Heaven Venezia:-
"Everything alright, husband?" I asked with a smirk when I found him checking me out from head to toe. He gulped and his eyes darken with desire as they always used to do and I felt a hope building deep inside of me. Not a hope but a promise that he will be back to me very soon, with all the memories.
"You need to go and change." he growls in response and I chuckled, so did Rick who stood a few feet away from me.
"Told you, memories or not, he is still possessive." Rick grins "I will go and check if the doctors are here while Cedric is heading to Carmen to get the next drug supply for Giovanni. You try to spend a great time with your husband and children. You deserve it and try to take it easy and you know why."
I just nodded and smiled at him gratefully and watched Rick walking away. Giovanni was still staring at me so I turned back to him while his gaze was still firmly on me. He moved closer to me and put his hand around my waist.
"What does he mean by the next drug suppy and why did he ask to take things easy? Is everything alright?" he asked concerned.
"You don't need to worry about that, Gio. Let me take care of these things. You just focus on your health." I tell him but he shook his head and sighed.
"Di...Did I make you work like this everyday when I had my memories? Were you still taking care of all this...ummm...ma...mafia?" he asked and I knew what he meant.
This mafia things is new for him, when he was born into this world, raised to be the next Don, and when he took over, he became the most ruthless and dangerous Don of the history, but with soft spot for innocent. He wasn't like other Don's who will just go for the kill. He fought for the innocents and got them justice by eliminating the evil from Italy, when the law fails to punish them.
"Gio, I know this is new to you,for now, but you have to understand they all call you Boss for a reason." I tell him with a smile "You are not an ordinary man. You are the Don of this Italian mafia organization. Everyone fears you, while innocents and victims loves you for providing them with a good life and justice."
"Was I really like that? A dangerous Don?" he asked, more to himself than me. I smiled and nodded my head.
"Yes, you are known as predator and we need to keep that image of yours. Just forget about this for now and let's go have breakfast downstairs. Your mom and dad are waiting on the breakfast table for us and their grandchildren." I tell him, and begin to turn around when he glared at me, then looked down at my robe.
"Not before you change, wife." he growled, and for a moment I thought my Giovanni was back, but I knew it was just his memory triggering and his natural habit towards me.
I grinned at him, laughing to lighten the mood. "Alright, alright. I'll go change." As I walked towards the closet, I looked over my shoulder and saw him staring at each move I made. Well that possessive glint in his eyes had not faded one bit and it filled me with joy.
When I got back, fully clothed again, which was better for the situation, Giovanni was leaning against the door and staring at me with admiration as if he was seeing me for the first time. "Better?" I teased.
He grinned and put an arm around me while leading me down the stairs. "Much better, wife."
Entering the dining room, his parents were sitting there, they looked up and smiled at us, Gabriella was leading the way skipping and happy, and Lorenzo was in the arms of Giovanni. Lucianna looked happy and reached out to kiss Giovanni's cheek while, Gabriella ran to hug her grandparents and greeted them saying Good morning in Italian.
Giovanni sat down on the head chair, and put Lorenzo in a high chair right next to him. Our little boy without thinking looked up and extended his hand to grab hold of Giovanni’s thumb with as much force as a little baby can hold. Giovanni smiles and ruffled his hair.
"Good morning, son. How are you feeling now?" Matteo asked with a smile, "It's so good to see you present on the breakfast table once again."
He smiled subdued but real at the same time. "Good morning, Mom. Dad."
When there was time for breakfast, Gabriella gave her Gio a piece of toast with a lot of pride. "Papa, eat this one. I made it just for you. I put the butter on it, just the way you like."
"Well, thank you, my little chef." Giovanni thanked Gabriella and took a bite of toast provided by her, then glanced at me and looked down at my plate which was still sitting empty as I was afraid to eat something without feeling sick.
"Aren't you going to eat something?" he asked "Your plate is still empty. You need to eat."
"Oh, I wi...." I was about to say something when one of the men entered holding a manila envelope in his hand and nodded at me and I nodded back.
"Donna, this just came in for you." he informs and Matteo stood up, taking the envelope from the man.
"Who sent this and did you have it examine before bringing in?" Matteo demands "Where is Rick? Call him here."
"Dad," I stood up, and placed my hand on his shoulder "Children are here." I reminded him and he sighed "Why don't you stay here and let me have a look at it, okay?"
"I am coming with you." Giovanni announced and I shook my head, while he glared at the man "Who's the sender?"
" The sender is anonymous, Don." the man looked down at his feet ashamed "Asked to be given specifically to Donna."
