Welcome Iris Iris's POV

It's been two years. Sofia is now 7 and Lily is 13.

Killian and Roman come here a lot, sometimes Sofia goes to southern Italy to see Aurora and Leo. They both kept in contact with us like they promised.

Everyone's for the most part is doing good here, Lily's doing a lot better. She finally got over Luca, she gave up on him. She just gave up on getting a dad entirely. Kinda sad actually.

Ezra is doing bad. She hasn't improved she just got worse than she was. Sometimes I have to run the mafia because she can't even get out of bed. She just over works herself.

Just recently Rocco got sick, he has to be hospitalized. He had some sort of tumor that went up to his brain, and on top of that he was diagnosed with cancer. Ya that was horrible.

She got over Luca... sorta. Than all of a sudden we found Rocco laying on the ground struggling to breath.

Ezra lost a lot of her fight, she doesn't have the fire in her anymore. She looks completely burnt out. She's been focusing on everyone else around her besides her self.

She's been taking care of Lily, she's been helping me with a Sofia, she's been taking care of her dad along with running a mafia.

Everyone's worried about her.

When Roman and Killian are here they run the mafia for her so she can take a break.

Right now, Lily and Sofia are in the movie room watching a movie and Killian Roman and I are going to her office to see if Ezra needs any help.

We walk in her office.

"Hi." I smile. She looks up at me. "Hi." She responds. "We'll take it from here, go get some rest." Roman says. "I'm fine." She says going back to work.

She's not she looks absolutely drained.

"Go watch a movie with Lily, she wants you." I say knowing she'll go straight to her.

If Lily needs her, Ezra goes running to her in a heart beat. She drops everything, and to goes to her.

"Ok." Ezra says getting up. "Shes in the movie room." Killian says as she walks past us.

"Ok let's get working." I say.

"How's Ferrari doing?" Killian asks. "The same, he hasn't improved or gotten worse." I sigh. "She needs a long ass break." Roman says going through her papers.

Killian and Roman work on her paper work while I organize her office.

Few hours later

"Ok I finished all the work she's behind in." Roman says. "I finish her work for today and tomorrow." Killian adds on. "I finished organizing everything." I say.

"I'll call our parents, telling them we're staying another week." Roman says. "We should send her and Lily to the farm house for a little break." He continues. I nod. "I like that idea."

Hopefully this break will help her a little.

We head downstairs and see Ezra completely passed out with Lily and Sofia cuddled next to her.

Even at young ages they both know somethings wrong with her.

"Is mom ok?" Lily asks. "She's fine just tired." Roman answers. "Why don't you ask her to get ice cream tomorrow and walk around Milan." Killian says as she nods. "Ok." She smiles.

"Is it Luca's fault she's sad?" She asks. "Yes." Killian answers as i elbow him in the side. "No, it's just the mafia is getting hard for her." I add on. "She just needs a little break and I think spending the day with you will help her." I continue as Lily nods.

We don't talk about Luca and Victoria in this house. We haven't talked about them in two years.

Oh and Lily knows why we left now. She was snooping around. Roman being Roman taught her how to hack things and she decided to hack the Vincenzo's security cameras.

She saw everything that went down with Ezra and Luca. The initial fight when Luca kicked them out, than Ezra trying to fight for them to stay.

Ya she's only 13 years old and knows how to hack security cameras. Thank you Roman.

"Let's start cooking dinner." Roman says.

We head to the kitchen and start cooking.

A few moments later

Ezra walks in.

"Hi mom." Lily smiles. "Hi honey." She responds forcing a smile. "I have a question." She says as Ezra looks at her. "Can we hang out tomorrow?" She asks as Ezra nods. "What do you want to do?" She questions.

Lily pretends to think. "Gelato, than go shopping, o o o and walk around Milan like we do around Christmas." Lily pauses. "Wait the Piazza Mercanti. No wait wait. Parco Sempione." She continues. "Wait no, Via Manzoni."

