—I have never felt judged by you, I have always felt something strange.

-Like what?

—This desire to know more in depth who Salvatore Marino is, I feel that I must trace the path with you because you always gave me your trust even though you did not want to do so, it was automatic.

—I just wanted to be different, I didn't want to behave like something I had already seen in my father's history.

—And I thank you Salvatore, for every time, space and detail, I thank you.

—I would always do everything for you, everything,principessa.

Moving everything away from the bed he hugs me around the waist, I take him from the back of the neck so I can kiss him despite the blood on my skin, when I move away he takes some gauze so he can clean my face.

—Good, now I want to hear everything from you Salvatore.

-About what?

—What happened yesterday and today while I was gone.

For a moment he thinks about it, his eyes remain fixed on my skin, which he washes with a little hydrogen peroxide. He removes the gauze and sighs, thousands of ways to tell me everything he thinks, feels or wants to express are already running through his head . Likewise, if you don't say anything to me today, I will always be willing to listen to you.

—With what happened yesterday I realized that—he exhales heavily—I don't want to lose you. I want everything with you, I want to end my life with you no matter what, but I don't want to lose you and I won't put you at risk either. The thing about taking you out of the country is still on, because things are going in the wrong direction and you are not going to die in my arms, Emily—he promises more for himself than for me—. I'm not going to allow it.

—You're not going to lose me and neither am I.

—In the same way I want you with me, safe and sound; Whatever happens, I must think about our future,” he reflects sternly. I want to see you in a white dress, I want to see you with a beautiful abdomen, I want to take care of you and take care of our baby if we have one. And in the midst of this I think I prefer not to wish because we are paying this sentence for the rivalry that we had to fix for a long time —I caress his neck—. I don't want to lose the opportunity to have a real story to tell with you, that's why I'm afraid, I'm afraid that what happened to Leon will happen to me when I let them know that you are my wife, that you will carry my baby.

"Honey," I murmur, catching her attention, "by then when we are married and have a baby on the way, I assure you that they will already be dead." Massimo, Alessio and Fabian. Helena is ruled out because she will kill herself soon, I assure you. But you and I will have something worth telling when we have a mini you or a mini me.

—Promise.

—I promise if you promise to stop worrying about the future, now we only care about our present.

Grabbing my hips and massaging my ass he accepts.

-I promise.

His lips and mine touch in a desperate caress, swearing our words in the middle of kisses, I keep his promise in my head for a good couple of seconds that turn into minutes.

—I will never get tired of kissing you.

—And I will never get tired of admiring you, principessa.

—I love you, diavolo.

—And I love you, love.

The touch of our mouths, our bodies and our fingers when we join hands fills my entire body with electricity. It's what I needed to hear after freeing myself as a beast, as a murderer, as a true queen of a land in Italy that will be recognized by the cruel lady they have within the Calabrian mafia.

It's all I needed to hear.

Soon I would be happy, at his side and he at my side, without impediments.

???

It had been a whole day since we were all as a family trying to support Leone, two days after I had collected my debts and I had no regrets. I hear their voices coming from the living room, I open the door and the three men see me, but David grabs my wrist with the phone over his ear, pulls it out and hands it to me.

-He is your father.
