After we were all done eating I brought Royalty to the bathroom to clean up her hands and face.

When we got back a wrapped gift was sitting on my seat. I raised an eyebrow and pick it up before sitting down. I placed my daughter on my right leg and placed the box on the table.

“Who's gift is this?” I asked

“Yours,” Giovanna said

Mine

I haven't gotten a gift since I was twenty. I got a lot of gifts that day for becoming king.

I don't mind though, I get that it's hard to buy a gift for someone who already has everything.

“From?”

“Me,” she said and I nod with a smile.

A maid was pouring red wine into our glass but when she got to Giovanna she placed her hand over the glass. The maid took it as a sign that she didn't want any and walked towards me.

I thought she had a thing for red wine.

Maybe she wasn't in the mood to drink.

I took up the gift and placed it on my other leg. Royalty placed her hands on the box before pulling at the bow.

“Will you help daddy open his gift?” I asked and she pulled the bow off.

“Okay, I take that as a yes then” I smiled before helping to rip the wrapper off.

It was a gold box, I opened it and the first thing I saw was a baby’s shirt. It had a writing on it, it said ‘Hi Daddy’

“I thought you said it was for me,” I said before removing the clothing from the box

I placed it on Royalty's chest but it was too small.

“It is,” Giovanna said and I looked at it.

“For one that is not his size,” Sasha said

“Neither is it Royalty's,” Liam said and mom faced palm herself.

“Okay why don't you look a little deeper inside the box,” Giovanna said and I nod.

I dug through the confetti pieces until I found a pregnancy test. The test was positive and it had a writing on it.

“Wait does this mean your-”

“Pregnant. Yes” she said and I looked back at the test.

She's pregnant

She's fucking pregnant

“Your serious right?” I said and I could feel the tears in my eyes.

“Yes,” she said and I held my head in my hand when I felt the tear rolling down my cheeks.

“Oh my god,” Lily and Liam said together

“No way,” Leonora said

“We have another Valentino on the way,” I said and we heard Leon sniff.

“Hey bro you okay,” Sasha asked and I nod multiple times.

“Leon?” I said and Sasha took Royalty from him. I got up and walked towards him.

I thought he wanted another baby

I closed the box before placing my hand on his shoulder. He held his head up and I wiped his tears.

“Your pregnant for real, for real”

“Yes the doctor confirmed it yesterday,” I said and he got up before lifting me up.

“You don't know how fucking happy you make me every day” he whispered before placing me down.

He cupped my cheeks as he rested his forehead on mine. “I love you so fucking much”

“I love you too,” I said and he got on his knees.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and he placed his forehead on my tummy.

I smiled down at him and he placed a kiss on my tummy. He got up with a big smile.

“I can't believe I'm crying like this,” he said and I wiped his tears once more with a smile

•°•

“I love you” I whispered before placing Royalty down.

Leon was standing next to me as we stared at our daughter. She had just fallen asleep

“Soon she'll have her little brother-”

“Who said it was a boy?” I said

“I know it will be a boy,” he said

“Yeah right, we’ll see about that,” I said and he lifted me up bridal style.

He brought us to our room and placed me inside the bed.

“Do you want the wedding planner to come here or do you want to meet with her somewhere else”

“Here would be okay,” I said and he nod.

“Let's get married next week,” he said

“Someone is urged” I smirked.

“Of course I am Giovanna. In my heart and head, you've been my wife for a long time now and I've finally grown the balls to pop the question and since you said yes I just want to make it official” he said

I cupped his cheeks before kissing him. We went to sleep after talking some more.

I woke up at 10:26 and I had Leon to blame, he turned my alarm off and closed all the blinds and curtains. I got up and quickly went to the bathroom.

After I was done vomiting, I brushed my teeth and then took a bath.

I walked out of my room and went to Royalty's room. She wasn't inside so I went downstairs.

“Where’s my daughter and where can I find Leon because I'm gonna kill him,” I said.

“He’s at the hos-” Sasha placed his hand over Hunter’s mouth as they all glared at Hunter

“Where’s Leon?” I asked and Sasha removed his hand from Hunter's mouth.

