Dante's POV"Emma? What are you doing here?" I ask. I look at her, but she is not the same woman I remember. She's older and everything about her looks fake. The only thing I recognize is a smile. I will always remember enough smile, but the woman standing in front of me has Emma smile, but it is not Emma. She's not the young, beautiful woman I remember."Dante, my love, I went through hell and back. I will tell you all about it. You do not mind me borrowing Dante for a while... hmmm.... sorry I am not good with names," Emma says to Leandra. I turn to Leandra and I see the lost look on her face. I know she does not like to be alone among the wealthy and famous as she will call the people here. "Sorry, Emma, but Leandra is my priority. You know her name do not be rude," I say. I cannot be rude to Emma we grew up together, and I know that she is very sensitive. Right through high school, we were high school sweethearts. Everybody knew that we were a couple. Nobody even asked any questio
Emma's POV"Why are you so nasty with me? I was just looking out for you. I don't want you to be involved with somebody like her. She is not used to having money. She basically grew up on the street. She was a waitress until she started working for your mother. Why can't you see she is a gold-digger? Her previous boyfriend was nothing but a street thug. She's not even that pretty. I do not know what you see in her. You are as pathetic as she is if you love her. However, I do not believe that you love her. You heard I am back in town, and now you are trying to protect yourself against me. It is not going to work, Dante. You cannot hide from true love. You know, we are meant for each other. We have always been together. I made a mistake, but I am willing to rectify it. Stop pretending that you love this woman. We both know that you do not love her. You love me. You will always love me," I say.I do not believe for one moment that Dante is in love with this little whore. She's not even wo
Leandra's POV"Dante! How dare you want a street whore over me? She does not even know who her parents are! She is a nobody who only wants your money! What happened between Martin and me has nothing to do with you. He took my child away from me! He did it because he had money and I had nothing," Emma turns on the crocodile tears again. I had enough!"I cannot blame your ex-husband for taking away the child from you with a mouth like yours. I would not be surprised if you never see your child again. I know Dante cannot do anything about you right now because we are in the middle of a big party. Our engagement party. However, if you open your mouth one more time and call me a street whore, I am going to slap the living hell out of you. Everybody is listening to you. Everybody can see how desperate you are for a man. Not only are you embarrassing all of us, but you were also an embarrassment to all women all over the world. No woman with a little self-respect will go on like you," I say.
Tony's POV"So, our friend, Dante Angelo, got engaged to the little orphan who saved his life. That is very interesting. Find out everything you can about her. I want to know everything about her. I want to know what your name is. I want to know where she works. I want to know everything about her. I was not invited to the engagement party like the rest of the Dons. I see that as a slapping my face. You say that Emma made a scene. In all of Emma. I believe that we may have a friend in Emma. He wants to break them up. I want to see Dante miserable. You say he stood up for the little orphan? It looks like Dante is in love. He will never go against Emma. I always thought that Emma was the love of his life. I was wrong. I believe Dante found his soft spot. I could not even go to the engagement party, even if I was invited. The little orphan saved his life and made me go into hiding," I say to Enzo. Enzo has been my friend and second-in-command for a while. We are great friends, and I kno
Third person's POVWhile everybody is up in arms about the new couple in town they are oblivious about what is going on. They are having the time of their life, trying to stay away from the angry women, while enjoying a wonderful meal with the rest of the guests. Carlos and his men are like a shield between the couple and the angry woman. They do not want the throw the angry women out and make a scene. Leandra got to go to the bathroom, while Carlos and his men kept the women at bay. However, everybody is posting about the engagement party on social media. Everybody is writing about the scene Emma made. "I am furious at Dante. He played all of us, and then he took a street cat and is ready to marry her! I did not even know that she was an old friend and was living off the streets. Can you imagine a man like Dante marrying someone like her? She was only a waitress. Can you believe she started working for his mother and now they are engaged? Like Emma Walters said she is nothing but a
Dante's POVI cannot believe she's kissing me back. She must have seen the flash of the camera. I'm glad she did because I want someone to take our side in this whole scenario. People must know that we are in love or rather think so. Damn, this kiss is getting too hot. I really need to start wearing underwear around Leandra. This woman is unpredictable and hot as hell. As much as I love to be around her, I know that she is dangerous to my health. Ever heard about blue balls? Well, I may get some. I need a cold shower and we need to get inside. We need a plan of action to take out Emma. I'm not going to kill her, but I want to be like sure that everybody knows who and what she is. Perhaps I should get hold of her ex-husband. Maybe it's time for him to tell the world the truth about her. Leandra lets go of me as if I have an incurable illness."I think the cameraman is gone, and you need to start wearing underwear. Why is Don Capone always standing on attention? Does he not know how to
