Sandro's POV

I looked over at Emma asleep on my shoulder. We were on the plane on our way home.We had a great time. Emma loved Italy and said we would have to bring the kids there one day. 

The pilot called and let me know we were landing. I reached over and buckled Emma seat belt.

Once we landed I picked Emma up and took her to the car. My men put the bags in the trunk and we made our way home. Emma stirred and I picked her up and sat her in my lap. Her legs on either side of me. She wrapped her hands around me and put her face in my neck cuddling in to me. I felt a light kiss on my neck and I smiled and rubbed her back. 

We pulled into our driveway and I looked down at her. "We're home" I whispered in her ear. She groaned and snuggled closer to me. "C'mon don't you wanna see the kids." I whispered. She pulled away and looked at me. I chuckled and sat her on the seat. I got out and then helped her out. She ran to the house. "Bring the bags to our room and unpack them" I told one of my men. He nodded and did as I told him.  I walked into the house and heard talking from the living room. I walked in and seen Emma sitting in front of the kids playing with them. 

"Daddy" Olivia screamed running towards me. "Hey angel" I said picking her up. I hugged for a good minute and then sat her down and walked to the where they were. I sat on the couch and watched them play. Emma picked up Abby and sat her in her lap. Abby stood and bounced on Emma's thighs. I smiled to myself. Who new I would have my own little family?

She sat Abby down and looked at Ace. "No" she said in a sturn voice. He was going through her purse that was sitting on the floor. She went to grab the bag when he slapped her and moved it away. I leaned forward and grabbed him. "You don't slap your momma" I said. He looked at me and started crying. "Sandro it was ok" she said. I looked at her and raised my eyebrows. 

"No he needs to know you don't hit women especially his momma" I told her. She nodded and turned back to playing with Abby. I sat Ace down and leaned back into the couch.

Livi walked to me and sat in my lap. "Can we watch a movie daddy" she asked. I nodded. "Let me and momma get changed." I said standing and sitting on the ground. Emma stood and walked out and went to our room. "Linda watch them with your life" I said looking at the maid in the corner. She nodded and walked over. I went upstairs and seen Emma already ready. I chuckled and walked into the closet to get dressed. 

We walked back down stairs and spent time with the kids.

Emma's POV

I got out of the shower and dried myself off. I wrapped a towel around me and walked to the closet, trying not to wake a sleeping Sandro.

Today me and Maggie are having a girls day. I walked into the room and over to the bed. I sat of the edge and ran my fingers down his bare stomach. My hands feeling his rippling 6 pack. He grabbed my hands and I looked at his face. "Don't tease" he said in a really sexy morning voice. I smiled and leaned down kissing his lips. "I am leaving" I told him. He nodded and pulled me in kissing me one more time. I walked out of our room and walked to Maggie's. She was dressed and doing her hair.

She grabbed her purse and we walked downstairs. We got in her car and pulled onto the highway. "where do you won't to go?" I asked. She shrugged. "I am hungry so lets go eat"  she said pulling into IHOP.  We went in and got a table. 

"Sandro said he was going to do something with the kids and James." I said. She raised an eyebrow. "What" she asked. I shrugged and picked up mt menu. We ordered and were waiting on our food. 

"Let's go to the neighboring town and walk around." She suggested. I looked at her. "Sandro would not like that and you know it." I told her. She shrugged, "He is not here" she said smirking. 

Apperently there is a small gang there that has beef with Sandro. So he told me never to step foot over there. What he doesn't know can't hurt him. Right?

"Let's do it" I said. She clapped her hands and squealed. "Yay"

Our food came and we ate everything on our plates. My phone dinged and I opened it. 

James and I are going out, kids stayed with Linda

It read. I put it back in my pocket and we walked back to the car and drove to the next town over.

She parked in front of a small cafe. We got out and I stood on the side walk. "I have been wanting to take you to one of these forever" she said. I furrowed my brows. "Where" I asked. She grabbed my hand and dragged me to an abandoned building. We walked inside and went up to the man up front."Hey John" she said. He smiled and unlocked a door letting us through. 

The was tons of people here. The was a ring in the middle and two men were inside it fighting. I looked at Maggie. "Where are we." I asked. She smiled at me. "This my friend is 'The Ring.' it is where illegal underground fighting happens." she said. My jaw dropped. I looked around and seen tons of people hollering at the men in the ring. She led us to the middle of the crowd and we watched the fight. 

