Leo woke up from his peaceful sleep and squinted his eyes against the morning light. He straightened up from his position and turned his gaze at Anna who was still sleeping soundly and peacefully. He smiled widely before pulling up the soft duvet upon her naked body and placed a soft kiss on her lips before getting off from the bed and strolling towards the bathroom.

After twenty minutes of shower, Leo walked out of the bathroom in gray sweatpants and shirtless. He rubbed his damped hair with his towel and strolled towards the other side of the bed where Anna was sleeping. He sat on the bed beside her and removed the towel from his hair.

Anna shuffled over the bed and took a deep breath, letting the fresh menthol scent filled into her nose. Leo smiled and leaned down, placing a soft peck on her lips. Anna smiled brightly and opened her eyes to see him all fresh and hot.

"Good morning, Wifey," Leo said softly and cupped her cheek.

"Good morning, Hubby," Anna said huskily as her hand reached for his bare chest. "You still shower with the menthol gel," she told him feeling amused.

"Yes, it's my favorite since I was a kid," he said and leaned closer, keeping an inch apart between their faces. "Get up and shower while I go and make breakfast for both of us." He told her before kissing her forehead and straightening up. "Or do you want me to shower you?" He jested before getting up from the bed.

"After breakfast, we're leaving," He informed looking down at her. Anna creased her brows and straightened up from her position, her one hand place over her chest supporting the sheet from falling down and revealed her naked body.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"Our honeymoon," He answered with a wolfish grin.

"Where?" Anna asked raising her brows.

"It's a surprise," He winked at her before strolling towards the downstairs. Anna shook her head and smiled widely. She curled off from the bed and strolled towards the bathroom.

After the shower, Anna went downstairs and found Leo in the kitchen busy making breakfast for them. She smiled brightly and move towards him. She then wrapped her arms over his stomach and back hugged him. Leo looked over his shoulder and chuckled softly before continuing to make breakfast.

"Do you need any help, Honey?" She asked before placing a kiss on his back.

"No, I'm done cooking," He answered softly before turning off the stove and turned to face her. He cupped her cheeks and pulled her into a kiss. "When do you plan on resuming your work?" he asked.

"I don't know. But I want to start soon," She answered softly and wrapped her arms around his back neck. "Maybe after a week," She added to which Leo frowned over making her chuckled at him.

"Do it after two weeks," Leo pleaded, tugging her hair behind her ear.

"For how long were you planning to stay for our honeymoon?" Anna asked amusedly.

"For as long as forever," He jested and smiled wolfishly. "I know how much you love treating people, so I will never tell you to quit your job until your retirement. But I will probably ban you from working during weekends. A husband deserves to be with his wife during weekends." He said cheekily and placed a quick peck on her lips.

"Depends on the situation," She said softly and looked into his eyes. "We, doctors usually don't get time to rest. Anytime or anywhere our duty calls." She added quietly.

"I know," He sighed softly and kissed her forehead. "Alright, let's eat our breakfast and get ready. Our flight is in one and a half hour." He informed before turning and serving their breakfast on the plates.

After breakfast, they both went upstairs to their bedroom to get dress. Anna changed into a Tie V-neck flare sleeve floral printed dress that goes well with her black casual flats. Leo was in his long sleeve black shirt that was rolled up on his forearm and a royal blue formal pant that was perfectly hung on his waist without belt. Anna gazed at him smilingly, and she was reminded of the time she first met him—he was in the same color outfit when she first saw him five years ago. The only difference is his hair was perfectly slicked back then and now his hair was messily falling over his forehead which makes him look very hot and sexy.

"Black and blue," Anna said amusedly looking at him.

"Most of my outfits are black and blue," Leo told as he pulled her closer to him by her waist.

"I noticed that," Anna said under her chuckled. Then he pulled away slightly and checked her out from head to toe.

"I knew you'll look stunning in this dress," He said and smiled widely. "I have never seen you in one, so I bought you this." He added.

"I love it. Thank you so much." Anna told before kissing him.

"Let's get going," Leo tells and wrapped his arm around her waist, leading her to the downstairs.

After some minutes, they reached the airport and drove through the runway towards their private jet. The driver pulled over, and they both got out of the car.

"Carlos, look after the house while we are away," Leo told his driver, who is actually the second in command of the Force of De Luca. "And not a word about our destination to any of our Famiglia," he warned amusedly.

"Yes, Don." Carlos said under his chuckled.

"You know where are we heading, Carlos!" Anna exclaimed looking at him to which he nodded and smiled at him. "Where?" She asked.

"I'm afraid the Don won't be happy if I tell you, Anna," Carlos told sheepishly glancing at Leo who was watching Anna in complete amusement.

"He is very loyal to his Don." Leo smirked, feeling amused before wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer to him.

