Adriana POV
Later in the afternoon the front door is slammed hard. “Luke I need you and Jackson around, Caroline take Mariana to take a nap please, Linda!!?” Linda comes running she is our nanny/house keeper, “Linda please stay close to the kids they are napping, and close to Marina please.” She nods and walks away, then footsteps are heard I have seen him drunk, once and things didn’t end well, that time he though I had betrayed him, now that he wants my title he could act the same way. “Adriana??” He screams my name “I am here!!” I’m siting in one seater chair on the living room. As he shows his face I see his anger I try not to flinch and act scare. I am the mafia queen I have dealt with worse but none of them was the one I love. “What the f**k was that!!?” “Was what?” I have to asked what he is talking about, the vote? Me leaving behind? “Jaja… wow Adriana just wow” he says clapping his hands then continues, “why are you keeping my title? It’s my right I am the Italian mafia boss, I should be in charge there shouldn’t of have been a f*****g vote!!!! And then you just leave? LEAVING ME BEHIND!!? f*****g amazing!!” He definitely is crazy alright, “you were dead to everyone Alberto what did you expect? They needed someone to guide them I was, and I AM that someone, I am doing a BETTER JOB THAN YOU EVER HAD!!! Of course it is THEIR right to vote, they want me their mafia queen to guide them…..” I had so much more to say but before I could keep talking he came to me lifting me from my chair by my shoulder I whimper as his hands hold me tight enough to hurt. I think he will leave a bruise, “I don’t care Adriana listen to me carefully you will give up your title I will be the boss things will be done as I say DO YOU UNDERSTAND???” Is he threatening me? Because it sure sound like it, I shake my head “no Alberto things have changed, this is the new life this is how we live, we are not changing because you are back. That is not how things work around here!! Now if you don’t like it you know were the door is.” He then pushes me making me crash in the near wall which has a window I whimper again damn it it hurt. Luke and Jackson are watching in case I need them but I told them I would ask for them, not to intervene unless I call for them. After all this is a marital issue before business. He come closer pointing his index finger at me, “don’t you f*****g dare me Adriana, I will take MY title back, one way or the other.” “Kill me then go ahead Alberto kill the Mather of your children, it’s not like you haven’t hit me right? Because if I remember correctly you hit me while being pregnant.” I know I am taunting him but I need hit to get so piss he would end up leaving. “Don’t you go there Adriana!!” He yields at me, his hang grips my arms it hurts, “leave Alberto LEAVE MY HOUSE!!! And never come back!!” “Do you seriously think I will leave that easy? So you can f**k around is that it? Is that how you got every men in that meeting loyalties??” I had enough I push as hard as I could once my right hand was free I slapped him hard. The palm of my hand is as red as his cheek “you b***h,” before he could do anything I run and call for help “Luke!! Jackson!!” Within seconds they were holding Alberto back “take him out of my house let the guard know he is not allowed in my house til I say so.” I then walk up to my room, I jump on my bed as I let the tears fall, ‘why is it so difficult for him to understand that I am a women worth the same as him? I have done so much inside the mafia I can’t just let everything go because he is acting like a child. For three god damn years an pregnancy in between I have done the job of a men even better than he had. Women and men are equals why does he want to threat me like I am not worth enough?’ I keep crying holding a pillow in my arms, as I cry myself to sleep.
Third person POV
After Luke and Jackson literally threw Alberto in the sidewalk they told the guards that their queen had ordered not to let Alberto inn. They went inside the house Luke went to check on Mariana wanting to make sure she was doing fine. He didn’t like seeing her worry, Jackson headed towards Adriana’s room, but he didn’t even knock he didn’t have to. He could hear her crying it breaks his heart to hear her suffer just after finding her love one. He remembers how hard it was for her to wake up every morning with her morning sickness and the sadness of loosing Alberto. The Mafia is what kept her going what push her out of bed every day. It is because of the mafia that she didn’t break that she become stronger than she already was. Now hearing her crying again bring back does days, he doesn’t understand how Alberto could be so stupid. He is alive and he has reunited with his wife, they have two children together than why risk them for the mafia? Jackson will never understand, he walks to Mariana and Luke’s room he knows that’s were everyone is except for the kids. “How is she?” Marina is the first to ask, Jackson only shakes his head what can he say? “She is locked in her room crying” he finally said, Caroline hugs Jackson, while Luke rubs Marina’s back. “What did he do to her?” Caroline asks, “he is fighting her for the Italian mafia boss title.” Luke answer both Mariana and Caroline look each other in the eyes. “He can’t have the tittle guys you very well know what this means to her. The mafia is not just a way to gains money for her, she helped herself she helped us, and a lot of people with her tittle.” Caroline says “she is right we all know very well how much the mafia means to her, we can’t let him ruin her new life when he wasn’t even here to see her suffer.” Mariana adds, the guys look at each other in the eyes and nod. Luke and Jackson seem to have a plan to help their queen, because they know very well that she means well, she helps people, more than Alberto and his family all together ever did. She doesn’t even have problems with other mafias of the Government, the deaths in the mafia have lower a lot and they even have more people in it. Luke helps Mariana lay down and walks out his room after Jackson and Caroline. She walks to her room leaving Jackson and Luke behind. “We have to talk to everyone and let them know what is happening we can not let Alberto get away with taking her title away.” Luke says “we will but we also have to be careful not to get caught by Alberto, we don’t really know who he has been hanging out this past three years.” Luke nods and walks inside his room as Jackson goes to his, both laying in bed with their wives beside them thinking how they will make this work. They have to find a way to help their queen who they have learn to love as a sister.
