That's Amore - Michael Corleone

𝐃𝐮𝐞

Ever since the wedding Antonella couldn't seem to be rid of the Corleone family. From Connie inviting her out to Mama Corleone asking her over for dinner on Sundays along with her father but sometime Antonella wouldn't be able to make it since recently she acquired a job as a nurse working at a hospital and Catholic private school. She spent her time praying and helping patients, or children so most Sundays she couldn't make it.

But she always sends her regards. In fact, despite Antonella being rather reluctant to hang out with Connie, she rather enjoyed it since they actually had a lot in common and got along very well. With Antonella invites Connie and her husband, but mostly Connie over to her father's restaurant or her home for dinner. They even went shopping a lot with Connie being the only one to enjoy that. But all was well still.

Such as tonight with the holidays right around the corner. Antonella was working as many overnight shifts at the hospital to save up for gifts. And tonight was a simple night.

She walked around giving patients their medicine as well as doing check-ups on them to make sure they were ok.

"Toni why aren't you out with a boyfriend or family for the holidays?" Antonella's coworker Miranda started.

Antonella laughed at her comment," Well I will be with family but a boyfriend I think not. I have a lot of time so everything will be fine. I just have a lot of time to share so why not make money. "

"I guess but your young younger than me so why haven't a pretty girl like you got a boyfriend yet," Miranda asked as Antonella thought.

"Well...maybe because my father's always been so protective of me and his friends...uh I can't just date anyone. Besides I'm young I'll find someone when I'm ready," Antonella shrugged as Miranda listened.

Then did sirens and bells go off in the hospital with many doctors going by and as Antonella looked she saw Vito Corleone.

He had been shot.

Antonella quickly went to assist the doctors leaving Miranda there confused.

Antonella made sure she worked every night shift at the hospital out of a favor from her father to make sure Vito was not harmed and to make sure no one knew if he was dead or alive. For if word got out then he would be good as dead.

So Antonella took care and watched over Vito making his meals and even staying in his room at times and when he wanted space she would leave but she made sure all was well. And for that Vito admired her a lot.

Even on her off days, she made sure Vito was ok and no one was to get in not even on the floor his room was at. Many staff members grew suspicious as to why Antonella was being so protective over the criminal. Was she related to him or had ties to the mob boss.

Antonella sat there eating her lunch which simply consisted of a sandwich and while waiting she would check Mr. Corleone's vitals or read to him. He preferred for her to sing to him though so she sung to him in Italian. All while making sure he was comfortable and safe.
