"You'll be fine, cuore mio. I have no doubt that you have everything covered. I do, however, need you to make up an extra suite. Vito Antonelli said he's going to be able to make it."
"Was that who you were on the phone to?" I asked.
Luca nodded. "I had called him to find out if he had made any headway in finding out who had taken out the D'Angelo family."
"Did he?"
"Not yet, but he did have some interesting information to share."
"What was that?" I asked.
"Turns out old man D'Angelo had a brief affair a couple of decades ago so there is one D'Angelo left alive. Currently, Vito is searching for him so he can bring him back here to Italy to take over the family business."
"Is this guy in the mafia?"
"Vito didn't say," Luca said, "but I didn't get that impression from him. If this guy isn't, it's going to be quite the shock for him when he's handed an entire mafia empire."
"I hope he find whoever did this."
"He will," Luca replied. "Vito is a smart man. He'll figure out who did this and make them pay."
Luca lifted me up and placed me on the desk in front of him, scooting between my thighs. "There is something else I want to talk to you about."
I squinted at the seriousness on Luca's face. "Is it my parents?"
Had they done something else?
"Kenji called me. It seems your father had racked up some debts gambling in one of his casinos. Since your father lost the company and their money, Kenji shipped them back to Japan to work in one of his factories. Considering the amount of money they owe him, I doubt they will be back."
I didn't say anything as I thought about that news and how I might feel about it. Strangely, it was only relief. I had no emotional connection to Isabella and Victor Rossi, not an ounce.
"Okay."
Luca's eyebrows lifted. "You're okay with this?"
I nodded. "They brought this on themselves."
"I just don't want you to have any regrets, Nico."
"I don't," I answer back. "Like I said, they brought this on themselves. They have no one to blame but themselves."
"If things change, you'll tell me?"
I looped my arms around Nico's neck. "Of course I will."
I discussed everything with Luca.
I do have one more bit of news for you," Luca stated. "I was kind of saving this as a surprise for you, but now is as good a time as any."
"What?"
"Gena has agreed to be a surrogate for us when we decide to have kids, well, two kids. One from you and one from me."
"We never discussed having kids."
"You want them, don't you?"
"Yes, of course," I said quickly so he'd know I was in favor of this idea. "I just never expected it to happen, especially since e never discussed it."
