Aaliyah let out a scream the moment she saw me.

"Hello mam welcome-" she released her suitcase infront of Yurmi before ran towards me.

"Hey" I said as she hugged the life out of me.

"Where's Royalty"

"She's in the car. Let's go" I said and we got into the car.

Royalty was sleeping inside her car seat. I unbuckled the straps and took her into my arms so she would be more comfortable.

Yurmi soon got into before taking us to my house

"I need you to do something for me" I said to Alexia as we got into my car.

"I just got here and you want me to do your dirty work already not that I'm complaining though but still" she said with a smile

I took out a cigarette and Sophie reached in from behind me

"Can I have one"

"No" all three of us said

"Sit your little ass back down" Archie said and she rolled her eyes before sitting back into her seat.

"I can't wait to be away from you so I can have fun I want" she said and he took a cigar from me.

"Oh really" he asked while looking at her.

"Yes really and as soon as this party is over I'm going back to New Orleans"

"Your not going back to New Orleans Sophie. Our job there is done"

"I'm nineteen you can't tell me want to do"

"Yes I can and if you disobey I promise Sophie I'll kill your little drunky ass boyfriend" he threatened.

"Come on guys you just got back" I said and they ignored me.

"I'm telling dad-"

"I hope he has enough popcorn when I tell him what you've been doing in New Orleans"

"I lost my virginity and did drugs once I don't see the big deal-"

"The big deal is that your not fucking grown and two that asshole shouldn't have gave you any drugs and three you were raped. He gave you drugs so he could fuck you Sophie but I guess you're too dumb to realize that" he shouted

"I hate you" she said before placing her headphones on.

He lit the cigar before rolling the window down.

"Okay that just happened" Alexia said and placed my cigar in between my lips before lighting it.

I drove off and the car was already full of tension between the two.

I guess a lot happened in New Orleans.

"So what is it that you want me to do" Alexia asked while breaking the silence in the car.

"Claudia won't sign the divorce papers" I said

"I never liked the bitch" she said with rolling her eyes.

"I want you to trick her into signing them" I said

"Okay but are you going to tell me why your so urged to get a divorce. The last time I heard you two were married and she was pregnant"

"Giovanna's back" I said.

"She better not be alive" she said and I looked at her.

"She had my daughter" I said and Archie started coughing as Alexia stared at me with wide eyes.

"Are you okay?" Sophie asked while taking her headphones off. He nod and I smiled.

"Had your what?" Alexia said

"My daughter" I repeated.

"I thought Claudia was one month pregnant" Sophie said

"Giovanna was pregnant and she had my child" I said before looking at her through the mirror.

"And Claudia had a miscarriage a few days ago" I said before looking back at the road

"So because we were in New Orleans we were been kept in the dark" Sophie said

••°••

"You need to sign this" Sophie said

"Why?"

"Aren't you the one who's help planning this party. The packages for the party came and they want your signature" Sophie said and she took it before looking at the document.

"Come on we don't have time for this" Sophie said and she took the pen before signing in

"And this too" Alexia said and she signed it.

"And right here"

"Okay great Leon just call your lawyers now" Alexia said while handing me the papers.

"Wait what?" Claudia asked

"You just signed your divorce papers honey" Alexia smirked.

"You bitch" she said and I grabbed Alexia's arm

"Why?" she said while looking at me.

Tears forming in her eyes.

"Let's go" I said to Lily and Alexia.

"Your going to be a dead bitch one day" Alexia said before walking away.

We went to my office and I placed the paper in my drawer before locking it.

The party will be starting in a few hours so we talked a little about the mission they did in new Orleans for a bit.

"So Giovanna?" Alexia said and I looked at her

"Are you gonna put a ring on" she asked pointing at her ring finger

"I want to but I'm not sure if she'll say yes" I said and she raised an eyebrow

"Are you crazy? Why wouldn't she say yes" she asked

"Same reason why I can't bring my self to ask her out to dinner"

"I'm not the type of guy who does those things I don't want to look stupid. I don't even know where to start Alexia. I don't deserve her" I said and she hit me in the head

"Ouch" I said

"Yes you do. You'll practically do anything for her and you forgive her no matter what. I mean she almost killed you and you forgave her" she said.

"First you ask her out bring her somewhere nice and romantic" I said

"Romantic?"

