Chapter 28

"A month from now, everyone is going to be there with their fathers except for me, so I don't think I will go to school on that day," Lilani says, and I can hear she wants to cry.

"No, you will go; I will be there as your father, little one", I tell her.

"Will you?" She asks, hopefully.

"Of course I will; you are like a daughter to me after all," I assure her. Lilani's face brightens up, and she stands up and hugs me.

"Thank you, Ali," she tells me.

After dinner, I told Lisa that I would be in my office. I was just about to sit when I heard the guys enter.

"Hey, what's up, Mancini?" Jake asked.

"I will tell you guys my plan in a minute, but first, are you sure you want to get involved, and how did it go with Donatello?" I ask them.

"Oh, hell yes, and for Donatello, he was arrested as soon as his ass hit the station; they got so many cases against him that I doubt he will ever see the light of day again," Jake answers, with the other two following him. We start planning what to do with the Lombardi's.

"We must keep a close eye on Lisa and Lilani because they will try to hurt them," I tell them, worried.

"Don't worry, we will hire bodyguards to watch them," Kevin assures.

We were busy for the next three hours when I told them I would see them tomorrow morning to finalize our plan. Everyone greets and then leaves, and I got ready for bed. When I slide into bed, Lisa turns to me.

"Is everything okay?" She sounded concerned.

"Yes, everything is alright. I thought you were asleep."

"I couldn't fall asleep", came her reply. I tapped on my chest, and Lisa moved closer, lying in my arms. I feel myself drifting off to sleep with a smile on my face.

Bianca's POV

I was in my father's office. "I want to get rid of that bitch." I told my father.

"I know princess and I think I know just how to get rid of her... You see, Alessandro leaves for Miami in two days for an eye operation."