Seems like she wanted to hang out with Ezra a lot more than we thought.

Ezra laughs softly. "We'll get gelato, we'll eat it at Parco Sempione. Than after that we'll go shopping around Via Manzoni."

"That sounds good." Lily smiles.

Time jump

It's been three days.

Ezra went back to work sense she feels bad that we've been doing everything for her.

"How are we gonna get her out of her office?" Roman asks. "Most importantly how are we gonna help her?" I ask.

"Sadly." Killian sighs. "She can only help herself." He says. "She doesn't like when we run things and help her. She just needs to figure it out, and if she needs help we'll be here." He shrugs. "I don't like that." I shake my head.

"Let's see how she does running a week without our help." He says. "And if she breaks down?" Roman questions. "Than we know not to do that again."

"I don't like this idea." I sigh. "This could push her back not-" Killian cuts me off. "We're testing something out, we're not leaving her. We're gonna be here incase she does come for help."

"Ok fine, if this goes horribly wrong. I'm killing both of you." I glare at them. "Why do you guys always threaten to kill us." Roman stares at me as I shrug. "Let's just hope she asks someone for help." Killian shrugs. "She's not going to." I say.

A week later

Ezra hasn't broken down, she just seem more drained. Either way we're going to give her a few days off, because she's obviously not doing well.

We walk into her office. "Do you need any help?" I ask. "No I'm fine." She answers not looking up from her papers.

"You should take a few minute break, go downstairs make yourself some coffee. Than come back up." Roman shrugs.

"Oh and shower." Killian points out. "Not that you smell bad." He quickly says. "Showering helps when you're stressed." He continues. "Just stop talking." I shake my head.

"I'm fine, I'll take a break later." She says.

I sigh and go to walk out. I turn back around and see her hand on her forehead as I watch tears fall on the papers.

"Ezra." I say. "Ya." She responds quietly. "If you need help I'll help you." I say. "We can go through it together." I continue. "I'm fine Iris, you can leave." She sighs. "You're no-" she cuts me off. "I am. Leave."

I reluctantly walk out.

—————————Luca's POV————————

I go to walk in the kitchen, I stop walking when I hear my mom and dad talking.

"Roman and Killian are staying another week." My mom sighs. "Ezra hasn't gotten better?" My dad asks as my mom shakes her head.

"So what are they gonna do?" My dad questions. "They're thinking they'll send her and Lily to a farm for a week." My mom answers. "I don't know nothing seems to be working. Everything seems to be getting worse for her." My mom sighs.

"Rocco's in the hospital did you know that?" She questions as my dad shakes his head. "What happened?" He sits down on a chair. "Roman said Ezra found him laying on the ground having a hard time breathing." She says sitting down next to him. "Did he say what caused it?" He asks. "Roman didn't say."

I look down at my hands and start playing with my rings as I gulp. After a moment of debating whether or not to walk into the kitchen I decide to I turn around and walk back to my office.

I've heard that Ezra has been struggling, that's why both Killian and Roman have been going down there more. I've had my bags packed for a while, they're always packed. Incase I get the balls to go up to Milan to see them.

I let the two people I love most down, and now they're struggling. I just want to see them again. I want to visit them more than anything.

I sit down in my chair. I look at the two pictures on my desk. One of Ezra and I on our first date and the other of Lily and I sleeping on the couch. I sigh and start looking through my emails on my computer.

I hear my phone ring, I ignore it cause it's probably Victoria.

"Luca." I instantly look back at my phone.

"I know I'm the last person you want to talk to but." She pauses. "I just need... Help, I can't do this anymore. I can't run the mafia with everything. It's just getting to much. I don't have my dad helping me." Her voice cracks. "I know Iris, Roman and Killian have been trying to help run the mafia... but it's not their job." She pauses. "It's not your job either to help me but..." she stops talking for a moment. "You don't have to call back cause your probably busy, I just needed to rant to someone. That's all." Ezra says. "Well anyways bye."

My phone beeps.
