"Buongiorno signore, è bello rivedervi. La stanza è pronta per te e il tuo fidanzato."  (Hello sir, it is good to see you again. The room is ready for you and your fiance). A man says as we enter Paolo's Italy mansion.

"Non è la mia fidanzata." (She's not my fiance.) Alex says.

"Mi dispiace signore." (I'm sorry, sir.) The man says once again. He walks away.

"What was all that?" I ask Alex. His parents had some stuff to do elsewhere so we were sent to the house.

"That's our butler Laurence. He said that the room was ready for me and my fiance. But I told him you weren't my fiance, so he's going to make sure that your room is ready." Alex says. As he finishes Laurence comes back and nods. Alex nods back and leads me upstairs. He leads me to a huge room and my jaw drops.

"This is beautiful!" I say.

"Yes father likes to go all out." Alex says. He walks over to the bed and sits on it.

"Yeah I have noticed that." I say walking over and sitting by him.

"Are you tired?" Alex asks me. I nod and he lays down and gestures for me to lay down.

"I'm not that tired." I say.

"Just lay down with me then?" He asks.

"I hate you sometimes." I say smiling.

"Because you like me so much?" He says lifting an eyebrow as I lay down next to him.

"Exactly." I say moving as close to him as possible.

"How about a bath?" Alex asks looking me in the eyes.

"You don't have to do that." I say.

"Hey your seven months pregnant. Let me take care of you for these months before you have to take care of twins for 18 years." Alex says kissing me softly before standing up and walking to the bathroom. I pull my bluetooth speaker and connect it to my phone. I go through my songs before clicking on one that I know Alex knows too. We've listened to it a few times in the car.

"I love this song!" Alex says as I undress and get in the tub. He sits on a stool behind me and starts washing my hair. We both start singing.
"Come to me
In the night hours
I will wait for you
And I can't sleep
'Cause thoughts devour
Thoughts of you consume
I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can't help but want you
I know that I'd die without you
Stay with me
A little longer
I will wait for you
Shadows creep
And want grows stronger
Deeper than the truth
I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can't help but want you
I know that I'd die without you
I can't help but be wrong in the dark
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts
I can't help but want oceans to part
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts
I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can't help but want you
I know that I'd die without you
I can't help but be wrong in the dark
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts
I can't help but want oceans to part
'Cause I'm overcome in this war of hearts." We finish singing and I'm done bathing. Alex stands up and slowly helps me up before helping me wrap a towel around my body.

"You really don't need to keep doing this." I say and he grins at me before pressing his lips to mine. I smile pulling away.

"Come on let's dry you off and change then we can go get some food. It's nearly dinner time." Alex says and I look at the time. 6:45pm. Man that flight was longer than expected.

"How long did the flight take?" I ask.

"Well while you slept there was a storm so we had to land in France for a few hours. I would have woken you but I fell asleep. Then after the storm the next hours we flew and got here and ta-da, here we are." Alex says. I nod and start drying off. Alex walks over to one of my suitcases to pull out and outfit. He hands me black leggings and a large oversized sweatshirt.

"That's not mine." I say pointing to the sweatshirt.

"Yeah I know. It's mine. Thought you'd like it, but if not I can get something else." He says turning towards my suitcase again.

"No, no, no. It's fine, I'll use it. Plus it smells like you. And honestly I love the way you smell." I say before thinking.

"Wait, what?" Alex says.

"Holy shi- Omg! Did I say that out loud?" I ask.

"Yes, yes you did. And if you want, feel free to wear any of my clothes whenever you'd like." Alex says.

"That was embarrassing." I say dropping my head into my hands as I sit down. Alex walks over and gets on his knees in front of me.

"It's fine, it wasn't that bad. Honestly, I am in love with the way you smell. It's like minty but not too much to where it like stings my eyes as well as something else what is it?" He says thinking.

"Green apple." I say and his face lights up.

"Yes green apple. You smell absolutely amazing, love." He says and the nickname reminds me of Raph.

"Thank you." I say and hug him.

"Love, I will do anything for you." He says before he gently pulls my face towards his and kisses me.

Hello readers! Thanks for reading this new update of Mafia Love! I have an announcement. So soon, like hopefully today or tomorrow, I am hoping to write a prologue explaining some things. First, it will explain the family ties, between the Lorenzi's, Lucciano's, as well as the Galbardi's. Next, it we'll explain why exactly Nicoletta is the sole heir of their Italian Mafia (based in NY). And finally, I hope to get some flashbacks to their childhood. One or two between Nicky and Raph, one or two with Nicky and Reese, one or two with Nicky and Lucius', and one or two with Nicky and Alex. Yes, I know they may only know each other know in the present time, buuuuttttt they have both been in accidents that resulted in memory loss sssoooooo because I want to, they knew each other before she moves with Marci. Thanks again for reading! Please vote and.maybe comment! I love you! Have a good rest of your day/night wherever it is you live!

          Sincerely, your author,
