I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away.
"You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly.
"Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who l...

Father.
I was going to be a father.
My wife was pregnant, with my child. With our child, and if that didn't rock my world upside down, I would be lying to myself.
"What the fuck is wrong with him?" Jake turned to Stuart who was right next to me when she had called and knew what had happened, and since then, I was frozen.
"Is it true, Ace? Is she....?" He trailed off when I clutched my phone tighter in my hands.
"È vero." (It's true) I said when his eyes widened when Jake shook me, knocking me out of my temporary daze as I blinked twice.
"What the fuck is wrong with you too? What was she saying? Is she alright?" Jake asked worried as I turned to Luca.
"She sent a signal, did you get it?" I asked and he nodded immediately.
"We got a location. It's a miracle the signal reached so far. She's on the other side of the country so I also traced the call to get a better location." He said and I nodded.
"Prepara i nostri uomini, presto, dobbiamo raggiungerla il prima possibile." I ordered Jake who nodded, but stood right where he was as he waited for me to tell me what had happened, along with my uncles.
(Get our men ready, quick, we need to get to her as soon as possible.)
"Diventerò padre." (I'm going to be a father) I said and everyone's eyes widened in surprise before Jake looked at me seriously.
"That puts her in more danger, especially since she's carrying your child." He said solemnly and I nodded, running my hands over my face.
"I know, which is why we have to hurry up. All the traitors, did you get them?" I asked Matteo who nodded.
"Certo, capo, ognuno di loro è stato smascherato e alcuni sono a una riunione a casa di Francesco". He said when my jaw clenched.
(Sure did boss, every last one of them has been exposed and a few are at a meeting at Francesco's house.)
"Catturateli, ma non uccidete nessuno. Mi occuperò di loro tutto da solo. Stuart, come sta tua moglie?" I asked turning to my cousin who nodded.
(Capture them, but don't kill anyone. I'll deal with them all myself. Stuart, how's your wife?)
"She's well, and... uh... Adrianna's also pregnant." He said rubbing the back of his neck.
