Infinity

Chapter 67 - Soulmates

Adrianna POV

I hold my daughter in my arms and my tears pour out and I have no words. My baby went through so much these past years since I've been gone.

My father's sick fucking men touched my daughter and I tried everything I could to stop it.

She went through a miscarriage for God's sake. She told me everything. Vincenzo rescuing her, her drug and alcohol addiction, her
nightmares.

She was only fifteen.

My poor baby. "I'm so sorry, Jasmine. You didn't deserve any of this." I sob as I hold her hand.

"It's ok mamma." She smiles weakly. "All that matters is that you're here now." We both laugh.

"I thought I heard some laughter." Alessandro walks through the doors. "You've been crying." He sits beside me and kisses my cheek and holds me to his side.

"I was telling mom about everything." Jasmine tells her father.

"You took good care of our babies." I smile.

"Of course I did." He says smugly and kisses me.

"Okay! I didn't sit out here to see this." Jasmine covers her face with her hands.

"Adrianna, did our daughter tell you about Vincenzo?" Sandro wiggles his brows and laughs.

"We were just about to get on to that, before you interrupted." I elbow him.

"Oh god ok. Well we met on some mission about four years ago and we almost killed each other, but we didn't know each other at all. Then papa brought us all to Italy, then we met again. Papa did not tell me who he was." She narrows her eyes at her father. She continues to go on about the masquerade ball in Italy, the shooting and how they were stranded under a bridge and she had to bring him back to life. They had their first kiss at Aurora's wedding, which was before she got kidnapped again, all because of my sister. "Vincenzo saved me again, when I got kidnapped. And I remember when he held me in his arms, it was the safest I had ever felt. At that moment I didn't hate him, I just wanted to stay in those arms forever." Jasmine smiles and stares down at her lap and I squeeze her hand. A tear slips from my eye.

"He was an asshole because he did not come and see me for at least two months, because he was scared of hurting me again, but the truth is I hurt him because I ran away from him and my feelings. Then the night when Andrea threw a party for my recovery, I saw him." She smiles again. My baby is in love! "He confessed his feelings and so did I, even though I wasn't brave enough to admit it. At one point, Vincenzo's father told him to stay away from me and he did, and that broke my heart. But when his father shot him and he almost died, I realised that I should've stayed away. Before we came back to life, I told him I loved him, and then magically and in a very cliche manner, he woke up!" She laughs and a smile creeps on my face as I see her happiness shine through. "After two months, I think. His father came back and apologised and gave Vincenzo his throne."

"He's Capo now?" I question.

"Yeah."

"Wow."

"On his first day as King, he decided to take me on 'vacation' to the lake house he bought just for us. He set everything up, mamma! A candlelit dinner and he played the piano for me and then... he told how much he loves me."

"Oh my god!" I squeal. "He fell first. That is just like your father over here." I laugh, remembering our time together.

"What can I say?" He says smugly and sips his drink, he passes me some and I drink it too.
"I remember everything he said that night -and I quote- I want to be with you forever, I want all my good moments with you, the crazy woman I'm falling in love with... I love you Jasmine'." She smiles even more and she cries happy tears. "He uh, gave me this ring." Jasmine shows me the ring, which I can now see properly.
