Third person's POVAmara walks up and down. She, her brother, and her mother are in Cedar Falls. They have not heard from her father in the last few days. She knew this would not end well for her father and Don Parisi. She wished they would have listened to her, Bria, and her brother. She knows her father and Don Parisi are dead and should not have messed with Riccardo and Mia. Amara knows her father, and Don Parisi planned to go after the twins. Even in the Mafia, going after a Don's children is unacceptable. But the two stupid older men went after the Godfather's children. She is sure that her father and Don Parisi are not alive anymore to tell their story. "I am sure your father is still alive, and I cannot live without him. How will we survive? None of us have any money, and I am sure Don Parisi will ensure they do not get caught. Maybe they cannot contact us because they have the children and are afraid that Riccardo will trace their calls," Arriana says. " My husband is not th
Third person's POVRiccardo wants to propose to Mia, but he wants to make it very romantic and involve the children. He tries to think of a way to propose to Mia but thinks he will need help. Maybe he should ask his mother and sister what he can do to propose to Mia. Riccardo does have a vacation house in Florida. The house is on the beach, and Riccardo plans to ask Mia to marry him there. That is as far as he came. He cannot think of and plan to ask her to marry him. He does not want it to be just any proposal. He wants the children also to be part of it. He will ask his mother and Aria to help him think of a plan to ask Mia to marry him. He wanted to be very special, something she would remember for the rest of her life. Riccardo decides to go to his sister's house and ask Aria and his mother to help him with a good idea for the proposal. He must slip away so Mia and the children don't know where he is going. He tells Mia that he will go to his office and has some work to do that h
Third Person's POVRiccardo and the children drive home. He needs to talk to them and tell them his plans because he wants their mother to be surprised. But he wants them to know they will be part of the proposal. He also wants to ask them about their fight with Peter. He also is very curious as to why the children did not call their mother and call him. They could have just given their mother's number to the principal, but they decided to give his, and he is surprised that they did that. "Dad, will you tell Mom what we had to fight at school? Mommy does not like us having fights and will not be very pleased with us. That is why we called you," Oliver asks, and he looks very upset by the idea of his mother, knowing that he was in a fight."We will keep it a secret between us, and it was not like Peter was not looking for it. I am proud of you for standing up for the weaker children in your school, and I don't mind that you hit a bully," Riccardo says."I knew we should call you. I to
Third Person's POVMia and Riccardo are unaware of the danger lurking near them. The man standing on the hill is a little older than Riccardo. Next to him is a little boy and an older man. The older man looks like an older version of Riccardo. Matteo Marino stands next to Luca Valentino. Don Luca Valentino is the son of the godfather that Riccardo killed to become the new godfather. Enzo, the young boy standing beside the two older men, looks unhappy. The man, his father, is looking at through the binoculars, killed his grandfather. The older man standing next to him is the father of the new godfather. Enzo does not understand why the older man is turning against his own son. Everybody knows in the Italian Mafia that you must stand with your family. He does not understand how a father can betray his son. He will never betray his father, and he knows his father will never betray him. "Are we going to kill the whole family, Dad?" Enzo asks his father. Enzo does not know where his mothe
Sofia's POV I have to sneak into Luca's mansion. I need to find out, sooner or later, what the hell is happening, who is behind him, and his plans to kill Riccardo. This has been going on for years, and I know that my husband has followed Riccardo for years. I have been trained very well by Mia and the other members of the Costa family. Riccardo knows that Luca is following him and that lately, he has been bringing their son with him when he is following Riccardo. I know he's looking for an opportunity to get Riccardo alone to take out Riccardo. But that will not happen because Riccardo knows everything, and I know I am the only reason he is still alive. Riccardo has promised he will not take out my husband while I work for Mia. But Luca is now taking huge chances, and Riccardo knows he was close to the vacation home when they were alone in Florida. Riccardo has spies everywhere. And the sooner Luca realizes that, the better. But I need to get into his office and see who the hell is
Third person's POV "I do not understand why my father keeps you away from me. Why won't he let me see you?" Enzo asks his mother. "He thinks I betrayed him by going to work for the Costa family. He thinks that I have betrayed the Valentino family. He does not understand what I am doing, is because of him. I needed to protect him against Riccardo. Riccardo never saw your father as a threat. I convinced Riccardo that your father does not threaten him and his position in the Italian Mafia. I knew your father could not do anything or come near Riccardo, but Riccardo has become very paranoid because of his children. He does not like anybody coming too close to his children or family. I think it has to do with Don Parisi and Leonardo Costa coming so close to his mother and sister. Lately, your father has become brave. He shows up everywhere near Riccardo and his family. And last time, he brought you with him. That is why I decided to take out whoever is responsible for your father's obsess
Luca's POVI am worried about my son. He has not been home all night, and I'm worried that something might have happened to him or somebody might have kidnapped my son. We have been looking for him everywhere. If something happens to Enzo, I will never forgive myself. We have been looking for him all over town. I can also not reach Matteo and have not heard from him since last night. My men come running in. "Don, they have found Matteo's body in a dark alley in the town. It looks like the street gangs got to him as he was killed execution-style. We still have not found your son," One of my men says. I'm getting worried now. What if something has happened to Enzo as well? A car pulls up to the house. I see Sofia getting out of the vehicle with Enzo. What the hell is she doing here? And how the hell did she get a hold of my son? I storm outside as I am angry. I am not in the mood for Sofia. I don't want to see her."Where have you been? I've been worried crazy about you!" I shout at En
Amara's POVMy mother and I moved to New York and now stay in my grandparents' old house. I am trying very hard to find a job, but the only job I can get is a waitress or a stripper. My mother has not even started looking for a job. And I am getting very fed up with it. At the moment, I am working two jobs. During the day, I work at Rosa's Diner. At night time, I work as a stripper in a very sketchy strip club. I have to do this because my mother refuses to work. She says she is too old to work, but she is not at all. And she can have a job at any diner if she wants to. I want to go and see Mia because I feel Mia owes us. The family business should be all of ours and not hers alone. I should be working there with her and helping her with that business because I am also a Costa. Riccardo should be mine. He is only with her because she has his children. I am sure Riccardo will not be happy with a woman like Mia. Mia is not his type. Mia is not beautiful, and I do not understand why Ricc
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
