SEMI_FINAL
Under thousands of stars, Mirabella and Vincenzo sat together, holding hands, and gazed at the beautiful sky.
“It’s so pretty,” Mirabella said, looking at Vincenzo.
“I agree. It is,” he replied, moving his hands across the sky. “Look, I’ve caught a star for you,” he playfully blew it towards her face.
“What do you think about our baby? Will it be a boy or a girl?” She leaned on his shoulder.
“I’d like a boy, but if we have a girl, that’s fine. Even if we have six boys and one girl, that’s okay,” he responded.
“What if we don’t have a boy, will you be upset?” She asked, and he shook his head.
“Nah, it doesn’t matter at all,” he replied, kissing her forehead. “But this baby right here, he’s going to be Vincenzo Junior,” he said, rubbing her stomach, and she chuckled.
“Vincent? Do you like the name?” She asked, and he shrugged.
“It’s okay. I was actually thinking of naming him Vincenzo,” he said, and she was surprised.
“This baby won’t look like you. Hailey already looks like you!” she teased, and Vincenzo mimicked her.
“This baby won’t look like you,” Vincenzo playfully responded and burst into laughter. “I want all the kids to look like me; that’s fair game.”
“No, it’s not,” she groaned, pushing his hands away from her chin. “Vincent is definitely going to be my carbon copy.”
“Let’s see about that. If Vincent does look like you, I’ll buy you an island. But if he doesn’t, you’ll buy me a golden Rolls-Royce,” he teased.
“What!?” She exclaimed. “I don’t have money for a fancy Rolls-Royce. I’ll get you a Toyota or a sports car,” she laughed, and Vincenzo pretended to be disappointed.
“Those are old cars. Even my grandfather wouldn’t drive a Toyota or a sports car,” he said, and Mirabella covered her mouth, laughing.
“I’m going to sue you,” she said, playfully hitting his arms.
“We should head inside. Hailey is probably asleep by now,” Vincenzo suggested and helped Mirabella up.
They walked back into the house, only to find Hailey wide awake, playing video games with Ricco.
“Babe, it’s past twelve. You should be in bed,” Mirabella scolded, hands on her waist.
“After I finish this level,” Hailey yawned.
“No, that’s not how we raise a child. Off to bed, and you too, Ricco. Turn off the TV and go to bed!” Mirabella ordered.
“Okay, Mom.”
“Oh, I don’t want to go to bed. I’m not sleepy,” Hailey yawned, heading to Vincenzo.
Vincenzo cradled Hailey in his arms, and they began the slow journey to their room, her eyes heavy with sleep.
“I’m wide awake, but she’s already out like a light,” Mirabella grumbled, playfully rolling her eyes as Vincenzo gently placed Hailey in the center of the bed.
Mirabella settled to Hailey’s left, and Vincenzo to her right, creating a cozy family sandwich.
“She’s so stunning; I bet she’ll have boys chasing her,” Mirabella mused, taking Hailey’s tiny hand in hers.
“Don’t worry, she’s going to be a force to be reckoned with,” Vincenzo reassured, running his fingers through Hailey’s soft hair.
“Goodnight, pumpkin.”
“Goodnight, champ.”
They each planted a loving kiss on Hailey’s forehead before drifting off to sleep.
NEXT DAY~
“Are you prepared for this?” Vincenzo asked, gripping Mirabella’s hand tightly as they entered the imposing Matrix company headquarters.
“Yeah, I’ve got this,” Mirabella replied with confidence as they walked into the heart of the company.
All eyes were on them, and hushed conversations spread through the building, but it didn’t faze Mirabella in the slightest. She had come to claim what was rightfully hers—the Matrix company.
“Good day, ladies and gentlemen,” she greeted as they entered the meeting hall.
The directors were left in awe as Mirabella confidently took her seat at the front.
“I’m sure you’re all surprised to see me here, just as I am. In case any of you have forgotten, allow me to introduce myself” She cleared her throat.
“I am Mirabella Salvatore, Mr. Leonardo D’Angelo’s daughter,” she introduced herself, prompting a hushed murmur among the onlookers.
“I’m aware of the rumors circulating, but frankly, I couldn’t care less,” she grinned, leaving the crowd in disbelief.
“My apologies, but if you find my leadership unsuitable, kindly exit through the door,” she stated politely.
~~~
Hailey was at the school playground, her eyes fixed on Ricco, who was holding another girl’s hand, her frustration evident as she clenched her fists.
As they made their way into the school hallway, Hailey quickly pursued them, her voice echoing through the corridor, “Ricco!”
Startled, they both turned to face her. Hailey approached them and stood between them, her curiosity evident as she questioned, “Who is she?” The other girl responded with a disdainful scoff.
“Get this little nuisance out of my way,” the girl retorted, earning a furrowed brow from Ricco.
“Did you just insult my sister? How dare you!?” He shouted, forcefully pushing the girl aside.
