Here comes the bride
Jakes Pov
"I don't hate you" I whisper to Noah
I look up from his chest and see him already looking at me.
"That doesn't mean I forgive you. But I never hated you Noah"
"I understand" He smiles
"What does that tattoo mean?" I ask pointing at the one on his arm
"It's for Anna" He smiles
"She had a things for roses so that's for her and the dove is for Nove since that's her fighting name" He says
"I miss her Noah" I say
"She talks about you all the time Jake" He says
"Really?"
"Yup"
"Wanna see my favorite tattoo?" Noah asks before I nod
He pulls his shirt up and pulls the hem of his pants a bit down to show his tattoo.
It's my name.
"Jake" is tattooed on his hip... forever.
"Noah what the fuck?" I say
"What? You don't like it?" Noah says confused
"No it's not that. It's been 5 years! When did you get this?" I ask
"Like 6 months after I left" He says smiling up at me.
"You idiot" I laugh
"I never regretted it" He says
"I never stopped loving you Jake"
I lean down and press my lips against his.
I couldn't tell him yet but I never stopped loving him either.
I wish I told him.

Ricardos Pov
"What about Noah? You wanted the both of us but he'd never agree to this" Nova says
"I don't need him anymore. You and Lucian will have a child and raise him to take over" I say walking around the chair shes tied to.
"What? You never said anything about having a child" My over dramatic child says
"Well if you want me to forget about Noah, you'll raise a child to take over the combined mafia"
"Why are you doing this? I'm your daughter" She whispers the last part.
"Cut the act Nova. You stopped caring about me being your dad the second I took your precious Anna. You don't call me father so don't try using that daughter's guilt on me. Speaking of father-daughter relationships, you will call me dad in front of everyone. I won't allow you to keep disrespecting me."
'You're not my father, Ricardo" She says
"You will obey me or I'll find Audrey and make her life miserable" I smirk
"Let me say goodbye" She says with tears in her eyes
"What? You'll runaway the second I let you go. You can't think i'm that foolish"
"I'm not like you or mom. You know I love my daughter so I'll say goodbye and come back. I know she'll be in danger if I run so you know i'll come back."
"You know I have orders on all my men to kill you and go after your daughter if something happens to me right? There's no way out of this Nova."

Novas Pov
Ricardo let me go.
He said I had to convince Noah to not look for me anymore.
He already made a deal for me to marry Lucian. He has two mafias to take Noah and Audrey if I decide to runaway or disobey him.
I'm never going to see my baby again. My Audrey.
I knocked on the door and waited til i saw the person I've been missing all this time.
"Mommy!" Audrey yells trying to get out of Kadens arms
"Nova" He whispers in shock
That's when my body gave out.
I was so exhausted from the past two days.
I was so scared for what would happen after today.
—----
"Whats wrong with her?" Jake asked desperately
"She just needed some rest but she's fine " Alex says
Audrey was crying for her mom in the next room.
"I want mommy" She cries in Kadens arms.
"I know baby but we have to wait for her to wake up"
"Kade, she's awake!" Jake yells from the other room
Kaden walks into the room as Audrey runs to her mom
No one said anything as Nova cried with Audrey in her arms.
No one spoke until Audrey fell asleep.
"How did you get out Nove?" Noah asked
"I didn't" She said not looking away from Audrey.
"What does that mean?" Alex asked
"He let me go so I could convince you guys to not come looking for me or try to bring me back. He said he'll leave Noah and Audrey alone if I do everything he asks."
"No way. You're not going back there Nova" Noah interrupted
"There's something else. What is it Nova?" Kaden asks
"I have to marry Lucian so their mafias will combine. They'll be the biggest mafia and have all the resources to take Audrey. This has gone on for too long. I wont keep my daughter hidden forever. She will grow up with you guys and live a happy life" Nova says trying to smile at all the boys.
"We just got you back" Jake whispers with tears in his eyes.
"We'll take them down Nove. It's fine, we'll figure this out" Noah says then walks out of the room.
Jake gets up and hugs Nova before going after Noah.
"I'll come check on you in a bit" Alex says leaving the two to talk.
"Kaden?" Nova says looking up at him
He didn't look back.
He kept his eyes on the floor trying to find what words to say.
"She's my daughter too" He says
"I know Kaden I'm so so–"
"She should've had me all these years Nova. I should've had the both of you with me all these years. I own the biggest mafia, I could've helped take your father down" Kaden says
"Ricardo and Lucians mafias are more powerful together. They can take you down now Kaden. I couldn't come back and put Audrey in danger. Please understand." Nova says
"I didn't even know you for a year before I fell for you. You were with me for a couple months and that was enough for me to have you stuck in my head. 5 years have gone by and it's still you. I want to be mad at you for leaving and keeping my daughter from me but I can't. I look at you now and I still want to be with you. I can't lose you again Nova. Don't leave us." Kaden says
"There's nothing we can do now. I'm sorry for what I did but we weren't meant to have a happy ending. Meeting you was the best thing that's ever happened to me. The past 5 years with Audrey was a gift before I had to let her go. I know you'll raise her to be amazing. Let it be Kaden."
They spent the next few hours with Audrey.
No one knew what Novas had planned.
