Chapter 342: Long Last Smile

Viviana closed all the zippers of the fanny pack. The manager looked at Viviana with great focus. His life depends on what the Vitale princess says.

"You will bring the guy to me the next time you see him," she said in a serious voice.

"Yes. Yes, Ma’am. I will for sure. I will ask my boys to be on lookout," he said.

Viviana turned and walked out with the fanny pack. Just as she got out of the kitchen, she hugged the fanny pack and kissed it. Tears rolled down her eyes and she wiped her tears off the fanny pack.

"What is inside?" Leonardo asked trying to get a hold of the bag.

Viviana with a pout held it close to her chest. "Not giving you."

"You can keep that cheap bag. What is it? Is it even genuine leather?" he scoffed. As if he wanted that girly pouch for himself.

Viviana was not in the mood to answer him. She hugged the pouch as if she was hugging her husband.

"Wait... is that his?" Leonardo asked. Her reaction says that much. "He is alive?"

"I told you he is," Viviana smirked with pride dancing on her face. She knows who she married.

Leonardo looked at her in deep thoughts. But he said nothing.

"What will you do if I send our people to kill him?" he asked.

He had no plans to do that. Well, if eh was left to his devices, he would do that just because that man let his sister suffer. But his father won’t allow it. So there is no chance for Leander Kastello to die in the hands of a Vitale. But he asked to see her reaction.

"Huh?" Viviana looked at him as if he was talking about the weather. The smile on her face was not reducing and there was no trace of panic on her face. "Why would you?" she asked.

Leonardo felt a relief hearing her say that. Only then he realized that he would have gotten hurt if she thought he would kill the man she loves. But thankfully, she didn’t hurt him.

"Just because," Leonardo said.

Her face changed. He thought she would ask him to change his plans or that she would complain to their father about him. But she shrugged.

"Well, good luck with that," she smacked her lips. "He came inside your house and touched me, pulling wool over your eyes. I think you’ll need a lot more than luck to find him and after that, you’ll have to find a way to get near him and even if you stand in front of him, you won’t be able to kill him. He’s not going to die easily."

Leonardo scoffed. Although he was annoyed by how she laid bare the truth that they were none the wiser when it came to his unexpected visit, he was glad too.

He saw her smile. She was smiling from the heart after a very long time.

"I’m tired. I’ll go to bed. You go chase the lion," Viviana patted his shoulder. "Call me if you find him," she said and walked away.

Leonardo looked at her with a smile. He wanted to ask her what he left for her in the pouch that made her so sure that it was him. But he knew she wouldn’t tell him for sure. He will wait a couple of days to ask her.

He walked to Ignazio seeing him approaching him. With him was another man. He is a diver they knew. He must be here about trying to salvage the gold.

Viviana hugged the pouch to her chest as she lay on the bed.

"You can go to bed, Martha. I am fine," Viviana said.

"Okay, Signora," Martha smiled widely. She was so happy to see the smile on her face. It has been a while.

She slowly retreated back. Before she even reached the door, he noticed Viviana’s eyes dropping.

She didn’t even take her pills tonight!

Martha was beyond happy. For the past few months, Viviana couldn’t sleep without taking sleeping pills. Along with the other medications she was taking for her endometriosis, she found it hard to fall asleep.

But tonight, she could fall asleep without any pills. Something good must have happened.

Viviana couldn’t help but smile even when she was half asleep.

Mickey... Everyone called him Mickey.

How did he learn to cook? Or did he pretend to cook? The crab cake was delicious. Ah... I should have taken some from the kitchen...

And that drawing...

How cute was the Minnie mouse he drew? Minnie was holding a cute little lemon...

The wo pet names only he knows... It is him. It is my Leo. He was here... He was here to see me...

He knew I would find him. He left his fanny pack for him. It was pink. Did he leave it for Ziya?

Awww...

I want to touch him, hold him, and kiss him!

She fell asleep deeply and she had a pleasant dream. It was not a dream that looked like a cartoon.

In her dream, a lot of weird stuff were happening. But the characters were Mickey mouse and Minnie mouse. There was a lemon too. It was funny and beautiful.

She slept peacefully.

The next morning, she was awakened by Ziya. Viviana realized that it was pretty late. It was odd because she always woke up early.

"You came to Mommy, Ziya? How sweet are you? Did you have your breakfast?"

Viviana played with Ziya on the bed for some time. Ziya’s attention turned at the pink fanny pack on the bed.

"You like it?" Viviana took out the drawing from the pouch and gave it to Ziya. "You can have it. Daddy bought it for you."

She didn’t know whether Ziya understood what she said. But she liked the pouch and immediately tried to eat it.

"You cannot eat it. Here..." Viviana helped Ziya wear it. It was obviously large for Ziya but Viviana got innovative.

Ziya smiled with the fanny pack on her. "Dada..." she said with a smile. With just her four teeth out she looked incredibly cute.

"Yes, Dada... Dada gave it to little Ziya," Viviana picked Ziya up and sat her on her lap. "Dada loves little Ziya."

Viviana hugged Ziya and hugged her. "Mama loves you too."

"Mama..." Ziya said.

"Yes, Mama, Dada and little Ziya... Dada will come get Mama and Ziya very soon... We’ll be together forever..." Viviana said.

Her eyes watered and she wiped the corners of her eyes.

Come get us soon, Leo...
