Mia's POVWell, it looks like Bria is getting what she wished for. Steven is divorcing her, and he offers to buy her a house. Of course, the house is next to Riccardo's house. I bet she paid a lot for the house, but honestly, I do not care. I have problems of my own. I need to get back to New York as soon as possible as my new game has a great response, and I need to help my team sort out the last little problems. The last few months have been hectic since Riccardo, and I spend the night together. Our drunken night of passion, as I call it. I am not feeling well and have been vomiting for the last few days. I think I have s stomach bug or something, but it gets better during the day. As long as I do not smell meat cooking, I am fine. I am paying my last debt installment this month and can not wait to regain my freedom. Riccardo and Bria have been hanging out lately, not in public but at his house, and it upsets me. Yes, I love Riccardo, but I will never tell or let him find out how I
Riccardo's POV I am sitting in my office looking at the letter and the receipts. How did this happen without my knowing? Was I so busy with my revenge on Bria that I lost Mia because I was not paying attention to her? My men called me from the airport saying they needed to buy tickets to France since Mia was about to board a plane to France. I can not believe she will go overseas and something is off. They take a photo of Mia with her luggage, waiting for the plane to France. I know the sunglasses and handbag, as I was with her when so bought them, but I know instantly it is not Mia. I know Mia will not wear sunglasses inside a building. I also know Mia's body, and that is not Mia! I call my men, and I am furious that they do not know that the woman with Mia's handbag and glasses is not Mia. I call Mia's bodyguard and Enzo Valentino. He is the son of my bookkeeper. I am furious that they did not tell me Mia is paying off her debt. I know I am being unreasonable, but it hurts that
Mia's POV I am back in New York, and feel free. I am not moving into the house my parents and siblings are staying in. I have two reasons for that. I hate that house as I only have bad memories of that house, and two is Riccardo, and his men will look for me there. I have enough money to buy an apartment, but I have decided to rent one first. I ensure the condo I rent has nothing to do with the Mafia. I rent the apartment in the name of one of the girls working with me. I do not want Riccardo and his men to find me. My team runs the family business, and I do not need to go to those offices. I will avoid them whenever I can. Besides, Lucia, the servant I met on the first day I was at Riccardo's house, tells me everything he and his men does. Aria, Sienna, and I keep in contact as I have become friends with them. They are angry at Riccardo because he is involved with Bria again. Aria and Sienna have moved to New York, but I did not tell them I am also here. Sienna does not want to st
Mia's POVAria and Sienna do not want me to stay alone in my apartment. They know I am about to give birth. I am big, and I suffer from back pains. It is not easy to move around. I am glad to have the two women with me as I know they will help me to protect the babies and not let Riccardo find out about them. I do not want Bria to be their stepmother and care for them. It was late one night when I started getting pains. At first, I thought it was a false alarm, but the pain intensified. I know I have to call Aria and Sienna. I need to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Sienna and Aria come running into my room as soon as I call them. They grab my bags and those of the babies, and we go to the hospital. That night at around twelve, the twins are born. It is a boy and a girl, and I called them Oliver and Olivia. Oliver was born a few minutes before Olivia. I was young and stupid and had no clue how to raise babies, but Sienna and Aria were there for me, and today, I can only look
Riccardo's POVI have not seen Mia in almost eight years. It was long years without her. I know I love her, but I am not sure she feels the same about me. I had been looking for her, but it was as if she had disappeared off the face of the earth. I did not know where Mia was or what she was doing. I did keep an eye on the Costa family, though. Not only the Mafia part of the family but also the father, mother, and siblings. I can not help but not like her parents and siblings. In the last seven years, they did not ask about Mia or even look for her. Bria stayed by my side even though I did not touch her since Mia left. She still hopes I will ask her to marry me, but I will not. I think I kept his on the line for long enough and will set her free. She has offered up enough of her youth chasing after me. I do not know why she is still trying, as I do not even give her hope that I will ask her to marry me. I did not have sex since Mia. I sound like a bloody monk, but I do not care. All I
Mia's POVI am spending the night at home with my children. We will watch the Lion King for the hundredth time, but I look at Oliver and Olivia, looking distracted. Aria was here earlier, and we were talking in my office, and the twins were busy somewhere else in the house. I think about what she said to me. "So my mother and I went to see Ricci. He says he loves you and will make you his wife. He does not know about the twins, but I am afraid he will be pissed off at all of us if he finds out. Bria ran out of his apartment earlier, and Mario told me Ricci told her to piss off and get the fuck out of his room," Aria said. "Well, we can not let him find out about the twins, and he will kill us. You know how Riccardo is, and Riccardo Marino does not take prisoners. He asked me on a date, and I had to say yes. I do not want him to come to my house and see the twins," I said. I looked at the door and could swear I saw a little face peeking at us, but when I walked to the door and looked
Riccardo's POVI am pissed off. I walk with my twins to the car. How can Mia and my family keep this secret from me? I have missed out on years with my children. I will not miss one more year without them. Mia is a good mother, as I can see how the children protect her. What if something happened to them? What if my enemies found out about my children and kidnapped them or, even worst, killed them to get to me? Being the Godfather is a dangerous job. I load the children into my car and wait for Mia to arrive. My children are seven, and I have not even spent one day with them! How did she hide them for so long? Oh, Mia, you can be glad I love you so much, or I would have killed you for doing this to the children and me. It is also unfair for the children not to know their father and be held hostage in a house for so long. "Daddy, are you angry?" Olivia asks where we sit in the back of the car. Mia gets in, and I glare at her. "Not at you, princess," I say. Mia can not look at me and
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
