-Part forty five-

"Why would I get hurt?" I ask confused

"Your in the mafia and I assume when you came home and we're all bruised and cut...that it was because of the mafia, I don't want you getting hurt Enzo I love you too much to lose you" she whispers with her voice shaking

My heart aches

Originally when she found out about the mafia I thought she would run far away and get pissed but the girl is worried about me instead

Especially after she went through worse with her parents...she is worried about a few scratches I might get...it makes no sense

"Yeah that was because of the mafia but you don't have to worry la Mia Regina, plus I'm slowly trying to distance myself from the mafia" I hold her close to me (my queen )

"You're important to me Enzo...so important and I don't want the possibility of something bad happening to you, that scares me" she whispers against my neck

"You don't have to worry, I promise and the only reason I got hurt that one time was because I stupidly didn't call backup before going into the warehouse...and I usually don't do mission type things in the mafia I do more paperwork and shipments and private matters," I said stroking her hair

After her calming down a little I decide to ask her something that's been on my mind since the conversation in the kitchen

"How do you feel about your parents being gone soon?" I whisper

"Weird...I mean I should be more upset about the thought of them getting killed but I'm more pissed that I didn't tell you sooner" she sighs and kisses my neck

"It's not weird for you to want the people who hurt you, gone sweetheart," I tell her

"Yeah I guess, do you think they hurt others the way they hurt me?" Her voice starts to shake while she speaks

I feel as though the answer is yes from how cruel they are and from how they always volunteered to go on killing missions but I don't want to stress her out right now

"I'm not sure, but don't worry they won't be able to hurt anyone soon" I whisper

She picks her head up from my neck and cups my cheeks

"You know that day you came into the cafe to find Mia?" She whispers against my lips

I hum in response

"That was the 5 anniversary of when I left my parents" she smiles

She tells me a little more about the things I have done to help her and when she gets to the topic of how I changed the color of our house she starts crying

When I changed it I didn't realize the big reason behind her fear of it, but now I'm glad I did it even more

"You came into my life the same day I was finally free, and somehow you ended up saving me even more, even with being free I still had nightmares and was terrified of life...but with you in my life I had fewer nightmares from just thinking about you" she says quietly

"You saved me" she whispers

And she manages to somehow make me love her even more, it's so important for me to be a rock to her someone she can trust, and go to whenever she needs, someone to help through tough times and someone that will love her unconditionally

And I do love her unconditionally and I feel a sense of happiness that she thinks I saved her, but she is so strong I think she would've been able to save herself on her own time

She then kisses me and it's filled with so much love and appreciation

She breaks apart and grins "you are like my Prince Charming saving me from the evil parents, or maybe I should say mother Gothel" she laughs
