Elena's pov

Hearing my alarm going off I knew the day was just starting. I didn't feel anything or anyone near me... Maybe it could have been a dream. Just the mere thought of it maybe being a dream made me immediately wake up, I hope it wasn't a dream. Sitting upright I realized I was completely naked, looking over I noticed my son wasn't in his crib causing me to freak out. Standing up I grabbed a small blanket, wrapped it around me as I rushed out of the bedroom.

"È qui, non preoccuparti tesoro." Translation: He's here, don't worry darling. Entering the main room I looked over at them, seeing Luciano sitting on the couch shirtless with Luciano wrapped around his arms as he looked at him. I found the moment beautiful that they both seemed curious about each other. He doesn't know it yet but he's almost an exact replica of his father.

"Luciano." I softly spoke out as I carefully sat down next to him on the couch, keeping a tight grip on the blanket shielding my body from him. He turns to look at me, giving me a confused look as I just called him out.

"Questo è il nome di tuo figlio Luciano." Translation: That's your son's name Luciano. Looking back down at him I noticed him smiling down at him. He seemed proud of him, receiving his name.

"The moment he was borned he looked just like you, I still was grieving and this was one of the things you left behind, I named him Luciano L. Vertoly... May I?" Handing him over to me I let the blanket fall past my breast as I was ready to feed him. I could feel him staring at him then at me then back to my breast as if he seemed jealous in a way.
Before he could do anything I asked him what happened. Why did he have to fake his death.

"You caused me harm." I whispered out.

Feeling him lean over he placed a soft kiss against my cheek. "I didn't mean to hurt you tesoro. My attentions were not to cause you suffering, It's something that I will carry till the day I die, mi dispiace amore mio." Translation: i'm sorry my love.

"The day I sent you two to France was the day we were at a shootout. I wasn't supposed to be there, it was bad timing. I got shot right here," He lifts his shoulder a bit, touching the scar left behind. "I honestly didn't feel it but it was one of those moment's I wished I had Nicolo with us so I would have gotten a brighter idea then faking my death." Shaking his head he chuckled out as he ran his fingers through his beautiful hair.

"I got shot and since I knew there was a hit on me by Mr. Russo that was was blacklisted by Serena, I was her 'man' but to them I was a target. I knew that some men were trying to follow you and I didn't want to risk losing you so I faked my death. The tragic news would brake Serena causing a halt... I was correct."

He began to go into detail with how they managed to create a plan to assassinate her. Luckily leaving out the brutal assassination part but he seemed somewhat proud, a small glimpse of sadness was floating around his eyes.

"Sarebbe stato orgoglioso di te Luciano." Translation: He would have been proud of you Luciano. I spoke quietly as I noticed our son fell asleep mid feeding time which was strangely odd, this is the first time he's done this but I wasn't going to complain, especially since Luciano was finally right next to my side.
"You made him proud." He smiles down at the ground, seeming lost in his head as I mentioned it to him. I had a feeling his father never told him he was proud of him, I understood the feeling sadly. In this instant he managed to avenge his family and the citizens which was amazing. I don't know what's next but I do hope everything turns out well.

Hearing the second alarm go off my eyes go wide as I just noticed It was my second alarm, telling me that I had to be out of the door in ten minutes... I didn't realize I had wasted a lot of time. Handing Luciano over to him I quickly get off the couch, letting the blanket slide off of my naked body as I rushed to the bedroom to put on my clothes.

"Please don't do this to me?!" I panicked as I struggled to slide the work dress over my body. It seems that I was bloated or gain more weight around my stomach/hip area. Please stop this!

"Tesoro, cosa stai facendo?" Translation: Darling, what are you doing?

"I-I have five minutes to be out that door and head over to work." I rushed out as I managed to forcefully pull the dress down. As I was grabbing my hair, ready to tie it up in a bun I felt him standing right behind me, it's been a while since I felt him behind me, I felt a shiver run up my back causing me to shiver.

