She wasnaked and covered in bruises. She looked sick and like she hadn’t been fed in days. She had his big sapphire blue green eyes as well as her brothers, blonde long hair that cascaded down to her knees, practically hiding her and a small fragile bruised body. “Hola mi mundo” he whispered softly, going near her making her whimper and pushed herself against the wall. She looked like she was in pain. “I’m not going to hurt you” he promised “I promise”.
Fernando groaned as he rubbed his eyes, then his gold necklace, his exhausted wife sleeping next to him, her head on his shoulder. It had been three years ago when his daughter was taken away by Gilberto Ronaldo and it affected the whole mafia. There wasn’t a female born to the Alonso—Garza family in about ninety years and once they finally got one to love she was ripped away from them. The immediate family had gotten real gold necklaces, an angel on it then on the back of the angel was Ximena written on it. “Mr. Alonso—Garza” a man said, waking him out of his trance. He glanced at the guys, one of the gifted hackers.
“Yes Phillip and for the love of God please call me Perry” he smiled weakly. Fernando wasn’t a weak mafia leader, nor a soft one but he didn’t want to seem unapproachable. “Sir we got her location” he said, making him almost stand. “Don’t tell me you are lieing” he choked on a sob, not wanting to get his hopes up. “I swear Perry we found a location” he smiled “she was in Mexico the whole time” “Wait— he hasn’t even left the country?” He asked, his eyes widened. Phillip shook his head. “Okay” Fernando grinned. “Let’s go get our princess back, sir” he smiled excitedly. … Fernando glared at Esmeralda as her eyes flickered to the dead body beside her. “Esme” he said firmly “you could have gotten shot” “I know I guess I’m a bit shaky” she said weakly “if all goes well we finally get to see our baby girl” He nodded, not being able to hide his joy.
“Tonio” a voice boomed through his earbuds “we got Gilberto, he did not age well” Adam snorted and Fernando laughed. “We’re in the dungeons ,we have a few more cells to clear, hopefully we find Ximena” he informed him. “Yes sir” Adam said, a little excited. “I’ll check this cell” Esmeralda pointed to a cell at the left corner with her gun. He nodded and went to the cell beside that one. He pushed the wooden door down and his eyes widened as he watched a small body push itself to the corner. He finally saw her and he was livid. She wasnaked and covered in bruises. She looked sick and like she hadn’t been fed in days. She had his big sapphire blue—green eyes as well as her brothers, blonde long hair that cascaded down to her knees, practically hiding her and a small fragile bruised body. “Hola mi mundo” he whispered softly, going near her making her whimper and pushed herself against the wall.
She looked like she was in pain. “I’m not going to hurt you” he promised “I promise” Her big eyes examined him and she relaxed a little. “Can I pick you up, mi mundo?” He asked softly. She nodded and he picked her up swiftly. She flinched at his touch but relaxed a little bit making his heart break. “Fern—” Esmeralda cut herself off when she noticed their child in his hands. “Mi mundo” she whispered as she soaked in her beauty. Ximana’s eyes widened and she tried to push her body into Fernando’s chest, only to wince later on. Fernando’s eyes hardened as tears pricked Esmeralda’s eyes. She stepped back, trying to maintain her distance and Ximena looked at her in shock as if she expected Esmeralda to retaliate differently.
He rushed outside, Esmeralda running behind him. Everyone’s eyes widened as they got a glimpse of the scared, dirty, bruised, fragile and beautiful mafia princess and they immediately wanted to kill. Adam’s eyes widened as he stared at his niece in shock. “How dare they” he whispered to himself as he watched the girl hide in her father’s chest. Fernando’s eyes flickered to Esmeralda, who gave him her vest, leaving her in a tank top not to mention she wasn’t wearing a bra. “What? I was in a hurry” she defended making him roll his eyes. He sat in the black Audi that had arrived recently and placed her small frame in his lap. Esmeralda sat next to them, still maintaining her distance and Adam took the wheel. They sat in silence, only concerned about the bruised girl in Fernando’s lap. A few minutes later they arrived at the private mafia hospital.
They immediately rushed her in, seeing as the Spanish mafia was the owner of the prestigious hospital. They immediately barged into a room, making the doctor in it turn to them, an amused expression on his face but his eyes hardened once he saw the fragile beauty in his arms. “Manuel” Fernando mumbled huskily, placing Ximena on the bed making her squirm then reach back for his chest. “It’s okay mi mundo” he cooed “He is not going to hurt you” She nodded and sat down, her eyes on her lap as she pulled her mothers vest close to her, liking how it smelled making Esmeralda squeal — in her head — “Hi little one” Manuel waved, making her flinch then snuggle into the wall. “He’s not going to hurt you, mi mundo” Fernando whispered, making her nod and allow Manuel to do this magic, holding unto her father’s hand tightly.
