Liliana
Six Months Later…
Eugenia patiently buttons up my gown while I admire myself in the full-length mirror. The house is alive with activity as preparations are made for my wedding day. After the tumultuous events of six months ago, Nico and I yearned for a joyous occasion to bring a sense of closure to our lives. The presence of the other three families at the celebration marks a symbolic union between the Rinaldi and Beneventi families, despite the hardships both families have faced. Having my best friend at my side is a comforting presence. The memory of the day she discovered I was still alive brings tears to my eyes. I kept the details of my past hidden from her, and she respects my desire to keep my mafia connections separate from our friendship.
Nico and his mother relocated to my compound, bidding farewell to the home that held nothing but pain within its walls. Together, we have been creating new, happy memories as a newfound family. While Mia initially had reservations about moving in with me following what happened between us, she has since forgiven me, and our bond has grown strong. A gentle knock at the door from Greta prompts us to make our way downstairs, with Eugenia clutching my bouquet. As bittersweet emotions well up within me, I am reminded that my departed parents and siblings are only present in spirit. Though their loss still weighs heavily on my heart, I find solace in cherishing the joy and love they brought into my life.
I have chosen to uphold my father's legacy by guiding the four families of Chicago into a new era. Our community now enjoys a rare peace, and we have forged an unshakable bond of trust. Accompanied by my new Consigliere, Frankie, I stride down the aisle towards the path destiny has laid out for me. Frankie bravely put his own life at risk to rescue me, and I will always be grateful to him for that. Through the darkest days of my life, Nico has been a steadfast presence by my side. His unwavering love has triumphed over my inner struggles, pulling me back from the brink. Together, we stand stronger than ever before. Our shared trials have only reinforced our unity, assuring that nothing can ever tear us apart…
THE END…
