I finish the phone call with my mother after telling her the truth. Dante is the father of Alessia, my little girl. The news was still raw and new, but the idea still gave me a warm feeling inside. Alessia has a dad.

I had a father who was pathetic, awful and an insult to mankind. But Alessia's father? He's a mob boss, a ruthless man who I reckon has a soft spot for his daughter, he wants to spend time with her, he wants her in his life. The thought overwhelms me and only causes the water to appear in my eyes, I use my sleeve and wipe away the substance. Alessia is one lucky girl. I know she'll be protected, maybe even loved. She will gain the experience that I never did at a young age and for that, I'm happy.

"Hey." Draco's voice tears me away from my thoughts, I take in a deep breath and reply back to him, blocking all kind of emotions behind.

"Why are you crying?" He raises his brow and walks closer to me, he takes a seat next to me on my bed and watches as my tears finally dry away.

"Just Alessia." I mutter and gather up the courage, everyone is going to know soon anyway, right? "Dante is her father." He looks at me with wide eyes, I can barely see the pupil in his eye, he's shocked. But yet I doubt he'd understand.

"Right."

"I assume everyone will know sooner or later." I chuckle and feel Draco's hand on my knee. It provides me with comfort and no shame, he understands and refuses to question how.

I stay and wait for Alessia to come home, I have no idea what she's up to today, I just hope Dante hasn't gotten annoyed with her, I don't know how he is with a child all day. Following their orders rather than his own.

I tap my foot against seat next to the window and wait as the anxiety sweeps through my body, causing my heart to pump its blood all over my body to extreme measures.

"Hey Luna!" A feminine voice pulls me out of my anxious moment and encourages me to turn around and see who called for me.

I stare as Sofia is dressed to impress with a beautiful gold sparkly dress on, along with her beautiful curls passing her shoulders.

"You okay?" She looks at me with question, I lie and nod.

"He's going to look after her you know? He used to take Violetta out while me and Bruno had a break would you believe?" She chuckles and comes closer, giving me reassurance that my mind is yearning for.

"You look beautiful, are you out with Bruno tonight?" I ask and find her laughing at me.

"Well, I suppose so. But so are you! We're all going out tonight, Nanna and Nicolas are looking after Violetta tonight, they also said they'll look after Alessia too!" She exclaims and claps with both of her hands, but the thought of not seeing Alessia for an entire day scares me, I won't be able to take her to bed, read her a story or even ask much about her day.

"Stop overthinking it, you've had hardly any fun since you've been here. They'll be okay, Nicolas is an ex mob boss, he knows what he's doing. Plus we have some other men who aren't party animals." She looks at me with wide eyes, almost forcing me to go and have a fun time, maybe I should ask Alessia, she may be 6 but she offers better advice then most people in their forties who are going through a mid-life crisis.

I look at Sofia and reply with a simple answer, "Maybe." I turn to look back out of the window and notice a black SUV coming closer and closer to the house, I jolt up from my position and race to the door, I see my beautiful little girl in a newer dress, the colour is a dark blue which brings her eyes out more, she has the biggest smile smeared across her face.

She looks at me and bounces with glee, she runs to me and hugs me tight, "Hey mumma!" She exclaims and plants a small kiss on my cheek.

But she suddenly runs back to the car with a faceful of guilt. I stare at her but can't figure out what's wrong, she turns a item around her back hiding it away from me, the curiosity wants to get the better of me, but I wait.

She runs back up to me and asks me to close my eyes, I do so and then after three seconds I open them. My beautiful girl is holding a bunch of roses. The colour red springs out from the green stem.

"Mumma we got these for you!" She exclaims, I bend down to her level and kiss her forehead.

"Thank you, who is we?" I raise my brow and she turns to point at the ruthless man behind her, Dante.

I mouth thank you and he nods lightly.

I hold Alessia's hand into mine and guide her inside, the smile on her face says it all.

"Mum?" She questions, I turn to her and see a tiny grin on her face, I'm curious to see what she is after so I nod.

"Are you going out tonight? Dante and CamCam were talking about going out and said that you probably would want to ask me first." Bloody men and their big mouths.

"Yes I wanted to ask you, what do you think?" I bend down to her level once again and she places her finger at the edge of her lips, she raises her eyes up to look at the ceiling and then her eyes are suddenly back on mine.

"I think you should go." She replies and just like that she was whisking me up the stairs to Sofia's room where Sofia claps and has a huge smile on her face.

"I knew she'd say yes... So I secretly looked through your clothes to get your size. And picked out some dresses for you!" She exclaims, but I can't hear her talk anymore. I dart my gaze to her bed were three big black zip up bags lay, each with a dress inside.

"And how much were all of these?" I ask in shock, but she rolls her eyes at me and states the obvious. "I used the black card, it's fine."

"Try them on mumma!" Alessia exclaims, Violetta is now in the room so they are sharing the space on Bruno and Sofia's bed. I take all three bags and take them into their large bathroom.

The lights beam and hits the white tiles hard, brigtening up the large space.

I take out the first dress and reveal the simple plum colour, I slide down my other clothes and slide the plum dress over my bare body and feel the sudden suffocation of my breasts being pushed against my body, I look into the mirror and witness how ridiculous the dress looked on me, it may be my size but it definitely didn't fit around my breasts.

I zip the dress back up and open the second bag to unveil a beautiful red colour, the tone matched the roses that were brought earlier for me. I hold up the dress against my body and already fall in love with it.

I slide it on over my body and watch as the V-neck dress hugs my body, I anaylise the dress more and observe the tiny slit up on my lift tigh, not revealing too much. The fabric of the dress hogs my body up and reveals my curves. The dress is perfect.

I open the bathroom door and watch as evyerones eyes glee with excitement. The dress isn't too long but definitely isn't too short, the length is also perfect.

The complimentary words fly out of everyone's mouths, 'Beautiful' 'Stunning' and 'Pretty' I thank them all and Sofia grabs me a pair of shoes, thankfully we have the same size feet she pulls out a silver pair of heels that sparkle underneath their bright lights.

"Wow Sofia, these are gorgeous!" I take them out of her hands and place them over my bare feet. They suit the dress amazingly and now suddenly have become my favourite pair of shoe.

"Now mumma! Give me a hug and get out and have fun!" Alessia squeals and I hold her tight.

"I love you." She announces when I kiss her forehead.

"I love you too my little girl."
