Bria's POVI am no fan of Mia Costa, but I realize I do not love Riccardo Marino. I only wanted him because I could not get him, and my father kept pushing him down my throat. If I married him, my father would have killed him or made him hand him the Godfather title using me. My father is very ambitious and has always wanted to become the Godfather. However, he is also a coward and will never fight the Godfather for the position, unlike Riccardo, who went to face the Godfather because he was misusing his powers and steering the Italian Mafia in the wrong direction. Riccardo fought the previous Godfather to get the title, and the Italian Mafia's Dons respect him. My father has lost the last respect the Dons had for him tonight with the stunt he tried to pull, and going after children will earn him more disrespect, but I know my father, once he puts his mind to something, there is nothing and no one that will change his mind. He will get himself killed if he does not get his whole famil
Mia's POVMy men tell me that my parents have moved out of the house. I am glad because I want to demolish that house with so many bad memories. I will look at it one last time to remember why I will never mistreat any of my children. I drive to the old house and walk through it. I see my old room is still intact and that my parents did not take anything of mine with them. I smile because I do not care. I tell my men to remove the rubbish and give it to poor people that may need it. I will never need any of the things in my old room again. I hear someone walking into the old empty house, and I hide to ensure they do not hear or see me. My men have removed the old stuff from my room and are not around. I have my gun with me and will not hesitate to use it. My car is parked in front of the old house, and I know someone may think I am an easy target and come after me. "Mia! Are you here?" I hear Lorenzo call out for me, and I know he will do me no harm because he would have snuck up on
Third Person's POVLeonardo has second thoughts about their plan as he sees how beaten up one of Parisi's men is. Parisi looks at the man that is giving him Riccardo's message. Parisi is not so brave anymore, but he knows he is already the laughingstock of the Mafia, and many know about his plan. He tried to get a few Dons on board. Dons, he thought, were his friends. The Dons want nothing to do with kidnapping the Godfather's children and tell Parisi he has lost his mind. They all know that Riccardo is not someone to play with, and many do not believe he has children as no one knows about them. Besides, no one wants to piss off Donna Costa. She is almost as powerful as Riccardo, and if the children are hers and Riccardo's, then Parisi is asking for trouble. Riccardo does not know what to do as he knows his sister's house is unsafe, as Parisi will know where his family is staying. He can only think of renting a place for now, but Riccardo does not want to. He is at his wit's end when
Riccardo's POV The twins are not going to school at the moment as we want to take out the danger before sending them back to school. I like the house we are in now. I feel it is safe, and I know I have been hard on Mia for appointing someone she does not know, but she needs to realize that she and the twins are my whole life. I did not have time to show her how much I love her, and for now, the twins are safe, but I need to plan what to do with the two older men. I know they will never stop to get what they think belongs to them. I must get rid of them for good, or they will be a thorn in my side forever. I am not their biggest fan, and they know it. Don Parisi is an old bastard, and I need to get rid of him once and for all. I think it is time he goes swimming with the fish. I think it will be a great time to show the twins what it is like to be the Godfather of the Mafia. Oliver will take over one day, and he has to be ruthless. "No! They are still babies, and I will not let them
Mia's POV The twins are safe in our new house, and no one knows where they are. We need to eliminate the threat tonight. I do not like disrupting the twins' lives, and they just started attending school. I am upset that I send them to school! I would never have sent them to school if I knew it would endanger their lives. I am upset with myself and Riccardo for talking me into letting them go to school. We need to find out who was spying on them, and I am sure someone from their school has access to all their files and address. If I can find out who it is, they will pay dearly for what they have done. No one puts my children in danger and gets away with it. The twins have fallen asleep, and we carry them to their beds. I tug them in and get ready for tonight. I dress in a black suit with the Don's hat on my head. This is official business, and we are still traditional. We dress all black and white but tonight we put on red ties. We are ready for war. Don Parisi and the little men he h
Christan's POVI can not let Aria and her mother be in danger! My men and I rush to the address Riccardo gave us. I hope I am on time. If something should happen to her, I will never forgive myself. There was a big misunderstanding between Aria and me when we were younger and engaged. I loved her with all my heart, but she caught me in the arms of another woman. I know it doesn't sound good, but I was innocent. I think back to the day it happened. I was in my office minding my own business. I was waiting for Aria to arrive so we could go out to dinner. Aria had finished her studies and was working in Rome at the time. We met in Paris while she was still studying, and I waited for her to move to Rome, where I am staying. She was with me, and we had a great relationship. Guilia Esposito was Aria's friend. She always hit on me, but I ignored it as she was not my type. Guilia is a model, and she worked with Aria, who is a fashion designer. Aria must have told Guila that she would see me
