Theodore POV“Sir, we are landing now.” One of the hostess announced.I closed my laptop and stretched my legs, making myself comfortable on the couch.Benefits of owning a private jet.We landed and my car was already waiting outside for me. Since it was a business trip, there was no need to take my men with me.Moreover I had topnotch security here in LA, also to keep me away from the press. If not I might just get bombarded with so many questions.When I think about my life sometimes, it seems as though I’m living a double life. Here in LA, I’m a multi-millionaire with several companies, but back in Sicily, I’m the Mafia Don.I stepped out of the car when I arrived at my penthouse, it was raining already and I opened the umbrella. It’s funny how it’s spring back in Palermo and it’s raining over here.My mind drifted back to Aria, I remembered when she told me her biggest wish was to travel to different countries someday and Of course I will make that happen.I just want to clear out

Pancho POV My eyes trailed Becca as she walked up to her room after eating her breakfast, she looked so effortlessly beautiful. I guess this is all I can do now, watch her from a distance. I know she probably hates my guts, I hate myself too. Staying away from her especially after that kiss we shared, has to be the hardest thing in my life.I remember her eyes so full of hope after I kissed her, and I crushed it. All I wanted to do that day was to hold her delicate self close to me and never let go but I know it won’t be possible, not when this guilt still lays in my chest.I couldn’t be with her knowing that I keep such huge secret from her. “I don’t get why you are being a coward Pancho, it’s so obvious from your eyes that you are in love with her.” Luciana attacked me with a scowl.“I’m not.” I tried denying but it didn’t work, Luciana read me like a book.“You can’t fool me, your mouth speaks one thing but your eyes say another. Why are you doing this Pancho?.” She asked with

Aria POVIt’s been a week already and Theodore is coming home today, Pancho already went to pick him from the airport.I couldn’t help but feel excited, I was rummaging through my wardrobe looking for what to where.“Love really makes people crazy, tsk.” Becca teased, shaking her head.I looked around my room which was now a mess.Luciana laughed and then brought out a red dress from the wardrobe.“This will entice him enough.” She winked.My cheeks turned red, “I’m not trying to entice him.”They both hummed teasingly, I gave them a playful glare and went inside my closet to change.I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself. A smile appeared on my face- I did look beautiful.“You always look beautiful.” Becca complimented, resting her chin on my shoulders.I chuckled, then my mood dropped slightly when I remembered she was leaving today.“You can stay for a few more days, I’m sure Theodore won’t mind.” I suggested, already missing her.She chuckled, “I know, but I really m

Evan POVI stood by my window and watched as Aria walked to her room. She must have finished the conversation she was having with Dad.Aria is undeniably beautiful, the first time I saw her, I was captivated by her beauty. I kissed her hands just to feel her flawless skin but also to annoy Theodore.I won’t deny that I’m utterly Jealous of him for getting a woman like Aria, but then again, he always attracted all the beautiful ladies, even the woman I wanted so bad was deeply in love with him.I loved Reneè so much. For Ten whole years, I was in love with her but she was too obsessed with Theodore to even notice me.Reneè didn’t care if Theodore loved her or not, she was ready to do anything, absolutely anything, just so he could be with her but he still didn’t want her, no matter what she did.It was really Pathetic to watch and I was so fucking Jealous of him because I would literally do anything for Reneè to show me an ounce of that attention.Then one day, surprisingly, I heard t

Well because I get to see my little girl! and I can’t wait.Becca texted me yesterday night, Dad went on a business trip so I get to spend a day with Paola. I can finally sleep next to her after all this while, I just want to cuddle her already.Theo chuckled as he walked into the room.“Somebody is extra happy this morning.” He smiled.I giggled, “I can’t wait to see my Paolita.”“I’m sure she misses you too, I would have loved for her to spend some time with us here instead. I miss that little princess.” He pouted.I chuckled but I knew he wasn’t joking. It’s surprising the bond they both have.He literally adores her, and she does too. It was the simple truth.From the first day she met Theodore, she has always had a special bond with him and she felt so comfortable around him too. Even after all that happened, she still loved him and rooted for us, she had the major role in bringing us back together again. It just

Reneè POVI plan on carrying out Mom’s plan today. Aria isn’t here right now, which means Theodore would be alone, it would give me the perfect opportunity.“Mom, I still feel like this is a bad idea.” I played with my fingers nervously.“Renee, we have talked about this, just relax and act natural.” She advised.She handed the glass of wine to me, “I added the drug already. Give this to Theodore, It’s a very strong sedative, he won’t even remember what happened when he wakes up.” She assured me.I nodded and picked up the glasses, holding Theodore’s in my left hand, so I wouldn’t mix it up.He arrived a while ago, so he must have settled in by now.I walked to his room and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. He opened it.“Renee?.” He furrowed his brows slightly, I guess he was just surprised to see me.“Hey, I learnt you had the Pre-launch of your new company today, I came to celebrate.” I smiled and raised the glasses.“Um, Thank you... come in.” He said with a small smi