I turned around and looked around the place. Suddenly my eyes locked with James. I turned around fast and dropped to the floor. I pulled Maggie down with me. "I just seen James." I whispered. Her eyes widened and she looked around. "Shit, I have to get you out of here." she said about to stand back up. "If James is here then so i Sandro." I said. Her eyes widened even more. We stood and my eyes went back to James. I looked beside him and seen and angry Sandro glaring at him. They seemed to be arguing. James looked my way and his jaw dropped. Sandro's eyes snapped over her. And his eyes darkened. They started to walk towards us.

I grabbed Maggie and we ran. We made it to her car and we jumped in. I looked out my window and seen a very angry Sandro heading our way. Maggie backed up and drove away. I turned around in my seat and seen him glaring at the car. Him and James turned around the other way and walked to where I assume he was parked. 

"He is going to kill me" I said. Maggie began laughing. I looked at her. "Are you crazy, did you see how mad he was." I asked. She nodded and turned down a dirt road. I looked at her confused."Where are you going" I asked. "This is a short cut home" she said. I nodded. 

Withing 8 minutes we were at the house. I got out of the car and ran inside. "We have to hide." Maggie said grabbing my hand. We ran upstairs and into Livi's room. We hid in her closet behind all her clothes. 

The front door slammed and I knew they were home. I looked at Maggie and she was as calm as good be. We stayed quiet. My phone started ringing. I quickly turned the volume down and declined Sandro's call. Something shattered downstairs and I jumped. He is MAD!!!

"Sir is something wrong?" I heard Linda ask. Something else broke and I heard another door slam. 

I heard Livi's bedroom door open and Linda cam in with Livi. We kept quiet. "Let's get you changed" Linda said walked into the closet. She moved the clothes around. She saw us and opened her mouth to scream. I jumped on her and held my hand over her mouth. 

I removed my hand, "Shh" I said. "Mrs. you need to calm sir down he seems a bit angry." she said. I nodded and stood. I guess it was time to face the beast. I quietly walked out of the room and went downstairs. James was sitting on the couch. 

"Emma" he said standing and walking over to me. "I know " I said. He nodded and pointed towards his office. I thanked him and walked to the office. I stopped outside the door. I heard his heavy breathing. My hands were shaking. I put my hand on the handle and slowly opened the door. I walked in and quietly shut the door. I looked at Sandro who was pacing the room and had not noticed my presence.

I shifted my weight on my feet and the floor creaked. His head shot up and his eyes softened but quickly went back to the dark angry color. 

He walked around his desk and sat down. I stayed glued in place waiting for him to say something. 

"I am sorry" I said in a soft voice. He scoffed and shook his head. 

"I never tell you what to do. My one simple request was that you not go into that city. But what happened you went and you ended up at an illegal fight. Do you know how dangerous that was." He stated, his voice raising towards the end. 

"Nothing happened" I said. "BUT IT COULD HAVE" He yelled losing control. I jumped. He stood up and walked closer to me. "We had it under control" I said. He chuckled humorlessly. 

"Yeah right" he scoffed. That is what made me mad. How dare he assume I can't handle myself. 

"We did" I said more confidently. "I can take care of myself." I said. 

"They point is you disobeyed me and went anyway." he said his voice loud. "You can't tell me where to go" I said. He shook his head and looked me dead in the eye, "Your not to go there anymore" he said. I scoffed and walked up to him. 

"I will do anything I want." I said. "NO WILL NOT" his voice boomed. I jumped in fear and looked up at him. I pulled my hand back and slapped in the face. I turned around and ran out. Tears stung my eyes. I ran up the stairs and into the room locking the door behind me. I sat on the floor in front of the door pulled my knee's to my chest. I cried and lay my head in my knee's. 

There was a knock on the door. "Mrs." I heard Linda say. I stood and wiped my face. I opened the door and seen her hold the kids with Livi standing next to her. I grabbed the twins and let Livi in. I closed the door and locked it. I sat on the bed and lay the twins down. "Where is daddy?" Livi asked. 

"It is going to be just us today." I said. She nodded and crawled into bed. I stood and walked to the closet putting on something comfortable.

I walked back to the bed and crawled in snuggling with my kids. We watched movies for the rest of the day.

Around nine at night I heard knocking at the door. I ignored it. I knew who it was and I was mad at him. He could sleep on the couch tonight. "Emma let me in" his voice said through the door. When I did not answer he groaned and stomped away. I turned over and lay on my side facing the door. 

Maybe I should forgive him?

I think I will in the morning. He needs to learn that he cannot tell me what to do. I rolled over and went to sleep.
