As I wait at the airport, I see Cassian walking out with his luggage and his wife of course.

After years of being on the run from his old boss, he and Vivian haven't spent much time apart especially far away from each other. It gives them both relief to be with one another just in case.

According to Cassian, Vivian hiding away in Russia for 2 years was enough time for her to be away from him. And she never needs to be far away again.
Those were his words.

Cassian and Vivian kind of reminded me of my parents but a little less toxic love origin story. It was similar in which the men were scared to love, and where the women had eyes for them only. But changed them for the better.

It was different because my parents were born into the mafia world where Cassian and Vivian were dragged into it.

At the end, they both lived for each other since the day they started their run.

They walk up to me, as their daughter is following behind them.

Vivian and Cassian also faced fertility issues, where they ended up adopting. They adopted Aubriella last year. Aubriella was the reason why Cassian stopped helping me do my terrible acts. He wants his daughter to see him in a different light and not in a bad way. Which I respect as it reminded me of how vulnerable my mom and dad was with Rosaura.

"Vivian, Aubriella" I greet them.

Vivian smiles while Aubriella clings onto her leg.

"Aubri, you remember Reign?" Vivian says as she caresses her face.

Aubriella nods slowly.
"Yes, but he's scary mommy".

Vivian smiles awkwardly.
"Still, we have to be nice".

I look at her and I bend down a bit. I hand her a little toy, ones I saw Rosaura playing with when she was younger.

She smiles at the toy and nods.
"Hi".

I nod back.
"Hi".

Cassian looks around.
"Where will we be staying?".

I chuckle.
"With me of course. As you have heard, I own the Valentino mansion now".

They nod.
"Yes, your parents did inform us. We are proud of you by the way".

I smile.
"Thank you, now let's head there now".

Two of my men helps carry their bags as they follow me. I keep checking my phone on any updates on the Hernandez. No word yet from them.
Wonder what the hold is up.