Alexandra POVI stood at the Balcony enjoying the cool breeze of the morning. I have always loved this place, because it is close to the beach, but more importantly, this was where the boys spent their vacation. This house is flooded with their childhood memories. I looked at the picture frame in my hands, it was a picture of Ezekiel and my dear Alessandro. Ezekiel is seated while Alessandro stood beside him, with bright smiles on their faces. I stroked the picture with tears in my eyes, death snatched them away from me.I picked up the second frame and it was a picture of my husband, Alfonso.I smiled sadly and hugged it close to my chest. Alfonso was just more than my husband, he was my Savior sent by the almighty himself. I loved and adored him, that’s why till this very day I would forever be haunted by his soul— because I killed him.The journey of my life and the story of my enmity with the Romanos is one I never like to recall because I suffered a lot, and just thinking ab

Giovanni POV “Darling?.” Celine knocked gently on my door.A smile appeared on my face immediately I saw her and her little protruding belly.I beckoned for her to come to me.“You fell asleep immediately you returned, I guess your flight was stressful.” She massaged my shoulders.“Yea. But all this would be worth it when I can finally get all those contracts. The Russian Mafia already agreed to an alliance, it’s a small gang but it’s a start. I would need much more support if I want to take Alexandra and Theodore down.” I grumbled.Celine opened her mouth to speak then closed it shut immediately, biting her lips nervously.I furrowed my brows in confusion, “Celine, what is it?.”She avoided eye contact with me and fiddled with her fingers.“Don’t get too mad, okay?.” She smiled nervously.I raised a brow, not understanding what she was on about.She sighed and sat next to me.“Aria came to see Paola, she spent the night”I sprang up angrily. “What!, i made it clear she wasn’t allowe

*One Year Later*Tears welled up in Theodore's eyes as he gently placed the flower on the grave. "It's over, mom," he whispered, his voice trembling. He reached out and intertwined his hands with Aria's, seeking comfort and support."Do you think she's proud of me?" he asked, his voice filled with uncertainty.Aria nodded, her eyes filled with love as she cupped Theodore's cheeks in her hands. “Of course, she is, my love. Despite everything, you came out stronger and a much better man. I'm sure her soul is finally at peace now," she reassured him, offering a warm smile.*** A year had passed since Alexandra died and the Romanos were finally free from their nightmare.They were all happy to have each other in the end, even though they had lost some.They mourned their losses but were also grateful for their blessings over the year.Aria gave birth to the most adorable twins, a precious little boy and a beautiful baby girl. The joy of motherhood overwhelmed her, as she and Theodo

Theodore POV“What sick game are you trying to play right now!.” I glared at Alexandra, even though I was very much weak.The beating I had received from Alexandra men that night had injured me severely and also My attempt to break free from the ropes, had me seriously bleeding out from my wrist, but I could feel it already getting loose.“You are right, it’s a game that will be played on my terms.” She sneered and pulled out a remote detonator.My pulse quickened as my eyes flew wide open in realization.She chuckled at my reaction.“Your guess is correct Theodore.”“It’s a remote detonator and it has a timer. Right now, all of your family is gathered at the Romano mansion, and a bomb has been planted there, just waiting for me to tick it off.” She concluded with a satisfactory smile.“What!.” Aria exclaimed in panic.“Hey!, This wasn’t our agreement. I told you my dad said out of this!.” Evan raged.She clicked her tongue as she shook her head, feigning pity. “Well Evan, I guess yo

Alexandra POVI groaned painfully as the doctor wrapped the bandage around my arm.“Take these prescribed medications and you will be fine.” He advised and walked away.“Who is he? Do you trust him?.” Evan queried.I nodded. “Dr. Ivan has always been my personal doctor, moreover he was blindfolded while coming here.” He sighed and ran his hand through his hair in frustration,“So what now?, the AISE are still on your trail, it won’t be long before they..” “They won’t find me.” I cut him off from his rambling.“How are you so sure?, we might be in a different house, but we are still in Corleone. What are we still doing here when we should be leaving instead!.” He grumbled.“Come with me.” I instructed.I led him into the study and walked towards the bookshelf, pushing it backwards and revealing the stairs leading down to the underground.“an underground?.” He exclaimed in shock.I walked down the stairs and he followed suit.“I bought this place immediately I moved to Corleone, just i

