Valentina, Messiah, and Xavier walk into the living area with huge smiles on their faces, I'm assuming it's done. Viktor is finally dead and now we can move on with our lives.

"We should celebrate." Our grandfather says walking in with a couple of bottles of tequila.

Shot glasses are handed around the room and tequila gets poured, we all raise our shots in the air before downing them.

"Now what?" I ask, looking around the room, wanting to know what everyone plans on doing now that Viktor is out of the picture.

"Unfortunately we have to leave first thing in the morning." Alejandro sighs.

"You're leaving already?" Val asks, sadness seeping through her tone.

"We are, I have a mafia to run back home Mija." He explains, looking just as sad as she does right now.

"We are leaving tomorrow as well —" Ivan announces, "it's time for us to return to Russia." He says, looking at his wife lovingly and in awe.

"I will be flying out tomorrow also, Emèlia will be coming home with me but Andrè is staying for a while. Would you mind if he lives with you for a while?" Luis asks dad, who smiles at him before saying that's it okay for him to stay with us.

Great another male in the house twenty-four-seven, if it isn't bad enough already. I think the only sane person in the house is Valentina and that's saying something, I wouldn't change it for the world though I love all my brothers they can be extremely annoying.

When Nathaniel joined our family not much changed it was like he was always part of the family, I'm not sure what it's going to be like with Andrè living under our roof but I guess we'll see.

Valentina looks at Alec, hurt. Maybe he promised her something when they went off for their private chat, whatever it is I hope they fix it before he leaves.

"I'll be back in a couple of months, I'll keep in touch I promise," Alec promises, sadly smiling at Valentina who sighs but nods nonetheless.

"We too are leaving tomorrow. We were going to stay but I think it's better if we go back home and take care of business in Italy while you all hold down the fort here." Uncle Mario says, his sons nodding in agreement.

Valentina's face drops, she knows what's coming next. Her eyes wander to Gianni's and tears start to build, I can see the wheels turning in her head.

"We're leaving tomorrow as well —" Aunt Nina chokes out, "we will visit a lot though, no need to worry Valentina Hunny."

"Please don't say it," Val whispers looking at Uncle Emilio and Aunt Elisa.

They both glance at Gianni with smiles, "we're staying Valentina Hunny, we haven't seen Gianni this happy in a long time." Aunt Elisa murmurs.
