Chapter.12

Marcella's POV:

It was around 12:30 am, all the students from our school left. Only family friends, business partners and some well known people of Layla's parents stayed. Everyone sat on their registered tables and waited for the announcement Mr and Mrs Young held.

"lady and gentlemen please may I have your attention" Dante spoke on the mic drawing everyones attention to him, they whole place quite down and showed respect to Dante as he spoke. I smiled and got off my seat knowing what he is about to do now "Where are you going" Marcello asked holding my wrist, where did he come from?

"hold on I will be back" I quickly grabbed Layla's arm and took her to the stage, Dante came and helped her up the stairs taking her to the stage, I showed thumbs up to him and quickly walked back to our table.
"What's going on?" Marcello whispered, "where were you?" I ignored his question. "Oh I was feeling a bit sick so I just came here, couldn't be asked with parties" I nodded and looked at the stage as Dante spoke.

"Layla, I don't know where to start from..." he scratched the back of his neck in nervousness, "first of all happy birthday my dear glorious girl, I hope you had fun and wish you all the best of luck in the future. And Uhm" he took a deep breath and looked at me, I grin slightly and nodded understanding his nervousness. "Layla, I don't know how or when this feeling I got for you but from the day I saw I felt a connection with you which I have never thought I would feel towards anyone. You are that one special girl who I want to wake up next to everyone, you are that one girl who I wanna love and take care of, you are that one girl who means the whole world to me, you are that first and last girl to be the one who stole my heart" he made a crying face as he said she stole his heart making all of us laugh.

Ares and dad face palmed, "how is this guy a mafia empire" Ares mumbled, "there is so much more I wanna say to you, there is no end of my love for you, I don't want to waste any more time. Layla would you consider being my girlfriend?" Layla blushed and nodded quickly without any hesitation. "No fucking way" Jason and Marcello's jaw hung open. "He really had the guts to do this huh?" Ace uttered looking like a proud brother

Dante place the mic down quickly and picked her up spinning her around while smiling widely. "You knew?" Marcello asked still looking shocked, I nodded not moving my eyes off my happy brother and friend.

Everyone shouted congratulations and sattle back down. Layla and Dante was about to make their way back to our table when her dad stopped Layla, Dante came back and sat down not talking to anyone, we all chuckled and began to listen to Mr. Young as he announces something he has been waiting all night to do so.

"Hello everyone, hope you all having a wonderful time. Todays celebration it's really special because my daughter just turned 18 so happy birthday once's again dear" Everyone clapped their hands, "everyone here might or might not know but I'm about to announce something which will shook everyone, so far we have been known as the Young LTD company's owners, but there is another part of us which no one knows. I would happily like to reveal that we are that Young family who held the Russian and Italian mafias." her dad exclaimed leaving everyone in shocks

"What?" I looked at Marcello who was avoiding eye contact with me, "Please my son come to the stage and my dear wife as well", they both got up and walked towards the stage, I looked at Dad and Ares trying to find answer so they knew about them this whole time and didn't say anything to me, especially Layla.

I was shocked as fuck, I was sitting there like a statue, what the hell did i just hear? I mean I'm happy for them? Wait no what?
I'm so lost...

"Another reason why this day is very special to me and my family is because since my dear daughter just turned 18, she has officially became our family's first ever Mafia empire of Italians and Russians mafia"
