[This is the second book of the "Mrs. Mafia" trilogy]
It's been two years since Napoleon DiStefano was born and it's all been absolutely amazing for Apollo and Arabella DiStefano. The family has been the happiest since they lost a vital member, peop...
Mariano and my brother helped me get onto the rock "I bow to kill whoever hurts you," I said looking forward at the ocean "you shall never be in pain again as long as you're under my care," I gently opened the urn, gave the lid to Viktor and squatted down to empty the contents into the water. "Please give me a moment to myself," I said and heard everyone leaving the rocky formation. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, Magdalene," a lump formed in the back of my throat "you will not be forgotten," a tear slipped my eyes and I quickly wiped it away. "Let's go," I said as I reached Viktor and Mariano.
•Two months later•
Visitations have been scheduled. Allegra is allowed to see her kids every Friday night with supervision and if she ever drops by uninvited, Mariano is allowed to say no. I offered myself for being the supervision; believe it or not I'm the responsible one when it comes to the tres amigos besides Napoleon loves being with his cousins.
We are no longer in Rome but in Paris. Abra and Mariano are in Abu Dhabi with her family so things are getting real serious real fast which is great, I love them being so happy and in love.
"Good morning, baby," I said as I shook him gently and then placed a cup of coffee on his night stand.
Apollo's eyes fluttered open as he groaned "Why do you have to be so annoyingly pretty when you wake up?"
I giggled sitting on the empty curve between his abdomen and the edge of the bed "Do you want to go for a run?"
"Yes," he placed his left hand on my right thigh "let me pee and then I'll change."
"I'll be in the living room with Napoleon," I said before pecking his lips "I love you."
"I love you too," his fingers slipped through mine as I got up.
Back in the living room I found Viktor with Napoleon on the floor, playing with a red rubber ball. You know we have the dogs back home but I've been thinking about getting another one; Napoleon loves animals and I would love for him to have a little canine brother.
"I can't wait for you to have some of your own," I said as I sat beside my brother on the floor.
He grinned gazing at me "Things are great with Giorgio. If we keep it up like this, I'm sure you'll have a niece or nephew."
Apollo joined us a few minutes after, he was wearing lycra leggings under his running shorts and a white running jacket "Ready, hot stuff?" He spanked me.
"Oh, daddy," I growled playfully.
"Please leave," Viktor begged.
I laughed "Take care of my offspring!"
My husband and I ran about five miles with our bodyguards behind us. It's really nice being with him in silence while we jog around the city of love.
"That was great," Apollo said as he backed me up against the door of our building "I can't help but get horny when you're wearing this outfit."
I laughed "Leggings and a jacket turn you on? Okay cowboy, we can play injured hiker and Doctor hiker in the shower."
He shook his head "Right now."
"No, handsome," I shook my head looking into his eyes "this is a public place."
"When have we cared? Remember that time in the Maldives?" He leaned into my ear "just thinking about how bendy you are makes me hard."
I chuckled "Baby, I'm not in the mood."
"Fine," he took a step away "I'm gonna go jerk off."
"Sounds like fun," I smiled as I walked into the building behind him "let me know how it goes."
You might be wondering why we aren't staying at the castle Apollo gave me on our honeymoon and here's the answer: they're installing a new heating system which feeds off solar energy. The place is old but I'm doing my best to make it as eco-friendly as possible. I've also bought a whole lot of spices, fruits and veggies to be planted; I really want Napoleon to have a childhood where his face will be filled with mud. He's going to be fearless.
There's more than not being in the mood to have sex, I also have to take Viola and Serafina to a park where Allegra will meet us.
Apollo was the first one to hop in the shower while I spent some quality time with my bubba boo "What would you like to wear today, baby?" I asked Napoleon as I sat him on his railed bed "red, white, black, blue—"
"Wellow!" He exclaimed.
I grinned "Yellow it is, baby," I went into the closet and my phone started ringing as I was on the look out for Napoleon's turtleneck yellow sweater "Hello?" I said putting the phone to my ear.
"Hey," It was Mariano "how are things?"
"Good," I grabbed the hanger with the sweater and then looked in the drawers for a black pair of jeans "how did it go with Abra's dad?"
A strange chuckle left his mouth "He asked me when do I plan to marry his daughter."
I raised an eyebrow "Rushed much, ain't he?"
"He told Abra she isn't getting any younger which was rude but I get he wants his daughter to live happily ever after," he sighed.
"Why are you so pensive? Before you left you were extremely excited to formalize the relationship, did something happen?" I asked as I walked out of the closet; Napoleon was playing with his octopus plushie.
Another deep sigh "I told her I love her, Arabella," he said making me the happiest "she said it back but I'm so paranoid everything will be like Allegra all over again. I put my all into my relationships and they always seem to go excellent until they take a deadly turn...I'm scared."
I shook my head "Don't be scared Mariano," I said holding my phone between my shoulder and right cheek "Abra is very different from Allegra—" a weird beep interrupted the call so I looked at the screen: my Doctor "Mariano, I love you and everything will be all right. Don't be scared, you've got this. I'll call you later," I hung up feeling awful but I need to take this call.
"Arabella?" She said.
"Yes, Doctor Bellum," I confirmed and felt myself turn nervous.
"I have your results in front of me."
