Davina's Pov: I stared stunned when Vincenzo drove into the mansion, it was very huge and grand. I was so sure that I hadn't even seen everything yet, I followed nervously and quiet as Vincenzo and Angelo walked me into the hall of the mansion. The designs, decorations and everything in the hall was breathtaking, I started to search around curiously " what's wrong? I'll show you around the house later " Vincenzo said to me as he thought I was searching around because I wanted to see the house well, but that wasn't even my intention " no, I mean it'll be nice to see around but I'm just curious about something " he stared dumbfounded as I nervously said to him " what are you curious about? " I started to fidget with my fingers not knowing how to say it " well you see in movies you're supposed to see muscled terrifying men in a Mafia house, but I can't see any " I blushed hard embarrassed as Angelo and Vincenzo broke into a hearty laughter " I didn't think you'd be this type, I like you more and more " I blushed more as Vincenzo said to me " they're around doing their own thing, we live here as a normal family and not a Mafia family. I'll introduce them to you in a bit " he pipped the normal again which made me felt more embarrassed, suddenly an old lady climbed down the stairs with some muscled men behind her. I stared nervously at her as she walked towards us, my guess was she was his grandma who he talked about. Vincenzo hurried to her and kissed both her cheeks, Angelo did the same before she walked over to me. I stared more nervous not knowing what to do as my heart raced faster in my chest " H .. Hello " I blushed as my voice broke, she grabbed my chin and started to turn my face side ways as if she was checking something out. " che bella ragazza hai portato a casa " I stared dumbfounded not knowing what she meant " nonna, you know beauty when you see one " Angelo walked to her and placed both his hands on her shoulders, she smacked his hands and he pulled them away as he hissed in pain " nonna ... " " shut up " his grandma yelled at him as he tries to talk, she looked somewhat irritated and angry which scared me. I didn't know what was going on but I could tell something was off about them, we all stood quiet not uttering a word till Vincenzo broke the silence again " nonna sei ancora arrabbiata con me? " his grandma shrugged her shoulders not bothered by whatever he just said to her, " se hai tempo per assumere ragazze per lavoro, perché non mi porti una nuora " she sneered at him as she said in Italian, but Vincenzo smiled warmly and brightly as he walked to her. He took her hand in his and slowly walked her over to me smiling more brightly, " she's not a worker nonna, meet Davina my wife " I almost choked on my saliva as he brashly said to his grandma, I was so sure she'd take it offensive but instead she also beamed with happiness. She pulled her hand out of Vincenzo's hold and took both my hands, I stared baffled at this family. I mean normal families would be anger to find out their son or family member married without their consent, but his grandma looked more happy than he was. " bentornata a casa mia nuora " i couldn't help but smiled brightly back with the warm smile she kept giving me, she suddenly started to dragged me along with her making me take a seat beside her in the couch. Vincenzo and Angelo also took a seat beside us as the muscled men stood like guards, " nonna she's an American, Consigliere Angelo had already prepared the marriage certificate and we've signed " he proudly said to his grandma " we have to make your wedding grand, why did you just do whatever you like? Doesn't what I like matter? " she asked angrily, I stared at them feeling warmth in my heart. They truly looked like a normal family, I thought I was going have to experience those movies and drama plots where is be offered money to leave Vincenzo. I mentally laughed at my own stupidity as I stared jealous, I wished I also had a family like this where I won't have to feel lonely. " nonna, ... we can hold a celebration and you can invite whoever you want, I'll leave you to organize the celebration anyhow you like. Just don't make it too grand, I'll get a ring prepared by then " they were so focused on planning our wedding celebration, to think the most feared Mafia Family could be this childish was something I'd never have thought. " we'll hold the celebration in three days time, the sooner the better. sei finalmente pronto per darmi un nipotino Vincenzo " Vincenzo's face suddenly reddened up as his grandma said making Angelo laughed at his reaction, I stared between clueless as they laughed at whatever his grandma had said " nonna è troppo presto per dirlo " he said back to her which made her mood changed " i giovani di oggi non capirebbero il vecchio " Angelo scoffed as she replied back to Vincenzo's comment, they finalized everything about the wedding celebration. His grandma suddenly pulled me closer as she hugged me making me stiffened in her embrace I'm shock, " welcome once again my daughter " I smiled brightly as I felt the warmth of a mother, " thank you Mrs. Cassano " i didn't know what to call her so I just said what came in mind, she broke the hug and brought me to face her well. " Nonna Giulia, that's what people call me. But as my daughter i preferred you call me nonna or grandma like they do " I turned to Vincenzo and Angelo shyly as she said and pointed to them, I nodded my head in understanding and she smiled before getting up. " we'll talk a lot from now on, but for now I'll leaving Vincenzo to show you around. I hope you both work hard and give me a grandchild soon " I felt as if my head had exploded from the high level of embarrassment I felt, I could almost see smoke coming out of my ears. I stared at Vincenzo who smirked