SICILY, ITALY
EIGHT MONTHS LATER

"Enzo she is so beautiful, when do we get to meet her?"
"You starting to sound like mom" Enzo sighs and puts his phone in his back pocket.
He was telling me about his girlfriend, while we relaxed by the pool in the main Morelli castle, when I first got here I thought this family was too much into the whole mafia royalty thing and the castle was too dramatic, but I understood why they needed such a big place later on, as Emilio explained, it's not wise to have your army far away from you, an enemy can attack any time and I have seen it first hand.
Enzo and his girl Katherine have been together for a year and he has been keeping it a secret because of our lifestyle, I was a little hurt that he kept it from me too but I did my best to not make it about me and try to understand where he was coming from, this life isn't for everyone.
"You guys want anything?" Brad asks as he got out of the swimming pool.
"Please bring me ice," I tell him.
"No" both he and Enzo said at the same time
"Seriously, she is big now and she's the one who wants it" I try to argue, rubbing my huge belly.
"I'm not letting you freeze my niece lady, what's wrong with you," Brad says being dramatic as always and Enzo nodded his head in agreement, I huffed and crossed my arms ignoring them.
"When are you due?" Enzo asks
"Next month, January 18th"
"I hope she comes out now so we can have 3 birthdays in December, oooh the parties I would through in this castle for her," Brad says eyes closed, possibly imagining my house full of teenage kids, I grimace at the thought.
"I'm going to leave the family" Enzo suddenly says.
I choke on my spit and reach next to my bench for water, while Brad screamed "Say what!".
"I am leaving the Family soon, and no you guys can not talk me out of it," he says sternly.
"Are you doing it for Her?' Bradly growled angrily
"Brad, please calm down," I tell him
"Yes," Enzo says looking down and I sighed,
This was the last thing I needed today, we agreed to relax and catch up, the three of us hadn't made time for a break since we got back from Milan, Brad was busy with the security detail, and Enzo went to the base in New York, and I was busy with my project, 3 years ago I had started a foundation I named " I am the law" based on my book.
After I became Mrs. Morelli, I didn't have much to do, the idea of being a housewife was not one I was ok with, so I started writing, at first I was just writing my feelings down as a way of coping with my demons, those feelings ended up telling a story, my story, I decided to be open about everything and share my experiences with the world, how unsafe women and children are even men, I wrote the book to raise awareness about the hidden world of trafficking and the corrupted people we call our leaders, I had to keep the mafia out of it though, because of the code of silence, Omerta, the law was never on my side so I survived by creating my own rules, living by my laws.
The book was published in my name but not as Morelli but Sonto, and it has made me a fortune, not needing it for myself I started a foundation, I built a home for men, women, and children, who suffered similar experiences to mine, people who wanted a second chance at living but this was not just a home, it was also a training facility, people in there were trained to be soldiers, train to protect themselves against any, and all evil, by all means necessary, the ones who wish to do so could join the mafia but the others who choose a different path, usually end up in the police force, etc.
