My five husbands by Loren rivera (classic novels for teens TXT) 📗

Daniel: No,I am not. Nobody knows about my existence except family and my cousin Roy is going to take over after uncle.

Nora: But what if they get to know about you?

Daniel: Then according to the rules, I would have to take over and there is no other way. The first born child has to take over the mafia. My mother was the first born child and I am the eldest,so I would have to take over. But according to the world my mother is dead and hence, uncle is the leader and Roy will take over after him.  But Roy is adopted and Luca isn't of the age. But nobody knows about Roy's adoption so he can take over after uncle. 

Nora: Okay.

I said taking all the information in my mind. We reached a big mansion after some time. It was twice the size of Xavier's mansion. There was security everywhere and cameras were on all corners.

           As soon as we went inside,a man in his fifties and a woman came rushing to us. The man was uncle blake because he looked like an older version of luca. Uncle blake hugged joseph and Luca's mother I guess pulled me in her embrace. When she hugged me, it felt like I was hugging someone of my own,it felt like I was hugging my own mother. She pulled back,took my face in her palms and kissed me on the cheek. I loved her already. Suddenly, I heard a noise from my side and saw Daniel on the ground with his jaw in his hand. And uncle blake was standing near his feet. I bent down to Daniel's level and checked if he is alright. 

Nora: Are you alright?

Blake: Don't worry, a mere punch couldn't do anything to him.

I was still looking at Daniel to see if he is alright. 

Daniel: Sweetie, I am fine. And nice to see your hospitality uncle. 

Blake: Oh, so you do remember I am your uncle. 

He said and scoffed. He gave his hand to Daniel and he got up.

Blake: Nice to meet you nora.

Nora: Its a pleasure to meet you Mr. and mrs. De sante. 

Blake: Hey, its uncle blake and aunt alexa for you. And Welcome to the family. We would have met before but you see we were not invited to your wedding. 

Nora: I am sorry, its mot their fault, it's mine. We got married in a hurry and it was only us. 

Blake: Nora, no need to take blame because I know you lost your memory during the wedding. 

Daniel: I am sorry, uncle blake. 

Before uncle could say anything aunt Alexa took uncle's hand in his and told him with his eyes to keep quite. And uncle didn't say anything. They were so cute even at this age, even after being a mafia leader he listens to his wife.

Alexa: Oh,its alright Daniel. You boys found yourself a nice girl I must say. She is absolutely beautiful.

Nora: Thank you,aunt. 

I could hear someone's footsteps from behind me,so I turned around. I saw a man in his seventies coming towards us. He had a dominating aura. Even in his seventies he didn't look that old. As soon as everyone recognized his presence, the room felt silent. He came and stood in front of me and my face lost colour. I tried to speak but words were not coming out from my mouth. 

Lucas: So you are the girl,huh?

Nora: Yes. Nice.. to me..et you Mr. De sante. 

I said stammering and he looked pleased. Like he wanted everyone to be scared of him.

Lucas: Nora, follow me to my office. 

He said and fear engulfed me. James and shawn came beside me and took my hand in theirs and I looked at james, he nodded and started walking with me. 

Lucas: I said only nora. 

He said in a stern voice and we stopped. Jame look at me with concern and I nodded indicating that it's alright. He kissed me on the forehead. And I followed Mr. De sante. 

We reached his office and he closed the door behind me. The office was brown in colour with a big mahogany desk in the middle and on one side there were small plants and on other side there were shelves filled with books. He again came in front of me and looked at my face seriously and then pulled me in a hug. I was shocked with this, I stood still for sometime and then hugged him back. 

Lucas: You are alive and you look just like him. 

I was confused what he was talking about and I guess he sensed my confusion. 

Lucas: You look just like your father 'Nikolai Vladimir'.

Nora: You know my father.

Lucas: I have met your father once or twice. Your grandfather was my very close friend. He was the head of Russian mafia.

Nora: Head of Russian mafia. Whattt??

Lucas: Back when I was in my thirties, your grandpa and I were friends and allies. We used to help each other in our mafia business. But your grandfather was filled by his own brother for the position of the head. In order to save you and your mother, your father came to me for help. I helped him hide and sent him to Australia. But a year later I got the news that you and your family died in a fire. 

Nora: What happened to my grandfather's brother?

Lucas: He was hanged by the police for killing your grandfather. Your grandmother took the evidence to the police. I wanted to avenge my friend's death but your grandmother was against it. She said that she just wanted peace now.

Nora: Now, who is leading the Russian mafia and where is my grandmother?

Lucas: Your grandmother is alive and she is in russia and as for the mafia, it is no more, their was no heir so it got disoriented and the mafia men spread across the globe. 

Nora: Umm.. can I ask you for a favour?

Lucas: Sure.. anything you want child.

Nora: Do you by any chance have my grandmother's contact information. 

Lucas: Yeah...I do.

He said and picked up his phone and dialled a number. 

Lucas: Hello noralei, are you there?

Lucas: You won't believe who is standing in front of me.

He said and put the phone on speaker 

Nora: Hello. 

Noralei: Hello, who am I speaking to?

She said in a low voice.
