The King, His Queen, and Princess

"Alessa?" I murmur as I try to wake the little munchkin up.

"No, Momma!" Alessa groans loudly before cuddling closer to her sheets.

"Alessa Mercedes Fucchiano, if you don't get up right now--," I grumble and before I can even finish my statement Alessa shoots up from her bed.

"I'm up, Momma!" She stands from her bed and runs into her bathroom to brush her teeth and take a quick shower.

"That's what I thought," I smirk before walking to her closet and taking out her freshly pressed uniform.

My baby is now going to attend the Trinity Private School along with Xavier.

"Momma, I'm ready!" Alessa walks towards me in her towel with a brush and hair products for me to do her hair. I place her blue skirt, white button up, and blue tie on the bed before sitting her down.

"Are you excited for your first day of school?" I ask and she nods slowly before picking at her bed sheets.

"I'm happy that I'm gonna be with Xavier at least," She murmurs. I grab the brush and start brushing through her tangles. I put a little bit of gel on my hands once I finish unknotting her long dirty blonde hair.

I fix her hair up into a cute preppy ponytail and tie a blue ribbon around the ponytail to make it look cuter.

I help her stand and then she takes off her towel. I pass her the lotion and she puts some on as I move to grab her a tank top and underwear from her drawers.

"Thanks, Momma," She says as she slips on the undergarments.

She put on the uniform and tie after I take out her adorable black Mary Janes. I put some perfume on her while she puts on her Mary janes. When she is done getting dressed,  she runs out the door before I can stop her.

I walk back to my room just to find a distressed looking Alessandro pacing the room.

"What's wrong?" I ask and his head snaps towards me.

"I can't breathe!" He mutters and I walk over to him quickly.

"Why?" I feel my stress levels rising as his face turns red.

"I'm gonna have an anxiety attack!" He chokes on his words and I pull him to sit on the bed. I remove his tie and help him take off his blazer. I squat down in front of him and place both my hands on his shaking knees.

"My business is gonna fail if I don't leave now!" He tries to get up but I pull him down.

"Your hotels?" I ask and he rolls his eyes.

"Well obviously!" The vein on the side of his neck pops out as he yells at me.

"What's wrong?" I take a deep breath and try not to curse him out for yelling at me so hard.

"There is so much confusion happening and I can't do this by myself. If I knew owning four hotels in San Diego would be so hard I never would have bought them,"

"I can help you," I say and his eyes widen.

"You would do that for me? You would go around to each of my hotels and make sure everything is organized?" He asks as he places both his shaking hands on my cheeks.

"Of course," I murmur and he pulls me to stand up as he too stands.

"I love you," He presses a kiss to my lips and I can see his anxiety slowly leaving him.

"I love you more,"

"I'm gonna take a shower and get dressed and then you tell me what to do with everything,"

"Great idea, so all you have to do is sign a couple of papers for me and pay some bills. Then you have to try to convince my secretary to quit so you can be it,"

"But first we have to say bye to Alessa and Xavier," I grab his hand and we walk downstairs to the front of the house. When we get there we see Xavier and Alessa walking towards a gray limo.

"Bye my beautiful babies," I wave to them and they wave back.

"Bye, Momma and Daddy!" She gets into the limo and Xavier stays behind to wave. He looked so cute in his button down, vest, and tie.

"Bye, Auntie Rose and Uncle Alessandro!" He blows me a kiss before climbing into the car. The chauffeur tips his hat at us before closing the door and getting into the driver's seat.

"Mr. Hensel has been working for this family for so long it surprises me that he can still deal with us,"

"How long has he been working for you guys?" I ask as we walk to our room.

"Since I was five," He murmurs before giving me a small kiss on my cheek.

"I'm gonna go off to figure out the rest of the problems with my other businesses, text or call me if anything,"

"I love you," I give him one last hug and he says the loving words back before walking out of the room.

I walked into the bathroom and stepped into the shower. I washed my hair, my body, and re-brushed my teeth for the second time this morning.

When I finished, I changed into a black long sleeved sweater tucked into a gray skirt and black heels. My hair was combed out nicely and I actually took my bangs out. I did my makeup to perfect and put perfume on.

"Hey," There was a knock on the door that just so happened to be open.

"Hey," I turned to see Piero standing in front of the door.

"Why are you so dressed up?"

"I'm gonna become, Alessandro's new assistant," I say and his mouth drops open.

"Really?"

"Yeah,"

"Wow, that's cute. Do you want me to drive you there?"

"Sure, but I'll take my car and you can just show me the way if that's alright," I respond before grabbing my watch and slipping it on my wrist as well as my necklace and ring.

"Let's go," I say as I grab my purse and turn off the lights. I closed and locked my room door and then followed Piero down the stairs.

I was nervous, to say the least.
