PETRA RAMIREZ

As I looked at the positive pregnancy test, I could feel an overwhelming feeling. I was scared and nervous. This is my third pregnancy, and I don't know why I'm so scared.

I should be feeling excited, normally I would be happy but I'm just scared. My luck with having kids is bad, I went from having almost three but then the other two are dead.

I took a deep breath before opening the door to let Kylie in, she walked in shutting the door behind her quickly.

"Results?" She asked.

I turned to face her before backing to the toilet and sitting down on it, "It's positive."

Kylie sat down on the rim of the bathtub before grabbing my hand, we just sat in silence for a few moments to process this news.

XAVIER ROMANO

Eliana and her friends are currently watching Rio Two, I was sitting in between her and her little friend Damien. The moment when he walked into the house, I knew he was going to be in trouble.

Damien tried to talk to Eliana throughout the movie but I would turn to look at him and he would stop, no man is good enough for my little girl, plus she's too young.

"Xavier,'' Elijah whispers, making my attention go to him as his head is poking through the theater doors.

I rolled my eyes before getting up from my seat, I turned to Damien and pointed a finger at him before walking out of the room.

"What? I have to get in there before little Damien starts to flirt with Eliana." I told him.

A concerned expression goes on his face, "You're kidding me right?"

I shake my head.

"You're the boss of the Italian and Sicilian Mafia, yet you're fighting with a seven-year-old?" He questioned with his hands crossed over his chest.

I stand there as his words sink in, "Eliana is my princess and no man will ever be enough for her."

Elijah shakes his head before saying, "Well, your mother needs you."

I furrowed my brows, "Why?"

"Just go." He says as he starts walking.

We made it to my conference room, where my mother, father, Carlos, Axel, and Elena were in the room. Kylie and Derek weren't nowhere to be seen, but Camille and Valentina went to the warehouse.

"Figlio." My mom says with a worried look on her face, "We need to talk."

I furrow my brows and nod my head, I sit down in my chair and I lean back, "What do we need to talk about, Ma?"

My mother looks at my father in silence before looking at everyone in the room as my father speaks up, "We need to tell you something.''

"What is it?" Elena asked.

My mom lets out a sigh, "Well, you guys are aware that the masquerade ball is coming soon."

"Yeah, but that's in about seven months. What does that have to do with anything?" Carlos asked.

"When Xavier was twelve he ended the lives of the Colombo family." My father tells us as I raise an eyebrow.

Memories of that night came to me, which was the night I almost died as well.

My dad shakes his head, "Ever since that night, the rest of the Colombo family went ghost and we are aware that they are still on the move."

"Yeah, we have been trying to figure out where they have been." I remind him with a small smirk on my face.
