             Ricardo roared with laughter, as he watched his two year old Ricardo Victor, pulling Jorge Antonio’s hair; in order to keep him from getting the toy that he wanted.

Juanit
a ran over, “No fighting, you boys act just like your father and uncle.”

Ricardo pulled Juanita into the floor and the boys began crawling all over her.

He watched his wife and his sons playing and felt a pride swell up in his heart for his family.

He vowed to himself
: that he would never allow them to go through, what he and his little brother had gone through.

“Hey Juanita, how do you feel about trying for a little girl?” Ricardo sheepishly smiled.

Juanita screeched, “Yes,” as she jumped in his arms, oddly enough, she had been thinking the same thing lately.

For the first time in his life Ricardo thought to himself, “Life is good…”

The End…

My birth name was, “Mathias Novak” I had changed it when I left New York at a young age and relocated to California.

You see, “Carl Sims” sounded much more Americanized and it would keep me from being viewed as a mobster, or a thug.

I like to think of myself as a business man with an edge and the words mobster and thug carry a stigma with them that I did not want to be associated with.

Being of European descent I am very particular.

I am a polished man, a very precise man and perfected at anything that I do.

Not just any woman has the capability to snag my attention, it takes a certain something if you will and women like Katrina are few and far between.

I have no intention of letting Katrina get away from me.

Then there was also the issue of the diary, I will be keeping Katrina on a short leash…

Katrina

Giving that diary back would be admitting that I had stolen it and used it to write my story.

It meant admitting that my novel which had now become a worldwide, phenomenal best seller; was nothing more than a hoax.

This created a grave problem, it meant losing a lot of money and worse than that, it meant my reputation as a writer would be ruined.

I had no choice, I would have to try and charm this snake, somehow, some way, into not ruining all that I had worked for.
