FIVE YEARS LATER 🤍

"Now that you're out of prison, what are you planning to do next?" Isabella asked, her eyes curious.

Matteo paused for a moment, taking a deep breath. "I just want to reflect on my life,So much has happened."

"So, how are you doing?" Matteo asked.

"I'm doing pretty good, actually," Isabella said, a small smile on her face. "Things are going well."

Matteo nodded, looking pleased. "That's great to hear," he said. Then, after a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Are you married now?"

Isabella's smile faded a bit, and she hesitated before answering. "No, I'm not."

"Why?"

"I guess I just haven't found the right person yet I haven't found the person I want to spend my life with."

"I'm sorry to hear that,I hope you find that person someday."

"Thanks," Isabella said, giving him a small smile. "I'm not giving up hope yet."

Matteo smiled back, his eyes warm. "You shouldn't,"

"What about you?"

"I'm not sure,I'm not sure how she feels about me."

"Then you should ask her! You'll never know unless you ask."

Matteo hesitated, his mind racing. "Do you think that's a good idea? What if I ruin everything?"

Isabella reached out and put a hand on his arm. "You won't ruin anything,"

"Then I'll ask her right away,"

"Better yet, call her!" Isabella said, her eyes bright.

Matteo looked at her, his heart racing. He took a deep breath, then reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone and dialed Isabella's number.

"Isabella," Matteo said, forcing looking at her . "Will you be my girlfriend?"

There was a long pause on the other end of the line. Then, finally, Isabella spoke. "I... I don't know what to say"

They stood there, looking at each other, neither one saying a word.
★★★
Two kids were running around the house, laughing and giggling as they chased each other.

"Liam! Lilly! Stop!" Chiara called out, chasing after them. "You two need to stop!"

"No way!" Liam yelled back, still running. "Momma can't catch us!"

"We're too fast!" Lilly added, giggling

"I said stop!" Chiara yelled again, getting more and more exasperated. The kids were running around like wild animals, and she was starting to get tired.

Suddenly, the kids came to a screeching halt. In front of them stood Alessandro,with his arms folded across his chest and a stern look on his face.

"Hey, you two rascals," Alessandro said

"Uh-oh," Lilly said, her voice small.

"Quick, let's run the other way!" Liam exclaimed, already turning on his heel.

But it was too late. Chiara had come up behind them and was blocking their way. The kids were trapped.

"I told you we should've gone the other way!" Lilly yelled at Liam, her face flushed.

"I'm sorry, sis, I didn't think Mom would catch us." Liam said, looking contrite

"Well, you were both wrong,, Now, come here right now." Chiara said

The kids shuffled over to their mom, their heads bowed and their shoulders slumped. They looked like two kids who had just been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

"We're sorry, Mom," they said in unison.

"Oh, you sweet babies, Your mom isn't mad at you." Alessandro said, patting them both on the head.

"Yes, I am!" Chiara exclaimed,

"You're not," Alessandro said, giving her a knowing look.

"How do you know? It's not like you can read minds!" Chiara asked, her eyebrows raised.

"I didn't tell you I'm a mind reader," Alessandro said with a wink, and Chiara couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, kids,I'm not mad at you anymore. Come give Mom a hug."

The kids rushed forward and threw their arms around her, and Chiara hugged them back tightly. Alessandro joined the group hug, and for a moment, they all stood there, a happy family.

"We love you, Mom," the kids said in unison.

"I love you too," Chiara said

Just then, Bianca entered the room. "Oh, sorry to bother you guys, but it's time for Liam and Lilly's bedtime."

The kids turned and ran towards their grandmother, who scooped them up in her arms. "My sweet babies," she said,

"Good night, Mom," Alessandro said, kissing his mother on the forehead.

"Good night, son," Bianca said

"Good night, kids," Chiara and Alessandro said together.
Bianca waved goodbye and carried the kids out of the room, leaving Chiara and Alessandro alone.

"I have to go downstairs," Chiara said, heading towards the door.

"You're not going anywhere," Alessandro said, standing up from his chair.

"Why not?" Chiara asked

"Why are you in such a hurry to go?"

"Because I'm starving!" Chiara said, her stomach rumbling. "I'm going to go make myself a midnight snack, since the kids have finally gone to bed."

"That's funny, because I'm starving too!"

"Then let's go," she said, starting to move away from him.

But he wouldn't let go. "No, wait," he said, holding her close. "I'm hungry for something else."

She raised an eyebrow, looking at him curiously. "And what might that be?"

He leaned in close, his breath hot on her ear. "For you," he whispered.

"You can't eat me - I'm not food," Chiara said playfully, sticking out her tongue.

"Oh, but you're so sweet,And you're definitely not going anywhere."

As Chiara tried to run, Alessandro grabbed her and pulled her onto the bed, pinning her down and gazing into her eyes. "Let's make another baby," he whispered, his breath hot on her skin.

"No way, Liam and Lilly are real enough. I'm not ready to make another baby with you. Maybe in five years, when they're seven years old."

"But we have the money We'll be able to take care of them."

"So who will carry the pregnancy?" Chiara asked

"You, of course," Alessandro said.

But Chiara moved away from him, shaking her head. "Not me! Do you have any idea how hard it is to be pregnant? To carry a child for nine months and then give birth? It's not easy!"

"I'll make it easy for you," Alessandro said,But Chiara just smiled and started to run away, and the chase was on.
They raced around the room, laughing and dodging furniture. Finally, Alessandro caught her and pinned her against the wall, his arms around her.

"I caught you, babe," he said, grinning from ear to ear.

Chiara couldn't help but laugh. "You sure did," she said, breathless from the chase. "And now what?"

"Now this," Alessandro said, and he leaned in to kiss her.
Chiara closed her eyes and kissed him back
