicola," the woman says irritated, "who the hell is she?""This is Danielle," I grin as I look at the beautiful woman sitting on my lap, "my fidanzata.""You are so funny Nicola, now who is she really?""Who is she?" Elle whispers in my ear as she glances the the woman sitting next to us."That is Sofia Romano," I tell Elle, "her father is friends with my padre.""It's nice to meet you Sofia," Elle smiles kindly

Danielle's POV:The next morning comes by quickly and everyone is gathering in the living room with whatever they packed. I have two suitcases for Rose and I, plus a backpack. Rose also insisted on taking a backpack so Luca went out and bought her a small pink bag with purple stripes. So she filled it with her dolls that she desperately needed to bring.Aurora asked for Rose and I to go to the garden, right about now actually. She said that she has something to tell everyone, that is very exciting. My guess is it has something to do with the baby but I'm not sure yet. The only other thing it could possibly be is that Aurora and Antonio are engaged, but that definitely wouldn't be the case. Aurora would be too excited to share the news and would've yelled it to everyone as soon as it happened."Sweetheart, we have to go see Aurora now," I tell Rose as she messes with the straps of her new backpack."Wets go momma!" Rose smiles up at me. "I

"Nic?" I ask once we are a little ways from the house. He hums to acknowledge that he heard me and I continue to talk, "when's your birthday?""Where did that come from?" He asks, a little taken back by my question."Well we don't know a lot about each other, but I want to get to know you," I shrug my shoulders. "Now seems like a good time because we have an hour without anyone being able to interrupt us.""December thirtieth," he says and quickly glances my way, "1989.""You're only twenty-eight?" I ask after quickly doing the math in my head."How old are you?" He asks in response, "when's your birthday.""I'm only twenty-two," I tell him, "my birthday is May thirtieth.""Wait, you're only twenty-two?" He asks shocked and I nod my head."Yep," I say, popping the 'p', "born in 1996.""Damn," he mutters and he tightens his grip on my hand slightly. "Any brothers or sisters?""Two, one brother and one sister," I tell him.
