Mafia's Only Daughter ✔

EPILOGUE

ISABELLA'S POV:

I wake up feeling uneasy, as if someone is hitting my head. I look around, only to see my brothers sitting in my room, all with angry expressions. I hold my temple, the pain throbbing.

"Ahh." A sudden wave of pain hits my abdomen, and I fall back into my previous position.

They all rush to me, and Ande gently lays my head in his lap. Luc checks my pulse and assesses the situation.

"You got your period, I think. Go check. In the meantime, I'll make you some hot chocolate." Luc says. I nod in acknowledgment.

Ande picks me up in his arms and gently places me in front of the bathroom door. They still treat me like I'm still 19, not 24. I enter the bathroom, do my business, and quickly put on my sanitary napkin after a hot shower. I come out wearing only a bathrobe. Aure hands me my clothes, and I rush to the closet to change. Once I'm done, I return to the bed, but the headache persists and starts to intensify.

Soon, Luc comes in with hot chocolate. I drink it gratefully it's my favorite.

After a while, Papa enters the room. His face is stern. I glance at him and then look down, knowing I made a mistake that won't go unpunished.

"Bella, you'll be Andreano's assistant for one week. That's your punishment." He says, and my eyes widen.

"Dad, at least give her five days. She needs rest." Ande says, giving me a small smile.

"Her hangover will be gone in an hour. Take her to the office." Papa says, his tone growing strict.

Tears brim in my eyes. I look at him, feeling hurt. I know what I did wasn't right, but I still don't understand why I'm crying. I start crying silently, but my tears grow louder. Papa panics and rushes to hug me, but I push him away, seeking comfort from Ande instead. He rubs my back and pulls me onto his lap.

"Papa, she just got her period an hour ago." Ande says.

After a few moments, I calm down, but I don't look at Papa. I'm angry with him now, and I plan to show him. He starts massaging my feet, and it feels so soothing. Then, I suddenly asked, "Where's Cognata?"

"Which one?" Aure asks.

"Both." I say, and he shakes his head.

He leaves the room, returning shortly with my half-asleep cognata's. They look so cute. They lie on my bed and cuddle with each other. I giggle, watching them.

"Baby, you made them drink so much that now they can't even wake up. And you also didn't want to wake up." Matte says, looking at his wife, who is peacefully asleep.

Suddenly, she throws a pillow at his face, and we all burst into laughter.

Five days pass by like that. Today, I went to the office with Ande to accompany him for a meeting. The day was filled with back-to-back meetings and work. As soon as we get home, though, there's an unusual silence. The lights suddenly go out, and Ande pulls me toward him protectively. Then, we hear loud voices and the lights flicker back on. I see my entire family gathered here, with Martina and Camilla standing together both are blushing. I look at them, confused.

"What happened? Am I missing something?" I ask still puzzled.

Suddenly, both my cognata's announce together, "WE'RE PREGNANT."

I jumped in place, shocked by the news. I can't ask for anything more in life this is amazing. I have everything I want. The evening is spent celebrating, and the Russo family joins us, along with Vay Bhai and Angie. Everyone is happy, enjoying the night.

Soon, Vince came towards me. We exchange a look and then quietly slip away, making our way to my room where no one can see us. As we enter, he locks the door and picks me up in bridal style. He carries me to the balcony, where we sit together on the big swing, gazing at the sky, holding hands. We both stare at the moon in silence.

"I'm so happy today, Issa." He says, his voice is soft. I hum in response.

"I want to say something Vince." I say, and he turns to face me, giving me his full attention.

"Enzo I've been guarded for so long, but you slipped past my defenses. You see my true self, and still, you choose me. I'm scared to share my feelings. Enzo, from the moment I met you, I knew you were different. Your eyes saw through me, and your heart understood mine. I'm lost in the depths of your love, and I never want to find my way back."

Tears fill his eyes as I speak, and I feel my own eyes welling up with tears. He wipes them away and nods for me to continue. I take a deep breath and say,

"I love you, Enzo. I really do. I know I take my time, and I was angry with you, but my love for you never decreased. I've always loved you. Every time I'm with you, I feel something different, even when our alliance began. There's always been a connection between us, but I never realized it was love. You are my home, my safe heaven. I love you, my Enzo."

I confess my feelings, and he looks shocked, but soon recovers, pressing his forehead against mine.

"I love you more, Issa." He says, his voice tender. His gaze flickers between my eyes and lips. He licks his lips and looks into my eyes. I nod, knowing what he wants. Without hesitation, he captures my lips with his.

"I'll make you mine soon." He murmurs, breaking the kiss.

A minute later, he kisses me again, sealing his promise.

THE END.
