Damian's pov Thursday 23rd December 2021*************************************It's Vincent's trial today. They said he had to plead not guilty and he'd get out today but I'm still worried they will take him back for longer. It's in the late afternoon so I've been stressed all day. It's been so strange to sleep in our bed alone. I keep waking up and feeling around in the bed for him then getting upset when I realise he isn't here. We've all missed him in the mansion, it doesn't feel the same without him bossing people around or joking with Luca. I don't know how he will be when he gets home. After being raped by a guard I've noticed he seems more closed off when I go to visit. He wouldn't tell me much about what was going on inside and he seemed to be putting on fake smiles. Right now I'm putting a suit on so I can look nice for the trail. I put a tie on and look at myself in the mirror for a moment, taking a deep breath to get ready to see my boyfriend properly. Marcus, Nathan, a
Vincent's pov Wednesday 29th December 2021**************************************I'm so happy to be home but I haven't been able to enjoy it yet because I'm so busy. I was even working on Christmas which Damian was really angry at me for, we didn't speak all day because he was punishing me. He went to Marcus' place for the day as I sulked and worked. It's been difficult getting everything back on track after I was gone for two months and Damian just doesn't understand that. We haven't had sex since I got back either. It's not because of the rape, that doesn't bother me very much although I did have a nightmare about it. Damian doesn't know about that though, I told him it was just a dream and he let it go. We haven't had sex because I come to bed late and he's already asleep when I get in. Our relationship has been strained since I broke down crying on his lap and I know it's my fault. Emilio sat me down the other day and told me I have to step up so I went to the doctors and got
Vincent's povTuesday 4th January 2022*********************************I'm going to visit Domino today with Damian. It's the first time they're meeting and I really want it to go well. We're going to tell him about our engagement then my lawyer Frankie will help Domino appeal his case. When we were inside together he always said he wanted to appeal the case because it could be seen in self defence but he didn't have the money or a good enough lawyer. "Why didn't you mention he's a murderer?" Damian whisper yells as we walk into the prison. "It was not important," I shrug and he sighs dramatically. "Yes it is important," he argues back."He did it on someone who deserved it, just like me. So you should be fine with him," I say as I cross my arms across my chest. "Fine, I'm okay with him. Let's go," he says and we go through the metal detectors which go off for me. I stand with my arms spread as a guard pats me down for anything dangerous. I didn't bring anything this time so he d
Vincent's povSunday 12th June 2022********************************I'm getting married in two days! My ma decided she's not coming. We went to go see her in Italy and she apologised for Antonio's behaviour but said she wants nothing to do with me. I took it pretty hard but I still went to Antonio's grave. Me and Damian were there for an hour as I ranted and cried about everything he did to me. It felt good though, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest. And I got a weekend in Italy with my fiancé where we had lots of sex and I showed him around where I grew up. We're going to go back there for our honeymoon.I think I've solved Enzo's issue. He came to me complaining about George's colleagues who were out to get Enzo for "corrupting" George. I went to the main cop who was causing issues and gave him a broken finger and a warning to leave my family alone. Enzo said he's had no more issues with him so hopefully it worked. Yesterday was my official bachelor party with my f
Damian's pov Tuesday 14th June 2022*******************************I'm getting married today. It's actually happening. Fuck I'm nervous. I'm stood at the alter now with Marcus by my side as we wait for Vinny to be walked down the isle. I was worried when he first said he wanted to get married in Italy because there's a lot of other mafia families who aren't happy about him being gay but it's alright. They all left us alone when Vinny sent out threats. The venue is gorgeous, it's right by the coast outside a hotel that specialises in weddings. There's an outside courtyard that has a view of the ocean where all the seats are set up. When the ceremony is over the staff will set the same area up for the meal, and for the log cutting. Vinny was very serious when he said he wanted us to do an Italian tradition where the couple cuts a log in half with a double sided saw. I thought it was strange but I'd do anything to make him happy. "Are you okay?" Marcus asks from beside me. "I'm ne
Vincent's pov Thursday 30th June 2022**********************************"Your knee is digging into my thigh," Damian groans as he wakes up. I move my leg from where I had it across his body and roll over onto my back. "You didn't have to stop cuddling me.""I have to get up now anyways," I say and kiss his cheek before I slip out of bed and watch as Damian sits up with a yawn. I go into the bathroom and start the shower as I get my toothbrush. Damian joins me as I'm brushing my teeth and stands in front of the toilet to pee which makes me raise an eyebrow at him."I am trying to brush my teeth and you are peeing?" I ask as toothpaste drips a little. He rolls my eyes and finishes peeing then wraps his arms around my waist and hugs me from behind as I spit into the sink and wash my face. "You're too cute. You're like a housewife," he says and I turn around quickly. "Cosa?" I demand. "Wait no. I didn't mean that. I just mean now we're married you care about me peeing next to you whe
Vincent's pov Monday 4th July 2022******************************It's Enzo's funeral today. Everyone is a mess. Giovanni refused to leave his room all weekend, we had to bring him something to eat and drink but he wouldn't touch them. Thankfully Martina and Stefano flew back from Italy yesterday and got Gio to eat something. Having his parents here has really helped Gio deal with his grief. Stefano apologised to me because he couldn't apologise to Enzo for being so homophobic. We've forgiven him because Enzo would have, he loved his papà. Even Emilio cried, and I've never seen him do that before. Him and Martina sorted the funeral for today because George was too much of a wreck to be helpful. He's been staying at the mansion because I didn't want him to be alone, although these past three days I've been angry at him. Damian helped me realise I'm not angry at him, I'm angry at the people who killed Enzo so this morning before the funeral I'm going to have to apologise.I look at m
Vincent's pov Tuesday 30th June 2026*****************************Four years ago today, Lorenzo passed away. His parents moved to Italy for good but Giovanni stayed and helped me take back the business. Turns out Gio is stronger than us all and makes an amazing second in command. Enzo is missed everyday, but life has to go on. A lot has changed. George's funeral happened a couple of days after Enzo's. He was buried right next to Enzo with a matching headstone. It was a very difficult day, I felt so fucking guilty about it all. I go to see Orion every month to help me deal with it because Damian wanted me too. I'm getting somewhere with it, but it'll always be at the back of my mind. Damian is an amazing help, whenever I feel like shit he's always there to cuddle me and make me feel better.I decided to stay as Cappo. I couldn't abandon my family like that. I took full control and now we rarely have any issues because I built up my reputation. Domino also lives with us now. Last ye
George's Pov *********************Am I dead? I should be dead. I shot myself in the head. Why can I feel sand? I open my eyes and wince when it's really bright around me. I blink a few times then slowly sit up. I use my hands to lift myself up and feel sand again. I look around and frown when I realise I'm on a beach. Is this... heaven? I should be in hell if I'm being honest. I look around more as I stand up and stop when I see a house on the beach. It looks exactly like the one me and Lorenzo were looking at before he... you know. The front door opens and a dog bounds out and runs into the ocean. A black Labrador, Enzo's favourite dog. My heart almost stops when I see him walk out of the door after the dog. He has a huge smile on his face and is only wearing summer shorts. He turns and looks at me with a shocked face. He's quite far away from me, but we both start running to get to each other. "George?" Enzo shouts as he gets closer. I start laughing as we both collide an