Third person's POVThe woman is sitting with her cell phone in her hand, looking at the fight on the Internet between Emma Walters and a girl called, Leandra Smith. However, her eyes stayed locked on the girl called, Leandra. Leandra looks like the woman staring at her photo. "Can it be? Can it be her? How long has it been? Twenty-three years?" The woman wonders. She cannot say anything to her husband. He gets angry at her for holding out hope. Her husband thinks that their daughter died the day that she was kidnapped. She still believes her daughter is alive. "Rico, get me the DNA of this girl and do not tell my husband," The woman says to a young man standing close to her. "Wow, she looks just like you, Donna," Rico says. The woman smiles sadly, she's not going to put her hope on anything."I can only hope, Rico. Do you know Don Dante?" She asks. "Yes, I know him very well. Used to be a womanizer, but it looks like you have changed. It will be easy for me to get her DNA. All I n
Third person's POVLeandra is still rubbing her head. Rico smiles and hides the hair in his hand by putting his hand in his pocket. Leandra glares at him. She does not care who he is. He can he the godfather himself for all she cares. It is rude to walk into somebody and grab them by the hair. Seriously, cannot tell her that he couldn't crab her by her arm or something. Her head is hurting. Dante looks like he wants to laugh as Rico has a stupid smile on his face. Dante knows Rico. The poor guy is very clumsy which is why Don Romani lets Rico stay with Donna Romani. Don Romani has been the godfather in America for a long time. Everybody knows that they lost their daughter to somebody who kidnapped her. Everyone also knows that the Donna investigates almost every woman who might slightly look like her. Rico used to be very good, but as he gets older, he's getting clumsier. Is Rico here on a mission for his Donna? "Leandra looks a lot like the beautiful Donna Romani," Dante says. He lo
Isabella's POVDante is holding me, and I'm still shivering, looking at the body on the deck. This is worse than I thought it would be. I did not expect it to be this bad. I knew she deserved it, but I still feel like I want to vomit. I see them dragging her body to the side of the yacht. The smell of blood and the smoke of the gun are still in the air. Tony has fallen to his knees. Zeta helps him up and takes him away. I see him throwing Amelia's body over the side of the boat. I want to see. Dante is trying to hold me back, but I walked to the side of the yacht, followed by him. I see the shark fins as they frenziedly start to feed on her body. Her body gets torn apart. There is a spotlight in the ocean shining from the yacht. They want to make sure that all the evidence is gone. Dante pulls me back into his arms. He is concerned about me."Come, baby, it is enough for one night. Let's go to the deck. The cleaning-up crew is going to start cleaning up now. There is nothing more for
Dante's POVI can feel the tension in the air. Amelia looked at Tony with equal hate in her eyes as the hate in Tony's eyes for her. Well, this has come full circle. Tony has always tried to get his parents' attention. They did not give him any attention or the love he craved, but he still loved them. They were not always that bad towards him. Before Amelia, I was born. He was their crown prince. His mother lost her mind when Amelia was born because she had always wanted a little girl. She lost all interest in her son. I always felt bad for Tony. He used to be the centre of his parents' attention, and then Amelia came along. "I want to kill her. I want to be the one who puts the bullet in her head. She killed my parents. She has no heart. They loved you. That is all they ever did. They pushed me aside for you. And what did you do? You thanked them by killing them. What kind of person are you? The godfather is right. You only think about yourself. You do not care about anybody else. Y
Isabella's POVI was sure I was ready for this until they brought out Amelia. Amelia is standing before us, very confident in herself. Does this woman not realise that she's going to die in a few minutes? She believes she is untouchable. I do not think it is her mistake. It was apparent because she was spoiled since she was a child. Can't the godfather, or godmother, have mercy? I do not know what to think or what to do. Does she deserve to die? Well, I guess she does. She did try to kill my mother and me. Well, actually, she was only trying to kill me. But in the process, she shot my mother. "Amelia Brasco, do you have any last words? You know what? Normally, we torture the people that we kill. But then we want something from them. In your case, we don't want to know anything about you, or we don't want any information from you. Since she grew up in front of me, I will be merciful, and I will shoot you. It will be a quick day. You are accused of wanting to kill my daughter and shoot
