After the ceremony, the entire Ricci Family returned to the Ricci Family estate to celebrate.

"You are an official member of the Ricci family, cara" Vera says happily to me.

"Thank you, Mrs. Ricci,"

"Oh for heaven's sake call me mama," she says pulling me into a big bear hug.

"Awww," a group all elder women walked up to them and joined them in the hug.

The other women disbursed and pulled Vera away to conversations of their own.

I walk over to Arensio who is speaking with Luca and Giovanni. "Ah, there she is!" Giovanni calls out.

Arensio and Luca turn around towards her. A small smile formed on Arensio's face and I took notice of that and it made me feel joyful. I don't know why

"How are you feeling?" Giovanni asked her.

"Umm not much different," I said.

"Well that's to be expected but now you are officially a part of the family," he said.

"To Valencia!," he announced and raised his glass

"To Valencia!" everyone else in the room repeated and raised their own glass for a toast.

I look over behind Arensio and saw a group of men heading our way. Giovanni must have seen them as well because he alerted arensio.

"Arensio!" a short tan-skinned man called out. Arensio turned around and greeted him. there were two more men that stood behind the short man and they greeted Giovanni and Arensio before they turned their attention to me.

"Wow, you are beautiful," a taller man with pure white hair and sun-kiss skin said to me. He seemed to be in his 50s and look to be well-built.

He hold out his hand for me to take and I did. "Thank you," I say as he brings my hand to his lip and sloppy kiss my knuckles. I slowly pull my hand away from his and wipe my hand on my dress.

"Sorry my dear, I'm Mario Ricci. Arensio uncle." He stated.

"Very nice to meet you," I say back to him. Arensio walks up next to me and pulled me closer to him by my waist.

The other two men walked closer to us. "Valencia Gomez, Arensio you chose a good one," the man on the right side said. He was a bit taller than me and he look similar to Arensio except for the fact that he has a few fine lines and wrinkles but he looked really good for his age.

"Thank you, grandfather, I knew she was the one since the moment saw her," he says to him.

"Hmmph," the man on the left groaned. He was shorter the Arensio's grandfather but still taller than me. He had black and white hair and his face seem sunken as if he hadn't gotten any sleep in days.