"Yeah not because she's into guns and knives and shits doesn't mean she doesn't want romance in her life"

"I don't know how to be romantic. Do you know my father?"

"What are we here for dummy. We got your back" she said

"You remember that time he brought her to a underground fighting match as a date" Sophie said

"Well she did love it" Alexia said

"That's beside the point I'm not bring Giovanna to a fighting match" I said

"Giovanna-" Aaliyah walked into my room as I placed Royalty's shoes on.

(Imagine the little girl being 1 or should I say almost 2 years old)

"Wow" she said while walking into the room.

"You look gorgeous" I said and she smiled

"You two look magnificent" she said and I smiled.

Aaliyah was invited to the party by Sasha since both Aaliyah and her parents was the only family Sasha had left

I grabbed some extra clothes for Royalty incase and something happens. I packed thing she would need in her small bag pack before grabbing my purse.

We made our way out of the house and got into the limo. Yurmi drove off to the Valentino's mansion and Aaliyah and I talked.

We arrived at the mansion and Lily took Royalty away the moment she saw us.

I saw Liliana and Azzura and we walked towards them

"You both gorgeous" I said and they both hugged me.

"You gorgeous as well sweetheart" Liliana said before greeting Aaliyah

"Both of you look beautiful" Azzura complimented us.

"Where is my grandchild" Liliana asked with her hands on her hips

"Your daughter kidnapped her the moment we entered the room" I said

"Is that so" Liliana smiled

"Yes mama" I said

They lead us to the main table where most people where gathered

"Where's Leon?" I asked

"If I'm not lying I think he went to his room to go change"

"Leon is in his office" the woman from the party piped in.

After everything why would she even tell me his whereabouts?

"I'll be right back" I said and they nod

"Don't take too long" Aaliyah said while wiggling her eyebrows.

Rolling my eyes I made my way to his office.

I saw Sasha on the way up and he stopped me before I could walk past him.

"Where are you going?" he asked. "Just curious" he added

"To Leon's office" I said and was about to walk around him

"No wait" he said while getting into my way.

"What is it Sasha?" I asked with my hand on my hip.

"You can't go in there" he said and I raised an eyebrow

"Why not?"

"Because he's-um-he's" he said while snapping his fingers

"Your gonna laugh when you hear this" he said while shifting on his foot uncomfortably

"I'm waiting" I said and he scratch the back of his head.

"You know your really good at that" he said while pointing at me face.

"You know how you do that thing with your face to make people feel-"

"Intimidated?" I cut in and he nod

"Uncomfortable?" I said and he nod again

"Yeah it's a gift now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna see Leon" I said before walking pass him

He grabbed my arm again and I turned to him

"You're going to lose that arm if you keep doing that, scratch that your gonna lose a number of organs if you keep stopping me from going to that off" I said and he released me while holding his hands in the air.

I run my hand through my hair and walked to the office. As I was about to open it his office stopped me

"Don't you think you should knock?"

I opened the door and I saw Claudia adjusting her dress and Leon was buttoning up his shirt as he talked to her.

They looked up at me and I walked away from the door.

"You could have said there were fucking. I wouldn't have waste my fucking time" I said while walking to Sasha.

"Giovanna"

I walked back passed Sasha and went downstairs the stairs.

"Angel please just wait" I turned around to him with a hard glare.

"Don't ever call me that again" I said

I walked down the rest of stairs before walking into the hall as he followed me.

"Giovanna please" he said before grabbing my arm.

"Let go"

"Just let me explain please" he said while pulling me closer to him.

The lipstick stains were much more evident and they hickey on his neck.

"Explain what?" I asked

"That you fucked your wife yeah not interested" I said before he could talk

"Giovanna I'm seeing things okay and I'm horny as fuck I don't know what wrong with my body"

"Nothing is wrong with your body Leon. It's just the type of person you are"

"No it's not Giovanna please"

"I though it was you and then I opened my eyes and it was her-"

"I don't want to hear it Leon"

"Look you know I love you right-"

"Don't" I said while pulling away but he held me tighter.

"I'll break your fucking arm Leon" I said

"No you-" I pulled away and twisted his wrist so hard that we both heard something break.

"Fuck" he groan out and I released him before stepping back

"You broke my wrist Giovanna" he said in pain

"I told you I would" I said and he looked at me

His eyes turn dark green and he walked up to me fast.

