{ Tori's POV }

I walk into the meeting room and the other women follow me still staring at me, all of men look up at me as if they've seen a ghost as well.
I see Michael give me a smile and I send him my own...and it's a genuine one.

"If you are still looking on how to end the Russians once and for all, I've been working on a plan of my own.." I say normally

All of them seem shocked.

I see Luca watching me carefully,
and I know he is watching me suspiciously.

"Where were you?" Luca asks

"I needed fresh air so I went to the clinic Vera suggested to me." I explain

Luca nods but still looks suspicious.

"How was your doctor visit?" My father questions

"Good. I'm back to my full health. Dr. Giovanni insured me that my appetite will return soon."
I inform all of them

Suddenly Vera is hugging me from the side, causing a few of the men to jump up almost as if to stop her, but I just tensely hesitate, but eventually hug her back.

"Victoria Nicole Miller Ferrari, you scared the life out of me. I'm just so happy that you're alive, and back. Now I don't have to worry about my son, because his godmother is a rock." Vera says

"You are having a son?" I ask not knowing she found out the gender...but she just spilt the beans about it in front of everyone

"Oh fuck!ng sh!t" She mumbles and I let out a light laugh and say "Congratulations Ver, I know he'll be one loved and respected little boy." with an added smile

"Vera is one firecracker when she's pregnant. Let me tell you..She came in demanding that we find you, threw a book at Marco, and
actually put almost everything together for us." Lorenzo informs me

I look at Vera and say "Thank you..."

Then I look around the room and say "Actually thank all of you for everything..."

Surprisingly Francesco speaks first and says "You don't have to thank family..it's what we're here for, til our dying day."

I give him a smile and he returns it.

Then Lorenzo and Marco come up to me and hug me both saying "It's good to have you back."

I hug Riccardo, Angelina, Elena, and Francesco and then I hug Valente and he says "I'm glad you are okay, you scared the sh!t out of me."
I give a smile then I go and hug Alex, Michael, and Greta.

"Greta gave everyone but mainly your father and Luca a strong talking to about respecting you and she was right." Elena says to me

"We don't give you the respect you deserve."
Riccardo says

"But it's past time all of us start."
Francesco says

"I've always respected you because you are a bad a$$ b!tch" Lorenzo says with a smirk

I return the smirk and say "The baddest."

Lorenzo laughs and nods "No argument there."

Although I'm aware of the person missing in the room, and the hole in my heart...we have to find a way to move on.

I look at Luca and say "The best way to end the Russians is to cheat the mafia system."

He raises an eyebrow, and I send him a smirk and say "If only you had someone who was Russian in your mafia, then you could simply just take it over and combine them."

I let my eyes drift over to Vera, and back to Luca who returns my smirk once he realizes my plan.

"You are fucking gorgeous genius."
Luca says and I shrug with a smile

"Are we missing something here?"
Lorenzo asks clearly confused

"We will help Vera and Stefan claim the Russian territory, therefore we won't ever have to worry about the Russians again. We can keep peace and have more power and land than we already have." Luca says

"What? That is insane." Stefan says

"It's actually genius. I'm Russian. My father was apart of the mafia. Meaning now that I'm married to you a loyal Italian in the mafia, it would be easy for us to take over and combine the mafias. It would keep our son safe."
Vera says

"Are you really serious about this, sweetheart?"
Stefan asks

"Anything to keep our family and our sons future safe." Vera says

Stefan nods and says "If you'll help we'll do it but only if we get to keep our place here in Italy." to Luca

Luca nods and says "Of course."

And with that the new mafia began to be born with the Italians, Russians, and Americans joined together like some sort of comic book of hero's and villains to keep the peace and families safe.

God I almost feel bad for whoever attempts to come against one of us...
