Third Person's POV"I am telling you, do not worry. After a few days, he will stop looking like a monkey and look like a human. Just Drive carefully, Uncle Christan. We don't want the monkey to leave its cage right now. When my brother was born, I was worried, and he looked like a monkey. But look at him now. He's beautiful," Oliver says from the back of the car."Ohh honey, we are not worried, and we know that babies at all, newly born, are not that beautiful," Aria says. " You saw Rolando didn't you?" Oliver asks. ''Of course, we saw him, but he looked just fine. All newborn babies do not look beautiful when they are born," Christan says as he tries to get to the hospital as fast and safely as possible. As they reach the hospital, Oliver shows them where to go, acting like he knows everything. He is the expert, after all, because he was already with his parents when his brother was delivered. While they help Christan and Aria, Oliver walks to the waiting room, knowing he must wai
Guilia's POVI cannot believe that Aria came to me and talked about me and my baby. I hope she is serious and will give us a chance in life. I will do my best and work every hour it takes for me to work. But as long as I can keep my baby, I will be the happiest woman alive. I have already fallen in love with little Jasmine. And I cannot think that I can even live without her. She is my whole life, although she has only entered my life a few days ago. I look at my tiny baby, sleeping beside me in the hospital bed."Mommy will give you the best life I can, my child. I promise you even if I must work my hands to the bone. I want you to know that I will do anything for you, even if I have to wash the floors at the boutique. I will do the job as long as I can keep you. I do not want you to be raised by other people. I want to know that you are happy when you grow up, and I want to give you the best I can. I know I am not the best person, but I promise to change and become somebody you can
Guilia's POVI never thought that I could be this happy in my life without having a man. I have been looking after myself and my baby for the first time in many years. I must admit it is hard to be a working woman with a baby, but I am enjoying every moment, as I cannot imagine my life without Jasmine. Aria has taught me everything there is to know about the boutique. And I am doing all the bookkeeping and the orders by myself. The girls in the particular Jasmine Anti laughed, playing with her, and they loved to dress her up. I cannot believe I am this happy and have a place of my own. I do not have to worry about anybody kicking me out because they got tired of me for being their lover. Arya has given me the first option to buy this place when I have enough money. She and Christan have built a new home for themselves here in New York City when they visit. They do not need the apartment anymore. I have agreed to buy from them as soon as possible.They do not need the money right now,
Guilia's POVThe following day, I get to work as usual, and when I arrive, I am surprised to see the girls all giggling. And I do not know what is happening until I see the big bouquet of yellow roses waiting for me on my table in my office. With it is a card and it reads: Thank you for the coffee yesterday. I enjoyed your company, and I was hoping that you would join me for dinner tonight. You do not have to worry. We do not have to go out. I will bring it to your apartment, and we can enjoy it there. Mario. PS, here is my phone number. Please text me if it is okay. And he leaves his number underneath it.I did not expect to hear from him again because men don't usually want to date a woman who already has children. Or a child, in my case. I thought Mario would forget about me and I would never hear from him again. At first, I do not know what to do. The girls come walking in, and they all smile at me."Is that sexy guided to give a coffee yesterday? We did not read the court because
Mia's POVI cannot help but realize that Mario seems very happy these days. I wondered what was going on in his life, but I was too afraid to ask him because I did not want to sound like I was interfering in his personal life or that I was nosy. I catch him singing in the hallway as the Twins, and I walk around the corner. He is singing a love song, and I think Mario is in love, but I do not know what to say or do."Mario, why are you singing, and why are you always looking so happy? Are you in love?" Olivia asks the question that I want to ask. "Oh, Donna, Don Oliver, and Donna Olivia. I have not seen you, and I'm sorry. I was just in a happy mood, wanted to sing, and thought everybody was out. I will be doing my duties right now. But yes, Donna Olivia, I am in love. I know I can not hide it forever, and I do not know how to tell the Don. I would love to have a few days off and spend with my new love and her baby," Mario says. "She has a baby? Is it yours?" I cannot help to ask. I
Third person's POV Mia is glad that she went to the boutique and talked to Guilia. They are friends now, and Riccardo was happy with the little surprise she had for him. Mia and Ricardo are currently working from their office again. They know the Twins are out of danger and are being watched twenty-four-seven by the guards. But they are surprised when they get a call from the school telling them that the Twins are in trouble. Mia and Riccardo rushed to the school to see what the Twins had done this time. As I walk into the principal's office, they can see that Oliver and Olivia have been in a fight. The other boy sitting in the principal's office is Peter. One can see who has lost the battle. Peter's face looks like he has been in a car accident. Oliver only has a split lip, and Olivia has a red cheek. Next to Peter, a little girl is sitting. Her name is Anita. One can see that her hair has been pulled and that her cheeks are a little swollen. "What happened? Did you two fight? Wha
Riccardo's POV I feel sorry for the Twins as I look at them in the rearview mirror. They are sitting quietly, and I know they did not expect all the drama in school. I know Mia is set on punishing them, and I am thinking of a way to get them off on a lighter punishment. I know I cannot go against Mia and that we will have to stand together as parents so that the children can learn not to play us against each other. We will have to show unity, and we will have to decide on a punishment for them together. Grounding them will not help. Taking away their games would not help because they won't miss them. I do not know what we can do to punish them. "We are sorry we messed up at school, Mom, Dad. We will take our punishment and know what we did was wrong. We will understand if you want to ground us and take away our games and to watch TV," Oliver says. I smile because I know it is very sly. He will not miss watching TV or playing games because they are more outside children and likes to
Mia's POVI cannot believe it is almost time for my children to attend university. The years have gone by so fast. This is the last year that the Twins are going to school. Next year, they will be leaving the house and going to university. The Twins have changed a lot. Oliver is a popular one. He is the captain of the football team. And Olivia is the quiet one. She is always on her computer. She wants to study computer science and is not as popular as her brother in school. Olivia is beautiful, and I know many boys in school want to date her, but she does not care about it. She does not want to be on the chair reading squad and thinks it is in vain. She does not like to hang out with popular girls like Anita Smith. Anita is the school's beauty queen; everybody knows she participates in beauty pageants. I expect her to one day become Miss America. Her father could never win the argument against Emily, who is still trying to get my husband in bed. I know, Riccardo, we will never sleep w
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
