“What’s your name?”

“Chloe” I said while looking at Leon.

“Lie” the guy sitting next to him said as he looked at the device.

“My name is Anastasia Giovanna Gonzalez” I said

“True”

“Were you working with your father in Mexico?" Leon asked

“No” I said and he looked at the guy

“True”

“Did they force you to turn against me or something?”

“Yes”

“True”

“So that's what you meant when you said you didn't have a choice”

“Yes. He had a sniper at the motel and the party which is why I did what I did”

“True”

After explain everything Leon he exhaled before holding his head.

“Your father was-”

“I killed him along with my uncle and his army” I stated as Liliana smirked at me.

“True”

“Wait you were the one who did that?” Hunter asked.

“Yes”

“But there were like hundred guards-"

“A little bit more than that but yes” I said.

“By yourself right” Leo asked.

“Yup I am his little killing machine” I said while looking at Liam who looked away.

“True”

“Wow” Silas whispered and I got up.

“Okay I'm done answering your questions. Where's my daughter?”

“She’s sleeping” Gia said and I nod before looking at Leon.

“I wasn't lying when I said I love you” I said and we both looked at the guy.

“True” he said and I pulled the clips off my fingers.

“Can you take me to her" I asked Liliana and she nod.

We walked out of the room and she brought me upstairs.

“So what now?”

“I’m gonna get my daughter and leave which ever country I'm we're in right now. Hopefully I don't see any of your faces again no offense” I said

“Your taking Royalty away” she asked and Leo joined us

“Yes” I said.

“Away from Leon, her father" Leo said

“Yes" I said

“You can't-" Leo started

“She can” Liliana said and Leo looked at her

“It makes no sense we fight about it either" she added

“Look Giovanna taking Royalty away would break Leon in more ways that you think” she said

“I met him when he was three years old I know what he's feeling right now and I couldn't imagine how he’ll feel if you leave with his daughter” Leo said

“How would you feel if you didn't know your father?”

“Actually I wished I didn't know him or my mother” I said

“Okay bad example” he said and I nod in agreement.

“I just want a new life. I don't want me daughter to grow up in this, to know the type of monster her mother was” I said and a tear ran down my cheeks

I quickly wiped it away before running my fingers through my hair.

“Nothing you guys say will ever make me change my mind.

I walked into the room and I saw my bag on the floor as Lily watched Royalty sleep

“Hi” she said

“Hey” I said before picking up my bag.

I took up Royalty before walking to the door

“Wait are you leaving or something”

“Yes”

“We’ll be able to see her right”

“Where are you?”

“Italy” she said and I nod

“We’re leaving the country”

“But-”

“Bye Lily" I said before walking out.

Leo and Liliana was gone. I went back down the stairs and walked to the front door.

“Giovanna” I turned around to see Leon.

“No" he said and I rolled my eyes

“Yes” I said

“Your not leaving with my daughter”

“Watch me” I said and his mother appeared behind him

“Giovanna-”

“I made up my mind Leon” I said

“You can't-”

“I can and you'll watch us leave”

“Giovanna please” he said while walking towards me.

“I deserve the right to be in my daughter's life don't take that away from me”

“I’m not taking your right away Leon. You can always communicate with her over the phone or something”

“I want her here in Italy in my house with me” he said

“That’s not happening” I said and he grabbed my arm.

“Leon let her go" Liliana said

“You should listen to your mother because I can break arm even though I'm holding am holding her” I said and he released.

“Okay okay”

“Just don't leave” he said as tear ran down his cheek.

“Please” he said

“She’s my daughter”

I looked away and he got on his knees

“Please don't take my daughter away" he cried and Royalty began moving..

He's actually crying

This is the first time I've seen him cry

“Leon get up” I said as the room started to get crowded.

“Tell me won't take her away please” he said before hugging my legs.

Is this really Leon

Because I do not recognize him

“Leon please get up” I said as the guards in the room looked down at him weirdly.

“No" he said

“I'm on my fucking knees. Don't leave with my daughter please” he said and I looked up as his family. They all had hope in their eyes.

“I'll get a hotel somewhere around here and send you the address" I said and he looked up at me.

“Now please get up” I said and he got up.

“Go to own of my hotel's and stay in my penthouse”

“Okay" I shrugged.

“Can I borrow a car?" I asked and he nod.

I looked up at him and me heart broke more. He gave me his eyes and I wiped his tears.

After catching up with myself I removed my hand and walked out.

••°•

As Royalty slept I went to the bathroom. I started tearing off my fake skin off my face

I decided to dye my hair back into the shade it was in Russia.

After that I took out the contacts and took a shower. When I got out of the bathroom Royalty woke up

I quickly got dressed then realized I didn't have anything for her to eat.

I called Leon and gave him a small list of things I needed right now for her.

“What the fuck are Huggies” Leon asked

“I don't know” Gio- Liam said

“It’s a diaper brand. Ask a worker there and they'll help find them” I said

“Why didn't you bring your mom instead of your dad and Liam” I said

“She does has a point” Liam said.

“True” Leo said and Royalty began crying

“Can you guys maybe hurry up" I said

“Okay" Leon said and I hung up.

I went to the fridge but don't find alcohols. I then went to the cabinet and opened them.

“Mama”

“Yes baby”

“Food” she said while rubbing her eyes.

