In love with the Mafia

Episode 1

It was a regular morning for me, i woke up everyday with rays of sunshine hitting my face. Literally. It was my twin babies smacking me hinting me it was time to wake up. I was blessed to have a little boy and a little girl. They were 1 year old and they were the best thing that ever happened to me. 

My name is Aria Navarro, im 21 years old, i am a single mother to these babies but i will get more into detail on how that came about in a second. I'm about 5'4, sun kissed tan skin, thick curly hair and hazel eyes like a pool of honey. I lived in LA, California. I lived with my best friend Jasmine, we have been friends since i could remember. Shes been there for me through the tough times and the best times. I'm really close to y family, my parents are the nicest more understanding people on earth. Truly angels sent from heaven. Im an only child. 

My baby girl has my everything, from my eyes to my hair to the way she is when shes upset. Her name is Luna Everly Romano My son on the other hand was his fathers carbon copy, Dark wavy almost straight hair, piercing grey-blue eyes, his nose, his lips EVERYTHING! His name is Adriano Valentino Romano. 

Now after all these introductions you may be wondering, where's their father. Well his name is Ace Romano, the man of my heart but the one ive been hiding from for almost 3 years now. He doesn't know that these babies exist let alone that they are his. Why am i hiding you may ask? We met in college he was older than me he should be 25 by now. I loved him and part of me still does but i wish it would all wash away along with the memories i continue to hold of him. We dated for about a year my parents accepted him with open arms, but his family? Not so much. His father Lorenzo and brother Santiago were always so kind to me, but his mother? She hated me even before actually meeting me. She would always say i was only using her son for money, this family was completely loaded, they were billionaires. I always asked Ace what kind of business they had but he never said he always just said it was "family business" but i didn't dwell to much on it. His mother would insult me every time we were alone. Ace knew about it but he said "he would talk to her" or "just give her time she'd come around. I remember the incident when i said enough was enough. I had been feeling very sick, vomiting every morning, craving weird things and i noticed my body changing. I checked my calendar and my answer was right in front of me. I was pregnant. I of course did the test to confirm. I panicked not because of Ace's reaction but his mother. If before she thought i was with him because of the  money i know now shes gonna think even worse as i stroked my belly. "No matter what you'll always come first" i said to my baby. 

I went over to Ace's house because i was ready to tell him, he wasnt home yet but he told me just to wait there and that his mother wasn't home. I got there and i was waiting in his room. It wasnt something new for me, we'd spent a lot of time in there. I hear a car pull in and i start to get a little nervous as i am about to reveal i am pregnant with his seed. This baby was conceived out of love so why was i so nervous to tell him. As i get up to straighten myself up i come to the realization that its not Ace's car. It was his mother's. It looks like she was shopping because she had at least 9 bags around her wrists. i quietly stay in Ace's room. And she comes in to drop off something she had purchased i guess. I bolted up as i see her come in, she looks at me with disgust "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOME YOU GOLD DIGGER?" 

"Im waiting for Ace" i said. She steps closer to me and you could see the hate and disgust in her eyes. "I never will understand what my son see's in such a fat, disgusting slut like you" Her words did damage especially after finding out i was pregnant i because self conscious and wonder if she could actually tell. Tears blurred my vision, i did not respond i tried to make my way to the door but she stood in front. "I want you to leave my son alone, name your price i know thats what you want." I looked at her blankly, "i am not with your son for money therefore your money is not needed i am content with what i have". Her cheeks turned red like a fire truck she was fuming "YOU'VE BEEN WARNED NOW GET OUT OF MY HOUSE" I left as fast as i could. I planned to tell Ace but in my heart i knew he would find someway to defend her. But what she did was unimaginable, unforgivable and i will forever resent her. 

Ace called me later that night to meet him at the park by his house and he sounded very serious. I get there and he's already there. I run up to hug him and he doesn't embrace me he just stands there, i knew something was wrong. I look up at those piercing grey eyes and i see hurt, i ask him " What wrong baby?" and he looks straight into my eyes and says "Im only gonna ask you this once and i want you to be honest" I simply nod, being the only way i could answer after seeing how serious he was. "Were you in my house today?" I answer "Yes you told me i could". "Did you i have an encounter with my mom?" "Yes she said very mean things to me " as a tear creeps up on the corner of my eye. "Dont lie to me ! " he raises his voice at me, and i flinch as he has never done so. "I found my mother crying with a marks on her face saying you it her and told her you would manipulate her into thinking she insulted you" "How could you do that ? shes my mother" I was stunned, i didn't know how to react. " I...I ...I dont know what to say, you have to believe me i didn't do that i would never" "So you are calling my mom a liar?" I couldn't answer i was just in a state of shock and hurt. i got up the courage and was able to complete a sentence. "I'm not gonna sit here and try to change your mind when in the end your mother has always come first, I never asked you to chose between me and her but i expected you to respect me as your girlfriend. You need to grow up and become a man. I'm only gonna say one last thing, i really hope you dont regret it, because you will never see us again" i got up and left. A few days later i found out his family had moved to New York. And from that day forward i dedicated my life to my babies, i never went on dates never really pampered myself its always been them.
