After being discharged from the hospital she went back to their 'home' and packed all of her things, went to the bank and withdrew all the money from her account and booked the next flight from Italy to the UK. Going back to their home, she made sure to erase all traces of her identity and any pictures she had of herself and the man she thought she was in love with; it was lucky that Angelo didn't allow her to have any friends, but it meant that nobody would care, or even notice that she was about to disappear.

Before she could 'disappear' she had to make it out that she died in the hospital from complications during her childbirth, that's when she could leave, if he cared, he would at least plan a funeral... wouldn't he? Of course not, as soon as she got onto the plane, she connected to the Wi-Fi and saw that he tweeted a picture of him and a girl with the caption 'LOML❤️'; she couldn't even find it in herself to be upset, she knew all about him cheating and about this girl, Charisse.

Her flight landed within a couple of hours, arriving at night, she stayed at a cheap hotel before she could move in to her apartment, there was just a few things she had to sort out first. Her new identity, for some reason she was drawn to the name Marielle, so that's what she chose, Marielle Summers; all the necessary documents were printed and forged.

Over the course of a week; she bought a new car as a gift to herself, a Vauxhall Adam, with all black paint and rims, an apartment on the top floor, and moved her very own mafia from Italy to the UK. See, Angelo was the so called leader of a not so known gang called the "Fantasmi" meaning ghosts in Italian; she had taken control over Fantasmi since Angelo's mother found out that she was pregnant she said that she would have to learn how to take control since she could no longer rely on Angelo's older brother died.

<<Flashback>>

"Il mio fiore you need to learn how to be the capo of the Fantasmi, you know Angelo is no good, plus my grand baby needs to learn from the best, which is me, but you're going to learn from me, so second best" (my flower) she laughed as she held her hand.

"I know signorina Ricci, let me go get a pen and paper" she said as she got up, supporting her pregnant belly.

"Senza senso!" Angelo's mother said as she pulled her back down, "You're a smart girl, I know after your accident you feel like your memory isn't as good as it was before, but you'll remember this, trust me" Miss Ricci proclaimed.

<<Flashback Over>>

"Ah capo, we've missed you" Mateo said as he engulfed her in a bone crushing hug.

"I've missed you too Mateo, we need to get down to business though" she said picking up his carry-on and taking it to her car. She drove him to her house and waited for more of her gang to arrive, it felt weird to say it... her gang, she wasn't going to be like other capos, she was going to be cleaner, and definitely not a murderer.

"So where's my nephew, I'm ready to be the best uncle eve!" He said with his cute Italian accent, but as soon as he saw the look on her face, he started to regret every mentioning the baby.

"Mateo... he died during the surgery" she said, trying not to let the tears slip, she remembered the words Angelo's mother told her "find strength through the pain" obviously she said it in Italian but it was easier for her to say it in English since Italian was her second language, she had no idea how she knew Italian but when Miss Ricci spoke it, she knew exactly what she was saying.

Mateo watched her face turn blank, void of any emotion, it was almost haunting, but the least he could say was that she was becoming an amazing capo.

"I'm sorry miele, I'm here for you if you need to talk, I'm your second hand after all" he said trying to sound upbeat.

"I know, I'll be fine, it's okay, let's wait for the rest of the gang to get here, then we can get down to business" she said staring up at the ceiling. At least she wasn't alone.