“Esme do you mind bringing mi mundo an outfit” he asked softly as he watched Esmeralda stare at their daughter in amazement. The little girl was still clinging to her vest, she looked tired but she was fighting it. “Yes Nana” she smiled, still dazed “right away” He chuckled as she blew Ximena akiss and as if on instinct Ximena’s head whipped to the side. Esmeralda rushed out and into her black audi. She quickly drove back to her home, jumping out a smile on her face. She opened the door swiftly and was met with Bridget, Adam’s wife, Fernando’s brother’s wife. “Ella?” She whispered as she wrapped her shawl around her body.
“We found her, Getty” Esmeralda informed her, making her squeal. “Oh the boys will be so happy” she giggled making her smile and nod. “But what are you doing here?” Bridget asked, making her smile drop. “I came to get her clothes” she explained “Getty she is scared of me” Bridget’s eyes widened. “W—What?” She stuttered. “I should be happy that she likes Fernando a but but all I feel right now is jealousy” she mumbled shyly “She is so precious, she has Fernando’s blonde hair, and his blue eyes and my green eyes” “So she looks just like the boys?” Bridget chuckled as she pulled her in. “Yeah” Esmeralda laughed as they rushed upstairs “she looks like the girl version of the boys” She smiled, happy that her best friend was happy as she opened the small brown wardrobe open. They had designed a room for Ximena a few weeks after she had been born.
Every year on her birthday, they spent hours in this room, just sitting in silence and hope. After a few minutes and arguments Esmeralda picked out plain grey joggers and a black tank top, smiling as she noticed white sneakers on the shoe rack. “It’s the mafia princesa she needs to dress— extravagantly” Bridget smiled. “She can dress ‘extravagantly’ later, Getty” Esmeralda chuckled air quoting the extravagantly. Bridget nodded and gave her the thumbs up as she jumped into her car and drove back to the airport. “Hey” she smiled at her husband who had a frown on his face “what’s wrong?” “She has a broken arm, and ribs” he sighed “well so far” Her eyes widened and tears flowed down her cheek instantly. “I’m such a failure” he sobbed as he pulled her into a hug “I’m sorry” “There is nothing to be sorry about Nana” she mumbled “you’re the best dad to the boys and I’m sure little Ximena will think so to” He nodded stiffly, a small smile on his face.
“The boys are mama’s boys though” he stated after a minute of silence making her chuckle and smack his chest. He smiled and cleaned her tears. “No more tears baby” he mumbled, staring into her beautiful green eyes. “I love you so much” she whispered, making him blush and smile. He pulled her into a passionate, showing her how much he loved her with the kids until someone cleared their throat, pulling them apart. “Now I know why you have so many kids” Manuel whispered softly, his Italian accent thick. “Sorry” Esmeralda blushed, tucking her brown hair behind her ear, a blush dancing on her skin. “You can go see her, the more I probe her with my strange instruments she’ll probably try to run away” he chuckled, making Fernando nod and give him a bro hug.
“Thanks man” he smiled “I owe you” “It’s for my niece” Manuel shrugged “no need for thanks, she’s an angel” Manuel was his most trusted friend. He had been through thick and thin and he was grateful for a friend like him. They walked in, Esmeralda still clutching unto the outfit she brought in. Ximena’s eyes lit up as she noticed the two faces she was now a bit familiar with. She waved making their heart swell. “Hey mi mundo” he smiled “we brought you some clothes” “Tha—nk you” she whispered softly, her voice like music to their ears. “Don’t thank us mi mundo” Esmeralda smiled making her smile softly then nod. “C’mon let’s get you changed” she smiled “I don’t think my vest can give you so much warmth” Ximena nodded, letting go of the vest accidentally, clinging unto Esmeralda. She had a bandage wrapped against her chest so she carried her carefully.
She changed her in the bathroom in the office after giving her a bath. Her eyes examined herself through the hug mirror, a small smile on her face. “Wow” she gasped making Esmeralda giggle. “Should I style your hair?” She asked slowly. Ximena nodded, still star struck about how clean and tidy she looked. Esmeralda grabbed her hair gently and a random brush on the table making her flinch and scream, tears running down her chubby cheeks. Fernando immediately barged in, his worse fears coming alive in his head. His princesa and reina getting kidnapped. “I am so sorry, mi mundo” Esmeralda cooed as she stumbled unto the floor, butt first.
She ran it tried to run into Fernando’s arms. He caught her before she could fall on the floor, tears pooling in her eyes. “It’s okay, mi mundo” Fernando cooed as he shook her slightly. Soon her crying turned into hiccups and Esmeralda quickly ran to get her water and Manuel threw him a look. “She is obviously suffering from trauma” he started then paused, allowing Ximana’s hiccups to fill the room “I assume when Esmeralda grabbed her hair she expected Esmeralda to start pulling it violently” “Esmeralda would never do that” Fernando added.