"And the Don stays under me," She retorted cheekily looking up to him. Then she turned her gaze to Carlos, "And I'm superior to your Don," She told boldly.

"That you are, Anna," Carlos agreed amusedly, earning a glare from Leo. His amusement grew wider and shook his head. "Enjoy your honeymoon, Don, Anna," He told them with a warm smile. They returned the same gestured before strolling towards the jet.

"And one thing, Carlos, don't you dare bring your whore inside my house. And see those two kids—Drago and Elmo don't mess up with the German girls." He warned amusedly.

"Sure thing, Don, I'll take care of those two." Carlos assured under his chuckled.

Leo and Anna got inside the private jet and settled on the seat opposite to each other. And soon the plane started to move and take off.

"Who are Drago and Elmo?" Anna asked.

"They are the youngest member of the Force—like Cyrus and Vito." Leo answered amusedly.

"I see you care for the both of them. Joshua cares for Vito and Cyrus too. Is there a thing between the Don and the youngest members of the Force?" Anna questioned amusedly.

"I just happen to care for them. Nicolo, Drago and Elmo are quite close—they are like the best buddies." Leo told her with a smile.

"That's so sweet," Anna chuckled softly. "I would love to meet Drago and Elmo and also introduced them to Cyrus and Vito." She added softly under her smile. "Those two youngsters are very adorable, so are Nicolo and Dino—or should I just say, all the late 90s kids are."

"You're just a year older than them, Honey," Leo chuckled heartily and shook his head.

"But still I love them so much, they are like my younger siblings." Anna said sincerely with a smile. "And I know how much they look up at me as their own sister." she chuckled softly.

"Come here, Honey," Leo smiled warmly and extended his hand towards her. Anna smiled and kept her hand over his. He pulled her towards him and settled her over his lap.

Anna rested her hands over his back neck and looked into his beautiful icy blue eyes.

"You are such a lovely lady, Mio coure," Leo said softly, wrapping his arms around her waist. "You are someone who can never be hated. Honestly, sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve such a great and lovely lady like you. I don't—"

Anna leaned down and crashed her lips into his, stopping him from saying any further. Leo responded back immediately and kissed her passionately. He pulled her closer by her waist while she pulled him closer by his hair, deepening the kiss.

"Don't you ever think of saying that again," Anna told him under her panting.

"Mi dispiace. Non lo dirò mai più," (I'm sorry. I'll never say that again) Leo told in his pure Italian accent and looked at her in complete amusement—wondering if she understood him or not. Anna always like the way he speaks in his native tongue.

"È così rilassante ascoltare quando parli italiano," (It's so soothing to listen when you speak Italian) Anna said cheekily looking down at him, making him raise his eyebrows in surprised.

"You know how to speak Italian!" He exclaimed in amusement.

"I learned it, Nonno taught me," She said in a smile. "Now can you please tell me where are we going?" She asked with pleading eyes.

"è una sorpresa," (It's a surprise) Leo told her amusedly as he gently poked his finger over the bridge of her nose.

"I'll just ask one of the air hostesses then," She said cheekily and attempted to stand but Leo tightened his gripped over her waist and didn't allow her to move.

"You're not going anywhere," Leo stated cheekily. Anna pouted at him, but he simply ignored her and pulled her closer to him. She rested her head over his chest and began to run her finger over his perfectly shaped jawline.

"It's an hour flight, Mio coure. Rest for a while coz we're going to have a busy time at night." Leo teased softly before placing a kiss on her temple. Anna began to blush under him and placed her hand over his chest.

"I'm excited," She said softly under her shy giggle and blushed harder, she gently shut her eyes close feeling his heartbeat over her palm. Leo chuckled softly and gently ran his hand over her silky dark hair.

"I love you so much, Mio coure," Leo drawled softly under his sigh before wrapping his arms over her back and gently pulling her closer. Anna hummed softly feeling the immense warmth and soothe from him. And soon she drifted into her peaceful sleep.

After an hour, they finally landed to their destination. Leo held her hand as they got out of the plane. Soon a white Renault car pulled over beside them and the driver got out of the car.

"Bonjour, Monsieur, Madame," The driver greeted them. Anna immediately wore a knowing smile and threw a pointed look at Leo.

"Bonjour," Anna smiled at the driver. "Puis-je savoir où nous en sommes exactement?" (May I know where exactly we are?) Anna asked the driver in French.

"Nous sommes á Paris, ma chère," (We are in Paris, my dear) Leo answered amusedly and wrapped his arm around her.

"I knew it," Anna said giving him a pointed look.

They both got inside the car and the driver hit the gas and drove off. Anna kept herself busy looking at the passing by environment while Leo stared at her the whole time. Anna drifted her eyes from the window and saw Leo staring at her with an amused smile playing on his lips.

"You finally noticed me," Leo jested. Anna let out a soft chuckled before resting her head over his shoulder and intertwining their fingers.
