As Mia scanned her fingerprint to open the door of her apartment, Alessandro beat her to it, entering first. and shouting loudly, "Gial Maximol"
The whole house was startled, including the kids. But recognizing the familiar voice, the twins ran out of their room, their eyes sparkling with joy as they spotted Alessandro standing in the living area, stretching his arms wide for them. Gia and Maximo looked at each other, beaming before they screamed together, "Daddy!" and ran toward Alessandro.
Alessandro kneeled on the floor as both kids crashed into his cambrace.
God, he had missed them so much.

"We missed you too, Daddy! So very much!" Gia and Maximo admitted in unison.
Mia closed the door behind her, crossed her arms across her chest, and stood watching the emotional reunion of Alessandro and the kids with a soft smile.
"Daddy, promise me that you won't leave us ever," Gia said, pouting as her bright, innocent eyes looked up at him.
"Daddy will never abandon you, sweetheart," Alessandro vowed, looking at his little princess as his throat tightened with emotion.
"Daddy, now you can't back out. You promised us," Maximo threatened in his sweet voice.
Alessandro chuckled.
"I didn't leave on my own, buddy. Your mom threw me out of the house," Alessandro said, nodding to Mia.
This made Mia narrow her eyes at him in annoyance. This cunning mafia man was provoking her children against her.
How wicked he was!

Mia sighed. Alessandro and the kids had teamed up against her.
"Alright, no one is going anywhere tonight, so calm down," Mia said with exasperation.
"Yay! Daddy, let's go to our room!" Gia chimed, her excitement bubbling over as Alessandro scooped her up into his arms. Maximo stood nearby, his small hands planted firmly on his waist, looking sullen and left out.
"Alright, champ, come here," Alessandro said with a warm smile, extending his other arm to Maximo. With a quick movement, he picked up his little carbon copy, holding both children close.

"Daddy is the strongest!" Gia gushed, her eyes wide with admiration, making Mia giggle with amusement.
Her baby girl was completely smitten by her daddy, viewing him as the mightiest king in the world who could fulfill her every wish.
Mia shook her head, a smile still lingering on her face, but her gaze shifted to the corner of the room. There stood Emily, silently watching. When their eyes met, Emily's expression remained unreadable, her thoughts carefully masked. Yet, Mia could sense the unspoken questions and silent judgments beneath the surface, and she quickly looked away.
"Alright, kids, let's get ready because we are going out for dinner. It's celebration time now that your mother has agreed to let me stay with you all," Alessandro announced happily as he carried the kids to their room. their giggles echoing through the hallway.
Emily watched as the kids room door clicked shut before striding purposefully toward Mia. Her steps were quick, and the tension in the air was palpable. Mia bit her lip, still grappling with the new arrangement between her and Alessandro, unsure of how to explain it when she didn't fully understand it herself. Without a word, she quietly made her way toward her room. "Mia!" Emily called out urgently, noticing Mia's attempt to slip away discreetly.
Emily, let's get ready. We have only a little time to decide what to wear for dinner," Mia said, her nervous. voice betraying her desire to avoid the impending confrontation.
"Mia, how could you do this to Adam?" Emily demanded, her voice rising as she followed Mia into the room, shutting the door behind them for privacy. She had seen Adam pursuing Mia so desperately. Emily had always hoped Mia would end up with him and build a great life together. -What have I done to Adam. Emily?" Mia asked in a soft and tender voice, turning to face her friend with a calm composure
"He just proposed to you, and now you're back with that monster ex-husband of yours?" Emily accused, her eyes blazing with anger and disbelief.

"He is not my ex-husband. He is my husband. And secondly, I can't marry Adam just because he proposed to me." Mia responded, sighing deeply as she tried to assert her point. "Adam is a really great guy, any girl would be lucky to marry him. I consider him a good friend and am
so grateful for all his supp. But after trying so hard to move on and give Adam a chance, I couldn't make myself love him the way he deserves. I can't marry him
just because he wants me to. It wouldn't be fair to him."
"So, you love that monster who wanted to kill you and the kids?! What happened to you, Mia?" Emily snapped, her voice rising with desperation as she tried to knock some sense into her best friend.
Mia felt utterly helpless against her own traitorous heart. She knew being with the Italian don was dangerous, but even all the hatred she tried to hold onto wasn't enough to suppress the love she still felt for him. Now, despite everything, she found herself back in his life, wanting a future with him.
That... that was the past. Now Alessandro seems happy with the kids, and my kids are very happy. That's all that matters to me," Mia muttered coldly, her eyes hardening as she walked past Emily to the walk-in closet to pick a dress.
"Mia, if I were in your place, I would never consider returning to my ex-husband, no matter how much he changed or asked for forgiveness. It's very unwise," Emily said curtly, her voice laced with disapproval.

"You can say that easily because you don't have kids with him!" Mia snapped, her frustration boiling over at her best friend's constant judgment.
But the moment the words left her mouth, she saw the pain flash across Emily's face, freezing her in place. Mia's heart sank as she realized the weight of what she had just said.
"Shit! Emily, I am so sorry, babe. I didn't mean to say that," Mia blurted, rushing toward her. But Emily stood still, her expression hardening, eyes cold and distant. Mia knew then she had made the biggest mistake of her life. 736
