“What? -he asks in disbelief, Liam has called him daddy for the first time.
Dad... Dad! -he shouts raising his arms, Enzo carries him and gets out of bed. He can't contain his excitement and follow: Mia's scent into the kitchen.
He said daddy! -he lets out as he enters the kitchen, startling his wife who is preparing breakfast.
-God, you scared me," she brings her hand to her chest.
-Liam told me daddy,” he says again as the puppy stretches out for Mia to hold.
Ym 50 glad,” she accepts Liam and kisses his cheek, “What happened to you in there? -he interjects, touching where his son's teeth are set.

-Dad,’ she calls him with a smile.

-Father, we've talked about this before, Dantes is the only one qualified to have the throne," he walks to the balcony to ge some air.
Enzo, you are my first born and Dantes doesn't want to rule, it's time for you to take responsibility,” Leonardo says from the other side of the line.
-1 don't want to be king.
The coronation will take place in four months, I was thinking of giving you two years to think about it, but the council ha spoken and you must take your place; the mafioso lets out a sigh, overwhelmed by what is coming.
-And I can't refuse?
His father laughs.
“You'll make a good king” he says.
Leave me your job so I can't be with my wife,” he reproaches.
“Well, your mother and I had ten children,” he reminds him.
“You were no longer the Italian Don,” he informs him.
You'll have to leave that job to someone else, the mafia must be a human thing by now,” he comments.
-/'ll think of someone,” they say goodbye and Enzo watches from his balcony as his wife arrives at the mansion, Mia gets
out of the car and looks up at him.
Love,” he murmurs to her, smiling to let her know he has heard her, Mia enters the house and Enzo leaves the office to greet her.
A kiss on the lips and complicit smiles are what they give each other, Margo arrives with Liam who immediately stretches out his arms for his mother to carry him.
How did your exam go? -she asks.
Hopefully well," they walk to the garden, Mia loving it there because of the roses Enzo has ordered to be planted. -Maybe I helped you study enough,” he says, causing her to laugh.
“The best teacher,” she says, taking a seat in front of her rose bushes.
-1 have something important to tell you,” he pauses while Mia gives him her full attention. My father wants to cede the throne to me in four months,” he murmurs, forming a thin line with his lips in utter disgust with that decision.
-But it was bound to happen sooner or later, he stares at her for several seconds. Don't look at me that way, I know you’ been through a lot, however, it's time to accept your destiny,” the young human adds.
1 don't want to be king” she whispers.
-It's not about wanting it, it's about knowing what's right and best for your kind” Enzo lets out a sigh, it's not what he expected to hear, however, he understands that Mia is right and that it's time to accept his place.
~You will be queen,” he reminds her.
-And we'll be together forever, we'll complement each other well” he holds her right hand.
-Dad,” he stretches out his teddy bear to his father with a smile.
-Come here my prince; she takes him in her arms and kisses his cheek causing Liam to laugh.

The only human family Enzo trusts is the De Lucas family, as he has years of friendship with them, and when he arrives at their mansion he is greeted by Fabriccio.
-Don Marchetti, it's a surprise to have you here - a firm handshake as a welcome.
1 haven't stopped thinking about Don de Lucas’ health, how is he? -he asks.
He's delicate, would you like to come in and say hello? -Enzo nods and young Fabriccio takes him to his father.
Mr. De Lucas is on mechanical ventilation to be able to breathe, Fabriccio goes over to touch him gently on the shoulder t wake him up.
-Don Marchetti has come to visit you,” he looks at Enzo and removes the ventilation.
“Welcome.
-/ll leave you alone,” murmurs the young Italian, Enzo takes a seat on a sofa near the bed.
-Fabriccio tells me that his health is critical.
I've been in worse,” he jokes, the Don smiles sideways and denies.
-Mr. De Lucas, I have a proposition for you,” the bedridden man nods.
Will you agree to let my son marry one of your sisters?
-God, no, my father would throw me off the balcony of the house,” he says, Leonardo would never accept a business engagement. -The proposal I make to you is to make your only son part of my family without the need for marriage, I will promise to protect him here and watch over his welfare,” he says seriously.
“No one in this world offers such a good opportunity without wanting something in return,” he says with difficulty.
The only thing I'll want in return is for the De Lucas family to take over my position as Don," that takes him by surprise. -My son will be in danger with so much power” he says in anguish.
-1 know, but my family would never let him be in danger," Enzo murmurs confidently.
~You will have no power in Sicily if you do that," Enzo sighs, not confessing to him that he is a prince and that there are things beyond his knowledge.
“The Marchetti family will still be respected, Fabriccio will be safe with us and you can leave with your mind at ease,” Mr [ Lucas releases a sigh and knows he won't get a better proposal.
Take care of him.
“1 promise.

“What are you doing my little prince? -asks the mafioso when the puppy wants to get off his lap.
Dad... pa,” he wiggles trying to get down to the ground.
“You could hurt yourself” he says, but Liam doesn't give up and Enzo has no choice but to lower him to the ground, keepi an eye on what the boy is doing.
Liam holds on to the mafioso’s legs and stands upright, Mia, who is looking at a magazine, looks down at the puppy. He takes a first unsteady step, then stumbles and falls to the ground.
-Liam stands up again and this time takes his first steps to his mother, causing them to cheerfully clap their hands.
The puppy claps his teeth in a grin, turns back to his father and hugs his legs as he loses his balance. His parents are pro to see him take his first steps, it is the best image for their memories.
“Well done, champ,” they say, holding him in their arms and kissing his cheek. For an eleven month old, Liam is a pretty smart baby and for him to do all this shows how strong he will be.
