NICCOLO'S POV

Fuck. Its fucking Karl Petrov. I call Stephano and ask him to send a team to clean up the mess.

I hear a scream and turn to the door to see my baby terrified, just staring at the passed out motherfucker.

"Baby.." she shakes her head.

"N-no" she whimpers. Shit.

I walk closer and block her view. She looks up at me with innocent eyes.

"I-is he dead?" she asks me.

"No baby"

"Why is he here?" she asks.

"The motherfucker broke in, i dont know what the fuck he wants with you" My jaw and fists clench at the thought of him even being near Aria.

"why would he do that? do you know him"

"Baby, ill explain everything, right now i need you to pack your bags. Youre staying with me." I say.

ARIA'S POV

"What? no." i say. Im not going to live with him.

"You cant stay here bambina, now go"

"No ill stay at a hotel or something or ill find a new place-"

"I want to come home to you" My mouth parts and i look at him. My eyes tear up. I lean up and kiss him.

"Are you sure? We've only been together for a few weeks" I process it further. "No Nick, you live with alot of people and i dont want to disturb them, i cant"

"Baby i was going to ask you to move in anyway, i already asked about it at the dinner table too. And I barely get any sleep without you in bed, and safe" he says, one of his hands on my face, thumb stroking my cheek.

Now im full on crying.

"You made me a pussy"

"Ew, i dont like that word" i say scrunching up my face. He kisses my nose and mumbles a sorry.

Soon, some people come in and take away the unconscious man. Im a little anxious about the fact that if i didn't decide to buy random shit, i could've gotten home to the intruder.

I didn't get a close enough look, but his hair looked familiar.

I sigh and grab my suitcase. I have many clothes, not so many shoes, so ill be able to fit everything in this and a smaller bag maybe. Should i take all of my things? This is weird.

"Baby, if you can, get all your things today, i dont want you coming back here, sì?" I hear Nick as he enters my room. "Is the furniture yours?".

"No its not mine, the four dinner plates and cups are, but im willing to leave them behind." i say cheekily. He chuckles and kisses my head. "Are you sure its not too soon? I mean it took you days to even confess feelings, i dont mind living-"

"Neonata, get your sexy ass in my car, we are going home." he says.

Ok.

We're in the car, Nicks driving, we are headed to the estate. I dont know how I feel about this. Ill be living with a Mafia family? I mean they are all so nice, warm and caring, I feel at ease with them.

I guess it'll take time to adjust, but ill be fine. I just hope no one is upset about me being there.

We reach and Nick helps me out before we walk into the house.

"Arii" i hear a squeal and see Alaia beaming at me. She hugs me and i giggle.

"hi" i say.

"We're going to like live together!" she says really excited. I smile at her and see almost everyone also in the foyer. I greet everyone and they all say how happy they are, which eases my anxiety a little.

After dinner, Nick and I head to bed and i almost instantly fall asleep in his arms.

The next morning, i wake up feeling incredibly hot. I open my eyes to see Nick almost on top of me. I groan.

"Nickkkk" i whine. He growls a little. I smile lazily. Suddenly, he turns, arms still around me and I squeal as he flips us over, now im on top of him. Eh, atleast im not hot anymore.
