"Oh, so good... Now I need you to get some berries from the garden... Kids would love to have strawberry shake."

Rose Mancini, the current Mafia Queen and the wife of Jacob Mancini, is over the moon after learning that her only daughter Catherine and her two naughty babies will be here to spend their summer vacation with the family.

"Sure, Madam," Jeena leaves the kitchen.

Rose is an excellent baker who had always dreamed of starting her own bakery shop somewhere near the town she was born and brought up. She is an American citizen born to a middle-class family.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxhGFcJtzDx
Jacob, on the other hand, is Italian. He was born into an Italian Mafia family, Mancini, which is well known for its ruthlessness. Once Jacob's Dad, who was the head of the Mancini family, passed away, it was handed to him, as he was the eldest son among the leader's kids. Since the age of 18, he started to rule the Italian mafia, perhaps the youngest Mafia leader in Mancini history. For ten years, he led a powerful, ruthless Mafia clan. He was known as Beast because of his ruthless and merciless behavior.

Until he met a sweet innocent girl who accidentally messed up with his plan to be executed in her town. He was fascinated by her beauty and charm at first sight.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjhu9t9tlbj
It was a sure thing that Rose would never accept a ruthless Mafia king to be her lover; thus, the man created a whole new identity for himself. A poor innocent orphan boy ran away from his Italian master. He pretended himself to be homeless and jobless to gain her sympathy; the poor girl fell for his trap and tried her best to support the boy and gradually fell for him or to be more precise, he made the situations to fall her into his trap.

Finally, the couple got married after their long two-year love relationship. In these two years, Jacob got a load of affection, love, care from the little girl who considers Jacob is everything in her life.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFgMV2y9jrF
After the marriage, Jacob left the Italian mafia permanently and handed over his Leader position to his second brother who wasn't willing at the beginning and started a fresh new life as a kind and softhearted man, which was adored by Rose. He started a small Import Export business in the country which gradually turned into a huge success. Within eight years, his company became one of the top exporting and shipping companies in the country.

Rose gave birth to Carols, Catherine, and twin brothers Ethan and Logan. The big family was filled with joy and happiness until something unexpected happened.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxtM3dB9llG
Catherine, who was six, was kidnapped from her kindergarten which was a shock for the family. The police and government made huge efforts to find the kidnappers but in vain. Rose was shocked and got hospitalized for a panic attack for three days. Later it was found that the child was kidnapped by none other than the Russian Mafia's the biggest rivals of the Italian Mafia. Thrice Jacob had a war with the Russian and successfully defeated half of the clan.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQdjgQ5WHoI
Devastated, Jacob left for Italy and begged his brother to save and bring back his daughter for the Russians which is impossible for the police and legal authorities. His brother accepted his request and agreed but under one condition... Jacob needed to take back his position as Mafia leader in the Italian clan. Without another option left he accepted the deal and took over the position.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOEH1wu1bN5
After a blood shedding war led by Jacob they defeated the Russians and killed the whole Ivanov family who had controlled the Russian clan and got back his daughter. Once Jacob came back from Italy with his daughter he confessed the whole mafia thing to Rose and kids which made them speechless. It took three years for her to get convinced and accept his new identity but still she couldn't accept the fact her husband is just opposite to what he pretended.

