Chapter 261.
Kayden's pov.
We have all dressed in our finest suits. This have turned out to be a big day for the mafia.
And I still can't believe we have banded together under one true leader but Leon is right.
Talia is the true real leader. She is the one that have kept us all in check, us wanting to be better for her and towards others.
She have had such a big impact on everyone around her whether she try or not.
Now waiting for the new Donna of our mafia to walk down the stairs I feel my heart pounding in my chest.
Uncle Arthur and dad know about our plan so they have gotten that schedule in for today. All I can do is just pray our girl will say yes to us.
I look at the rest of my guys and they look up the stairs in anticipation for our girl. I can see they are just as nervous as I am.
Suddenly we see her guards walking around the corner and take their position on the stairs.
Then Theo and Talia comes into view and I felt my heart stopped beating and my breath get caught in my throat.
She is absolutely stunning, she is breathtaking beautiful and she have this glow about her.
The twins look at each other and smiles before they start making their way down the stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs uncle Arthur is waiting for them.
He wish them both happy birthday again and then we all start with the compliment like always.
We had the same seating arrangement as we did when we headed to the mafia ball just plus Bradley this time.
"Babe you look amazing I can't get over how breathtaking you are." I said looking her right in her eyes and the rest of the guys nodded while she blush.
"You all look rather handsome in your suits as well." Talia said in a sweet angelic tone and it makes all of us blush as well.
We want to look our best of our angel today. It's a big day for her as well our plan we have today.
We all keep talking with each other for a while until we get close to the venue we are gonna be at.
"Bambina, when we step outside now, you will have to answer to 'Donna' only your guys, and your father can call you by your name or a pet name." Ken said and Talia looked at him with wide eyes.
"This is so all the other Mafia understand that you are not a person they can mess with. When they see you have so much honor amongst top previous top mafias they understand you have a huge backing." Alan continued to explain.
"Because your so young and because your a female, they may try to look down on you, but you know how to put people in their place." Charlie said with a smile.
"We don't want to shed any blood tonight but people is not allowed to disrespect you. So either you will handle it, us or your oldest brothers previous Don's but it's best you do it yourself." Jake said and we all nodded our head to that.
"I understand, only dad or my six guys can call me anything other then 'Donna' I won't answer to anything else." Talia said with a small smile on her face.
"Your father will be the one following you down the stairs and over to the table." Tyler explained further.
"While your six guys walks in two lines behind you and we will take up positions on the stairs like we did at home." Riley explained and we all nodded acknowledge we have understood.
"When you are gonna leave the car, wait until you Dad is holding out a hand for you." Alan instructed and Talia nodded again.
Not long after that our car came to stop and Talia's guards moved out taking position next to the red carpet.
Not long after uncle Arthur moved up to the car and hold out his hand for Talia to take.
"You got this babe/baby/Liebe/Amore/Love/Tesoro" we all said in a low voice in unison and then we just chucked at each other while Talia gave us an amusing smile.
She took her dad's hand and he helped our out of the limousine then we headed out and walked behind Talia and uncle Arthur in two lines.
Flashes and journalists comes from both sides. The journalists asking a lot of questions to who this beautiful woman is, what is the reason the prestigious families have suddenly come together to have a banquet. And other stuff like that but we all ignored them.
I saw uncle Arthur whisper something to Talia and they both had a smile on their face.
We entered the building and then we walked down a hallway towards the room we are gonna be in.
"Remember Bambina, only myself and your six guys can call you anything other then 'Donna' don't let them try to belittle you." Uncle Arthur said in a low voice but we all heard him.
"I understand, my guards told how important this is." Talia said in a low voice as well with a small smile and uncle Arthur nodded.
"Good. We will walk down and you seven will be sitting with a table together with me, Eliana, and the previous Don's and their ladies. But you will sit on the head of the table and your guys split on each side close to you." Uncle Arthur continues to explain and we all nodded.
Then uncle Arthur nodded to the to servant waiting to open the door for us.
When the door opened up a man standing on top of the stairs gave a nod to uncle then he turned around and looked down on everyone seated in the banquet hall.
"Everyone stand up and welcome the new leader of the joinet alliance that was The American Mafia, The Italian Mafia, The British Mafia, The Russian Mafia, The Mexican Mafia, The German Mafia and The Irish Mafia." He said in a microphone and everyone stood up and looked our way.
I saw Talia took a squeezed a little harder around uncle's arm, I can see she is nervous but she is keeping our nerves in check.
I feel my own nerves, and I see the other five is just as nervous but we have to show strength not only for our girl but show we are not to be messed with.
Big gatherings like this is always nerve wracking but it's also important to have these gatherings to keep the lesser mafias in check.
Now I just pray they all respect our girl but I'm also sure Talia will handle the disrespect herself if anyone try to look down on her.
The growth she have shown from the scared girl in the hospital bed in Seattle to the woman standing in front of me right now have been an amazing journey to experience with her and I can't be more proud of having her as mine.
