Innocent Love

Epilogue

Athena was confused about what was happening. Ezra was looking at her and waiting. 
"What's happening?" Asks Athena.
"Oh, nothing. Just waiting for you to jump off the cliff" says Mateo.
"Why would I do that?" Asks Athena.
"Because you don't want to face them," says Mateo and Athena sees a few mafia leaders approaching them.
"They are friends," says Athena.
"Friends don't cheat," says a Russian mafia leader.
"Or invite to die on. I mean, can't we just have like one party without anyone dying?" Says Romaro Lombardi, mafia leader of America.

Everyone turns to look at Romaro and he says "What? It's cold and I am hungry. Die already Athena 'cause I smelt chocolate from the kitchen and my princess doesn't let me eat chocolate and ..."
"Oh my god. Shut up. A woman is trying to kill herself" says Mateo.
"Fine. Hurry" says Romaro.

Athena was shivering with anxiety and said "I don't want to die. Please, forgive me. I'll return the money I stole. I'll leave this business"
"It's sad to force someone to die but so fun to watch," laughs Romaro.
"Mateo please," says Athena and approaches him. She hugs him and pulls his gun out from his back pocket. She points the gun at Mateo and says "You spineless asshole"
She was about to pull the trigger but Ezra pushed her and she stumbled back to the edge of the cliff, losing the grip of the gun and throwing it away.
"You won't change Athena," says Mateo and pushes on her shoulder, throwing her off the cliff.

Mateo watches Athena hit the bottom and feels Ezra stand beside him.
"She wanted to be buried in a golden casket," says Mateo and continues "but she wanted to leave me to rot in the open. So, fuck her"
"No, we do what she wanted," says Ezra and continues "no matter what. She was my mother"
"You are a good boy," says Mateo and continues "Go leave with Arturo and your wife. No need to introduce yourself to anyone"
Ezra turns to look at the mafia leader and Romaro.
The Russian mafia leader says "I don't care who works with me. I only care about money"
"That's good. I say the same but technically I don't work at all. My sons run the whole business. I am here just to get away from them" says Romaro.
"Your son is scary," says the Russian mafia leader.
"You heard it from the most feared mafia leaders of the world," says Romaro.
"How bad can they be?" Asks Arturo.
"One boy likes to turn people to juice and another kills with his presence," says a Russian leader.
"Yeah, they are bad. You will love them" says Romaro and Ezra looks at Mateo concerned.
"Mateo knows how to run a business. Come on. We all tried to keep you away from this, especially Lucia" says Arturo and pulls Ezra away. Ezra turns to look at Mateo who is smiling a sad smile at him. Arturo had Lea in one hand and Ezra in the other. All leave the island and head back to the mansion.

"So you didn't kill my father," says Lea once they reach the mansion.
"I had been trying for years to reach Athena but failed. Even Musa couldn't take me there. So, I had to do everything and anything to reach her" says Ezra.
"Any more revenge stories you hiding or can we move on to our happily ever after?" Asks Lea.
"No more revenge," says Ezra and kisses Lea.
"There are people in the room," says Arturo.
Lea and Ezra break the kiss and turn to look at Arturo.
"I saw you fall in the water," says Lea.
"I am a good swimmer and the blood was a prop," says Arturo.
"Now what?" Asks Ezra.
"You have my daughter, my inheritance, my businesses, my money. All I ask in return is forgiveness" says Arturo.
"You are alive. Take that as forgiveness" says Ezra.
"And people wonder why I don't like this boy. I still say, you should have waited and looked for a better guy" says Arturo to Lea.
"I love him and anyways, I like my bad boy," says Lea.
"And we will be making a lot of bad boys and naughty girls," says Ezra and kisses Lea's lips. He picks her up bridal style and says to Arturo "How about you go and make arrangements for your wedding and I'll love your daughter"
"Gross. And yes, I am marrying my physiotherapist" says Arturo, and Lea says "I am going to get a new mommy"

A week later...

Mateo was in his office, in the mansion of his Island when Musa walked into the office.
"Hello, old friend. What brings you by?" Asks Mateo and Musa smiles. He turns to look back at the doorway and Mateo looks at what Musa was looking at. Mateo stands up from his place and smiles seeing Ezra.
"I couldn't leave you alone. Especially after knowing about the Lombardi family. They seem... extreme" says Ezra.
"Everyone is afraid of them. They are unpredictable and heartless. They kill people without remorse or flinch at the sight of blood" says Musa.
Mateo smiles and says "I couldn't  have asked for more. My son worrying for me. You bring so much strength to me" and hugs Ezra.
He breaks the hug and says "Ready to meet the Lombardis?"
"Not really but won't let you meet them alone," says Ezra and Mateo with Musa laugh.

Ready for the Lombardis?
