A Life I Never Knew

Chapter 19

Tony Pov

When I found out that the Russo's were taking Luna to the mall I suggested to Leonardo to make sure the place is evacuated. I couldn't have my dolce angelo (sweet angel) panic over those messy mall dwellers rubbing against her.

When we arrived at the mall her adorable reaction nearly made me buy the building just to see those eyes glimmer with fascination again.

I overheard one of her brothers telling her that Leonardo came up with the idea of evacuating the mall so she could shop comfortably.

Leonardo shoots me a knowing grin and proceeds to take big strides beside Luna as if he's proud to be an idea thief. I'll let him have this one but in the end I'll make her smile the brightest.

My dolce angelo was like a deer in headlights as we wheeled her around different stores. Everything was new to her and if she liked or disliked something it showed on her face. It was cute. I soon found out that she could put together nice outfits it's like she was born to be a fashionista or something. Technology on the other hand still needed work.

With tons upon tons of clothes and other things we made our way back to the mansion. Stupidly I realized that I had only briefly introduced myself before so I felt that reintroduction was appropriate.

As soon as my eyes laid on her and I started to speak I could see the shade of pink creep onto her cheeks.

How adorable. Nervous are we? I've honestly never been around someone so innocent. She was like a myth you read in fairytales.

I wanted her to know that she could trust me and ask me for anything and she shall receive it. Since she was shy I didn't expect her to have a request so soon. The request was easy for me but one look at the Russo men and I could tell they were holding back.

They probably can't understand my dolce angelo she is kind and even though her mother gave her a hard life she loved that woman. It's hard for me to understand as well but that's what makes Luna who she is. She's a beautiful soul who can see the light in the darkest of places.

My dolce angelo fell asleep on the ride she must be tired from all the shopping. Pulling into the driveway of the mansion I made sure to be the one to pick her up and carry her out of the car.

"You know she's my sorella you don't need to touch her so candidly" Marcello said giving me a look that could kill.

She's my dolce angelo so get used to it. Is what I wanted to say.

"She was already asleep since she was sitting right next to me it's easier this way" I said as I made my into the house with her in my arms. Once again the burning feeling of eyes on my back was there.

"Something's up with him" I could hear Mattia say before I was out of earshot.

Oh ragazzo if they only knew (oh boy).

Opening the door to her room my nose is hit her fragrance. I lay her down on the bed and place blankets over her. Brushing pieces of loose hair from her face I take a moment to admire her beauty. It's truly amazing how someone can come into your life and change everything.

Leaving her to rest I head to my own room in the mansion but not before I'm stopped by Leonardo's mother. What could she want with me? I have a lot of respect for her so I politely greet her.

"Hello, how can I help you" I say trying to be polite.

"Is there something you'd like to tell me" she said as she crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.

"I'm not sure what you mean ma'am" I didn't know what she meant.

"The way you look at my nipotina I can tell you feel something for her. Now tell me exactly what that is" she said as she held a dagger to my throat. Her actions were swift it was my first time seeing her use her martial arts skills.
