Joseph POV“Today, you took a long time in an orphanage,” Ella asked once I reached home.“Yeah, Lots of social work required for the company,” I said, taking my leave to go upstairs to my room.“Did Serena like her food?” She asked and I stopped in midway.“Yes, ...” I said, resuming my way to go into my room.“Joseph… Cassy wants to spend a little time with you, Can you take her out this weekend,” She asked again.“I have a flight at midnight, I need little rest,” I said, ignoring her request.“Ohk… Take rest” She said in a low voice and I know Ella wants me to move on from what happened a year ago, but I fucking don't want anyone to interfere in my life.Entering my room I directly entered my closet opening the rose side of the door I inhaled her cloth which was still having her fragrance that clam my sense giving me peace to live to avenge herself and our baby. I didn't allow anyone to enter my closet. So, her fragrance can't be mixed with another one. I wanted her fragrance never
“What…” I asked, looking at my little Angel.“I also want lipstick like you,” She said, pointing to my lip gloss.“It's not lipstick, and you are not old enough to use it,” I said, combing her hair.“But I want this” She pouted, and I chuckled.“First be a good girl and have your breakfast,” I said, taking her in my arms.“I want to avoid eating it” She wrinkled her nose looking at Italian Baked Eggs & Sausage.“So, what do you want to eat,” I asked.“Pancakes” Her eye lit up with her smile.“I will make on weekends, Now eat it fast, or you will get late for school,” I said, putting a spoon in her mouth.“Shopping,” She said, chewing her food.“Don't talk while you are eating” I sternly told her. She pouts but chews her food quietly.We had our breakfasts in silence. I know she wanted to ask about shopping, but I can't tell her that I can't take her shopping this Christmas. It still has one week for Christmas, and I am trying to save a little, so I can buy a good dress for her.“Mommy
Joseph POV.Fresh early morning wind greeted me in Italy when I step down from my jet. Stephen was standing near the car, waiting for me. “Hey Josh” He came to take me his hug.“How's Steph,” I asked, broking our hug.“Good as always” He smirked.“That I can see, have decided your wedding date,” I asked looking at his fingers.“Ohhh, I forgot to remove it. I have broken up” He chuckled weakly removed the ring from his finger and put it down in his pocket.“What happened,” I asked.“Nothing, A long story will tell you once we get what we wanted,” He said, and I nodded.“Have you arranged a meeting?” I asked.“Yes, this Sunday we have a meeting with Matteo,” He said, opening the car door for me.“Still, I have a few more days,” I said, taking my seat.“Boss, you have to attend one of the public school Christmas events for charity,” Brendon said, looking at me in the mirror.“Ohhh, yes,” I said. I had forgotten that we also have charity events.“Why public school, that too in Italy,” St
Joseph POV“So, do you think Matteo agrees with us,” I asked Stephen?“Why not, The hotel is only his source of power and income. If he wants to save himself he has to surrender himself to us” He said.“No, He won't. That's not enough to let him down. We need power in hotels and shares. How many shares do we have” I asked?“Forty-six” He replied.“We require five more shares,” I said.“How many partners does he have in his hotel,” I asked the second question.“Three”“So get a share from them,” I said, putting a spoon of onion on the plate.“They have already surrendered their share to us” He replied.“How many Matteo has,” I asked.“He has forty-nine,” He said, sipping his wine.“Where is remained five,” I asked, arching my brows.“Alessandro, Russi” He sighed.“I want to meet him,” I said, leaving my chair.“I tried to speak with him so many times, but he is not ready,” Stephen said.“Ask again, Maybe this time he agreed because Leonardo is no more” “Ok capo” Stephen smirked and I
It is unclear to me why the whole time my eyes were searching for Jess. I wanted to talk to her again. “Do you need anything, boss?” Brendon asked.“That girl, her look is familiar, but I can't recall it,” I said looking in a crowd of babies.“In the world, there are so many faces that are similar, boss,” He said, and I nodded.I must be overthinking how it can be possible someone from Italy can look alike, similar. I shook all my thoughts and focus on the stage looking at the function.“Where is the washroom,” I asked.“Go straight, take first left,” the Principal said, and I nodded.“I am coming with you,” Brendon said.“No worries, I am coming in a few minutes. If you think it's late just call me” I said leaving the garden area.All the bodyguard is already guarding the school. Italy is not at all a safe place for me. Few attacks in the past have cleared my thoughts. Now it's more dangerous because I am the one who is more powerful now to take capo's seat.I used the washroom and
Rose POV“What happened,” I asked, taking Jessica from her teacher. I was in a cab waiting for her. I had already booked a cab from the café to my home, so I don't need to change the cab.“Kids fought, and her dress was torn off” the Teacher replied with an awkward smile.“Are you fine, baby?” I asked.“Yes, Mummy…” She replied.“This dress is for Jessica,” the Teacher said, forwarding the shopping bag.“Dress,” I asked.“Our chief guest of today's event brought for Jessica,” She said, and I nodded, taking it“Thank you for calling me,” I said to her teacher, and closed the door of the taxi.“What are you wearing baby,” I asked looking at the black charcoal coat on her.“One nice uncle was in school today, he gave me his jacket,” She said looking at me.“Does the same person have given you a dress?” I asked and she nodded.“He has also given me a gift and for Jonathan,” She said and arch my brow looking at her.“How did he know Johnathan,” I asked.“He saw my drawing and asked… Mama,
“Where is my dress” the First question Jessica asked after taking bath.“I am going to return it,” I said, taking a deep breath. “Why…” She asked, looking at me.“Baby, We can't take any gifts from a stranger. It's not good manners.” “The Dress was beautiful” She whispered looking down. I dried her body and wet hair.“I will buy a dress for you,” I said, trying to cheer up her.“Would you buy the same dress for me?” She asked, looking at me with hopeful eyes.“Hmmm… Yes.” I said, taking a sigh.“Thank you, mamma” She hugged me.“Now have breakfast, and after I will go to school to return his jacket and your dress and after will collect your bag” “And the gifts,” She asked.“Yes gifts too"I fed her breakfast. Now her vacation started she is free the whole day, so I can take her to the cafe with me, but I know I have to find some activities for her, so she will be busy and learn something new instead of playing all day.“Do you want to join any class during your vacation?” I asked.“
Joseph POV“Alessandro, What do you want from me in return for giving me your 5% share of Leo Club and hotel”“I just want to end the last blood of Leonardo's family”“You are also part of his family,” I asked, arching my brows.“No.” He yelled. I sat calmly looking at him.“He was an adopted child of my grandfather,” He said, fisting his hand.“But he divided everything equally,” I said, as the whole of Italy knows.“No, they fucking don't know anything. My grandfather gave his power to Leonardo and most important capo position which was taught his son is incapable to be a Mafia leader because he has studied Medicine, and he has enough money to run a good business".“Your father didn't object” “No, He was happy with that because he was always wanted to far away from violence” “Then why are you so much interested,” I asked, getting confused with his family history.“I stay with my grandfather since I was 10 years old. I saw my grandfather and how he ruled, and how everyone is fear w
