Finding Happiness

Chapter Twenty Six

Clarissa's POV:

"Mafia?" Carol asked.

"How about you guys explain to each other who you are," Eduardo suggested and we all looked at him then looked back at each other.

I sighed, "I'm the princess of the Romano mafia and the Black Sky assassin," I said and Carol's eyes widened.

"Our dads used to work together but then my dad decided to not get involved with the mafia," she explained and I nodded trying to understand everything. How did I not notice when I went to visit him and how did they not have money for the treatment, this is weird.

"Ummm, if you're wondering how we couldn't afford the treatment, actually the French mafia has been threatening us to work with them against you guys but we didn't agree so they took everything from us, all our men left to work with other gangs and we have a small house that we live in," she said and I shook my head in frustration.

I glanced at Eduardo and he had his fists clenched. "Anyways, that doesn't answer who did this to you," Vic said pointing at my wounded stomach.

"The French," I said shrugging while caressing Mila's hair, who's still sleeping.

"Who's this cute baby?" Carol asked looking at Mila and I smiled.

"That's Mila, Eduardo's sister who's the don of the Russian mafia," I said and they glanced at him and smiled, he nodded in return.

"How are you feeling?" Vic got up and checked on my wound. "It was hurting a little bit but I asked the nurses to give me painkillers," I said and she nodded.

"That's good, did you get your breakfast?" I shook my head at her. "I'm not hungr-" I was cut off by Vic.

"I'm getting it now, you have to eat or I'll strain you to the bed and feed you forcefully," she said glaring at me while everyone looked at her amused.

She left the room and Carol got out files from her bag, "I know this isn't time for it, but you need to sign these for the fashion show, everything is going as planned and I'm doing everything you told me to," she said making me smile.

"Thanks, Carol, I really appreciate it," I said and she shook her head smiling, "Just put them on the table please," I said and she put them on it and grabbed her bag standing up.

"I have to go take care of the work, get well soon and please call me if you need anything," she said and I nodded smiling at her.

"Call me if something happens," I said and she nodded leaving. I sighed closing my eyes, then I felt someone caressing my cheek, I opened my eyes and saw Eduardo looking at me adoringly, I smiled at him and leaned to his touch.

"Everything is so weird and overwhelming," I said and he nodded, "So many things are happening that we didn't expect," he said.

I felt a movement next to me and looked at Mila, she's waking up, she rubbed her eyes and looked at us. I smiled at her.

"How did my butterfly sleep?" I asked her and she smiled brightly at me, "Butterfly?" she asked and I nodded.

"Of course, don't you see how beautiful butterflies are and how happy they make people when they enter a room, just like you are, my beautiful butterfly," I said and she hugged me tightly.

I hugged her back kissing her cheeks. She pulled away and lunged on Eduardo who was looking at us adoringly.

"Eddy, can you and Laris get married so she can be my sissy?" she asked making our eyes widen, Eduardo cleared his throat and was about to say something when the door opened making us sigh in relief.
