Blackmailed by the Mafia Boss

Over four years they’d been married.

Five years today, it was their anniversary of when Avery came into his office and declared her love for him. Their fourth wedding anniversary was a couple of months ago, and while her father watched their kids, he’d showed her just how much he loved her.

She reached out, taking his hands. “What’s on your mind?”

“Remembering your declaration of love.”

She giggled. “I had to do something to win you over. I was so scared you were going to kick me out. When you didn’t say anything back, I remember walking to that door, heartbroken. I thought you hated me.”

He took her hand, pulling her close to kiss her inner wrist before placing his lips against the rings that bound her to him.

His wife.

Forever.

He couldn’t let her go, and now she truly was the mother of his child.

“Do you regret it?” she asked.

“Marrying you?”

“Yes.”

“No. I don’t regret a single moment of my life with you. Meeting you, taking you as my toy, it was the best decision I’ve ever made.”

“Mommy, are you Daddy’s toy?” Joanne asked.

Avery laughed. “Don’t let Granddad hear you say that. He’ll be embarrassed.”

“Your mother’s mine, Joanne.”

“I want someone to keep.”

Gino chuckled. “You’ll find someone, and you’ll know they’re special because you’ll never want to let them go.”

Avery leaned over and kissed his lips. “I love you.”

“And I love you.”

He’d found his special someone. The family he didn’t even know he wanted, but now, couldn’t live without. Avery was his world, his kids were everything, and he was never letting her go. From the moment she had proclaimed her love for him, he had vowed to make her happy, to make her never regret falling for him.

And he was more than willing to work the rest of his life to make sure she never fell out of love with him.

The End