Riccardo's POV I can see that Christan is angry and can not blame him. Aria was rude to Christan, although he rushed her to save her ass. I look at my sister, who is sitting on the sofa. I shake my head as she glares at me. I do not want her to fight with me while the children are around. I do not want her to fight before the children and let them see it. I do not want them to think it is okay for a brother and sister to fight. Aria knows when not to push her luck with me, unlike the beautiful Mia, who can make me angry sometimes and does not know when to stop. I can not stay mad at her, and she knows it. I think she is taking advantage of my weakness for her. A petite little woman is ruling the big bad Godfather of the Mafia. If my friends know this, they will never stop teasing me. I love Mia and the twins and am busy turning into a softy, but do I care? No! I do not care what anyone says. I am in love with Mia. She is the only one I want. I was so against love, but today I am in lo
Mia's POVI know what is coming as Don Parisi and my father is not showing any respect. I do not want them in my life anymore, nor do I want them near my children. I want them to die tonight, but do I want my children to see them die? There is nothing I can do about it. I am still a little mad a Riccardo for talking about it first and allowing them to think it is okay that they can see it, but on the other hand, they must learn that family is important in this business. I feel they are still too young to deal with death, but we live in a brutal world, and this is the Italian Mafia. "Well, it is time. We can not postpone it any longer," I say. I want to get this over with. We break free from our little family hug. Riccardo walks to where the two older men are standing. He pulls out his gun, and my father starts crying. I can not feel anything for the older man as I was never close to him. I see Oliver and Olivia looking at him as he cries, and I know he must feel scared. I can only im
Mia's POVToday we are celebrating love. It is my daughter's wedding. I cannot believe that life has come full circle. I once was Don Riccardo's mistress. Now, I am his Donna, and our baby girl is getting married. We have gone through so much together and will still go through so much more. My eyes are full of tears as I look at my beautiful daughter in her white wedding gown. She looks beautiful. I can't believe that I almost lost her daddy. He looks so proud walking beside her as he walks her down the aisle where Mark awaits her. I look at Oliver standing next to Mark. He is the best man. Eva is the bridesmaid. The two of them had surprised us and had been dating for a long time. I know Oliver is waiting for her to finish her studies before they get too serious. He knows Eva is still young and wants to enjoy her life on campus. Oliver is not jealous and allows her to go out with her friends. However, I know Eva does not go out. She does not like going out with Oliver. Daria and Dmi
Mark's POVIt is a few months after Enzo disappeared from our lives. Today I have decided to ask Olivia to marry me. First, I have to go to Don Riccardo and Donna Mia. I will have to ask him if I can marry their daughter. I am slightly nervous as I am from the Russian Mafia, and they are from the Italian Mafia. Oliver will take over from his father. I do not want Olivia to be my mistress. I want her to be my wife. I have too much respect for her to even think of her as a mistress. I know that is how Don Riccardo and Donna Mia started out. I have heard the whole story Olivia told me, and I find it very romantic. I want to show them that I respect their daughter. I will never turn into Enzo. I'm glad he is out of our lives, and we never have to see him again. I do not know where he is or what has happened to him. Olivia has been through so much. I will never hurt her, and I believe that Don Riccardo and Donna Mia will know that. She is the love of my life. I never want to lose her. Whe
Olivia's POVI'm sitting in my office waiting for Mark to come and fetch me for lunch. It makes me happy. Sometimes I still think about Enzo and the times we had together. However, after what he has done, I can never forgive him. He went after my family, which is a big no for me. He's getting a lot of backlash on the Internet and in the business community. Everybody knows my father and loves him. I cannot tell why Enzo has done what he did. What he did was take a very promising career and mess it up. I still do not know why he did it. I loved working with him the first time on the first game that we did together. I still think Enzo is very selfish and only thinks about himself. My office door burst open. Enzo Valentino is standing at my doorway."What do you want, Enzo?" I ask."Olivia, please let me just talk to you. I've got so much that I need to explain to you. I know what I did was wrong. I love you. I understand what I have done is wrong. I know now that I should never have take