Tony's POVI walked into the place where they are holding Amelia. It does not look like Amelia realises what big trouble she is getting into. She does not realise that she's going to die. She's not living in reality. She thinks everybody always likes her and wants to pamper her like my parents used to do. She thinks this is a game. Amelia had this smirk on her face. She does not realise the crime for which she is responsible. She doesn't realise that she will have to face the consequences of her actions. "I came to say goodbye, Amelia. You do realise this is your last few moments on Earth, right? I can't believe that you were so irresponsible as to shoot the godfather's wife, and then go after his daughter. What were you thinking? You are going to die tonight for what you have done. I have tried to protect you against yourself for a very long time, but I can't do it anymore this time. I cannot get you out of this trouble," I say."Oh, Tony, I never needed you. I never loved you. I ha
Dante's POVWe walk into the little Italian restaurant for the second time that night. Don Bellini comes walking to us immediately. He looks confused about our return. I know I will have to explain everything to him. Don Bellini has seen Tony and me grow up in front of him. I know he has a lot of compassion for us. He knows our fathers and how important it is for us to have friends like him. He knows everything about us and knows that Tony only has Amelia left, well, not for long. I quickly explain to him why we are here and that we will need Zeta tonight. "Of course, I am going to call Zeta. She is busy baking cakes, you know how she is. She loves to stay in the kitchen all the time. She is a lot like her mother. She won't use anything but the family in recipes. But I am coming back right now. I know you are in a hurry and there is no time for talk," Don Bellini says. It does not take long for Zeta to join us. Her father has explained everything to her, and she is ready to go. She i
Isabella's POV"Dante, can we make one more stop before we go?" I ask. "Where do you want to stop now?" Dante asks. "You know, it is going to be very hard on Tony to see his sister die. There's only one person who can help him get over it. I promise to have tea with her tomorrow, but I can't make it. We have to pick up Zeta. She knows everything about the Italian Mafia, and she knows how it feels to kill somebody, I guess. She was raised in the Italian Mafia, and although her father is now running a restaurant, he is still a Don," I say. "I never thought about it. Of course, Zeta can help Tony. They have known each other for a long time. It is a great idea to bring Zeta along. Amelia is on her way to the yacht, and our fathers are on their way there. So we might as well make one stop. It will not take that long, and Zeta will come with us. I will ask your father if he will allow her to come. I don't think he will have a problem. Don Bellini is a great guy," Dante says. "Well then,
Dante's POVIt does not take as long to get home. I wish we were alone tonight. However, my parents and her parents are staying with us tonight because her mother is still recovering. It was better to bring her here, where she could see her daughter after Isabella was kidnapped and almost killed by Amelia. My house is big, and it does not bother us. We have enough space for them. But I feel that I have to respect the godfather and not sleep with his daughter before we get married. Well, at least not while he is still in my house. I have known him for a long time and have always respected Don Romani. I am not going to disrespect him now by sleeping with his daughter while he is in the house, and I am not married to her. It is just a kind of respect we have in the Italian Mafia for our godfather."We are home, darling. I enjoyed tonight. I wish we were alone. However, we are not alone, and I do not want to afford to think that I am taking advantage of you. I will miss you tonight, but I
Isabella's POVWow, I can't believe everything is happening so fast. I see Tommy and Mary walking in as Dante and I sit at the table, still talking and trying to figure out our feelings for each other. Dante looked in the direction I was. I don't know how Tommy got invited to this restaurant. It is way too classy for him or Mary. I look at them as Don Bellini walks over and talks to them. He takes them to a table in the back of the restaurant as if he is ashamed of them. As soon as he walked past our table, Dante called him."What are those to do in your restaurant? I thought your restaurant was classy. I know those two, and they are not in the same clothes as your other customers, Don Bellini," Dante asks. "I know, but Mary is my wife's niece, so I cannot show them away without causing trouble in the family. Why do you think I put them near the back door and the trash cans? So I can throw them out if they make trouble," Don Bellini says. "Tell me if you need help. I have dealt with
Isabella's POVI like Zeta. Of course, I will have tea and cake with her tomorrow, I assured her before she walked away. We are sitting at our table alone. I look around the little place. It is comfortable and a lovely setting. The wine is good, and the food smells delicious. We have put in our order. I love pasta. Dante recommended a pasta dish for me. I look at him and see the softness in his eyes for the first time. Dante is not somebody who shows emotion. I hardly see him laugh, unless he is with me, and making fun of me. The first time I wondered how his life is. Is it easy to be a Don in the Italian Mafia? I do not believe it can be easy. I know he had to kill Amelia, but she grew up in front of him. How must it feel? I don't mind. I'm on that bitch dead! I know I say it now. I don't know what it feels like to kill somebody, but I guess I will find out too, because I will have to start to learn if I'm going to be his Donna. Apparently, that is happening on Saturday. "What was y
