The Unexpected Love

Ch1-Alessio

"I still can't believe this is really happening, if I could turn back time, that fucker Amo wouldn't live long enough to ever meet Greta." Remo muttered, he still was definitely having a tough time coming in terms with Greta's relationship with Amo.

"I never imagined Dollface would leave Vegas but here we are. I guess she got the whole loving the enemy from you" Savio said, and it was true, none of us would've ever imagined that someone like Greta, who could never relax with anyone apart from our family had fell in love with none other than Amo fucking Vitiello, and after all the bloodshed and chaos it caused, we are now in New York to attend their wedding tomorrow. The women of our family were fine, they would miss Greta, and even worry about her but they understood her and were actually happy for her. Even among men everyone except Remo and Nevio were getting used to the fact not only Greta will leave Vegas, the Vitiello's will be our family, which by the way was the most surreal part of this all. For as long as I can remember, despite of peace among our families it was clear we hated each other and stayed together for convenience and to target our common enemy, the outfit. Nevio and Uncle Remo definitely got wet dreams about bathing in Luca's and Amo's blood. My dad did not share that hatred and was supportive of the truce with Famiglia because it was a logical choice but he and rest of us would definitely not back out from a fight with them, but now we were all family. Well officially at least, there no way anyone of them will ever feel like family.

"You should be happy, she found love and the way Amo loves her, he will keep her safe just like she was with us and she is not far away we could meet her now and then. Give them your blessings Remo." said Mom. She and the rest of the women of the family were more accepting of this bond. Serafina have been getting along well with Aria during the preparations of the wedding. On the other hand Luca and uncle Remo still couldn't stand being in the same room for long.

"That dad and I don't kill him should be a blessing enough for him" Nevio said, leaving the room probably tired of this wedding conversation we have been having for past hour I guess. He would miss Greta the most, no matter how complete opposite those two were, they were inseparable but now Greta had someone else she wanted to be with.
I followed after him, getting a little tired of this discussion myself. I found him on the terrace smoking, leaning on the railing. I leaned beside him and lit my own cigarette. Dad has always hated us smoking, somewhat more in me than in Massimo and Nevio, which I never understood, if it was about addiction it will be just as potent in any three of us, I figured it is because I am supposed be more responsible one among us three but I doubt smoking is a most dangerous thing we do. We stayed in silence for long time when Nevio smiled disbelievingly, looking up and said , " I can't believe we are family with Vitiello's now , I have been planning to kill Amo since the moment I saw him and now we'll have to play the fucking house with them "

I smiled, shaking my head, " Only for some occasional days , we don't have to handle a Vitiello everyday, so I guess you can resist the urge to kill any of them on those days." It was weird but Vitiellos were a part of family and we'll probably now have to protect Amo considering Greta loved him. But other than that our tolerance would be enough for this new strange family. Nevio had actually been convincing Greta to be a runaway bride and will probably try a few more times.

Massimo entered with Greta, they came over and leaned on the railing beside us. We talked like usual as if nothing had changed, pretending it was just another night in her ballet studio where we came to cool off from our nocturnal adventures. She left, probably wanting to catch some sleep for tomorrow. We definitely would not find sleep today .
Dad came over to us, his face showed disapproval like always whenever he saw us smoking but he didn't comment, he said warning us , "None of you will leave the hotel okay , we don't want any trouble with Famiglia, not just for Camorra but Greta too."
