That’s My Answer.

The very next morning, Stella woke up to an empty room as she looks around searching for Marius ad subconsciously look around for Luciano before she wakes up, freshens up and heads over to the kitchen.

"Morning honey" greet George as he saw Stella walk over towards him.

"Morning papa" greet Stella back as she walks towards the fridge.

"Want some pancakes?" asked George as he busies wiping the table.

"No thanks papa, I just going to grab some fruits and head over to the office. Anyway, where's Skylar?" asked Stella as she closes the fridge while munching on an apple.

"I'm here babe," said Skylar as she enters the kitchen area.

"Sky, you're supposed to be at the office now. Today we have a meeting with our new client, did you forget about it?" asked Stella.

"Nope, I did not. Our new client postponed it on the afternoon" reply Skylar.

"Thank goodness for that, anyway where's my son?" asked Stella as she notices that the house is awfully quiet.

"With his father" reply Skylar with a smirk that accompanies a grin.

"Stop playing around, where are they?" asked Stella as she rolls her eyes silently liking the idea but at the same time not wanting to show.

"Don't know, why don't you call him?" asked Skylar as she walks away from the kitchen area.

"Unbelievable" murmur Stella lowly as she fishes out her phone and search for Luciano's number but before she could do that he beat her to it by sending a text message saying 'Please come to the penthouse'.

Stella then closes her phone and slip it inside her jeans back pocket as she continues to munch her apple while informing George about her heading back to the penthouse.

Stella then heads over to her car while finish munching her apples, as she slips inside her car she saw a bouquet of flower next to her together with a small note.

To our angel Stella Lia Salvatore,

Can you give me directions to your heart? We've seemed to have lost ourselves in your eyes and touch.

P/s: Meet us at the penthouse.

With love, Luciano M, Marius A. M

"I never know that you can be this cheesy Luciano. For a fearful and ruthless mafia don, you do have an undiscovered side of you" murmur Stella alone as she smiles looking at the card.

Stella then places the card neatly inside her handbag before she picks up the flowers and smells them while smiling before she put the flowers down and quickly head over to the penthouse.

As soon as she arrived and parked her car at the parking lot her feeling of excitement is over the roof as she smiles non stop while she exits the car with the bouquet of flowers in her arms as she rides the lift up to her penthouse.

Upon arrived at the penthouse where the lift open, Stella was greeted by a dozen flowers decorate the whole living room together with a red rose petal pathway that leads her to the living room.

Stella then follows the red rose petal pathway to the living room where she was greeted by another bouquet of flowers together with a small note. Before Stella read the notes or even pick up the bouquet, she quickly put the other bouquet down together with her handbag then she picks the new bouquet and read the note.

To our angel Stella Lia Salvatore,

When our eyes meet for the first time, my heart skipped a beat. I cannot even think of my life without you, my angel. Please become mine, my soul-mate and love forever!

P/s: Please follow the rose petal.

With love, Luciano M, Marius A. M

Stella then smiles at the notes as she finished reading them and keep them inside the flower boutique while neatly keep both bouquets on the sofa as she continues her venture towards her bedroom.

Upon reaching her bedroom door which is slightly closed she close her eyes and take a deep breath while trying to control her smiling facial expression to a nonchalance one.

Then, she opens her bedroom door widely and in there standing in front of her was both Marius and Luciano greeted her with happiness. Both Marius and Luciano was dressed up in a suit and tie looking sickly handsome and cute while powerful which makes Stella unconsciously weaken her knees.

She then looks at Marius with admiration and motherly love aura before she takes a look at Luciano in a heated, sexy and wanting to jump on him but she quickly blinks her eyes as she remains focused on her innocence Marius to regain her attention.

"Aren't you two look cute and handsome with suits on" comment and praise the both of them in which makes Marius happily babble and clapping like a baby whale.

"Baby boy, please remain calm. We got work to do" said Luciano whispering to Marius who miraculously listen and stop his action for a second before continuing to clap and babble innocently.

"Mama, maaammmaa, mama," said Marius happily as he wants to be held by Stella who was smiling softly at her son.

"Mama-, mamaaaa, mamama" said Marius again and this time he forces his body leaning forward wanting to be held by Stella.

"Fine, mama's boy," said Luciano lowly as he passes Marius to Stella who was grinning at their interaction.

"Now that's settle. Stella-" said Luciano as he stands near both Marius and Stella while holding onto her hands.

"I've known you since you're 9 years old in which I doubt you'll even remember me but since that day on your brother's birthday you caught my eyes and capture my heart. I know I'm not the perfect person for you but let me mend it for you and our son. We'll live like a best friend, make love like soul mates, fight like an enemy and makeup like we both madly in love, stay together like family... so, Stella Lia Salvatore soon to be a Maranzano. Will you marry me?" asked Luciano as he fish and open the small black box while looking directly at Stella with hope and love.

"Let me ask my son first, if he likes you then it's a yes if no then you know the answer" tease Stella as she suppresses her smile while Luciano does the same action.

"Marius baby, so what do you say? Yes to daddy or no to daddy?" asked Stella which makes Marius babble and clapping happily.

"dadadad, daaddddd, dada," said Marius happily clapping while smiling.

"Then Mr Luciano Maranzano, since my son accepts you then YES," said Stella before she slightly says the yes in a slightly high volume.

"Thank you, love, thank you, my son," said Luciano as he kisses Stella on her lips while close Marius's eyes before they both kiss Marius cheeks which make him giggle happily at their action.

Luciano then quickly put the diamond ring on Stella's finger looking elegant and beautiful on her ring finger. Luciano then bravely went in for another kiss while covering Marius eyes in which earn him a protest by Marius.

"Wanna lazying around?" asked Luciano as he looks at Stella who was busy smiling at Marius at the same time looking at her ring in secret but got caught by Luciano a couple of time.

"Can't, I need to go back to the office. We have an important meeting with our client this afternoon in which I couldn't bail out" said Stella as she turns her body slightly towards Luciano.

With that slight action, Luciano couldn't keep his hands on Stella as he often hugs her stealing kisses here and there while Marius busy playing around but often keep an eye on them both.

"Oh before I forget, here," said Luciano as he hands over the envelope to Stella in which at the same time, Luciano's phone ringed in which he excuses himself and head over to the kitchen area answering the call.

Upon received the envelope Stella immediately opens it and read through the documents scribble something on it before she keeps it back inside the envelop and toast it on the table as she continues to look at Marius playing that was not far from her before she takes a small break as she leans back and closes her eyes trying to focus by eavesdropping Luciano phone call in which she could hear slightly.

At that exact time, while in the middle of the phone call he quickly peeks at the living room looking at both Stella who was resting and Marius who looked at him before he quickly pushes himself towards Luciano.

Luciano then quickly pick Marius up and put him in his high chair as he quickly cut the apple into slices before serving them to his son.

A few minutes later Stella walk over to the kitchen area and caught both Marius and Luciano munching on their apples.

"Seriously you two," said Stella as she shakes her head in a no motion and smiles at them as she walks over to Marius, wiping his mouth and kiss his cheeks before she stands in front of Luciano.

"I need to go now so please take good care of Marius and here, that's my answer. You know what you need to do and do it quick" said Stella as she hands him the envelope then kiss him on his lips before she walks over out from the kitchen area, grabs her stuff and leaves the penthouse.
