Raphael POV âRaphael, what time are we leaving?â - I hear Mariaâs voice behind of us and when I look at her she is bright red turning around âOh my God, cover yourself, someone couldâve come inâ - she says and Olivia giggles walking to baby Mel to check on her and I grab my shirt from the floor and curse for not having buttons anymore.
âYou can lookâ - I say and Maria turns around looking at me with a reprimand look.
âWhat time are we leaving?â
âIn about an hourâ - I say while I walk out of the living room to change clothes.
Olivia walks behind me holding Mel in her arms.
She changes her diaper while I change clothes into a pair of black jeans and a grey long sleeve t-shirt.
I put on my leather jacket on top while Olivia is changing her tights for a new pair and putting a black cardigan on top.
I pull the luggage out of the bedroom and place all the suitcases near the door.
The driver and a couple of bodyguards start taking everything to the car.
We are taking a seven seater so the airport so we can all fit in the car.
Three car seats and four adults.
I sit Gabe on his car seat while Olivia seats Mel and Maria follows with Mike.
Both Maria and Olivia seat near the babies while I sit in the drivers seat waiting for Alex to arrive with one of my men.
Not long after she arrived and her luggage is placed in the back with ours.
âAll ready?â - I ask looking back âYesâ - Olivia replies and Alex nods her head.
The drive to the private airport was smooth without any problems but I can feel the tension in the car.
Olivia is still not comfortable around Alex specially after she tried to make a move on me.

*FLASHBACK*
âHey Alex is Gabe ready?â - I ask her while I walk through her front door.
âHe is still asleepâ - Alex replies and I take a seat on the sofa so I can wait for Gabe to be ready.
Today is one of my days of having him. Alex is not happy with what is happening but she canât stop me from seeing my son.
âSo you want a coffee?â - she asks âYes pleaseâ - I say Alex walks into the kitchen and not long after walks out with a coffee for me. Espresso, my favourite.
I sip the coffee and Alex trips spilling her iced tea all over my clothes.
âShitâ - I let out standing up and shaking the ice off of my clothes âSorry she says starting to open my jacket and I feel her pulling it out of my shoulders.
âIâll grab you a napkinâ - she says and I untuck my shirt from my pants when Alex arrived with some napkins for me to dry my clothes.
âDo you want a t-shirt to change to?â - she asks âDo you have anything that would fit me?â - I ask her âYesâ - she says walking away again so I follow her into her bedroom and she opens one of the drawers and takes out one of my old t-shirts.
âYou kept this?â - I say while she hands me the t-shirt and I slip the shirt out of my body.
Alex approaches me and her hands cling to my stomach sending a shiver down my spine of how wrong this feels.
âWhat are you doing?â - I say to her âI miss youâ - she says placing her lips on my chest giving a kiss.
My hands wrap around her wrists and I push her away.
âWhat the fuck are you doing?â - I look down into her eyes âI know you miss me tooâ - she says âNo I donâtâ - I reply âRaphael I can see in your eyes when you look at me, I can feel itâ - she says trying to get closer again but I keep her from moving tightening the grip on her wrists.
âI am engaged Alexâ - I say âYeah, so was I when we first metâ - she says âI am not doing this, I love Oliviaâ - I say âHow can you love her?â - Alex spits out walking away from me now.
âDonât you dareâ - I say to Alex with an annoyed voice and she looks at me while I put on the t-shirt.
âSheâs a nobodyâ - Alex says - âI am the mother of your firstbornâ - she lets out âYou are out of your damn mind nowâ - I say walking away from her âRaphael I know you want me stillâ - Alex says âIf you ever touch me again, or try anything like this ever again I will put a bullet between your eyesâ - I say and Alex takes one step back âI am the mother of your childâ - she says âExactly thatâs all you are the mother of one of my childrenâ - I say walking towards Gabrielâs bedroom.
I can hear him laughing and goofing. When I walk in he is already dressed and playing with a girl Iâve never seen before.
âWho are you?â - I ask her and the girl looks up at me not understanding what I am saying.
âWho is she?â - I ask Alex that is now standing near the door.
âMy little sisterâ - Alex replies âHe wasnât asleep was he?â
âNoâ - she says biting her lips.
My hand fly towards her throat and I smash her body against the wall âDonât you ever fucking lie to me about my son again, got it?â - I ask her Alex nods her head with her eyes wide opened covered in tears.
I let her go and I walk towards Gabe and he hugs me tight.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I told Olivia everything that happened as I didnât want that to be used against me later on and obviously Olivia wasnât happy and she smacked she shit out of Alex the next time she saw her.
I was proud of my woman.
I have been teaching Olivia how to use a gun. I need her to be safe and to know how to protect herself.once we are back in New York she is going to learn how to fight. I hired a skilful personal trainer to teach Olivia some self defence against guns specially.
Once we are all inside the place I see Alex sitting in the back of the plane with Gabe while Maria was again scared shitless and sitting near the window in the centre of the plane while Olivia was sitting in front of her with Mel.
I am sitting next to Olivia holding Mike.
The plane ride was smooth and everyone spent most of the time asleep while I was keeping up with work.
Reading reports and replying to emails.
Once we land in New York thereâs paparazzi everywhere waiting for us and I can see Joseph through the window.
Me and Olivia step out of the plane holding Mike and Mel while Gabe is standing next to me holding my hand.
We al walk to the cars that Joseph provided for everyone while the plane crew unloaded the suitcases onto the cars.
âWelcome back bossâ - Joseph says shaking my hand.
Olivia smiles for the photos holding Mel. She knows how to behave in the spotlight now. She knows how to distract them allowing them to photograph her so I can do business unnoticed. She is definitely a mafia queen.
Hello everyone.
Let me know what you think.
More tomorrow Stay safe Love Peyton
