A Life I Never Knew

Chapter 38

After an extended weekend at the Villa my nonna, aunt and I went back home.

A week has gone by and I haven't seen Tony because I have been ignoring him.

Since I've known about the family business my dad told me I'd be introduced to the mafia world.

There was no duties to upload, my existence alone made me powerful. That was shocking to digest, I don't necessarily feel powerful but I do feel stronger than I have in the past.

I'm nervous about going to a party with hundreds of people. I want to make a good impression on the people who admire my family. The party is tonight, nonna and I have been preparing all day.

My nonna is a diva in all her glory, and I can definitely count on her when it comes to fashion. Of course she pulled out all the stops by calling in her favorite designers and her make up crew.

Within minutes our living room was filled with dresses, shoes, jewelry and bags. Her make up and hair crew set up as well. We tried on countless outfits before settling on something perfect.

I wanted to look stunning, I picked a long silk red dress that came to my feet, straps on the shoulders, and a heart shaped back. It was sexy yet classy, and it fit like a glove. My hair was down with beautiful loose curls, I put a diamond hairpin on the side pinning some of it up. My make up was natural and light, highlighting my natural features. My nonna gifted me with her beautiful diamond necklace, bracelet and earrings. I slipped on a beautiful pair of red heels and tossed my phone into red my clutch.

"Il mio bambina you look bellissima," my nonna said spinning me around to get a 360 view of me.

"Thank you nonna, you look amazing as well, nonno will faint will he sees you," I teased her.

"Hahaha he will won't he," she said checking herself out in the mirror.

My nonna was a beautiful woman, I could just imagine how stunning she was when she was my age.

"Shall we go downstairs, I'm sure the boys are waiting," She said.

"Yes," I said.

It's my first time walking in heels so I was stumbling at first, but I got the hang of them quickly. These shoes are too beautiful to change!

Stopping at the top of the stairs nonna and I are greeted with loud shouts and applause from the boys.

"Woo hoooo! Look at my wife and piccolo," My noono said. I look over at my nonna and she's blushing.

They are so adorable, I thought.

"Dolcezza, you look absolutely stunning," my dad said as he climbed the stairs to me.

My nonno followed behind him taking my nonna's hand helping her down the stairs.

Everyone looked amazing, my brothers are here and they looked like princes.

"La mia sorellina, you are gorgeous I'll have to keep an eye out tonight," Marcello said.

"Thank brother, you're looking cool as ever," I said.

"Red suits you tesoro, you look magnifica," Mattia said.

"Thank you, you look handsome as well," I said.

"Perfetta," Gio said.

"Squisita," Alessandro said. (Exquisite).

"Celeste," Andrea said. (Heavenly).

By now I was red from all the compliments.

"Thank you, everyone looks amazing tonight." I said.

I secretly looked around half hoping and dreading to see Tony. When he didn't show up I didn't know rather to feel disappointed or relieved.
