Mia's POVIt is a hectic week. The twins and I are moving into Riccardo's house in New York. I did not know he had a house here. I am still angry that Oliver got away and that Riccardo found out about them. I can not blame anyone for that as I know my twins, and I know they worked together to fool Lorena so that Oliver could get away to threaten his father. In a way, I am also relieved that Riccardo knows about them now. I have brought along all the videos I made over the years about the twins. I knew someday Riccardo would learn about them, but I was planning it to be when they were all grown up. So I made videos of every milestone in their young life to show Riccardo one day when he gets to know them. I was not planning on it so soon, but I will show him the videos I made, so he can keep the copies I made for him. I know he is still pissed off at me, but I am glad he is not so mad that he wants to kill me. I have heard about his ruthless behavior and that he does not take prisoners
Third Person's POVMia knows that she and Riccardo need to get to know each other. If they are going to live in one house, they need to get along, and they can not fight in front of the children. She is planning a lovely night for them after dinner with the children. She asks the cooks to make some snacks for them, and she has red wine they will drink tonight. Mia knows she needs to give Riccardo a fair chance. As she is planning everything, the doorbell rings. Mia is close to the door, and she opens the door. Bria walks in as soon as the door opens. She does not even look at the person that opened the door. It took Bria a few days to figure out where Riccardo was staying, but with the help of her friend Amara Costa, they found out where he was staying. Leonardo Costa still has some friends in the Mafia, but Bria and her father think he is still running the Costa family. Leonardo never corrected them. They think Leonardo is the one that turned the Corsta family around and made it so p
Mia's POVI am glad Riccardo and I spent last night together. We had fun and discussed many of our problems, but the twins needed to know that what they did was wrong. I need to teach them that they can not interfere in other people's lives and get away with it. They had no right to lock us up in the room! I am tired as Riccardo, and I did not sleep. Luckily, we do not have to work today. I walk to where Oliver and Olivia sit in the dining room, chatting with their father. Oliver and Olivia know me by now and know I am angry with them. I turn to my men, who are standing beside me. "Take all their electronics for a week! Oliver and Olivia will not need their computer to do homework since they will go to school," I order my men. Oliver does not even fight me because he knows he did wrong, but Olivia takes a chance and starts crying."Are you done crying, young lady? You know your tears do not impress me. You were naughty last night, so no games or computers for a week," I say. Olivia t
Third Person's POV Mia looks at the shocked faces of her family. Amara looks at Mia with hate in her eyes. She knows her Hollywood career is finished and that she only got parts because she was seeing a director that was helping her to get roles in movies. She knows no one sees her as an A-list actress. Lorenzo got in so much trouble in the last couple of years and is known as a troublemaker in Hollywood. No one wants to give him any more roles. He was involved in a lot of scandals and abused drugs and alcohol. He trashed hotel rooms, and his girlfriends accused him of being aggressive when drunk or high. Besides, her mother and father could never work with money, and making them their agents was not the best idea. She, her brother, and her parents are bankrupt, and now Mia is kicking them out of their house. "You can not kick us out of our house! Who do you think you are?" Arriana, Mia's mother, shouts at her. "The house was bought with the Casta family money, and you signed ever
Mia's POVI can not believe my family came here and thought they could take over the business I have worked so hard for. Who does my father think he is? He never made a success of anything. I am worried they will find out about Oliver and Olivia, try to kidnap them and use them against me to get the family business back. I also do not like Don Parisi and his family. I know the old Don is greedy, and he wants the godfather position that Riccardo is holding. He must also be furious that Riccardo kicked out his daughter after eight years of keeping her on the line. I am expecting Don Parisi to call a meeting of the Dons to try and overthrow Riccardo as the Godfather. Riccardo comes walking into my office. I can see he is still upset with my family. I know he wants me to kill them, but I do not want to until I have a real reason to kill them. Besides, I want them to suffer like I had to. They have not done an honest day's work in their lives. It is time they start learning to work and se
Bria's POVI can not believe my stupid father fell into the trap of that bitch, Mia! I believe it is all her idea! She knew I was a threat to her and Riccardo. Riccardo loves me! He would not keep me on the line for eight years only to marry me off to stupid Lorenzo. We will be living in the City of Ceder Falls. It is a boring city with not so many people. I will not be able even to continue my modeling career or acting, although I know it is over. My father is pissed off at Leonardo Costa for lying to him, but at the moment, the Costa family is under the protection of Mia Costa, so my father can not touch them without putting us all in danger. What the hell are we going to do in Ceder Falls? I can not believe I am married to a man I do not love. It is the second time in my life that this has happened. At least the first time, I married for money. Lorenzo Costa is a loser. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol and had a lot of scandals in Hollywood. He was a great actor, but he had th
Bria's POVI am no fan of Mia Costa, but I realize I do not love Riccardo Marino. I only wanted him because I could not get him, and my father kept pushing him down my throat. If I married him, my father would have killed him or made him hand him the Godfather title using me. My father is very ambitious and has always wanted to become the Godfather. However, he is also a coward and will never fight the Godfather for the position, unlike Riccardo, who went to face the Godfather because he was misusing his powers and steering the Italian Mafia in the wrong direction. Riccardo fought the previous Godfather to get the title, and the Italian Mafia's Dons respect him. My father has lost the last respect the Dons had for him tonight with the stunt he tried to pull, and going after children will earn him more disrespect, but I know my father, once he puts his mind to something, there is nothing and no one that will change his mind. He will get himself killed if he does not get his whole famil
Mia's POVMy men tell me that my parents have moved out of the house. I am glad because I want to demolish that house with so many bad memories. I will look at it one last time to remember why I will never mistreat any of my children. I drive to the old house and walk through it. I see my old room is still intact and that my parents did not take anything of mine with them. I smile because I do not care. I tell my men to remove the rubbish and give it to poor people that may need it. I will never need any of the things in my old room again. I hear someone walking into the old empty house, and I hide to ensure they do not hear or see me. My men have removed the old stuff from my room and are not around. I have my gun with me and will not hesitate to use it. My car is parked in front of the old house, and I know someone may think I am an easy target and come after me. "Mia! Are you here?" I hear Lorenzo call out for me, and I know he will do me no harm because he would have snuck up on
