MAFIA RULES 59
He stands just by the door, the fingers of one hand still wrapped around the doorknob, eyebrows pinched, and a scowl of annoyance on his lips. I look at him from head to toe, he looks real, dark green eyes looking at me without blinking, tousled black hair, and a tight black shirt stretches over his wide chest, he looks bigger, having put on more muscle, dark jeans, and a pair of black boots laced halfway on his feet. Pushing up from the floor I stumble in his direction, blinking a few times to clear my vision, my hand his reaching towards his chest frowning, this must be a hallucination from snacking my head on the floor, I've never hallucinated in my life but there is a first time for everything, expect my fingers do not go through him, I poke him again in the center of his chest, he is very solid, I look up to find him looking down at the finger I have on his chest. "Did you hurt yourself just now?" I jump on him, “It’s really you! You’re alive?” It comes out like a question but

“I started working last summer, just before the twins arrived” “What?” The look on his face tells me exactly how ridiculous he thinks that is. “Yeah…”“Still making trouble I see?" Miguel shakes his head "I thought being a mama now you would tone it down a little, should have known better” “I’m not that bad,” I say laughing“Yes Lola, you are” I laughed again. Walking down the hall I see Tommy coming towards us his eyes glued to his phone “Tommy!" I yelled "Look who’s back” I pointed at Miguel beside me. Tommy's brows go up, disappearing into the hair that’s fallen over his forehead a grin appearing on his face. “Bro! What’s up?” They clasp hands and do a bro hug thing, Tommy slapping Miguel twice on the back. “We thought you died motherfucker” “Thought I might too for a sec there” Miguel returns and they chuckle the image is so heartwarming. These two have always been close, it was one of the things that baffled me when Miguel disappeared, Tommy seemed so unbothered. But looki

"To Miguel!” “Cheers!” I say loudly with the others clicking my glass with Niko and then Eva. I lean over the table to click my glass with the man of the hour. All the guys were also surprised to see him, apparently only Niko suspected where he was all this time. Tommy thought he was on an assignment and knew not to ask questions. Because doing so could blow his cover. I’m just happy he’s back, a part of me that has always worried about him is at peace now. Nothing, absolutely nothing can bring me down now. “Thank you, everyone,” Miguel says. “Another strong man added to our ranks, well done son, now if only someone would decide to make me a proud grandfather sometime before I die, possibly soon” Matteo tips his glass in his son’s direction. I swallow a laugh. “Not this again” Vincent grumbles throwing back his wine in one glup. “At almost thirty I already had you and you’re not even considering settling down, just look at Niko, he’s two ahead of you” My brows go up, still

Vanessa has always been her own person, though I would like to make her my sister and bring her into the family, she can be rather… well, wild. Now that I think about it, she thought Niko handling our son was the ‘sexiest thing ever’ Vincent and Niko are somewhat similar, physically. Niko is more quiet and cold, while Vincent is brooding and a bit of an asshole if you’re the kind to get offended easily. But that doesn’t make him less attractive in the least, I think if you like them bad, he's right up your alley. After her comment the other day about wanting to fuck someone, this could catch two birds with one net. It’s excellent. And their names match, Vincent and Vanessa, just like Dominiko and Delores. If that isn’t a sign I don’t know what is- “Not a chance” his refusal immediate, cdidnt even let me bask in the glow of my excellent matchmaking. I straightened confused “Why not, don’t you like her? She is the most gorgeous woman I know, with a great fashion sense, you are be
MAFIA RULES 63
The rules had to do with serving, The first rule, boldly written is; Serve your husband, serve your family before yourself. Always remember duty, sacrifice, honor your husband. One woman wrote; After a hard day at work, offer him your breast. I had a good laugh after reading that, but it took me some time to get the true meaning, comfort in a woman’s bosom is a form of comfort to others. So after a hard day at work, be a loving wife. Take care of him. Another one said: Love your capo my future sisters and daughters. You are the only one who can, when others fear and respect him, he is yours to love, and he will honor you in return. If he does not, the Salvatore family will remember your sacrifice. That, that, was deep, the name attached to that was Rebehak Iris Salvatore, wife to Rafael Brenad Salvatore. I took note of the name, she seemed like an interesting woman. Another woman wrote, very boldly might I add; Fuck your husband, my dear, every night if possible, just be

“Babies, can you imagine what your papa did?” I ask the twins, and of course, neither of them answers me, they've probably already written the mama off as a crazy lady today. I bite my bottom lip shyly The man is crazy, but as he has already paid... I better start getting ready. I quickly text Maria. Me: something nice for tonight, Niko and I will dine upstairs I put Calea on one hip then lean over the couch my hand going to my son's back, already knows what to expect, his little arms wrap around my neck and I place him on my other hip. "Smart boy" "Let's go see if I can find that red dress, Mama has a date tonight," I whispered then kissed their heads one after the other. I head straight to the closet, the twins in tow I'm not sure I can remember the dress he wants in particular. "This is going to be fun, yes?" I spent the rest of the evening getting ready, pausing after painting my nails to feed the twins and myself as I was getting a little hungry. Leaving enough space

NIKO Past... “Nikki, what are you doing here?” I ask, wondering who I have to maim for letting her into my office without permission. The dark-haired woman stutters towards my desk in a red jumpsuit, a designer bag hanging off her arm. “Sometimes a girl needs a little excitement in life, where else to find it than here in New York? We always have fun together, fighting, fucking, blowing shit up, a man like you has needs, so I thought why the hell not” she ends with a shrug. I keep looking at her with an unamused expression because that’s all I feel at the moment, my wife is in a delicate condition right now which makes her vulnerable and emotional. Not like she’s able to control her emotions on a normal day, but these days it’s worse, just yesterday, she called me crying because she saw cute puppies on the internet. The time before that was baby shoes. I don’t want anything upsetting her, and Nikki being here will upset her greatly. She’s a jealous little thing, my wife, I can’t

LOLA Present... Niko bathes the children and I assist him in dressing them, he picks out a cute baby blue sweat and matching pants for Caela and puts some accessories in her hair, I’d like to point out she didn’t fight him half as much as she would have me. I am the assistant parent today because when it’s time to feed them I take a back seat and watch as he feeds spoons of oatmeal into their little mouths, handing him napkins and holding the plates when necessary. Caela is all smiles, as he wipes her chin, her hand going to hold his arm to her face. Then he leans towards the right to do the same to Angelo who pokes out his tongue, getting a little taste of napkin. I bring out my phone and take a picture of them saying “commemorating family history” when the three of them look at me, when he turns back to the children, I take some more, I swipe through the pictures finding one that came out really nicely, I should frame this one, I think to myself, in the afternoon we put them do
