Mila

Only two more weeks until I was officially married, I've been having some second thoughts.

Something that's supposed to be one of the biggest moments of my life and I have no control over it.

But at the same time, a part of me thinks this change might be a good one, the kids will have a chance to get to know their father even though I still have yet to tell them the truth.

The new school I put the kids in has already been a success, both Isa and Cade have made so many friends.

"I'm off for the rest of the day, did you need anything before I left?" Victoria asks and I shake my head.

"I'm fine," I wave her off. "Enjoy your evening." I smile and she smiles back before waving.

Gio walks down the stairs and into the kitchen grabbing a cup. "I'm off boss, did you need anything before I left?" Victoria asks.

"No." He says as he pours himself a drink, she nods and leaves.

We were now alone. "Do you start your days with a glass of whiskey?" I ask raising a brow.

"Only when I'm stressed." He says as he throws the shot back.

"The kids will be home soon," I say to which he looks up at me and puts the bottle away. "Thank you."

"Did you need anything from me before I left sir?" Lia walks into the kitchen and I roll my eyes as I stab my pancake.

"No." He says as he leans against the counter.

"Are you sure?" She says as she twirls a finger around her hair and I fight back the urge to scoff.

"You may leave," Gio says sternly to which she rolls her eyes and leaves.

"You should learn to be nicer to your workers," I said as I shoved my fork into my mouth.

"I don't want them getting the wrong idea." He says as he faces Me.

"A bit late for that no?" I ask referring to the time I saw Lia walking out of his room in a disheveled mess.

He raises a brow to which I shrug.

My phone chimes and I get up. "My rides here."

"Excuse me?" He asks.

"My Uber?"

"and where are you going?" He asks as I sling my bag over my shoulder.

"To the mall, the twin's birthday is coming up I have to start shopping." And with that card, he got me my kids are about to have the best birthday ever.

"No, no Ubers."

"Excuse me?" I ask.

"I'll take you, come on." He says.

"But I already paid for-"

"Cancel it and come on." He says grabbing his coat, I sigh and cancel the ride before following Gio to his car.

He starts driving towards the mall. "When's their birthday?" He asks.

"October 21st," I say and he nods.

"Mila, that's not for another month."

"I like to start early." I shrug.

As he drives I think about the fact that I'm getting married in two weeks, I knew that I'd have to tell GIO about the kids before I do that, I just don't know how to do it.

I can't stand to do it face to face.. maybe I'll write a letter?

At the mall, I buy the kids a few things for their birthday coming up and Gio pays for everything, he grabs my bags and walks out of the store with me walking beside him.