“I’m sorry… I didn’t know she was your sister, I thought…”
“Thought what!? Just leave me alone,” Ricco replied sternly, dragging Hailey away from the situation.
What was that all about?” Ricco pushed Hailey, and she nervously bit her lip.
“Don’t give me that innocent face; you know how much I admire Mary!” His voice grew louder, and Hailey shot him an angry look.
“And I despise you for that,” she retorted.
“We’re siblings, and you’re not even six yet. All you think about is relationships and marriage? You need to stop watching anime with me,” Ricco scolded her. Hailey hugged him.
“I’m sorry if I made you angry… please forgive me, Daddy,” she pleaded.
“What!? No, don’t call me that,” Ricco looked around, feeling embarrassed. “You have to stop watching anime with me.”
“No, never!”
“Yes, and that’s final” He said, as they walked to their car.
“I h@të you!”
“Oh please do” He rolled his eyes.
“You’re so proud and arrogant …which makes it so better, just like Naruto” She blinked her eyes and Ricco face slapped himself.
“Hailey what is wrong with you…leave me alone!!!” He groaned, covering his face with his backpack.
~~~
“That was absolutely incredible!” Vincenzo applauded Mirabella as she wrapped up her work for the day.
“Are you sure about that? I feel like I need more time,” she replied while packing her files.
“Nah, you’re going to do great,” he assured her, planting a kiss on her forehead, which made her chuckle.
“I’m famished,” Mirabella complained as they left the office.
She took a deep breath and turned to Vincenzo. “I’ve found the most amazing husband on this planet!” she exclaimed loudly, and Vincenzo smiled.
Vincenzo enthusiastically exclaimed, “I’ve found the most incredible wife on Earth!” and they both shared a warm embrace.
“I miss you… I love you so much,” Mirabella softly confessed.
“I adore you, my darling,” Vincenzo replied.
“Do you want to have some fun?” Mirabella inquired, and Vincenzo eagerly nodded. “Come with me; I have an idea.”
Mirabella tired of her high heels, decided to walk barefoot along the bustling street. As people passed by, she couldn’t resist making a dramatic announcement.
“Attention, everyone! My husband is a billionaire, and I adore him!” she exclaimed loudly. Vincenzo, standing beside her, let out an exasperated sigh.
“Who let the wild one out?” he muttered, gently guiding her back.
“That’s enough. It’s time to head home,” he said, opening the car door.
Mirabella rolled her eyes, complaining, “You’re so dull. Can’t you do something fun for once?”
Vincenzo flashed a mischievous grin. “How about some ‘fast and furious’?” he suggested as he slid into the driver’s seat.
He revved up the engine and sped off at breakneck velocity.
“Whoa, slow down, you crazy driver!” Mirabella yelled, playfully smacking his seat.
Her wig flew out of the car window, and she gasped, “That wig cost me a million dollars!” She continued to hit Vincenzo’s seat, but he showed no signs of slowing down.
“Want to have some fun, huh? Enjoy the ride!” he declared, pressing the pedal even harder. Mirabella, her heart racing, covered her eyes.
“I don’t want to meet my maker so soon! Please, slow down! I don’t want to die young!” she pleaded, and Vincenzo reluctantly eased off the speed.
He glanced over at Mirabella, who was almost in tears. “What’s wrong, babe? Why are you upset?” he asked.
Mirabella shot him an angry look. “You owe me a mountain of wigs tomorrow, and I don’t want to hear a word from you again!” she exclaimed. Vincenzo couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You called me boring, so I wanted to do something unexpected.”
“By trying to kill me? My wig is gone!” Mirabella sniffled. “I bought that wig in Dubai just a few weeks ago!”
Vincenzo winced. “Calm down, darling. I just wanted to make you happy.”
“By putting my life at risk? Was that how they filmed ‘fast and furious’? Did you even consider that I’m pregnant?”
Vincenzo tried to touch her hand. “What do you mean, did I know? I’m the one who got you pregnant!”
Frustrated, Mirabella declared, “You know what? I’m getting an Uber. I don’t want to die young.”
“Baby, I’m so sorry,” Vincenzo apologized, feeling guilty. Mirabella rolled her eyes.
“You drove so recklessly that it gave me a fever, and I feel like I’m about to meet my ancestors right now,” she joked, pretending to be out of breath.
“I’m really sorry. Let’s just go home, and I promise to drive more slowly,” he assured her.
Mirabella let out a soft sigh and climbed back into the car. As Vincenzo started the engine and began to drive, she couldn’t help but question his unusual behavior.
“Babe, what are you doing now?”
“Driving slowly, of course. It’s better for the baby and you,” Vincenzo replied, trying to be considerate.
Mirabella rolled her eyes. “Even a tortoise would beat us in a race,” she teased, and Vincenzo responded by picking up the pace.
“Is this better?” he asked.
“Yeah, I suppose so,” she admitted.