teasingly as his grandma started to walk away " I have to start Preparations now, I'll let you know whenever everything is done " she yelled to us before she disappeared from our sights. " capo sei tornato " we all turned towards where the voice came from, a guy whom I recognized as Vincenzo's colleague walked in looking all happy. " If I recall correctly I think his name was Vito " I thought. After the incident were I failed to recognize Vincenzo that night, I made sure to cross check and study the faces of all the students in the University. I didn't want to ever repeat such mistake again, " wow you finally managed to get the Prof after stalking her for almost a month, you're really something Vincenzo " I stared baffled at his words and Angelo stood up and started to laugh out so hard clenching his tummy, Vito stopped in his tracks when he was a step away from Vincenzo who glared dangerously angrily at him. " stronzo " Vincenzo sneered, I was startled as he pulled out a g*n from his back and pointed it at Vito. Vito raised his hands in the air making Angelo laughed more, he was probably older than Vincenzo and Vito but he behaves childish more than them " what does he mean by you stalking me for almost a month? " I finally asked the question I was dying to Vincenzo's POV: I stared angrily at that i***t, I didn't want Davina to know that I had already seen her at the club a long time but the stronzo " asshole " had to let the cat out of the back. I just felt like ending his idiotic life once and for all, this wasn't the first or second time he'd ever said something which he wasn't supposed to. He was my second in Command and he was good at his job, but Vito's only problem was that he was a real i***t. You could even deceive him with just words and he'd fall flat for it, I felt anxious when Davina asked me the one question which I never wanted her to ask me. I turned to stare at her not knowing what to say as I put away the g*n, Angelo who was laughing non-stop finally stopped laughing and sat in the couch along with Vito. Everyone's eyes were now on me as they wait patiently to listen to how I was going to explain myself to Davina, I thought to just make something up but my heart wouldn't allow me. I didn't want my relationship with her to be base on a lie, so I decided to tell her the truth. I had fallen for her since the first time I laid my eyes in her when I started to take her lectures, since then she was the only woman I could think of and I wanted to have her but I was shocked to see her working as a pole dancer in one of the nightclubs I owned. I had her investigated and when I found out about the reason she was working there, I wanted nothing more than to help her and I wanted to be her support. " Davina actually I knew you were working in that club a long time, that night you didn't bumped into me I made it seemed so. I had to find a way for you to leave the club that night, .... " " wait, wait, wait, so you already knew I work there but you didn't tell the university? " she asked in shock which made me laughed at her cuteness " why would I? Although I didn't like the fact that you worked there but why would I ruin your life when I love you so much, I was looking for a way to approach you for a while now but that night I had to make a sudden appearance because I had to get you to safety. There was a g**g fight in the club and it got too messy with guns and all ... " " the shoot out mentioned in the news? " she asked " yea, I'm sorry about your neck but it had to be done for you to leave ' i felt sad and angry at myself as I recalled what I made one of my men do to her " it's okay that night you helped me, " she smiled brightly which made me smiled back " so meaning you threatening with that was all a lie right? I dont have to be scared because you won't do anything bad to me right? meaning I can ask for a divorce and work had to pay you back the money for my mom's medical bills right? " she boldly said to me and stood up from the couch, she attempted to walk away which pissed me off and scared me. " I won't give you any divorce until the period of the contract, I can have your mom's heart transplant stopped at anytime I want don't you forget that Davina! " I yelled at her and she turned back to me with her eyes teary as she looked at me sadly, I let my anger get the better of me which made me silently cursed. " I was just joking Mr. Cassano, i know very well that I have sold my five years to you. I wouldn't dare mess with the boss of the Cassano Family, I'm at your disposal. You can use my hardships against me anytime you feel like it " she said to me pained and in a sad tone which made me felt responsible, I could tell she was enraged and I knew that what I did wasn't the right way to approach her. But I was desperate and I wanted her no matter what I had to do to get her, " te l'ho già detto vero? hai sbagliato. non ti avvicini a qualcuno che ami in quel modo " I turned to Angelo who turned serious and stood up from the couch after he said that, " I told you right? you did wrong. You don't approach someone you love that way " was what he said to me in Italian, he didn't approve of what I did but he still let me be since that was what I wanted. " Davina come with me, I'll show you around " he fixed his suit well and started to lease Davina away, he was an easy going person but he was dangerous when angered. Angelo had been the Consigliere since my father's time, he was like an elder brother to me and very protective of me. But whenever I was wrong he'd made sure to rub it to my face and let me face the consequences, I stared quietly as their figures disappeared from my sight. Things had turned south ways, I had wanted to introduce her to everyone but I guess I couldn't anymore as she was angered by what I had done.
