Cecilia
Today was for sure the best day of our vacation except for the fact that I found out that soon we will have to leave, I loved every moment here but I know that I will have to face reality. I stopped to think about how my life will change, I will start to carry the surname of one of the largest organized crime families in the world and I will be the lady of the Albertini Mafia, to be honest I don't know if I am prepared to live this new reality but being with Dario and my children I believe I will do well.
I never agreed with this life because I know that because of it many die, I even lost my mother and husband because of a war between the Albertini and Tolentino but I understand that I was born in the middle of all this and as much as I want to leave, I know it is impossible.
During the trip I sent some messages to Romeo and Luana, everyone was well and missing them but I still hadn't told them about my reconciliation with Dario, nor my going to Italy, I am not ready to say goodbye to them that is the truth but I know that soon I will have to leave them no matter how difficult it is. I took my cell phone and called Luana, she answered me on the first call.
Cecilia: Hi Lu, how are you?
Luana: I am fine and I miss you, this one week seems like an eternity, when are you coming back?
Cecilia: I imagine we will be back by Sunday but tell me, did you find out the sex of the baby?
Luana: Yes, it's a boy! Your brother is overjoyed, he can't stop talking about the little one for a minute, Miguel is also excited to know that he will have a baby brother and for our happiness to be complete, all that is missing is you and Melina here.
Cecilia: I am very happy for you, sister-in-law, we need to talk, but I prefer to do it in person!
Luana realized at once what it was but as always she supported me with her usual friendly words.
Luana: All love is worthwhile if the soul is not small, I know you loved my brother but I also know that a part of your heart has always belonged to Dario Albertini. Know that all I want most is your happiness, the past must be left behind, if your decision is to go with him you can count on my support but your brother will cause confusion you know how jealous he is, but don't worry about Romeo, I'll deal with him!
Cecilia: Thank you, my beautiful! I don't know what I would do with my life without you, my friend, you are the best person in the whole world.
Only I know how special Luana is, if it wasn't for her I would surely be dead or worse but even though she has known me for such a short time she saved my life. She deserves everything she has and more, we said goodbye with the promise that soon she would be back, I went to the children's room when I see Dario talking to them.
- Today, your mother and I will have a moment of our own, so you will have an early dinner and stay with the Pope's security guard. Do you understand?
- We understand, Dad!
Melina began to laugh as she noticed her father's startled expression, for I imagine it was a surprise.
- Plotting behind my back, Dario? How ugly!
- Never, my lady, I was just arranging with our children how it would be later but I was going to make a formal invitation to dine just you and me!
Having a glimpse of this new personality of Dario's pleased me very much, I never expected him to be a romantic man but I am happy that he has changed in this respect. We left the room accompanied by the children, and stayed in the living room watching them play while we exchanged glances full of promises. I would be his again, body and soul.
Dario
- Will you have dinner with me, my lady?
- You know very well the answer, Don, of course I accept, but will it be just dinner or should I wait for more than that?
Cecilia has always been a very clever woman, she knows it won't be just a simple dinner, but I won't give up the gold so easily.
- It won't be just a simple dinner but it's a surprise, and I won't spoil it by telling you.
She left in the direction of the room where she was staying but I noticed that she was curious to know what the surprise was, I organized everything so that we could be alone, when the night came I asked the children to have dinner as agreed, I kept them company while Cecilia got ready for our dinner.
I took our children to their room and let the security guard take care of them, Melina and Valentine were watching cartoons but I asked them to go to bed at 8:00 and also gave orders to the soldier to make sure that they will obey me.
I go to my room to get ready, I confess that I am anxious to be alone again with my lady, I get the small velvet box checking its contents feeling a huge insecurity that I had never had before, there is a great possibility that she does not accept for everything I put her through but I can not think about it otherwise I will not have the courage to ask.
I went up to her room and as soon as I opened the door I saw the woman of my life wearing a beautiful dress that highlighted her beautiful breasts and delicious ass, I don't know if I will be able to have dinner with that perfect view. She approaches me with a beautiful smile casting her spell on me as in the beginning of our story when I saw her dancing for the first time, I recorded that day in my memory as a memory of the first moment I saw her.
- I don't know how you can possibly look more beautiful than you already are, my lady!
- Well, I imagine that because it's a special moment you need to look beautiful. I thank you for the compliment, you also look beautiful, I must confess that when I was living in your mansion I always liked to see you dressed as a powerful man, it seems to make you stronger and more vigorous than you are!
The weather was cool so I opted to wear a dark suit with a wine tie, from the look on Cecilia's face I know I made an excellent choice. I can see the desire reflecting in her eyes, it is something so true and that only she knows how to express in an explicit way to me.
I guided Cecilia to the table set up on the veranda overlooking the sea, the night was beautiful, gracing us with a beautiful full moon. Everything was conspiring so that we could have a pleasant evening, I pulled the chair so that Cecilia could sit down and at each of my gestures I notice the surprise in her eyes, but after everything I know that she deserves every loving and dedicated gesture from me. I serve dinner noticing her astonishment when she sees what will be served, I chose a recipe that could remind us of our beginning.
- Roast chicken and potatoes! Did you remember?
- Of course I did, it was the best I ever had in my life, made by your hands. I'm not sure if the cook made it similar to yours, but it smells delicious.
Cecilia smiled and put a generous piece in her mouth, I decided to accompany her as I was satisfied to taste the wonderful food, my lady was happy as she chatted about various subjects, to see her so at ease beside me is a great achievement.
- Dario, is there no escape for Lydia? From what you said, the girl is a worldly woman who has no notion of what we are, I know how Saul is a bad boy and Lydia seems to be someone far removed from his reality!
- Unfortunately as in my sister's case my hands are tied, I need to enforce the laws anyway, Lidia will have to marry Saul as Mariana must marry Vinicius Tolentino.
Both subjects make me extremely upset because I know how an arranged or involuntary marriage can have a very disastrous ending, I am living proof of that, noticing how tense I was with the situation that I will have to deal with in the very near future, Cecilia held my hand affectionately as if to relieve my tension.
- I will be by your side, my love, I understand that there will be challenges ahead but if we are together we can face anything!
For the first time I felt that I wouldn't be alone, that since forever Cecilia should have been my wife and lady of the Albertini mafia but I was blind not seeing that there was no other woman for my life than her. While Cecilia was still holding my hand I took the velvet box from my pocket and took out the ruby ring and put it on her finger, watching her emotional expression.
- Cecilia Bernardino, I don't want to live another second of my existence without you by my side, I made a lot of mistakes and I recognize how I hurt your heart but I am truly sorry for that so I want to have you in my life and show every day that I am a different man for our children and for you, will you marry me?
Her face was wet with tears of emotion and dare I say joy, she looked at the ring admiringly smiling like a little girl, when she finally answered I thought my heart would explode in my chest from so much happiness.
- Yes, I accept to be yours forever, my fallen angel!