"Hit me if that's what your gonna do" I said and he clenched his jaw clenched tight.

He looked away and Royalty's voice reached out ears

"Mama"

"Dada" she said and Lily released her back her run towards us.

"Hey" I said while taking her up.

"Dada" she said and he forced a smile.

"Hey mama"

"Don't put your mouth on my child since I don't know where your mouth has been since the last 15 minutes or more" I said and he leaned back.

"I didn't-"

"Whatever" I said before walking away.

"You'll see Dada soon okay" I said before kissing her cheeks. She looked back at him and I couldn't help the pain I felt but most of all the anger.

I want to be with you he said

Fucking liar

"Hey did you find him?" Liliana asked

"No" I lied

"Should I go-"

"No" I said and she nod.

"Is everything okay?"

"I'll be going to Russia for a few days" I said

"Sweet heart I want to let you know that you can talk to me" she said

Leo came up from behind her and placed a kiss on her neck. He whispered into her ear and she smiled.

I smiled at them as she turned around to him. She kissed him and I walked away.

I wished that would be Leon and I but I guess it was just not meant to be.

I sat down at the table before Lily came and sat down.

Neither of us said anything until Leonora and Gia came and sat down.

"Hey baby" Leonora said taking Royalty.

"Ant" she said while kicking her legs in excitement.

"I haven't seen you in a while huh?" Leonora said and Royalty started babbling.

"Really" Leonora said and we smiled at them.

"Sasha told me-"

"Sasha talks to much" I said and she looked at her fingers

"He was-"

"Guy please don't" I said before Aaliyah walked to the table.

"Aaliyah this is my sister"

"Hey I'm Aaliyah" she said and they shook hands

"Your also my cousin's girlfriend right? I'm talking about Sasha"

"Um...."

"Your Gia aren't you?"

"Yeah" she said and Aaliyah smiled

She pinched Royalty's cheeks and she smiled.

They spent sometime talking about other unnecessary things as I zoned out

"Hey babe are you listening to us" Aaliyah asked and I looked at them

"Huh"

"Nevermind" she said and I nod

"Has anyone seen Leon?" Azzura asked

"He's at the infirmary"

"What happened?"

"He um- there he is ask him" she said before pointing somewhere

I didn't dare to turn around to look at him.

Claudia said infront of me across the table with a smirk.

I grabbed Gia's knife from her holster and placed my hands on the table. Her eyes went to the knife and her smirk left her face as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.

"Giovanna stop" Gia said while taking back the knife and looking around.

I wasn't going to do anything anyways

"Giovanna can I talk to you" he asked and Leonora walked away with Royalty. They went over to Liliana and Leo and I looked back at the table

"You have five seconds so talk" I said

"In private" he said

"Three, two, one"

"Time is up" I said before getting up and walking pass him

"Please" he begged and I turned to him

"Will you marry me?" he asked and I laughed

I mean I literally laughed in his face

"Are you fucking kidding" I asked when I stopped laughing.

"¿Estás fuera de sí, León?" I asked with hand gestures

(Are you out of it Leon?)

"Hear me out-"

"Leon are you on drugs or something"

"Yes that's it Giovanna that bitch drugged-"

"I don't care what your on just fuck off and leave me alone" I said and he stepped towards me

I stepped away as Azzura and Ace walked towards us.

"I wish I never came back to this hell hole" I said before walking away.

I took the a champagne flute from the waitresses and turned it to my head.

I turned around when I heard things crashing down

"Leon stop" Leo shouted as he grabbed Claudia by her throat.

Royalty started crying and I hurried over to Leonora before taking her.

"Leon" Liliana shouted

"Come on man your gonna kill her" Liam said

"Leon your daughter doesn't need to see you like this" Leonora said and Claudia tried grabbing on to his shirt.

"Leon stop now" I shouted and he released her.

She started coughing as she held her throat.

"Get out of my fucking house Claudia"

He then grabbed his head and Liam grabbed him.

"Leon" I said while walking towards them

He started hitting his head and I gave Royalty to Aaliyah.

"What the fuck did you give me" he asked while looking at Claudia.

"What did you give him" I asked

"All type of things I don't know" she coughed

"Leon" Liam said and I looked at them to see Leon faint on him.
