His Mafia Heiress

The long lost heiress

Chapter 42

-- Anika --

We sat at the balcony to at least have some fresh air, I needed this the most since I can't still ease my tension. 

"Are you ready?" Isaac asked for the last time, I just nodded in response. 

"Casper didn't told me all the information he gathered when I asked him to find you. So I assigned Jenny to make another research. The day you had a fight with Jenny at the Library was the day he gave me all the information about you. I personally went to America to talked to your father because I believed he will be a big help in knowing your past, and I was right, your father actually knew everything, he planned everything, from your birth until the day we met at the Scott residence. Surprisingly, our planned is synchronized, I planned on making you mine, while he planned on getting you away from them. You we're a weeks old baby when you we're given to Alfred, he believed the man who gave you to them was your father because you have the same eyes as him, after a few weeks after you father was reported dead. Alfred made a clean sheet to make you legally a Scoot heiress. Knowing your past, Alfred made you the person you need to be for your own sake, and giving you to me was one of his hardest decision." Isaac paused for a while and get something from the bedside cabinet. 

"This is the handkerchief with you when were given to Alfred, he researched about that meaning of that sign and found out you are a lost heiress, surprisingly you are a Italian Doña, and not just some cheap Italian personnel's but the heiress of Leonardo and Andrea D'Amelio, the strongest Mafia couple in Italy. I remember my father had a great allied with them before but the lost of your parents was caused chaos in Italy that my father decided to cut ties because you uncle was no good for us. Your uncle Michael was the one who ruled after your father. There's even a rumor that your uncle was the one who killed your parents for the sake of the throne, and it was so obvious because he immediately rule the family once your father was gone, and I'm sure also that he was the one coming after you. Your great grandfather was still alive and if he knew you are not dead like what was reported that you died with your mother, he wouldn't allow your uncle to take the throne because according to Jenny, your uncle was just adopted from one of your member. Unfortunately, your uncle haven't know the word indebtedness that's why he killed your parents. Now, I know, I already sent the messages to them that I will not give you at all, they might have hurt me last time, but I will always stand and fight for you no matter how many times they tried to bring me down." Isaac said assuring me, I felt suffocated hearing all those things. All the information still loading into my brain, it haven't sink it yet, and it's hard to process them at once. 

"I know things are getting hard, but I promise you, I will always be here by your side to protect you. I will not think twice to sweep off the people who will try to hurt the only woman I love. I promise they will not touch hurt even just strand of your hair, and this time all the things that will be planned will never be kept on you. Every step that I will take, you will be informed. This time no more secrets." Isaac said then kissed me on my head followed by a reassuring hug.

All I thought these things just happens on movies and books but here I am hearing the same. My own story that seems like a fiction. I'm just an ordinary doctor, a well known maybe but not like this, this is way too far from what I imagined my life would be, but what makes me accept this fate is that, there is Isaac, the person who not just promise but committed his life to me. He makes me stronger and gives me certainty in this chaotic life I will be facing from now on, his my back bone, the reason why I'm still standing firm. I never knew I would love this feeling. The feeling of having someone whom you will be with you for the rest of my life, but wait? Have I mean getting married and growing old?

"Are you okay?" Isaac asked that makes me realize I'm spacing out. 

"Yes! It's just that, all the information is new to me, still helping my brain cells to process them all. you know, how come a person like me became an Italian heiress of Mafia." I asked but Isaac just chuckle. 

"You're not just mafia heiress, you are the goddess of Mafia, everyone mafia leader is dying to get you. Don't you know that? But I guessed I won the price because finally you show affection towards me. Is that mean you love me already?" He asked teasing me. 

"Really Isaac?" I just said but I can feel my face heating up, and it felt so embarrassing, specially in front of Isaac. 

"No need to be shy my love, you're blushing." At that moment I want to just jump out at the balcony or  be eaten by the ground. 

Then Isaac burst his laughter, I immediately cover my face. I don't know how to act at this kind of situations, I'm good at anything but not with controlling this feeling I need to train myself from now on. 

"You're so cute when you blush, you need to do that more often." I punch his shoulders and cover my face again. 

"Sorry! I just can't help seeing you like this. It's seems like a new side of Anika has finally open. You should start to open new doors to me Anika and stop being shy nor hesitant" He hugged me again, it was comforting and it ease the shyness away. 

I think Isaac was right, I need to fully open new doors with him and let out the other side of me that even I still don't know. 

We we're disturbed by a knock on our door, revealing Amelia and Albert with a hand full or tray. 

"Lunch is ready Mr. Isaac, Ms. Anika" Albert said bowing on us, I smiled back looking at them. 

They make their way inside and arrange the table for us. The foods looks delicious and healthy. I advice Amelia last time to prepare healthy foods for Isaac as soon as he wake up, good thing she remembered it. 

"Please enjoy your meal" Amelia said before they leave the room. 

Isaac turn on the speaker and play a love song that seems like we are dating on high end restaurant. 

"Shall we?" Isaac asked as he assist me to seat on the chair. 

"Thank you." I just said and we started eating.

We started exchanging thoughts like catching up for the days Isaac was asleep. I know the wounds still hurt and I still need to monitor him but his strong aura always make the people put at ease that he is fine, but I don't want to fall for that, I still want to be assure before we made our way to my devilish uncle. 

This time I will make sure, he will not hurt Isaac, nor anyone from this family. 

Oh God! I don't wat have I done to be with this man.
