Mila

Gio paces the room as he makes calls on his phone, we haven't heard from Luca all weekend and even I was starting to get worried, Gio has sent him a series of messages that all go unanswered.

Even though he wouldn't admit it, I could tell he felt bad for the way he treated Luca that night, I could tell that he regretted it.

"Just give him time..." I try to tell him, Luca needed some time alone and away from all of the drama, all though apologies are in order for the both of them.

"You don't understand Mila," Gio says as he walks over to me putting his hands on my shoulder, u frown, he looked very serious as he speaks, worry completely taking over his face. "He could be dead for all I know." Mmmh brows furrowed.

"Don't be dramatic Gio, and don't say that im sure he's just.."

"I'm not being dramatic," he says and I grab his hands in mine holding them together with my hands as I look up at him. "He's going to blame himself for what happened... then..."

Does Gio think that Luca would kill himself? Over this, i frowned, not wanting to think like that, I brought his hands to my lips, kissing them as watch his relax. "Positive thoughts." I tell him and he nods, taking a deep breath.

Sergio and Dario barge into the house and into the livingroom where we stand, we both turn to look at them. "He was seen last night at the bar down on 5th avenue, for all we know he's fine, probably just drowning himself in alcohol." Sergio says.

Gio nods as they walk into the kitchen. "See... he's fine." I say as I let go of his hands, before his hands rest on my waist.

"For now," he says and I frown and lay my head on his chest.

"He will come around," I start, I look up so our eyes meet. "And when he does, you have to apologize." I tell him.

He stared at me for a moment before nodding. "I know," he says as his lips connect to my forehead. "I know."

Besides everything that's going on, as Gio holds me in the middle of the living room, I come to the realization that I was falling for him, as much as I felt I didn't want to before, I was.

I didn't know how to feel about it, I take a deep breath as his scent takes over my nostrils, even though we are married I don't see me and Gio as a couple, our marriage was nothing more then a contract but the longer I spend with him the more that statement seems false.

I told Gio a while ago that this wasn't real, but my feelings felt realer then anything I have ever felt before and it scared the shit out of me, I wondered if he felt the same.

we haven't had sex since that night in Mexico, so I know what I'm feeling is not lust, at first I thought having sex with Gio would get this feeling out of me, but it has made the feeling stronger.

I hurt seeing him hurt, and I'm happy seeing him happy, seeing him with my kids feels all too perfect, they love him, and I could see that he loved them, he would do anything for them, just like he would for me.

He looks down at me. "What are you thinking about?" He asks.

"Everything," I tell him, which wasn't completely wrong, I was thinking about him, and lately he's been feeling like, everything.

Ivan has been calling Gios phone all day as he threatens to pull their alliance because of everything that happened last Friday night, even though his son was the one that pulled the trigger.

The kids were home now and we all laid on the couch as Rosa was cooking dinner, Isa laid on her dad's chest as I ran my fingers through Cade's hair, we let Cade pick the movie we watched and it was something about transformers.

My finger accidentally grazed Cade's ear to which he covers his ears with his hands as his shoulder scrunches. "Sorry baby." I tell him, he didn't like his ear being touched.

Sergio and Dante went home a while ago leaving us to have some family time, we all sat in silence, and it was like a piece of our family was missing, I frowned at the thought, Luca was apart of our family and now that he's gone, his piece is gone.

Isa asked about him earlier and we told her he went on a trip, because how do you tell your toddler that her favorite person has gone missing. You don't that's how.

Cade puts his hands down and lets me play with his hair, I kiss him in his cheek and he smiles, I watch in terror as shadow runs over to the couch as he tries to jump. "No shadow you're too big!" Cade laughs as shadow jumps on the couch in the middle of us.

I laugh as I rub his head and scratch under his chin. "He wants some love too guys."

"I love you shadow!" Isa shouts as she wraps her arm around the huge dog, shadow would look scary to anyone who wasn't us, but too us, he was a cuddly teddy bear and he was so adorable.

Really, he was the sweetest dog.

It's just funny to see a ball of green fur waking around.

Cade also pets the dog who begins licking his hand, Cades face contoured in disgust before he breaks out into laughter. "It tickles."

"Dinner!" Rosa shouts and the kids waste no time to run into the kitchen, I giggle at that.

"Off, boy!" Gio shouts as he gets up from the couch, shadow jumps off and makes his way to his bed, Gio holds his hand out to me and I grab it as he pulls me up.

As soon as I walk into the kitchen I melt as the food invaded me nostril's. "Mmm... smells good Rosa." I smile at her.

She thanks me as she sets the table. "Enjoy guys, I'm going home now." She says and i tell her goodbye as she leaves.

Gio sits next to me with Cade on his left and isa on my right.

"Did you guys wash your hands?" I ask and they nod.

Isa has already begun eating and I dig into my food, Rosa made sure to make sure that none of Cade's portions are touching, or else he would refuse to eat it, remind me to thank her for that.

"Yummy!" Isa shouts and i laugh at that.

"Is it good?" I ask and she nods with a mouth full of food.

I feel Gio wrap his arms around my waist as he pulls me closer, i smile at him before continuing to eat my food.

After dinner I put the kids to bed before walking downstairs where Gio is washing the dishes.

I open my mouth to say something before someone bangs on the front door scaring me as my hands hold onto my chest. "What the hell." I say.

Gio shuts the water off putting his hand around me pulling me behind him as he walks towards the door. "Wait..."

"Stay here," he tells me but I don't do that, I follow him towards the door, he clutched his gun in his waistband and my heart beat picks up.

Not again.

The door continues banging as Gio checks the peep hole. "Who is it?" I ask...
