*5 months later*
5 months.

5 months without his touch

5 months without his voice

5 months without his eyes

5 months without his hair

5 months without him

The first month was filled with pure boredom and anticipation. I filled the time with chocolate  and random chocolate covered strawberries I had found in the refrigerator. Sienna came around sometimes, but I didn't wanna bother her with my boredom. After all, she had her own business to attend to.

The second month was the hardest, and my friends saw that.  Noen was supposed to be home by now. I had no clue what was going on. Chris had proposed to Elena. That was the only time I felt true happiness, not even for myself. Noens mother had started teaching me about the mafia life.

*flashback*
[nuora means daughter in law]

"You weren't born into this life, you have a lot to learn nuora. Being at the head of the mafia isn't just sitting there and looking pretty. We do just as much as these men do. Now I suppose you already know how to shoot a gun and basic combat. So we're skipping to Italian. You have to make yourself useful somehow besides eating your sorrows away. I've hired a italian teacher to come everyday and teach you. You need to be fluent by the time Noen gets back." Noens mother, Theresac explained.

"That's not nearly enough time to learn Italian! Noen told me he was only gonna be a month." I said in a worried tone.

Theresa chuckled

"Giovanni told me he was gonna be gone 2 months and he came back in a year. These missions aren't easy. But trust me nuora, he will come back a different, tougher man." Theresa said.

I sighed.

"Are you planning on giving me some more grandchildren?"

I hadn't thought about kids, I haven't even lost my virginity yet.

I visibly got tense.

"nuora, have you even done it yet." She questioned.

I didn't answer. I guess she took that as a no.

"When he gets back, I expect you to be pregnant within a month." She said

Who was she to tell me what she expected me to do with my body

"As the wife of Noen, and the new mafia queen, you have an image to uphold. You cannot be all soft and tender in public. You have to be bold and fierce. Be prepared to kill people behind Noen. You cannot back down or be scared. Be strong."

*end of flashback*

The third month consisted of me losing all the weight I've gained, learning Italian, and training hard. Training was pretty easy, but there was still some stuff I needed to know. I rarely hung out with friends. Elena and sienna hung out over her without me.
