Becoming The Mafia Queen 43. The Dinner Party
ADRIANFrom the moment we drove onto the property, I knew I was going to have a headache by the end of the day Nothing about Don Vito's dinner party was casual, and it seemed like every guest had been handpicked for maximum effect. As we pulled up to the compound, with Rafe sitting tensely beside me and a motorcade of black sedans lined up behind us, I silently prayed I would be done with this shit before midnight. Inside, the place looked like someone had taken a royal palace and slapped it together with Hollywood. Every corner of the house was decorated in a modern but elegant style, and I doubted whether there was anyone here who had less than 20 million dollars in the bank. Don Vito greeted me at the door himself, and he looked nothing like the man I'd seen earlier. He had loosened up since, and I suspected he must have had a few glasses of wine already from how tipsy he looked. "Adrian," he said with a slight hiccup, clapping a hand on my shoulder like we were old friends. "Yo

SOFIAI stared at Ariana in disbelief for several seconds, my mind still struggling to process what she’d just said. The name was still floating around in my head, and I couldn’t quite explain how it made me feel. Queasy seemed like the right word, but I wasn’t entirely sure. "So you’re saying Adrian was engaged?" I asked, trying to sound casual, and not like the walls were closing in on me. "Yeah. But it was a long time ago,” Ariana said, her eyes shifting nervously as she looked hesitant. "Why didn't you mention her before?" I asked, hating how desperate I sounded. Ariana sighed, pushing her long hair back from her face as she sank further into the couch and said, "Because it's not a story I like telling. And because Adrian doesn't talk about it at all."I folded my arms and waited for her to continue, and when she saw that I wasn't letting this go, she gave in with a quiet sigh."Her name was Alessia Marino,” she said. “She came from a very powerful family which is tied to som

ADRIAN"We should be landing in about fifteen minutes,” Rafe said, causing me to look up from my tablet. “The motorcade is ready, and your meeting with the governor is set for three o'clock, and afterward we're heading straight to the hotel.”“We’ll need to stop and get a bite to eat,” I said. “I’m starving.”“We’ll get you a burger or something,” he said. “Don’t forget, we need to keep a low profile the entire time we’re here. Even though we've got people keeping watch and the routes have already been checked, I still don’t like it when we’re on foreign grounds."I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, barely listening to the last part. My gaze was fixed on the clouds outside the window, and the golden sunlight over the Los Angeles skyline below us. I'd been down here more times than I could count, but it never stopped feeling like foreign territory. If New York was chess, then LA was poker. It was all too flashy, and so unpredictable. I was constantly reminded of the fact that t

SOFIAAriana pulled up in her little red Mini Cooper about two hours later, her sunglasses too big for her face and her smile visible through the window. I was already standing on the curb, waiting for her to show up with my bags already In tow. "You ready?" she said, reaching across the seat to unlock the door for me."Absolutely," I replied, smiling at her . My bag was heavier than usual, probably because it was the first time I'd be staying at the DeLuca estate for more than a few hours. Or maybe it was because because it felt like I was running from something, and I didn’t want to come back. As I slid into the passenger seat, I asked the question that had been sitting on my mind ever since we spoke on the phone. "So why did you have to be the one to drop Adrian off at the airport? Doesn't he have a whole fleet of drivers for that?"“Of course he does,” she said, rolling her eyes . “ But I always drop him off when he's traveling.""Every single time?" I asked. "Yep. It's our thi
Becoming The Mafia Queen 39. The Break-In
SOFIAThe city blurred past the taxi window as I leaned my head against the glass, my eyes burning with tears that I refused to let fall. I hated crying, no matter the circumstances. I hated how it made me feel weak. I hated how it reminded me of that awful day, when Marco Giordano took everything away from me and all I could do was just sit there and cry like a little girl. I hated Adrian for doing this to me, for putting me in this uncomfortable situation where I would feel like I was crazy. But what I hated more was the way our conversation had ended with the yelling, the cold stares, and the way I'd shoved him away like he meant nothing to me. Even now, I still remembered the hurt expression on his face, and I knew immediately that I’d screwed up. But I was still too mad at him to take it back. So I decided to walk away instead. I didn't plan on snapping at him. I’d told myself that I wouldn't bring it up, and that I'd let it go. I kept telling myself that the voice on his car s
Becoming The Mafia Queen 38. The Fallout
ADRIANI tried so hard to keep my temper in check as I stormed through the hallway of Yale's administration building. My fingers were twitching too much, and I had to remind myself not to kill the bastard. It would be hard, but I knew better than to put that kind of heat on me. Not yet, at least. I stopped in front of his office and knocked once. The weight of my gun was digging into my side, but I doubted I would be needing it. After my investigation, I knew Roger Lambert to be a simple, unassuming man with the smile of a devil. After what Sofia had told me, I knew exactly what to expect. And I was looking forward to having a little chat with him. "Come in," he said, clearly oblivious to what was coming for him. The door creaked open as I pushed it in, and he looked up from his desk and froze when he saw me."Mr DeLuca," he said, scrambling to his feet. "What a pleasant surprise, and such an honor to have you in my office. I…I wasn't expecting... please, come in.""Sit," I said, c