Enzo's POV I did not expect somebody to find and post my files on social media, but I should have guessed that if somebody could find them, it would be Olivia. I guess I am exposed. This is the end of me because my company shares folded. I have nothing left to live for. I guess all I can do is go overseas. Nobody knows me there. I should make a new beginning. I have messed with the wrong families. I should not have tried to take on the Marinos. I should have known that I would stand by each other and that they would never turn against each other. What I did was wrong. I know that now. I should have listened to my parents and never taken on Riccardo Marino. I don't know what made me think I could win a war against them. It does not mean that I forgave them. I do not like him, but it's nothing I can do against him. He has won the war, and I am giving up. I have lost so much. I feel it is my own fault. I should have never taken a Riccardo Marino on. Can I turn back? No. I wish I could t
Olivia's POV Yes, I am in love with Mark. I cannot help it. He is a very handsome man. He is strong and reliable. It means more to me that he stands by my side than Enzo's looks. What Enzo has done is just wrong in my eyes. Enzo attacked my parents. He has asked for a war. My family is sacred to me, and I believe my family does not deserve what he does to them. I believe that my father was wrong. Even in the end, he did help Enzo's family. Enzo's mother and father are not holding a grudge against my father. So why is he? I cannot believe that Enzo has turned out so bad. I cannot believe that at one time in my life, I believed that I was in love with him. So now Enzo is going to have problems. I cannot believe that I have to do this, but I have to. I have to protect my family against a person like Enzo. " Are you okay, honey? It would be best if you did not feel wrong about what we will do to him. We have to expose him because of your family. We cannot lead your father to be blamed fo
Mark's POVI have seen the photos of Riccardo online. I know they are fake because I know that Riccardo Marino will never do something like that. I am very optimistic that his family is standing with him and that they will never believe that he will do something like that. They all know him, and they know how much he loves Mia. Enzo has gone too far this time. I understand that the Marino family will not stand for it. However, I know how to expose him once and for all. Tomorrow, Enzo will be revealed. I know he is the one that is behind the photos, and I know that it is him in the pictures. Enzo has made one big mistake. He has missed the wrong person. Also, he has not taken into account that Riccardo is a much older man than he is, and the body of an older man does not look like the body of a younger man. I sent him that message to let him know I would expose him. "Are you also looking at the photos of my father on the internet?" A voice comes from the door of my office. I look up,
Enzo's POV Everything is going wrong, and I do not understand why. My company is losing money daily. The Russian Mafia has abandoned me, and the Dons of the Italian Mafia are telling me they no longer want to work with me. I do not know what I have done wrong. I was so sure that I had everything planned out. Everything changed when Olivia showed up again. Was she even gone? I believe she was always working behind the scenes, making me furious. I thought she loved me and would not be a problem for me in the future. I was wrong. I have often seen her with Mark Ivanov in the last few weeks. I cannot say that I have enjoyed it. I still believed that Olivia belonged to me. If I can get her, I can get the Costa family. And with the Costa family at my side, the Valentino and Costa families will become more powerful than the Marino family. We will be able to take over the Godfather ring. If only I could persuade Olivia that I still love her and need her to send by my side against her own fam
Mark's POV The rest of the night we spent together in another nightclub. We have fun and soon forget about Enzo. We have promised ourselves that we will not think about him for the rest of the night. Valentino is nothing in our eyes. I can see that he did not even upset Eva or Olivia. He might think that he is still something in their eyes. He may think that he is irresistible to all women. He is making a mistake if he believes that Eva or Olivia or even thinking about him. We enjoy ourselves drinking a few drinks and dancing the night away. I like being close to Olivia, and I am sure she likes being close to me. The two of us are dancing the whole night. We forget about Oliver and Eva. We are enjoying ourselves as we dance. "Shall we go home? It is already late. I do not want to get you home too late. I do not think your father will appreciate it if I get you home too late," I say. I can see Olivia is not in the mood to go home. She pulls her face at me and sticks her tongue out.
Olivia's POV Enzo is becoming more isolated daily. He thinks that the Dons are on its side. He does not know that the Dons contact us and tell us everything he plans to do. Nobody likes him because he thinks he is better than everyone else. He believes he is the most clever person in the world. He thinks everybody around him is stupid. We are foolish and will allow him to take over the Italian Mafia. This is the beginning of his end. I am planning to ruin him financially over the next few months. Enzo needs to be humbled. He may be clever, but he is not a very good businessman. Yes, he made money from his tech company, but only because he has been the only one in the game. Not that I am giving him a little bit of trouble with the tech company. His stocks are falling, and most Dons are out to help me ruin him. Enzo has pissed off a lot of people. He has used him, and he has used their daughters. I'm going on a date with Mark, Eva, and Oliver tonight. I do not know where they plan to