“We don't know,” Archie said

“He’s at the warehouse," Sasha said

“He’s at the club doing the business,” Liam said

“He’s at the docks”

They all answered at the same time causing me to fold my arms.

Really guys?

“Tell me where he is or I'll crush your balls,” I said

“No she won't,” Sasha said they look at him

“She won't do it” he said and they turned to look at me

“Yeah we're not scared of you-” Hunter started talking as he made his way towards me.

I grabbed him by his throat and pushed him into the couch before grabbing his balls.

“You were saying,” I asked

“Sasha” he groaned and Sasha looked at me as they all took a step back.

“I didn't say you should go up to her” Sasha answered and I looked at Hunter.

“Where’s Leon?” I asked

“He’s in the hospital,” he said and I released him.

“What happened? Is he okay? Why-”

“And this is why he asked not to tell her, now she'll start worrying and stuff” Liam said

“He’s my fiance Liam of course I'm going to fucking worry about him” I said.

“Is he okay” I asked Hunter

“He's okay although he lost a little blood. The doctor said it's a-”

“Hunter shut up” they shouted at him.

“Now I can see why they keep things from you and Ace,” Liam said

Like father like son but whatever I need information on my husband and Hunter was giving them to me

“Which hospital?”

“You can't go there,” Sasha said

“And why is that?” I asked

“There’s a hit on you,” Archie said.

“What?” I asked.

“Raymond's parents wants revenge and the word is that the Italian queen took him out,” Hunter said.

“I’m not the Italian quee-”

“Actually you are sis,” Liam said

I took out my phone and I heard his voice. “Is she awake-” he stopped talking when he saw me.

“Hey angel,” he said with a small smile.

He was in pain for sure.

“I thought they said you were at the hospital,” I said as he walked towards me.

He glared at them and they all pointed at Hunter who was looking at the ceiling inside of Leon.

“That's a long story but I'm okay now,” he said

“Your lying they said you for shot,” I said

“Guys can you give us a minute,” he asked and they nod

“As you wish boss,” Hunter said.

He was the first one to exit the room.

“Let me see your wound”

“No,” he said

“Leon”

“Angel I said-”

“I want to see it now” I said and he sighed.

He opened his jacket and I saw blood all over his side. His white dress shirt was soaked in his own blood.

“Angel it's not that bad, I just need to change my shirt,” he said while unbuttoning his shirt.

A bandage went around his waist multiple times, covering the wound.

“Look angel I'm okay,” he said while cupping my cheeks.

He placed a kiss on my lips and I sighed. “How was your nap?” he asked while changing the type

“I slept in thanks to you” I said with a small smile

“Well you need to rest don't you,” he said while placing his hand over my tummy.

I smiled at him before pulling him into a kiss. I soon pulled away and he released me.

“While you go clean up, I'll go find Royalty then have breakfast,” I said and he nod.

He placed a kiss on my forehead and I walked out. I found Royalty in her playroom with Lily and Gia.

“Mommy” Royalty said upon seeing me.

“Hey baby," I said before walking towards her.

I took her up into my arms and kissed her cheeks. “Good morning my little princess, Good morning guys,” I said

“Good morning,” they said.

“I’m sorry I slept and you guys had to babysit-”

“Don’t be ridiculous Giovanna” Giana said

“Your pregnant and I have no problem helping out with my little niecey,” Lily said with a big smile.

“Thank you guys” I said and they got up from the bed.

“I'm hungry right now and I'm sure someone is getting hungry too,” Giana while tickling Royalty.

Royalty laughed while trying to push her hands away. I smiled at them and Giana pulled away.

Hearing my daughter's laughter was music to my ears.

We went to the kitchen and the chef prepared our meals.

Liliana walked in with a big smile. “Good morning my beautiful daughters,” she said.

She hugged Lilly and kissed her on the cheek before doing the same to me and Gia.

“Good morning,” we said and she took up Royalty.

“Good morning,” she said in a baby tone.

“Good morning princess,” Liliana said and Royalty giggled.

“I love you,” she said after kissing Royalty's cheeks.