"Don't go." He seductively suggested as his hand went onto my dress... Wait where's Luciano? I whip around to face him, no baby in his hands. Getting on my tippy toes to look over my shoulder I didn't see him in his crib... Oh god-

"He's laying on the couch fast asleep, don't worry I place pillows on the edge so he wouldn't fall over."

Letting out a sigh of relief I ignore him as I jogged into the bathroom, rushing to brush my teeth and apply some makeup so I wouldn't look dead.
Entering the bathroom he leans against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his chest as he seemed a little angry at me as I continued to rush.

Spitting out the toothpaste I turn around only to bump into him, his arms wrapping around my body as I was pushed against his naked sculpted chest.

"Quando ti ho detto che non volevo che ti sporcassi, volevo dire che era cara ... Ricordi?" Translation: When I told you I didn't want you getting down a dirty I meant it darling... Remember?
I gulp down, remembered what he told me the day I went to go work for him. 'I'm not letting you get dirty tesoro.' He didn't want me working anymore, he wanted to take care of me. Trying to push away from him I failed miserably.

"Luciano-"

"-Pack up i'm taking you back home." This time I put up a fight to let go of me, he seemed to noticed and instead of letting me get away he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, due to the dress already being tight and the sudden action it caused it to rip all around me, making me embarrassed.

Placing me on the bed he ripped of my dress, I let out a soft gasp as the fabric easily came off of me.

"I love you tesoro, whether you like it or not i'm bringing you back home where you belong along with our son. Metti questo su sexy." Translation: Put this on sexy. He tosses me the dress I was wearing last night as he headed back to the mainroom to get Luciano.
I didn't want to go, I made new york my home again regardless of my parent's not wanting me here. I created a life, a life that I accepted and now I have to leave it behind, forcefully or willingly... I won't be able to see my sister again.

Exiting the bedroom I shed a tear, Realizing that I was leaving in bad terms with my family... I couldn't do anything anyways since they don't want to speak to me, I have to wait till they come into terms with this. I just have to let it be. Blowing out a breath I sucked in my emotions and walked next to Luciano as he was now dress with our boy in his arms.

"How to I tell my boss I quit?" I asked him as I placed my head against his shoulder as I looked around the apartment. I'm going to miss it.

"As we speak Nicolo is doing that for you, after all I know the boss."

"Was I working for you." I raised an eyebrow as we both walk out of the apartment.
"No." With one last look at the apartment he closes the door, locking it and leaving the house key under the mat- wait where did he find that key?

Before we left I kept staring at the door. Deep down I was attached to the apartment. This was my first ever apartment I was able to get and rent out, it's a huge accomplishment to me that i'm very proud of. I wrap my arms around him, being careful of our sleeping son.

"I'm going to b-be honest, I don't like this change but I do like the fact that you're alive."

"I'm not making the mistake of leaving you behind Elena, especially our son. You were born and raised here tesoro but you when you were living with me in Italy it seemed like you were born over there, you looked more joyful over there then here. Quite frankly you are my queen and I'm going to be treating you like once. Because of that i'm planning out wedding soon since I want you to have my last name." Smiling at him I continued to hug him. He was right. I was acting like my true self over there, it wasn't because of him- actually it was because of him but because I could let myself go. That's where I learned to be who I am and I know damn well our son would grow up to be a better person over there then here.

"Luciano?"

"Yes tesoro?"

"I love you."

"I love you too." Leaning down he places a gentle kiss against my lips. Letting go of him he held my hand as he carries our son. Starting today I knew that everything was going to change, I knew I would have to stay strong because I'm going to be his wife, a mobsters wife. I'm going to be a target that's for sure but I know Luciano is going to do everything in his power to keep me safe, I trust him. This won't be easy but I will put up a fight of my own to conquer my fears to protect us... I just hope soon I can be in good terms with my mother and father so I could properly introduce them to my husband and their grandson.

'Please stay safe.'
