EPILOGUE
Kamilla Ross
Months later….
The sun this morning was perfect in its steady degree. The wind ruffled the white curtain, ruffling my hair along with it. Standing in front of the mirror, I smooth the white dress over my body, I look beautiful as a bride. My eyes are lined with beautiful eyeshadow and perfect eyeliner. Bianca is behind me, holding my veil that she will place on my head, I see tears in her eyes.
— Stop crying, you're going to make me cry too!
— I complained to her, the makeup is not waterproof.
— You're getting married, baby boo! She wipes the corner of her eyes with emotion. — Why are weddings so exciting?!
I turned to her, I smiled emotionally, holding back the tears. I approach her and hug her, she sobs and cries with emotion.
— Bianca. — Hi! — She answers me, sniffing her nose.
— This is a wedding, not a wake.
— I know! — Then stop crying. I chuckled, finding it funny.
I hear baby noises, I turn to the bed and see my beautiful Paola, she had just woken up from her nap. She looked beautiful in her emerald gown, it matched her eyes, just like mine.
After I reconciled with Nick, the next morning we returned home, Erick missing the home he grew up in. The first few weeks were perfect, Nick and I loved each other like crazy, overcome with euphoria and excitement. Nick changed radically, for me and our children, he was the perfect man, an ideal role model for a father and husband, I felt lucky to have him in my life. But even though he was the perfect man with us, I often saw the news talking about the king of the underworld, cold and fearless, I didn't care anymore.
We traveled as a family, Nick took us to Hawaii, we went boating, we visited different places, everything with him was perfect. I admired what Nick had become, he was a true drooling father, I regularly saw him playing with Paola, making fun of her to get a single toothless smile, that warmed my heart.
The bedroom door is opened by Erick, he was dressed in a tuxedo, beautifully groomed. He approaches Paola, carefully places her in her arms. Over time, he accepted his little sister, many times when she was very tired, he would take her out of the crib and take her to her bed, taking good care of her.
— Dad is asking for you. — he says, putting the pacifier back into Paola’s mouth.
— Your father is very hasty. — Bianca said, wiping my eyes and directing me to turn to put the veil.
— Did the guests arrive, little one? — I asked, Nick said he would invite acquaintances, close to his business.
— Yes, even Uncle Viktor, arrived accompanied by a blonde.
I felt a great grip on the veil, I muttered in pain, Bianca apologized. I could see that the information bothered her, but not enough to make her upset.
— You’re ready. — Bianca said, giving a huge smile. — Where’s my dad?
—Here! — He opens the door and speaks eagerly.
— By God! — She’s perfect, Mia!
— Thank you, Dad. — Smile for him.
My father reached out and waited for me to take her, all together, we went down the stairs and entered the garden, where the ceremony would take place. The guests are already in their places, Bianca went to the first bench along with Paola in her arms and Erick.
I shook Dad’s hand, was nervous with so many unknown eyes directed at me.
— If you want to escape, there’s still time. — my father said.
— Dad! — I rebuked him.
— What? Not that I don’t want you to get married, I’m just saying, in case you have any questions.
I know what I want, I want Nick.
— Is he your happiness? — He asked.
— He completes me, we complete each other.
— I hope he makes you happy, if not, I’ll start a war!
He stopped talking when we approached Nick, he looked beautiful in his black overcoat. His blue spheres looked at me with admiration and desire, I felt my cheeks warm.
Nick held out his hand to me, I looked at him, quickly took, heavens…. I’m getting married!
My father gives me to the man I love, who completes me and makes me happy.
Before the judge, he smiles at us, the ceremony begins:
— We are gathered here to celebrate the union of a couple, Paola Bellucci and Nick Ross. A couple with different lives and personalities, who even with flaws, were able to love above all else.
The time came to change the rings, Nick took the box out of his pocket, opened it and took my hand.
— You are the woman who makes me better than me, makes me feel alive, with a purpose to wake up every morning. Being a father and a better man, you taught me to love, to value the true meaning of love. And that’s why I want you by my side forever, my green eyes. — Nick put the ring on my finger, tears in his eyes, took the ring and approached his finger.
— You were the first man who took me to the magical world of pleasure and lust, you were the one who made me look the other way, taught me so many things, gave me a son, a beautiful girl with green eyes. You made me feel alive, you gave me a feeling of life, of fighting, of having what I have today, you, our children, even the dozen dogs you’ve bought in recent days. — The guests smiled, he smiled too. — You are an excellent man, an excellent father, I have no doubt that the baby that is growing inside me will be very well-loved.
Everyone was surprised by the revelation, Nick too.
I looked at Bianca, she was shocked, Erick was happy with the news. The judge then declared:
— With the stable union of these two couples and the power invested in me, I declare them husband and wife! — With that, Nick and I kissed passionately.
There was a lot of applause for us, we broke the kiss and turned to everyone.
In the ballroom, Papa and Bianca approached.
— You didn’t think to tell us? — asked Bianca.
— It was a surprise.
— You should have told me, since I’m your father.
— You are so dramatic. — I smile at them.
Viktor approached us, accompanied by a beautiful woman.
— Good morning, everyone! — he greeted us, with his eyes fixed on Bianca, but then he took his eyes off her.
— Good morning! — Nick replied. — I didn’t know you were coming.
— Last minute decision, I could not leave this beauty alone. — he said, referring to the woman next to him.
The woman looked at my daughter who was in Bianca’s arms, quickly approached her, trying to please her.
— What a beautiful baby! —Can I take it?
Bianca answered and said:
— She’s allergic to flies.
Without saying anything else, Bianca walked away from us, taking my daughter.
The woman was embarrassed, but quickly recovered and returned to Viktor’s side.
The party went well, we danced, ate and talked to all the guests, Nick introduced me to everyone. At the end of the party, we changed clothes and left for our honeymoon, the children would be taken care of by Bianca and Viktor, did not like to share the same ceiling, even if it was only for a week.
Nick and I went to Brazil, specifically Fernando de Noronha, the place was amazing, everything was beautiful. Arriving at the hotel, we opened the room with what we do best, had sex all night. During the day we went to the beach, went by boat and dived in that crystal clear water, the honeymoon was perfect.
Over the months my belly grew, I was carrying a boy, Erick was very happy. The day he had little Daniel, he was born strong and healthy.
Nick and I were happy for our life because it was growing so fast. After the marriage, Nick took over my father’s business, even with all the power he wanted me to lead by his side, although I wanted to refuse, I was tempted to accept.
Together we strengthened the Italian mafia syndicate and its criminal underworld, Nick taught me everything.
Ultimately, I was at his side to lead our family and criminal organization.
End!