“So today I want to treat you girls,” Liliana said while rocking Royalty.

“Yes,” Lily said and we smiled.

“We have appointments at the spa at one since Giovanna will be meeting with the wedding planner”

“Thank goodness. I haven't been to the spa since like two weeks ago” Lily said while looking at her nails.

“And that's a bad thing?” I asked

“Yes. I have broken nails, my body is dying for a massage, my cuticles are glaring at me and I could really go on” she complained.

We laughed before shaking our heads at her. Leon walked in and Royalty started stretching out for him to take her.

“Dada, dada” she sang and he smiled before taking her.

“Good morning mama,” he said and she placed her head on his chest as she wrapped her tiny hands around his neck.

Such a daddy's girl

“Angel the wedding planner is here,” he said and I got up before wiping my mouth.

I took up my plate and brought it to the dishwasher.

“Your okay right?” I asked and he placed a kiss on my forehead before smiling down at me.

“She’s in the living room okay,” he said and I nod.

“You want to come with mom,” I asked and she reached out to me.

I took her into my arms and she started waving at them.

“Bye-bye bye,” she said and I smiled.

The moment they woke out I grabbed the counter to hold myself up. “Fucking hell” I groaned as I grabbed onto my side.

Pain was coursing through my entire body this entire time. “Did you take the pills?” mom asked

“Yes,” I said and she placed my arm around her shoulder.

“The bullet is still inside,” I said and Lily got up.

“I'll go stay with Giovanna,” Gia said and I nod.

“Let's go,” Lily said and we went to a guest room. Mom grabbed everything she needed as Lily took off the bandage”

“If you weren't so impatient and rude this thing wouldn't even be inside you right now. But no your Leon fucking Valentino-” Lily started whispering and I cut her off.

“Lily I get your point okay,” I said before groaning in pain.

“Lily lock the door,” mom said and she nod before standing.

She locked the door and I grabbed a bottle of vodka. Mom placed a pair of gloves on and I prepared myself for the pain I'm about to feel.

“Then we're finished for today. Thank you for your time Mrs. Valentino” the wedding planner said while standing.

Even though Leon and I aren't married as yet most people address me as Mrs. Valentino.

“No thank you,” I said with a smile.

I shook her hand and Gia offered to walk her out. Royalty fell asleep in my arms so I got up and went to my room.

I placed her down in the middle of the bed and used the pillow to create a little barrier around her.

“I got it, just hold still baby,” I said and he nod.

I pulled the bullet out and he sighed. He leaned back his head and closed his eyes.

“You okay”

“Yeah mom,” he said and Lily handed me vodka.

“Okay then take a deep breath,” I said before grabbing a towel. I threw the alcohol on his wound and he curse up his breath.

I pulled away and started dressing his wound. I wrapped the bandage back around his waist and he leaned up.

“Thanks, mom” he said and I smiled.

“What happened?” Lily asked

“Raymond's parents want Giovanna dead so I decided to get to them before they got to us. The good news is I killed his mother bad news is, his father is now even more furious” he said

“Well furious or not the Valentino's aren't scared and it's nothing we can handle,” lily said

“We need to show these people why you're the king, why Giovanna's the queen, and why they should stop crossing us," I said and they nod.

“Get yourself clean up,” I said and he nodded as Lily and I got up.

I took the gloves off and threw them into the bin. I took my phone out and called Leo.

“Hey princess” he answered on the first ring.

“Hey”

I heard gunshots in the background.

“Are you busy?”

“I'm never too busy for you princess,” he said

“Please-" someone begged before I heard one last gunshot.

“What’s up my love,” he asked

“Something came up and I need you,” I said

“How bad”

“No not like that,” I said with a smile.

“So you don't want me like-”

“Of course, I want you like that, it's just that something came up and the kids and I need you”

“Are you guys okay?” he asked with concern in his voice.

“Yes,” I said and he sighed

“Where should I come”

Inside me

Liliana!!!!!!!!!!

Stop

“The main house,” I said

“Okay, I'll be there soon. I love you princess” he said

“I love you too,” I said before hanging up
