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

Chapter 22

                   After nora calmed down, Joseph took her to his room and helped her get ready for lunch. The brothers were very happy that their grandfather had accepted their nora. 

Blake was happy that his father didn't make the same mistake again. He had lost his sister now he wasn't going to lose his nephews. 

               

Nora:

Lunch time:

             I walked down the stairs with Joseph. When we reached the dining table, I could see a beautiful girl of about 15 years sitting beside a man who looked the same as Daniel. He had pale blonde hair so I guessed he was Roy because everyone in the family was a brunette. And Daniel said about him being adopted.

             As soon as the girl saw me, she hugged me with all her might. Like mother like daughter I guess. She was a sweet fun-loving girl. She kept on ranting about something when uncle blake stopped her.

Blake: Princess, First introduce yourself to nora.

Eva: Oh shit... Hi, I am eva. 

Alexa: Eva, language.

Nora: Hi eva, I am nora. Nice to meet you. Eva, you look beautiful just like a princess. 

Eva: Thank you. Oh my god,I like her already. Marrying her was the best thing you did big bros. 

'I know' my husbands said in one go. Then roy turned his head to me and saw me. He got up from his seat and gave his hand for me to shake. I shook his hand and he help my hand a little longer and his eyes had some weird emotion. But, I shook the weird feeling off. I went and sat between Daniel and james. And then grandpa came and took his seat at the head of the table.

Lucas: Let's start. 

He said and everyone started eating. When I was eating I felt someone eyes on me but when I saw everyone was busy in eating. James asked of anything was wrong, I took his hand in mine and continued eating. 

Lucas: So nora, your grandmother will reach Sicily tomorrow. Are you excited to meet her?

Nora: Yeah, she is only family I have now. 

Blake: Nora, this here is your family now.

Roy: Luca informed me about the reason for your sudden visit. Aren't you capable of protecting your wife on your own?

Alexa: Shut up roy, you don't speak to your brothers like that. 

Daniel: Roy, if you have forgotten this is my family too. And I can come here anytime I want and uncle invited us.

Daniel gritted his teeth and said to roy. I placed my hand on his thigh and he calmed down a little. 

Joseph: Roy, you are not the capo and you don't decide who stays in this house.

Lucas: Boys, eat quietly. 

And everyone started eating silently. I guessed that my husbands aren't fond of Roy much. 

 

After having lunch, uncle blake wanted to talk to me about something privately. So, now I am standing in his office. What's with this men and their offices?? Uncle blake was staring out the window with his back to me. He sighed and then turned around. 

Blake: Nora, you know I am the head of the Sicilian mafia,right?

Nora: Yes. 

I said not understanding the reason behind that question. 

Blake: You know that Daniel is the right heir to rule the mafia. So if Daniel took over the mafia, would you still support him, love him like you do now or will you leave him? Because you are married to five people and Daniel is only supposed to take over, his brothers can join him of they want to. So what will you do nora?

I was shocked by his question. Daniel said he won't take over but what if he has to.

Blake: Answer honestly child. I won't judge you for your answer, neither will I question your love for them. Because I know mafia life isn't for everyone. And sometimes love just isn't enough. 

He said his voice filled with sorrow. I was born in a mafia family but I don't know anything about them. I have lived my whole life like a normal person. So, if they joined mafia, will I leave them....will I able to live my life without them??

Nora: Yes, I would support them if they decided to join the mafia. I know my husbands very well and I love them with my whole being. I won't be able to live my life without them. 

Blake: Being a wife of a mafia leader means following certain rules, seeing death in the face everyday and losing your loved ones all the time.

Nora: I took a vow at my wedding that I will support and be by their side at every step and I am not going to break that promise. If I leave them, I would be a person without a heart, without a soul. So, I will rather face death with them then enjoy without them.

Blake: I am glad you feel that way. You truly love those pains in the ass.

Nora: That I do. But why are you asking me this question? Isn't roy supposed to take over after you?

Blake: He isn't capable of ruling the mafia. He is not the right person, he does drugs,sleeps with hundreds of girls and he loves killing, he does not feel remorse at all. Even a mafia leader should have some emotions. He should feel guilt. 

Nora: But that's good right?

Blake: The main reason is once when I saw him killing a innocent person, that day he didn't look like a human but a blood thirsty monster. The reason he killed him was because he didn't do what roy commanded him to do. We don't kill innocent people. We don't touch women or children.  I love him but I don't think he can rule the mafia. The mafia wants a who can lead not a man who will kill anyone for his satisfaction. 

Nora: Does Daniel know that he will have to take over after you?

Blake: No, he doesn't and I would like to keep it that way. 

Nora: Can I ask you a question?

Blake: Sure. You can ask me anything?

Nora: Has any of them killed anyone and please answer honestly?

Blake: I know its not my place to say but I think you should know. Yes, they have killed a man but believe me the world is a better place without him. The man was a human trafficker and he had kidnapped many girls from our mafia. When they got to know about that they found that person killed him and anyone involved with him and rescued all the girls that man had kidnapped and freed them from the life of slavery.