"Ummm smells really good!" Ethan, her third child and the one who wasn't involved with the mafia business enters the kitchen.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYptLAFgY4t
"Oh finally, my big son got the time to spend his time with mom?" She said mockingly and continued stirring the pot.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFH7mbFEBM9
The Mancini men are always out of town busy with the mafia and export business. Catherine is settled in Germany with her husband Alex and kids.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOP1JAtcPwD
"Oh mom I am so sorry... I was busy with the online meeting." Ethan owns a chain of hotels in Italy mainly useful for the Mancinis and their clan.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0cmyqnFbqe
"Of course, your meetings and business are more important than your lonely mother. How could you all be so loveless?" Ethan walks and stands next to Rose and gives her a warm hug.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPb8CX4uGF2
"Mama I am sooo sorry it was an important meeting with Spain...hummm le-
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ2ENbCQCP
"Spain mafia. Right? Oh My when will you all stop this bloody business?!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxldAxQw8cd
"Mom you know what's the answer for it... It's a promise Dad made and we can't break them... We are Mancinis and we are bound to be part of Italian mafia liking or not it's a fact." He says while grabbing a few doughnuts and munching.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAH29N5iOgqz
"Yeah, the same excuse your Dad and brothers say for the last twenty years! I am fed up with trying to make you all good human beings." She huffs and moves to the inside kitchen.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6iRO6xWw7P
Ethan feels sympathy for his lovely mother who was forced to accept the dark world.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVaDLrVeTGX
He follows her and tries to light up the mood.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q2IFmF19W
"Umm why are you making all these sweets and candies? Surely not for Dad, he is diabetic, the only sweet he could have is his Rose." Rose blushes lightly and gives him a smack.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAO2S93jrvYk
"Ouch what's with that?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAodnigoaINN
"Don't be so blunt... Umm the sweets are for kids." She says while chopping the vegetable making Ethan gasp audibly.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAG7Bkp7QqeH
"Don't be so blunt... Umm, the sweets are for kids," she said while chopping the vegetables, causing Ethan to audibly gasp.
186Please respect copyright.PENANADWVJovNrSm
"Mom, why didn't you inform me earlier?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbWiKr2Yx8T
"Ethna, don't overreact, dear, they are your little nephew and niece."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAy4N8e09puu
"Little devils suits them better... Mom, they are just spoiled brats... Don't you know what they did to me last time they came here for vacation?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGiziQz7R7B
"Ethan, they are just four-year-old kids, and it wasn't completely their fault. Monica was just looking for the right time to break up with you, and the prank the kids played on her was just an excuse for it," Rose said simply and continued her work.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGqFlMcJCZG
"So you are blaming Monica for the whole thing and not—"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAuS0Iz7y1Y7
"Ethan, enough, we have spoken about this earlier. They will be here for the whole summer vacation. Alex would be here only on the initial ceremony day."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFqtHUC9h3L
"Hmmm, I wonder if C finds Bella. The media is just making things worse. If he can't produce her at the press conference at the initial ceremony, then we are doomed," he said thoughtfully while recalling the headlines of reputed newspapers highlighting Bella's runaway with the supermodel.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvQI8VdhLUv
"I hope so, once she comes back, we need to hold an engagement and declare the wedding date on the same day."
186Please respect copyright.PENANApPGlKJ4nJQ
"Si, but I don't think C would be happy with that. Who would agree to marry a girl who has slept with half of the film industry?" None of the Mancini siblings were happy with the alliance with Bell.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnwtBtaYHHr
"Ethan, your grandfather is the one who promised to take the eldest daughter of Millers for saving his life and business at a crucial point. Never did Jacob or I think the Millers would come back after all these years with a proposal," Rose said with a sigh.
186Please respect copyright.PENANABTL0ELJPKP
"Wish he had a better choice," Ethan said sympathetically and left the room with the bowl of cookies Rose made.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4dK77xqpJL
Jeena enters the kitchen with a basket full of berries and oranges.
186Please respect copyright.PENANARejdnqQ7dR
"Jeena, did Catherine say she would stop somewhere?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlALyrarP6Y
"No, madam, she called me half an hour ago saying they have arrived and found Joel... They are probably on the way to her."

Rose quickly removed the apron, straightened her peach dress, and rushed out with a broad smile.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIFY5ngQUoM
"Ah! Mom... Hey, get off!" Ethan's voice echoed from the corridors.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAU5FqARjhYY
"Oh my God... The kids haven't arrived, and already he started to get into a fight," she muttered under her breath and strode to the corridor to see what her grandchildren and her grown-up child have gotten into now.
