My Mafia Ex-Husband

Chapter 12 - Santino

I felt so much love with my wife in my arms and my baby boys in the back seat laughing with my men. I could not help but think of what awaits us and the challenges coming soon. My father has always favored timid wives, perfect silent, docile women.

Not my ray of sunshine. She is like a fresh breath of air. Just her presence in a room, she commands it. Not because she is the Dona, it is because she is kind, respected, intelligent, warm and beautiful inside and out.

She is fierce in protecting our family and friends. She is my future whether I stay in my position or not. I always have my mother’s businesses to tend. She was the one that started the hotel and spa businesses overseas. My cousin, Sara, manages the businesses while I am out of town.

The jet landed and I could see my sister, Juliana, waiting for us. Our babies had fallen asleep. In the short time, my men have become closer to the children. They looked like protective uncles.

Cassandra was already changed and had her hair down. She was a bit embarrassed that I left a love bite on her neck. I laughed. “No one will say anything, you are my wife.”

“Oh, you are a teenager now. Great. Let me know when you voice changes.”

“Oh, my tesoro, you will know and feel it.” He growled in my ear. “

Oh my! I think my ovaries just went into overdrive.”

“Oh, really. We can make sure once we are in our bedroom again.”

“Stop being so horny.”

“Hey, it has been a long time for me waiting to find you. I have a lot to make up for. A LOT!”

Cassandra giggled and cupped my face. She reached up and gently kissed my lips. My sister cleared her throat to interrupt us.

“Good morning sis. Nice of you to ruin my horny moment!”

“Eew, gross. Now is not the time brother. Cassandra, how are you?” She enveloped my wife in a bear hug. They squeezed each other giggling.

“Where are my nephews? Oh, My goodness! Thank God they look like their momma. Ooh, they have their daddy’s’ eyes I see. Well hello there little ones. You are two are so cute!” My sister laughed and clapped her hands.

Both babies giggled and held grabby hands in the air. They automatically loved her. Julianna danced toward the limo that will drive use to my mother’s villa, with the babies in her clutches. She danced and talked to the babies like she spoke their language.

Gerardo laughed, “Boss, she is a natural. Good luck getting them back!”

I noticed Giovanni staring at Julianna a little longer than normal, then he caught himself and looked right at me. He smiled and nodded. I have known he has been in love with Julianna since we were teenagers. But he has never acted upon his feelings.

He started to walk away, and I caught him by his arm. “Giovanni, I see it in your eyes. I trust you with my sister’s heart. Just remember she will be stubborn but love her like she deserves, or I will have to have my wife kick your ass! You know how close they are, just like sisters. Julianna is the sister that Cassandra deserves.” I smirked and hurried after my wife as she walked to the limo.

Giovanni signed and mumbled to himself. I think he was battling his feelings for my sister and being my second in command. I would never stand in the way of my sister’s happiness, nor Giovanni’s.

We arrived at my mother’s villa and Cassandra fell in love with it instantly. I knew she would. She likes the same things my mother did. She is strong just like my mother. My mother did not take crap from my father.

I think she kept him in line when she was alive, I think my father lost control when my mother passed away. He became cold and distant. Sometimes Julianna and I would be talking to him, it seemed like he was in another world. I just hope in my heart that what Cassandra was thinking is not true.

My mother’s villa is just beautiful. She had arranged for plants from Italy to be brought in and her favorite water lilies to be planted. She had jasmine planted in the rear of the garden. She designed the water fall herself and watched closely as it was being built. Eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, indoor pool, billiard room (which I will make use of as soon as these people are gone), a gourmet kitchen, a huge pantry, the largest family room with a large see through fireplace. A six-car garage that is separate from the main house.

We had a guard shack built in the front of the property as well as in-law quarters in the rear of the property past the outdoor pool. My mother had a bar built just next to the pool for our large family events. There are several bathrooms outside.

There is also a separate catering kitchen behind the bar. Which is nice. It keeps visitors out of the main house. My mother loved family events but was wary of visitors and true intentions. I know the feeling now.

Cassandra fell in love with my mother’s villa. My mother gifted it to me. My sister got the island. We both share everything our mother gave us. I have every intention on spoiling my children and wife.

Cassandra took the boys up to the main floor, next to the master bedroom is another nursery. I had the room upgraded while I went to retrieve my wife and boys. My boys. I love the sound of that.

The nursey has horses painted on the walls. Forest and river scenes. Flowers and birds of every color. The are little beds for toddlers with safety rails. I will speak with Cassandra on her feelings to have a nanny in-house. It will be her decision. But I know she has a lot of work with the cases she gets handed to her by her handler.

I will let my wife rest and speak with her later on our legit businesses. I would love for her to take over and manage these on-line businesses. She is a wizard according to Gerardo. And I think he is. That is saying something. It is called respect.

My boys are playing with all of the toddler toys in the room. They are laughing and rolling around as Cassandra is sitting in the lounge and watching them. I walk over and sit behind her. I wrap my arms around her and bury my face in the neck.

“Are you okay my love?”

“Yes. I am just working s**t out in my head about my sister. Gerardo is bringing me files that he has on my father, my sister and your father’s activities since I left.”

“I had a bad feeling when you left after I kicked out Dahlia. I asked him to keep tabs. The man is thorough. He has recorded conversations. Videos and pictures.”

“Nice, I like that.” She leaned into my chest and closed her eyes. I can only imagine what is going through her mind.
