Becoming The Mafia Queen 143. The Black Widow
SOFIAI didn't say a word when I left the beach. I didn't tell Freida where I was going, and I didn't meet Isaac's eyes. I didn't bother to explain why a man dressed in a black suit had come to collect me in the middle of the beach, and they didn’t try to stop me. Maybe they knew better, or maybe they assumed it was something personal. Or maybe, on some level, they already knew I wasn't someone they could follow.The black limo was parked at the far end of the road, with the windows tinted so dark that I could see my own face in them. I swallowed whatever was left of my hesitation and pulled the door open, already rehearsing what I'd say to Adrian after everything. I'd imagined this moment a thousand times. I'd imagined him furious, and I'd imagined him relieved. I'd imagined how much he’d changed, but I'd also imagined him untouched. I'd imagined all of it except for the one reality that greeted me when I stepped inside.It wasn't Adrian.It was Rafe.What the actual fuck?He just sa
Becoming The Mafia Queen 142. The Beach
SOFIAI wasn't supposed to enjoy days like this anymore. That was the first thought that crossed my mind as I kicked off my sandals and stepped onto the warm sand, watching a stretch of blue water glimmer right in front of me. It was Saturday, so Freida had suggested we go down the beach since I’d never been. I didn’t leave Sherman Oaks for anything except school and lunch with Freida or Isaac, so I was excited for the chance to head up to Malibu and enjoy the sun. "Come on, don't stand there like you're posing for a missing person flyer," Freida called, already spreading out her towel. She wore oversized sunglasses and a pink bikini top that she kept insisting she hated. Isaac trailed behind her with a cooler in hand, with his shirt half unbuttoned and silently pretending he wasn't flexing."I didn't even say anything," I muttered, dropping my bag beside them."You were thinking," she said. "Same thing."There were more people from our building with us today. Freida had announced to
Becoming The Mafia Queen 141. The New Game
SOFIAI'd been sitting there long enough for the ice melting in my water to form a ring on the tablecloth. My fingers wouldn't stop moving, twisting together in my lap as I watched the door. I kept telling myself I had control over this. I chose to come, and I asked for this meeting. But that didn't stop the pulse in my throat from hammering when I finally saw him walk in.Don Vito didn't rush when he walked in (or floated in, rather). He moved like the room belonged to him before he even reached the table, in his dark suit with his cane tapping softly, and amused eyes that probably had me figured out before he'd even taken his seat."So," he said as he glide into the chair across from me, resting his cane against the table, “you've summoned me, Miss Moretti. Usually men summon me to beg, but you don't look like a beggar.""I'm not," I said, even though my voice was low. I forced myself to meet his eyes. "I'm here to tell you that I'm ready to join you."He smiled and said, "Ready to
Becoming The Mafia Queen 140. The Babysitter
SOFIAI don't know how long we stood there after that first kiss, but I knew one thing the moment we stepped inside the apartment, I wasn't going to pretend I didn't want this. I closed the door behind us quickly, but I was surprised when he didn't touch me. He didn’t even speak at all. He just watched me silently, his chest rising and falling slowly like he was waiting for me to change my mind."I'm not drunk," I said. “If that’s what you’re worried about, then you shouldn’t be.”"I know,” he said in a husky voice. "And I'm not confused about this,” I added as I took a step towards him. “Well, I am,” he said. “I don’t want to fuck this up, and I…”I didn't let him finish before I reached for him, my fingers curling into the collar of his shirt as I pulled him towards me. The second kiss wasn't soft. It was hungry and impatient, as if everything we'd been holding back snapped at once. He reacted with a sharp breath, one hand finding the small of my back and the other cupping my jaw
Becoming The Mafia Queen 139. The Wicked Don of the West
SOFIAI’d never felt so utterly fucked in my entire life than in that moment when I was sitting in front of Don Vito and he was staring at me calmly. I didn't know whether to look at his face, or at the cane poised between his hands. I was painfully aware of the fact that he could use it as a weapon if he wanted to. As if at any moment, he would smack me across the face with it. Don Vito Marino.I'd heard his name several times already, and I knew how much of a tyrant he could be. The man ruled the west coast with an iron fist, and no one could dare to stand in his way. I was well aware of how dangerous he was. So the smart thing to do would be not to piss him off. Unfortunately…“What the fuck do you want with me?” I spat before I could stop myself. He raised a surprised eyebrow, as if he’d never had someone dare to speak to him that way. But then he chuckled, and he raked his fingers through his greying hair. “I just wanted a little chitchat with the hottest mess in town,” he sa
Becoming The Mafia Queen 138. The Professor
SOFIAFreida chose a booth by the window at the little café near campus, already halfway through an iced latte by the time I walked in. She waved me over with an impatient flick of her hand, and I slid into the seat across from her, dropping my bag beside me."You're late," she said."There was traffic,” I lied, when in reality I’d been looking into the mafia scene in Los Angeles and trying to figure out who Isaac was working under. As far as I could tell, Don Vito controlled everything here. But there was no way Isaac was working directly under him. There were others, and I needed to figure out who they were. "But you don't drive,” she said with a raised eyebrow. I shrugged and said, "Then there was emotional traffic."“Very funny,” she snorted. "You're getting better at lying. I'm proud of you for that."We ordered as soon as the waiter arrived, and she got a chicken salad she definitely wouldn't finish, while I got a wrap I wasn't sure I could eat. The waiter walked away, and Fre
