Amora.

After talking with both of Mr Antoniano's parents, we had lunch and talked with each other. They both are so nice. They treat me like their daughter rather than their daughter-in-law. The food, don't even get me started on that, it was so amazing.

We speak about how the wedding should be and what needs to be done. I want a small wedding. Just our family. I am not ready to face anyone. No one. Mr. Alessandro didn't say a word when I told them what I wanted. They agreed.

It's weird, but peace has finally come into my life. Like, I don't need to be alert or on guard. I can just sit back and relax and do what I want to do. And I don't want to cover myself or do anything I don't want to do.

"a smile", Mr. Alessandro's voice brings me out of my mind. I shake my head, "we need to do something about your head thing, Mia Moglie", Mr. Antoniano says, sitting next to me on the couch, maintaining a distance. He is so fucking caring, and I am going to die.

"we will", I say, looking at me. His lips break into a smile. There is a sense of safety around him that I can't help but feel shy or say things that are in my heart. And he doesn't seem to mind it.

"Emma" my voice calls out to me, making my eyes fill with tears.

Dad.

I turn towards the voice to see my dad standing, his eyes on me, and my mom standing next to him. A sob leaves my mouth at the sight of them. It's been so long.

So long, till I saw them today. I missed them so much.

Mom runs and wraps her arms around me, crushing me. But I like it; I would love to get crushed by her hugs if I can meet her. Hear her voice. Her warmness surrounds me when she hugs me. She kisses my head. Coming out of shock.

I wrap my arms around her as tears wet my cheek. Feeling my heart fill with the emptiness that was aching for my parents. My dad sits beside me and holds my hand. I look down; he is going to be mad that I didn't tell him about Rocco.

"my baby", saying my dad hugs me, and after so long. I feel safe; I am finally safe. He arms around as my face lays on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. His heartbeat made me feel safe.

After so long, I am safe.

I pull out the hug, "why didn't you call me? I would have taken you back to our house. But no problem, the capo was there." he says, as he pats my hair and caresses my cheek in care.

"you don't need to worry about anything. Okay," mom says, I nod my head. She rubs my back, comforting me. God, I missed them so much.

"you should have told us about that bastard. Amora." Dad says he never calls me by my name, and if he does, that means he is angry with me. I bite my lips, not knowing what to say to him.

If I say that I was scared of rocco.

I don't know what he will do. I don't want him to go near Rocco. I just want everyone away from him.

I don't even want Rocco to do anything to Dad and mom. I need to keep them away from him.

"my baby, you don't need to be scared of anything, I am here. You don't need to live with him. I won't let my lovely, beautiful daughter stay with him," Dad says. I nod, overwhelmed with emotions.

"thank you, Mr.Alessandro" " Maa says, looking at the former capo. He nods and looks at me, showing me his smile.

"Now, pack your stuff, and let's get you in your soft bed that is waiting for you in your house." I smile at my dad. My bed, ahhh, finally my home. My house. My room. My bedsheets. My everything.

I nod like a child at my parents.

But

But I am getting married. I look at Mr.Antoniano, confused. Didn't Mr. Alessandro talk to Dad about us getting married?

If they did, then why is Dad telling me to go home with them?

Ohh, yes. I am not married to Mr.Antoniano yet. What nonsense was I thinking, they must know. Mr. Alessandro must have told them, and he called my dad.

They both should know about this.

Why would I live with Mr Antoniano when I am not even married? I should not live with him; it's not right. I should not live with someone who is not married. He took me to his house because I was not in the condition to go to my parent's house.

Yeah. That's right. I am right.

"Why don't we talk, Adam?" Mr. Alessandro says as Dad gets up, ready to say bye to them and leave with me to go to our house.

But why was his voice nervous? Why is he nervous? I shouldn't think too much.

"Why, capo. We can talk another time. I want to spend time with my daughter." Dad says. His happiness was reflected in his voice and his inability to take me back to our home. I smile at him. I missed him, his silly jokes.

"yes, capo. You and Adam can talk another time. I promise I will personally see to it that he comes and visits you as soon as possible. Please let us leave," saying mom grabs my hand. I stand up, eager to go home.

"just a second, please," Mrs. Alessandro says and grabs me. Alessandro's hand pulled him down to her height, not in a soft way, but in a harsh manner. And whisper something into his ear.

And he nods at something she said. She laughs and then glares at me. Mr.Alessandro hits his arms. She hit it so hard. A gasp leaves my mouth as she stares at Mr.Antoniano, and he looks down, rubbing the back of his neck.

What happened? Why is she glaring at them in so much anger?

She turns and smiles at us.

"I know, you both want to talk Amora back to your house. And spend time with her. But I request you both, Mr. And Mrs. Russo. Please. Just wait. Adam, please talk to him," she says, looking at Mr. Alessandro if she could kill Mr.Alessandro, I think she could kill him.

"Please, I request you, Adam," she says, looking at my dad.

He looks at my mom, and she nods. "okay, we can talk, capo" " Dad says, and Mr Alessandro and Mr. Antoniano go with them. They go to a private area to talk.

Maybe they want to talk about the mafia.

"Why don't we sit down and talk?" Mrs. Alessandro says, and we sit down.

What was so important that it needed to be talk right now?
