Two months after Regenia was taken, she's finally back in her lover's arms. The question hangs over everyone's head. What happened to her during her time away? What happened to the Romano Famiglia? All will come to light, but they are hit with a tra...

"You should come back with us," Giuseppe spoke as Zoey looked around the room with a sigh. He knew her reasons for not wanting to come to Italy, but it was in her best interest to do so. Berardo would be out for blood, and he wouldn't feel right leaving her alone. Giuseppe couldn't count on his men here, so he planned to kill them all. If they were willing to believe in Berardo, they were willing to die for him, and Giuseppe wouldn't take any chances.
"I know you think that is what's best for me, Mr. Romano—"
"Giuseppe."
"I know what's best for me, Giuseppe, but I am New York's Governor." She sighed, running her hands through her head as she looked back into the room at both of her daughters. "Give me time to resign.... Fuck. I worked so damn hard to get where I'm at. Curse Berardo for fucking up my damn state. Let me resign first... I need a month, maybe more but take Isla with you. I need to ensure she is safe, and I know you and Regenia will do that. Please make sure my daughters stay safe."
Giuseppe nodded, knowing he would do everything in his power to ensure his wife's safety, which included her sister and mother. They were his family now, but he hated leaving the woman in Manhattan alone. At the moment, they had yet to learn where Berardo was. He knew the man was alive because the fool had reached out to Shah's daughter, and he automatically called him after the call. Berardo was running thin on resources, so it was smart for him to go into hiding for a while, and it was up to him and his men to find him before he could find reinforcements.
Normally one would give up when they see they were outnumbered, but people like Berardo never quit until they were dead. He wanted something, and that something would be the end of him and whomever he brought into the fight. "Fine, I don't like this Zoey— Jacob," Giuseppe called out, causing the man to arch a brow before walking over.
"If this is about some bullshit G, don't fucking include me, dawg."
"Do everything have to be about bullshit J?" He asked, making the man smirk before looking at Zoey with a genuine smile. "I'm going to pretend I don't see you eye-raping my wife's mother, and I'm going regret asking you to look after her until she resigns."
"Shit dawg, Governor Sexy, don't need to resign when she has me to look after her. I can take care of her... good care of her."
"What the fuck do I look like to you?" Zoey asked, making Giuseppe chuckle at her attitude. On the other hand, Jacob took it as a challenge as he stepped forward, placing his hand on her waist. "Like a woman in charge, who I can bend to my will—"
"ALRIGHT! The two of you can get nasty after we leave— but not in my house. Zoey, I will take care of Isla...."
"Make sure she enrolls in a college!" She yelled, pushing Jacob to the side to give Giuseppe a stare. One he knew too well. Zoey was threatening him, and he could see it was important to her, so he nodded. "I'll make sure she enrolls in Italy's top college— Jacob, keep her safe. I don't want my wife to lose another parent. Especially after she just found her birth mother."
