Chapter 44: The Visit (Part 3)

Cecilia's POV

Cecilia approached her wife, who crossed her arms while she was staring at the report. "H-hey," Julia looked at Cecilia with a cup of coffee in her hand. Julia stood up, and she picked the glass and they sat on the sofa inside her study room.

She drinks her coffee and tried not to spit it out. She gulped the liquid quickly and took a deep breath. "I-it's that good?" Julia kissed her forehead and grimacing. Next time, she should put the sugar container next to the coffee machine rather than the salt container.

"It's good, babe." She kissed her forehead. Next time, she should put the sugar near the coffee machine, not salt. Julia took a deep breath and circling her arm around Cecilia's waist and stared at the ceiling. "I have something to confess," Cecilia looked at her wife.

Julia pulled her closer and embrace her. "I need your help." Cecilia furrowed her brow. Julia closed her eyes and fills her lungs with Cecilia's scent.

Cecilia let go of her embrace and cupped her face. "Hey, what's wrong?" Julia exhale and took a deep breath. "I need someone to calculate my dad's profit," Julia said.

Cecilia slapped her shoulder, "hahaha…" Julia can't help herself anymore. She wiped her tears and looking at her wife. "Hey, babe." Cecilia did not answer her call. She crossed her arms and grump.

Julia looked at her wife and smiled, "babe?" Cecilia ignores her. Julia humming and pat Cecilia's shoulder.

Cecilia groans and sits on the armchair, "don't touch me, Salvatore! I'm expensive!" Julia giggling. Julia followed her wife to sit on the armchair and kissed her cheek. "Don't kiss me!" Julia smiled at her.

Julia leaned her head on her shoulder.

Cecilia's POV

Cecilia sighed and embrace her wife and she took a deep breath. "It's not about to be your accountant, right?" Julia nodded, and she straightened her body.

Julia holds her hand. "My dad's business in debt," Cecilia petting her head, waiting for Julia to continue. "My dad's expertise in loan shark, and many people in-debt with him, including our mayor." Julia leaned her head on her shoulder and sighed.

Cecilia can't do anything except reassure her wife. Since her dad was in a coma, Julia was the only one who knows what should her do, but she can feel that her wife overwhelmed. Cecilia took a deep breath and hold her hand. "What if I want to accompany you?" Cecilia asked.

Julia straightened her body and jolted. "What the fuck?" Cecilia slapped her lips.

Cecilia has a problem with Julia's mouth. She likes to cursing. She took a deep breath and touched Julia's scar. "We have a deal that if one curse is out of your mouth, pay me five bucks, remember?" Julia palmed.

"Oh, shit. I forgot!" Cecilia slapped her mouth again.

"Ten bucks," Cecilia counting. Julia picked her money clip and gave her wife ten bucks. Cecilia smiled and put the money inside her purse and circling her arm around Julia's waist. "Nice to have a business from you," Julia scratching her hair.

A door knocked heard by the duo. Julia cleared her collar, and she looks at her wife.

Julia's POV

Julia helped Cecilia to stand. She mesmerised by her face, and ponder. She feeling grateful to meet her and fall for her. Salvatore can get what they want so easily. They can claim every lady they want, but not to our Lady Salvatore. She differed from anyone inside her family. What's made her different from her family was her attitude.

She can call herself lucky, but behind the scene. She's not that lucky. Julia might have everything what everyone all around the world dreamed of. An angelic, beautiful, and kind wife, businesses, exotic vehicles, and another thing other person dreamed about, but she can't get happiness from her family.

Her step-ma was 29 years-old model, and she was on the top of her carrier, and her dad jailed. She looks at her condition now. She finds her happiness even though she's not a perfect person, for Julia, her wife it's perfect. Cecilia gripped on her hand and smiled at her. "Whatever you thinking about, don't be sad, Julia. You have my Nonna, me, and Mariano." Julia embraces her wife and closed her eyes.

Cecilia responds to her embrace. "I-I'm sorry, if I couldn't be more honest with you, but I tried to validate my gut." Cecilia already knows that someone who punched Julia was Chester. She can smell Chester's perfume on her jacket. Beside of that, Max only growled at him.

Cecilia smiled at her wife and touched her nose. "I know." Cecilia said. She also can't blame Julia because what she said was right. She can't accuse him. Cecilia sighed. She leaned her head on Julia's chest as her arms surround Julia's waist.

They heard someone knocked on the door and made the couple forced to ending their moment. "Come in!" Julia, fixing her wife's hair and pecked her lips. "Act natural, babe. You are Salvatore's queen." Julia greets her guest and she let her sat on her armchair.

"Who is this, Julia? I never met her!" Julia kissed her ring and smiled. She was the Godmother.

"Godmother Salvatore, she's my wife." Cecilia bows to her, and they both sit in front of her. She was her great-great Nonna, and mother of her Nonno, Vito Salvatore. The wife of Salvatore's first generation Don, Lizia Salvatore. Julia thoughts she was already dead due the old age because she disappeared without a word.

"Ah… you are my great-great-granddaughter's wife," she cupped her face and smirked. Julia can hear her wife's heartbeat and she took a deep breath. Lizia won't let Julia say a word. She shushing her great-great granddaughter and she took a deep breath.

"N-nice to meet you," she looks at Cecilia from head to toe. She smirked and took a deep breath. Temperature inside that room drop. No one dare to speak. She is walking surrounding her. The couple start took a glance at each other.

Lizia's heels echoing inside that room. "You are beautiful, but…" Cecilia gripping her white cane, "blind." She walked outside of Julia's study room. "I will stay here until your dad comes back from his life!" She slammed the door.

"Cecilia, are you okay? Do you want to go home?" Julia reassuring her wife. Cecilia embraces her wife and she nods. "Alright, I will pack our thing." Julia lower her tone. Cecilia wiped her tears and sobbing. Julia clenched her fist and jaw. This is the end of their journey? No, Julia shook her head, and she took a deep breath. She will figure it out together with her wife.
