Andrea's pov
A week laterToday is my birthday and I'm finally eighteen. Allesandro said he wants to introduce me as the Italian mafia princess during the mafia ball. I have to take my place as the Greek mafia Donna during the ball. All that will be happening during the ball will raise a lot of questions because for sure everyone thinks Alexandria is the Italian mafia princess. I just hope my men will remain loyal to me even after finding out I'm not really a Galanis. Either way they have no choice it's not like I usurped the title, father made me his heiress and he has no other family but me so I do not think my claim can be brought into question.
The family wanted to have a party to celebrate my birthday and I refused but Mama and Armani kept pushing so I agreed to have a family dinner. Sophia and Diego are coming because they are practically family to me. The whole pack is here, they flew in yesterday. Alexandria has been a bit distant. We have never been really close but now I feel like she is avoiding me. I think I will have a talk with her after dinner and clear the air. I can't have my only sister harbour hatred for me. I'm certain it has something to do with Alex going to Russia.
Mama and Sophia were doing my hair and makeup, they even got me an evening gown. I don't get what the fuss is about I mean it's just a normal family dinner only with a birthday cake this time.
" Mama how many people did you invite to today's dinner?" I ask because I honestly can't trust Isabella, I do not think we have the same definition of something small.
" Well I had intended on inviting the Leroys who are our close friends but your dad asked me not to. I still don't get why you didn't want a big celebration I mean this is your first birthday with us it should have been a grand affair." Mama whines. She has been sulking all week because of this, I don't get why she won't just let this go. She is one stubborn woman.
" Because I didn't want it to be a big deal, Mama it's not a big deal. Look you can parade me all you want during the mafia ball," I say pleading my case to her.

Andrea's outfit" As you all know life has reunited us with Aurora once again. Living with you has not been easy. There were times when I thought that maybe I was being punished for my past transgressions.you are truly the most difficult out of all of your siblings, ten times more stubborn, hot headed and troublesome.I have loved every moment of being a part of your life. I know these past couple of months have not been easy and we have had our differences but I'm glad we have gotten to a point where we can celebrate each other and support each other. We will always be there for you Andrea. We love you Principessa. Now come on and cut your cake so I can give you your gift afterwards," Allesandro says as he delivers his speech. Oh come on he is exaggerating, I haven't given them that much of a hard time. I refuse to believe I'm more troublesome than the triplets.
" I agree dad no offence Andrea but amorina you are a magnet for trouble. You have surely kept us at the edges of our seats during these past few months,"
Alessio jokes. Now that I think of it I agree I am the worst of the bunch. I guess trouble is my middle name then." Alright that's enough, you leave my niece alone. It's her birthday today let's at least pretend she is a good girl just for today," Uncle Enzo says throwing me under the bus again. Here I was thinking he is going to defend me instead he taunts me. The room cracks up after Uncle Enzo speaks up.
They all sing me happy birthday as I cut the cake. This is actually the first time I'm having a birthday cake well my birthday cake to be exact. Father has never been one for birthday parties and we couldn't celebrate our birthdays in Russia, after that I just did not see the need to celebrate my birthday. To me it has always been just another day but only difference is it marked another year to my age. Alessio said people make a wish when they blow their candles, he said it may or may not come true it all depends on your luck. I decided to make a wish, I wished that my family would stay happy and complete even after the storm that is brewing has passed.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LITTLE LUNA. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
My my I think you all might have forgotten about my invite. No worries I am here now," the voice which came from the hallway said loudly. Everyone turned their head to see who was singing and when they did their faces turned pale from all of the shock." This is a family gathering so I suggest you leave now and stop causing a scene," Armani warns.
" That is where you are mistaken Armani. I am family.
Hello Luna, it has been a while dear daughter," Father says with a broad smile on his face. I was frozen at that spot. I couldn't utter a word. He is here, standing in front of me."Father?" The question came out as a whisper as I still could not believe what my eyes were seeing.
