Chapter 251 - What Family Feels Like!

Name:The Villain Author:tanu_sam
Persephone ran to open the door when she heard the doorbell ring. As she opened the door, she found Emmaline and Killian standing at the door. She hugged both of them and welcomed them inside. 

"Wow, you have decorated the place so beautifully," Emma said with a smile as they entered the house.

"Where is my goddaughter?" Killian asked. 

"Oh, she is inside with Lara," Persephone replied as she served them drinks. "How are you guys doing? And have you heard from Ellison?"

Killian pursed his lips. This was a topic he didn't like to discuss. Ever since Ellison and Salvatore moved to Italy with Emy and Carina, he had been upset with his sister. It wasn't like he was upset with his sister, it was just that he didn't like how his sister moved with her husband to Italy just like that. She didn't even care about his betrayal. 

Emma didn't say anything and grabbed the glass of drink and let Killian reply to her. 

"We are doing great. And Alicia is fine too with her husband," Killian said, his tone though was that of bitterness. 

Persephone heard the doorbell ringing again. On opening the door, she found Nash, Valencia and Junior standing outside. She hugged her best friend and ruffled Junior's hair. 

"What about me?" Nash grumbled, trying to hug her. 

"Touch her and see how I punch you," Santiago's voice was heard in the living room. He walked to his wife and snaked an arm around her waist, her feet in the air as he squished her in his arms. "Missed you so much, baby." 

Persephone smiled like a baby and buried her head in his embrace. Look how loving her husband was. 

Nash and Valencia groaned as they saw another dose of love Dovey. They couldn't bear to see this version of Santiago. For the last month, both Villain and his wife had been extremely clingy. 

"Can you not pollute my son's eyes?" Valencia said, pulling her son to her side. 

Santiago rolled his eyes and gently kissed his wife's temple. "Let's go, baby. They are just jealous seeing how peaceful we are." 

Nash had an urge to vomit. He pulled his fiance to his arms and kissed her cheek. "I got my darling!" 

"Ah, this is not the scene I had been expecting to see," Both Santiago and Persephone looked up to see Callum standing at the doorstep with a high gift box in his hands. 

"And you were told not to buy any gifts," Persephone quickly said. 

"Oh come on, it's my favourite Goddaughter's day. She is getting six months old today and would be tasting food for the first time ever. How could I not buy her a gift? This is insane. I must get her the best gifts on all her special days," Callum said as a matter of fact. 

"She is your only Goddaughter," Nash couldn't help but say. 

"That's because you guys are not working hard," Callum retorted. "I don't mind more nieces and granddaughter. I will shower them with gifts on every occasion. Give me some more nieces and goddaughters. For now, let me shower the one I got with presents." 

"You are spoiling her," Santiago said with a sigh. 

"What are uncles for?" Callum said, challenging him to argue 

Persephone and Santiago sighed and accepted the gift. "Everyone is here. We should go inside." They walked to the living room where everyone else had been sitting and enjoying drinks. 

Cameron, who had come for a vacation here, came with baby Eleanora. The baby was dressed in a very gorgeous pure white frock. On her head was a pretty flower headband. Her tiny feet were covered in very cute white handmade booties. She was so gorgeous that everyone who saw her had an urge to steal her. Her head was full of curly red hair. Her blue eyes were bright and delighted at the sight of her favourite people. 

"Oh, God, her smile is lethal," Nash commented dramatically, clutching his heart. 

When Eleanora saw her favourite aunt in the world, she raised her arms, cooing and squealing. She was telling her aunt in baby language to pick her up. 

"My Ellie, you are not supposed to change sides," Cameron said, feigning hurt. Eleanora's lips wobbled when she saw his hurt face. 

"Ah, give me my favourite niece," Valencia cooed and hugged her. 

"You guys stop carrying her so much," Persephone said. "You are making it hard for me in the future. You come for a few hours and then my daughter keeps me awake at night, demanding that I keep her in my arms." 

"How can you resist not giving in to her demands?" Killian asked, taking her from Valencia. "If I were to spend a day with her, I don't think I would be willing to even part a second away from her. And whenever you post those videos of her, Emma grumbles about how you get to experience all those cute moments." 

"Eleanora is the biggest blessing of my life," Santiago said as he pulled Persephone to his side. He kissed her hair and added," If not for my wife, I would have never known the joy of a child and a family. So, thank you, love." 

Persephone smiled with teary eyes. "You don't have to thank me." 

"Now. Now. Stop getting sentimental," Callum said, lighting the atmosphere of the room. "Now, let's start what we are here for." 

They all fed Eleanora and captured lots of moments to save the memories of this day. Although the baby couldn't eat more than one spoonful of puree, still they fed a tiny bit, turn by turn and the little girl was so happy with her family. She was always smiling and giggling, making everyone happy too. 

While everyone was dancing and singing for Eleanora, Santiago and Persephone were standing in the distance, his arms wrapped over her shoulder, saving this sweet memory in their hearts and minds. 

"If this is what family feels like, I never want to lose them," He whispered, tightening her hold over her shoulder.
