“If you don’t apologize to Zara in the next thirty seconds, the whole deal is off and I will take my entire army into Vegas and we will tear your empire to the ground. She is my woman and she will be treated with respect from all of you. Do I make myself clear?”
She was made for me, that I am sure of.
I know I loved Leila, but it didn’t feel anything like this. There wasn’t this fire. We grew up together; we fell in love over time. This is the opposite. Zara threw herself into my life and consumed me entirely.
She is my life.
My family is this dysfunctional one we’ve created. Men who would lay down their lives for me, that I trust. This woman is also part of that.
“And those are the ones you never let go of,”
“You’re mine. I want you in every sense of the word. My wife.” “It only counts if you get down on your knees, sir.”
If he wants to marry me, he can damn well ask me properly. I’m certain my heart belongs to him. No matter how much I tried to fight him, it was always meant to be his.
“You really want me to pop you out a goddamn heir?” I laugh, because this is a joke. A serious expression settles on his face, his jaw visibly clenches. I stop laughing. Shit. “You’re for real, aren’t you?” He leans in, his lips grazing my ear. “Deadly. I want you by my side, where you belong.” He grips my arms almost hard enough to bruise in his intensity.
“Just imagine, coming home from work and mini versions of us running around the house causing chaos. With two parents who will burn down the earth to protect them. Family, dolcezza. We can build a legacy, a home. We can have everything we fucking deserve in life. I want that with you.”
“You really want this?” My voice is a squeak, heavy with doubt. In one swift motion, he yanks me flush against him, my hands pressed against his chest, feeling the frenzied pounding of his heart. “I have never been more sure of anything in my life.” “I’m not marrying you until you get down on your knees and do it properly.” “We’ll see about that.”
“You will wear my ring. You will be my wife. You’ll see.” I want both of those things, his last name and his baby.
“Anything you want in the world, it’s yours, dolcezza. You want me to shut down the entire city for you, I will.”
“Yes really. Those girls were never mine to be possessive over. You, however, are all mine. And I don’t share. At all.”
I’ve never been a jealous person, but, for Zara, I’d kill someone for looking at her the wrong way.
She is the only reason I wanted a baby, because it’s her.
Zara and our baby will always be my priority.
According to Enzo, Jane has the same attitude as her daughter. She’s strong. She knew something was happening with George. That still didn’t stop her from making Enzo promise to video call me. He said she wants to grill me about Zara to make sure that I am taking care of her.
I’ve known that I was in love with him for a long time. I tried to fight it, but it was a losing battle. My heart belonged to him from the moment we met.
“I love you, Frankie. You brought me to life and I want to give you this, the family you deserve. I’ll always be by your side, no matter what. Even if you never love me completely, I know I’m enough for you. I know, in your own way, you love me, too.”
“In every single lifetime, it will always be you, Zara. I would go through the torture I’ve dealt with a thousand times over if it meant that you were my reward. You make everything worth it. Every ounce of pain I’ve ever felt was to bring me to you. My undying love for you is unquestionable. No matter what life throws at us. You, Zara. You are my inevitable, my love and my purpose.”
“I love you.” I can’t even hide my smile. “Ti amo,” I whisper back. “Sei la mia anima gemelli.” You are my soulmate.
“Always mine, angel. I love you.” “I love you, sir.”
“You better hope to god nothing happened to those girls, or my Frankie, Alex. Or, I’ll end you myself.”
He brings me strength, and he brings me to life. With him by my side, I can conquer anything.
“Marry me, Zara. I’m down on my knees for you. I love you. Marry me.”
He fucks me with no holding back, slamming inside me over and over again. I’m screaming out his name, all while fighting for breath. I can’t take much more.
“I wish I could take this pain away, dolcezza.” He lowers his forehead to mine. “You do. Every day, you make it better.” “I’m so fucking lucky I get to call you mine,” he says, pressing a kiss to my lips that has me craving more. “You’re quite the catch yourself, Mr. Falcone.” “Is that right?”
“Zara, this is our life. This is how I have lived for years, except this time, I truly have something to live for, to fight to come back to. So, I will.”
“Badass, now that is the perfect way to describe you, baby.”
There is just one last piece to put into place… making Zara my wife. My forever.
He takes my breath away.
“I’m so proud of you, Zara. You’ve got yourself a keeper there.” She winks and looks to Frankie, who smiles at her.
He knew what he was doing. It was perfect. And now, I am officially who I was always meant to be. Mrs. Falcone.
“What’s the matter, baby? Something is eating at you.” He tips my chin up, searching my eyes. “I’m pregnant,” I almost whisper; I’ve been scared to even say it out loud.
I have everything I could ever want, a husband who would burn down the world with me and I’m carrying his baby.
“I fucking love you, Zara Falcone. Today, tomorrow and every single moment until I take my last breath. You are the best thing to ever happen to me, and I will cherish you and all of our babies forever.”
“We can’t live with what ‘if’s’. We take the punches as they’re thrown and we fight back harder. Together, we are unstoppable, baby. Never forget that. I’ve got you.”
“I love you, Frankie. I just want to give you everything, like you have for me.” “You already have, angel.” He places my palm on his cheek. “We’ve got this,” he whispers.
“I am all yours, always have been, let’s face it.” He winks.
I need to know how he fucks as a husband.
I’m confident everything in my life has led me to Zara. She is who I have always belonged to. I know my true meaning, to love this woman with everything I have.
“I still think about that night, you know. The first time I tasted your sweetness. I knew then that you would be it for me.”
“Only the best for an ass as perfect as yours, baby. Now, watch me in the window.”
Everyone hides under a mask of some description. It’s who we are as mankind. There will always be parts of we want to conceal. The trick is to find someone who sees every part of you, no matter how ugly. They won’t try to change you, they embrace the darkness.
And I vow to show her that she owns me completely, no matter what life may throw at us. There is not a single doubt that our love will give us the power we need to take on the world. And, if all else fails, we will have one hell of a time burning it to the fucking ground together. Now that is true love.
Every day I wake up with the two loves of my life, I’m a happy man.
I shake my head with a chuckle. “Fucking hell, I told you we should have just made this into a daycare,” I mutter and they all laugh.
