My Temptatious Mobster (Book Two)✔️

26. Chapter Twenty-Six.

"Val?"

"Si bambina?"
(Yes, baby girl?")

"Don't you think you might've gone a little overboard with Isabella's room? I mean it's gorgeous and all but very much extravagant. An extra-large room that has two cribs one of which is air a balloon, plus a bed, two closets and not to mention a fireplace." I exclaimed.

"If you don't like it then I can have the rugs and curtains removed." I bit my lip to stop myself from doubling over with laughter.

How was removing the curtains and rugs going to make the room less extravagant? When in reality they were the only things in this room that weren't extravagant.

Viola scoffed alerting her presence behind us with a playful Isabella in her arms.

"Of course, why not have the curtains and rugs removed which were the only things that I had a say in. Everything else you did on your own while keeping me out it of the loop and now you'd like to have them removed too." She fleered at him before leaving.

"How long have you and Viola been planning this behind my back? And did Sergio know about it as well?" I asked intrigued.

"It was a week before Sergio and decided to find your father. I realized once your father was dead for good, you'd leave. I requested for my father to have Sergio take control over the business plus I had already bought this home a few months back for you and my daughter. It was supposed to be a gift." He explained.

Valentino had planned all of this in such a short period of time while keeping everything a secret and Sergio knew about it yet kept quiet all along!

"You say the word business as if your family is running something legal...... now that I think about it what do you and your family do for a living?" This was a question that should've been asked a long time ago.

"Do you really want to know Micetta?" Valentino pulled to sit on his lap while he sat on the sofa.

"Yes, I want to how rich are you and what the hell do you for a living?" I questioned after finding out that not only did he by my and Isabella's a luxurious home but also bought the entire piece of island as well.

I watched as he smiled at me. Something I would never get used to.

I remembered how he had managed to get me a new name, handed me a huge chunk of cash, got me access to Visa's and passport and even financial institution without even batting an eyelash.

Obviously, he was super rich with connections.

"I'm sure your second question is self-explanatory Micetta and in terms of your first questions we are both somewhat more than billionaires." He half explained leaving me flabbergasted.

Billionaire?!

"But you still haven't answered my questions Valentino. Are you hiding things from me? Oh my god, do you traffic woman and kids?!" I gasped desperately waiting for him to dismiss my thoughts.

"My family and I are against harming woman and children but no, our family doesn't do human trafficking micetta. Apart from illegal firearms trafficking, illegal gambling rings, drug dealings and underground rings, a few businesses, we also own a large number of shares, stocks and bonds investments, and we have very high connections." Valentino explained waiting for my reaction.

"Oh." I didn't know whether to be upset or to be upset that I had even asked.

In spite of leaving the mafia Valentino still handled the financial part of the mafia. He hadn't given it all up completely for his brother to be overburdened with everything, but it was the least he could do since walking away from a life of crime.

I knew what I was getting myself into before so this shouldn't be upsetting or a surprise for me.

Even though Valentino deals with what he calls the financial aspect I'm just glad he was far away from his past life and that Isabella, and I have him for ourselves.

Now that I think about it, he did make a drastic decision in his life for the sake of Isabella and me.

"I'm a little intrigued to know if it was your idea to take pictures of Isabella and have them framed?" I decided to change the topic.

"It was Viola's idea. I thought it would've been something you'd have liked to see as well. Her tiny body did light up the whole entire room. I'm awed at the hands of my own creation, she's more than beautiful. The moment I held her in my arms I felt an agonizing need to protect her just as with you. She's so pure and so innocent and so lovable." Valentino spoke as if in another dimension.

Awe! No wonder why I fell in love with him.

"It's that special bond. She's going to adore you." I smiled.

"You've changed so much Valentino. Sergio even gave me a photo that you picked up on the way to eliminating Romano." I voiced basking in this moment.

"I thought you'd also like to have something to remember your mother by." He was starting to take into consideration what I would like from what I wouldn't.

"I find it absolutely unbelievable that you're the same Valentino I had met before at first."

"I do find it unbelievable at times myself but then remembered how I found a very peculiar girl who I immediately grew a weird fascination for." I laughed hearing this.

I'm so glad I fought for him. I don't know what I'd ever do if something bad were to ever happen to him again.

"I thought you were dead at one point." I recalled days ago how he was flat out in a coma. It was the most vulnerable I had ever felt in a long time.

"I heard you went on a tirade and almost killed your stepsisters along with Romano. Do me a favor and stay away from all guns unless you're in a dire situation where I'm dead and that will never happen Micetta." He reasoned.

"It was a dire situation Val. You were in a coma almost lifeless; I was scared and didn't know what to do. I even almost lost...." Remembering how I almost lost Isabella brought tears to my eyes.

I was pulled into Valentino's chest as he comforted me by rubbing my back before I pulled away from him.

"Don't you ever do that to me or Isabella again." I slapped him on the shoulder.

"I swear on my life I will never ever put you and my daughter in any danger ever again baby girl." Valentino promised before sealing his words with a kiss to my lips.
