"Why are you leaving so soon?" Alexander protested when Mia told him they were going back to Florence.
Her arm had healed, and Alessandro had recovered much earlier. Now that her physiotherapy sessions were complete, Alessandro suggested it was time to return home.
"Alexander, we've been here for over two months, and now it's time to go back, Mia explained gently. "Plus, Alessandro's business is suffering because he doesn't want to leave us. He's managed things from here, but he needs to be there in person."
"Mia, we found you after almost twenty-seven years, Alexander said, holding her hand firmly. "Do you really think two months is enough?"
Mia's eyes glistened with emotion. "No, it will never be enough. But I promise I'll keep coming back to see you and Mother regularly."
"No, I won't let you go there. It's not safe, Alexander said, averting his eyes as the fear in his heart surfaced. He knew Alessandro was an Italian mafia boss with many enemies. After nearly losing his sister in that violent attack, his heart still couldn't forget the incident, and he wanted to keep her safe and sound, right before his eyes. "If he wants to be with you, tell him to move his business here, but you're not going there," he insisted, glaring at Alessandro, who was silently listening to the conversation with a deep frown. It seemed the Duke had forgotten Alessandro was in the room, speaking about him so rudely.
Camille was listening to their conversation as well. She was a mother but also a woman, and she understood how tough it was for her daughter to balance her family on both sides. However, Camille knew that Adeline's first priority was her husband-her soulmate and life partner. So, she decided to step in and support her daughter.
"Alexander, don't be so selfish. It's her family-her husband and children-and she should decide what's best for them. Besides, I trust Alessandro with my daughter,' she said, smiling as she glanced at her son-in-law with pride. She had seen how dedicated Alessandro was to his wife, never leaving her side. She had witnessed how deeply he loved her daughter, even risking his life to protect her. In her opinion, no man could be better for her daughter than Alessandro Valentino.
Alessandro's hard expression softened at his mother-in-law's words of appreciation. He was relieved to know that at least someone was on his side in his in-laws home.
Alexander huffed in defeat. "Fine, but make sure to visit us more often, okay?" he said, kissing his sister's forehead and pulling her into a bear hug
"I will, big brother," Mia replied with a smile, though her voice trembled with emotion.
"And Alessandro," Alexander then turned to his brother-in-law, "if I ever hear that you give my sister at hard time, remember I'll be coming for you," he threatened through gritted teeth, glaring at Alessandro.
But Alessandro wasn't intimidated or annoyed; instead, he was amused. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. That day will never come."
Suddenly, Mia handed a file to Alexander.
"Brother, take this," she said, her voice reflecting her hesitation.
She had prepared the papers for the property transfer with Alessandro's help, without telling Alexander.
She knew he might not like it being done this way but he had to take care of ir before leaving for her

"What's this?" Alexander frowned as he took the file and flipped it open. As he read through the papers, the furrow between his eyebrows deepened.
"What the hell is this? When did you prepare it, and how did you get this done?" Alexander's voice was accusatory and irritated as his eyes shifted to Alessandro. He knew immediately who had assisted his sister in doing this. "Brother, please don't be angry with me," Mia said, hugging her brother to calm him down.
"I'm not angry with you, Mia, but this is not right. The ancestral property and wealth were yours even. before you were born-the will was made by our grandparents. I can't take it. It's yours, always has been. and always will be." Alexander said firmly, though his voice softened a little.
"No, brother, you've always taken care of this wealth and property, so only you have the right to it. Besides, I have my interior design business running well, and I've also planned to expand it to Italy once we get settled there. So don't worry about me; I'm all set, Mia insisted lovingly, giving him a reassuring smile.
But it struck Alexander. Settled in Italy, huh!
"It's your husband who put this idea in your head, isn't it? That fucking misogynist wants you to become dependent on him again?!" Alexander growled, making Alessandro scowl as his patience quickly wore thin. He was silent out of respect for his wife; otherwise, he wouldn't have tolerated this nonsense-duke or not.
"No, you've got it all wrong," Mia interjected quickly before the situation could escalate further. "Alessandro had no say in this. It was completely my decision. In fact, I wanted to do it from the beginning, but then all these bad things happened, and I had to wait until things settled down again," she said softly, her eyes pleading with her brother to understand. But Alexander still seemed unconvinced.
"Please, brother. I don't need it. To me, you and Mother are the real wealth," Mia said, shrugging helplessly. "I couldn't handle so many things on my plate. I need to give time to my family as well," she added shyly. indirectly mentioning the new addition to their lives and her pregnancy. "I can't afford more stress and working so hard, you know?!"
Alexander sighed. "Alright, I'll take care of the businesses and properties for you. But," he added with a firm tone, "it will always be yours, whether you want it or no When your children grow up, they will inherit everything on your behalf, okay?!"
Mia shook her head with a smile, knowing her brother was as stubborn as she was. But she didn't want to argue, especially not when she was leaving for her husband's home.
After a few emotional conversations with Camille and Alexander, Mia and Alessandro, along with their children, left for Florence in Alessandro's private jet, ready to begin the next chapter of their lives.