I heard the elevator and I grabbed Royalty. I ran to the bedroom and gave royalty the remote to play with. I grabbed the gun I found in Leon's car and slightly opened the door.

Stooping down I aimed my gun, I took the safe off and Liliana came into view.

“Always on guard nice” Liliana said and I placed the gun away making sure Royalty did see it.

“I got you some groceries” she said and I picked up Royalty.

“Really” I said and she nod.

We went to the kitchen and I went through the bag. I picked out a snacks from the bag and opened it before giving it to Liliana since she was holding Royalty.

The elevator dinged and Leon, Leo and Liam walked in.

They all have him with groceries bags.

“Leon” Royalty said while dancing in her seat

“It’s dada for you mama” he grinned began taking her into his arms not caring that what she was eating would get on him.

“Mama” she said

“No say dada” he said and he shook her head

“Mama” she said and he smiled before kissing her forehead.

He looked at me and I looked away.

“We should go” Leo said

“Wait can we talk Liam” I asked and he looked at Royalty.

“I see you around sis” he said before walking out.

“He’ll come around” Leo said and I nod.

I watched them leave before searching the bags for diapers.

“I need to give her a bath” I said and he nod.

He gave her to me and I walked to the room. After giving her a bath I dressed her into some fresh clean clothes.

“The monster is coming to get you ran” I said and she giggled as she ran out the room.

“Rawr” I said and she ran to Leon who was in the kitchen.

She hugged his legs while laughing as she searched for me. Leon lifted her up and she closed her eyes thinking I couldn't see her anymore since she can't see me.

“Where is she” I said while looking around

“Royalty” I called and she laughed

“Oh my god where's my baby” I said

“Mama" she said and I looked up at her.

“Oh there she is” I said before walking towards them as Leon smiled at us.

“Give mommy a kiss” I said and she kissed me.

“Now give daddy a kiss” I said and she looked at Leon before kissing him

“Dada” she said while hugging him.

“Something is burning” I said and Leon turned around before handing Royalty back to me.

“I didn't know you knew how to cook” I said

“Who did you think made that soup for you when you were on your-”

“You were the one who made it" I asked and he nod.

He had packed out all of the groceries

After he was done we ate before going to the living room area. Leon turned the TV on before putting on a cartoon.

We sat on the ground as he played with Royalty. After an hour she began rubbing her eyes.

I got up and went to the kitchen to make her some tea. When I was done I walked back to them.

“Come to mommy princess" I said

“Uh huh” she said before getting up.

She grabbed on to jacket and I walked to Leon since she was taking me to him.

She tapped on his chest before pointing at the bottle.

“What’s wrong mama?” he said

“You don't want it” he asked

“Uh huh” she said and I began walking to the kitchen making her fall on her bottom and started crying.

Oh no I get it.

“She wants you to feed her” I said while giving Leon the bottle.

“Me” he said and she stopped crying.

He took her into his arm and began feeding her. After a while she fell asleep.

“So I was thinking that maybe we could stay for awhile” I said and he sighed

“Okay”

“Leon I have a life in Russia. I'm real estate agent and good mother” I said

“You can be both right in Italy” he said

“No I can't we won't be the same” I said and he looked at me

“Why not?”

“Because it's just not okay” I said

He raised his hand up to my face before tracing the scar.

“Who-”

“Thiago" I said and he looked into my eyes.

My eyes wondered to his lips and I vegan leaning in. His hand went around the back of my neck as he pulled me in.

“No stop” I whispered before our lips could touch.

“I’m sorry" he said before moving away.

“You should probably go” I said and he nod.

He got up and brought her to the bedroom before placing her down

“How's your wife?” I asked

“Fuck" he said before taking out his phone.

“Fuck fuck fuck" he repeated before placing the phone as his ear.

He walked passed me before grabbing his jacket.

I sighed before cleaning up the kitchen and living room.

I entered the kitchen and Claudia was drinking from a bottle of vodka.

“What the fuck Claudia?” I was while grabbing the bottle.

“Are you fucking crazy? Your carrying my child for fuck sakes you can't be drinking this shit” I shouted at her

“I lost it" she said and I froze

“Yeah you would have known if you had stayed. I mean you put us last and put her and that baby first. I doubt you know that she's even yours” she said

“Her name is Royalty and I know she's mean” I said

“I don't care what her name is. You left us in that room because Giovanna called about-”

“Shut up Claudia you don't know-”

“Don’t tell me to shut up Leon. You said you love me but you were on your ready set go the moment Giovanna calls”

“I already told you that loving someone and being in love with someone is two different things plus it was about my daughter” I said

“So your still in love with?”

“Yes”

“Are you serious?”

“Dead serious Claudia. The type of love I have her doesn't just die-”

“Well it should have died the moment she tried to kill you”

“She didn't have choice”

“Are you hearing yourself. She shot you I wouldn't have” she said and I placed the bottle down.

“Go to bed your drunk” I said

“Your in love with someone who would kill you the moment they get the chance to”

And that's why it's so fucked up. She tried killing but yet I can't help but love her more.

I would have forgiven her no matter what she do.

I went my room and I locked the door.

Yes my room

Claudia and I doesn't shared a bedroom

Why? I didn't like cuddling or sleeping with anyone other from Giovanna.

I didn't have sex with her either I just gave the her my sperms and the doctors did the rest
