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.

Nicola's POV:It has already been a few days since we've arrived at the safe house. Dad and I have been making arrangements to attack the French. A few of our men at the main house are keeping us updated on the French. My father is helping me get ready for the drive back to the main house, we are set to leave in an hour. Our men back at that house said that the French are less than a days trip away, so we need to get to them before they get to the house."Figlio," dad says as I put my vest on, "you need to eat before we go. Your mother will kill you herself if you left before you ate.""Are the men ready to go?" I ask as I load a pistol before I put it in the holster that's around my waist."They will have to come down to get their vests but that is it," dad tells me as he stands up. "Go get something to eat, everything is already set.""I know, I just have to make sure everything goes according to plan," I tell him, grabb

"Nico! They don't have anymore back ups. You need to get through these men fast to get to Perez," Stefano says through my ear piece. "Maximo is taking a van back to the main house. We have at least eight men hurt.""Make sure you get through the house to make sure they are ready," I reply. I grab my pistol and turn around the corner to make sure there is no one coming my way. I notice movement and duck back around the corner. I poke my head around and see that it is Luca walking out. I step out from behind the wall and Luca notices me. I jog over to him and that's when I notice one of the French aiming their gun towards the two of us."Mario found Perez-" Luca starts and that's when it's like time slows down."Luca move!" I shout and push Luca down to get him out of the way. I go to move as well but all I feel is a intense burning throughout my whole entire torso. I go to scream but nothing comes out and that's when Luca stands up and shoots the man who shot at

"We have to get going," I rush out as I put my bag over my shoulder. "We still have a two hour drive.""We are almost set to leave," Alcee tells me as she grabs her own bag. "The cars will leave shortly." I go to say something but Alcee just gives me a look. I keep my mouth shut and Alcee grins before she takes Rose's hand. She leads us down to the cars to pack them up. A lot of the men that went out yesterday came back to help pack up everything. They spent most of their time carrying things down to the cars and getting their own belongings."First car is leaving now if you are ready," Antonio tells me as I get outside."Where is it?" I ask and he leads me over to the grey car. "Who is driving it?""Me," he replies as he opens up the trunk. He puts Rose's bags in first before mine and Alcee's. I quickly buckle in the car seat that Antonio brought over so Rose can get in. Once she is buckled in I go around the car to sit in the back with her, Alcee is up

"They told us how it happened and what it hit.""What happened? Is it going to effect him permanently? Will he live?" I rush out questions and Aurora has to stop me."He's okay," she tells me and I sigh in relief. "They say he should be out of the coma in the next few hours.""Coma!" I shout and Aurora calms me down."Medically induced," she stops me and I stop panicking. "That's why we haven't heard of him asking for anyone. He's been asleep the past few days.""So what exactly happened?" I asked remembering why she came to me in the first place."He was hit twice," Aurora starts off with and my eyes widen. "It hit his right shoulder, that one wasn't as bad. It was easy to remove and they stitched it right up.