Theodore POVPaola fell asleep on my arms and I placed her gently on her bed, placing a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.“Theodore?.” I turned around to see Hernando, in a very disturbed manner.“What happened?.” I asked worriedly.“I just received a call from Damien and the AISE, Rocco is dead, apparently he self strangled himself this morning.” He informed.“Shit.” I cursed, running my hands through my hair.“I can’t believe he killed himself rather than betray Alexandra.” “He was really loyal to her.” He replied.“It doesn’t matter. We are attacking Alexandra today.” I affirmed through gritted teeth.He nodded in agreement.“The AISE is ready–“He was suddenly cut off by Aria loud shriek.She ran towards me with teary eyes.“Theo!!!.” I caught her in my arms.“Hey, hey!, what’s wrong?.” “Becca.. we can’t find her.” She stuttered, with a trembling voice.“What?.” I mumbled with worry.“I went to her room to check up on her but she wasn’t there, then I called Pancho t

Martina POV“No!.” I trashed my dressing table.My heart welled up with so many emotions- Anger, regret, pain.I remembered everything vividly like I was actually reliving it.Walking into the house that night, to see Dad’s bloody head in a box being carried away by the guards I still didn’t want to believe, even though I looked around and literally saw mom’s broken soul. I still tried to convince myself that it wasn’t him, that my eyes were playing tricks with me.But it was very much true, no matter how many times I blinked and looked back into the box, I still saw it.I just couldn’t get the image of his head in that box out of my head.This was definitely Alexandra. Suddenly, an overwhelming anger filled me, I didn’t care about Aria or even Theodore anymore. All the urge I felt to destroy Aria was now doubled and was now focused on Alexandra instead, now more than ever, I need to make her pay for everything she has done to my family.“Martina.” Aria called softly as she entere

Theodore POV“Hey Princess.” I kissed Aria’s forehead gently stirring her awake.I got home late last night after talking with Damien and she had already slept.Her eyes fluttered open slowly and then widened immediately they met mine.“Theo!, you are back.” She squealed, wrapping her arms around me.“Someone missed me.” I teased with a low chuckle.“Of course I did.” She blushed, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. Then she bit her lips nervously.“So what did you find out?.” She asked as her eyes glinted with curiosity.I sighed tiredly and explained everything Aunt Agatha told us to her.“Oh my.” She gasped in shock as her face clouded with pity.“Alexandra is really broken.” She mumbled.“Yes, but it doesn’t give her the right to hunt innocent people though.” I argued.“Innocent people I dragged into this mess.” I added with a frown, and looked away in guilt.“Hey.” She turned me so I could face her,“You can’t blame yourself for her actions. They had nothing to do with you.

Luciana POV“Thank you.” I said to the movers that brought in my Sofa and closed the door after they left.I finally moved to my apartment in Milan today, after much stalling. I started having second thoughts at the last minute, maybe because of Simon.No matter how much I try, I can’t shake off that kiss from my mind, I couldn’t deny the chemistry between us and It seemed like he couldn’t either.I shook my head, heaving a deep sigh. I might just be imagining that he felt that way.He was so in love with Aria for a long time, it’s not something he could easily get over. Even if he did, I don’t think I could stand a chance, maybe if I wasn’t the granddaughter of his family’s greatest enemy, things would be easier.I fell on the sofa groaning tiredly. It doesn’t matter anyway, I’m here and he’s there, we would never work out, That was the bitter realization and I should get used to it.>I decided to keep myself busy by arranging the apartment, hopefully I get to finish today because

Theodore POVWe finally got to La Morra, it was evening just like Hernando had predicted.Through the address Giovanni gave us, we located Aunt Agatha’s house. It was indeed in a secluded area.I stopped the car and we both got down.Hernando walked over to the backseat to bring out the gift basket we bought for her.“Come on Son.” He beckoned as he walked towards the house.and surprisingly, it didn’t bother me when he called me son, it didn’t repulse me like before. Maybe it’s because of yesterday night.After what happened, I could feel us getting closer and weirdly enough, I loved it.I followed him and we got to the front door. I proceeded to knock but the door creaked open on its own. “Oh.” Hernando shrugged and walked in, I followed suit.We both looked around the house, it did look old, almost falling apart but it felt like it gave her peace.She must really despise her son, if she had to come all the way here from him.“It doesn’t look like we are breaking in right?.” Hernan

Martina POV“Martina?.” Paola called, a smile plastered on her face as she walked towards me. I heaved a deep sigh of relief as I held my chest, I could feel my body moving again.I had such a fright, I thought it was Ma’am Serena.“What are you doing in Ma’am Serena’s room?.” She questioned, tilting her head to the side and twisting her little mouth.“Uh…um, I came to see her, I had a surprise for her.” I lied, stuttering a little.“Surprise?.” She squealed excitedly, I placed my finger over her mouth immediately.“Shh!, you will ruin it.” I chided, the squatted down to her level.“Yes Paola, a surprise, so you can’t tell her I was in here, okay?.” I cajoled gently. she nodded in agreement and then skipped away giddily.I sighed and walked out of the room, closing the door quietly.Now I have to hurry. I rushed towards Hernando’s office, making sure no one was around, I unlocked the door and went in.“Where do I start from now?.” I grumbled, rubbing my chin in confusion.I checked
