It’s been three days and Primo hasn’t texted me nor called me. I know he told me that he wouldn’t be home but I was still worried. What if something happened to him and I wasn’t there by his side? I tried to call his phone but he wasn’t answering. I paced the room hoping I would get tired and fall asleep so I wouldn’t have to worry. I held my little baby bump. Worrying too much isn’t good for the baby. I sat down on the bed and turned the TV on. I was watching a movie when my phone rang. I was so happy to see Primo’s name flashing on the screen. I quickly turned the TV off and answered the call.
I finally arrived at the middle of the warehouse. Soren was standing in the center, his back facing me. He suddenly clapped and I was on my guard. “I underestimated you Luna.” He turned to me and smiled like a psycho. “When I saw you shoot that man’s leg at the club, you really surprised me. The wife of the Capo is a trained killer. I thought to myself, I’m going to have to be careful with you around.” He walked closer but I stepped back. He started to walk in circles and I followed him. “I’m going to enjoy killing you but I won’t do it tonight. I’ll save you for last. I want to show you how I&rsqu
I didn't know how badly the effects of what happened between me and Soren were. While I was recuperating, I often overheard Primo and Niccolo talk about the Bratva and Cosa Nostra. Apparently, Soren's death was a big turning point. The Bratva started moving and they terrorised the properties that were owned by the Cosa Nostra. It was difficult for me to find out about the other things since I was still bound to my bed. Marina visited me often and I would get the news from her.
I have spent most of my time recovering and after a few weeks, I was finally able to get out of bed and walk downstairs. Marina was always by my side and like the weeks before, Primo was rarely at home. I understood why he couldn’t come home. He’s trying to solve this problem with the Bratva as soon as possible. It was a difficult time for all of us but we need to stay strong and keep moving forward. We just have to trust in Primo and the others.
The funeral was held for both Capos. My father’s funeral was back in California and my father in law’s funeral was held here in New York. It wasn’t a big event, they tried to keep it simple to attract less attention from the enemy. Marina and I cried because we couldn’t go back to California to mourn our father. It was for the best that we stayed here. We never know what’s gonna happen to us if we tried to fly to California so we just decided to stay here. I took out my phone and I called Salva. He picked up after a few rings.
A few days later and Primo’s ceremony was finally going to happen. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do as his wife but Niccolo told me I only needed to stand by his side as everything was taking place. I had to dress up in a simple white dress and I stood next to Primo as the ceremony started. Same with the funeral, there were only a few guests here to witness the ceremony. Niccolo stepped in front of Primo and using the knives that were in front of them, both Niccolo and Primo cut their palms open and they shook hands. Niccolo then proceeded to kneel in front of Primo and pledged his loyalty to his brother.
A few days after Primo’s ceremony they were busy once more. Marina has technically moved in with me since Niccolo was busy as well. It’ll be safer for Marina to stay here since I have Dino as my bodyguard. Plus there are other guards outside too so we'll be safe if we stay indoors. Marina and I were in the kitchen making breakfast when the topic about the mob popped up. “Luna, why is the Bratva so angry with us?” Marina asked. I was by the stovetop stirring the sauce I was making for the pasta when she suddenly asked me that. Her question actually stopped me in my tracks. I don’t even know why the Bratva is after the Cosa Nostra’s territories. To be honest, I’m not familiar with the history between the two factions. I’ve never really questioned that before. Marina’s question got me thinking about the whole affair with the Bratva. They wanted to kill us so badly but why? “Luna?” Marina called my name. I quickly snapped out of my trance and looked at her. I shook my head and told her I
“This is a sensitive topic and it’s all speculation so far but we’ve heard that the current leader of the Bratva had a sister. When they were young, someone from the Cosa Nostra took his sister. They were never able to find out who took her and why but they were so adamant that it was someone from the Cosa Nostra. Ever since then, the Bratva has been meddling in the affairs of the Cosa Nostra and is inflicting chaos within our society.” Dino explained. I’ve never heard of that story before but if that were the case then doesn’t that mean that we’re the ones at fault?“Is that what the men in the mob are told?” Marina asked. Dino shook his head and explained further.“When you become a Made Man in the Cosa Nostra, you are told that the Bratva is the enemy. There’s no reason given as to why they are the enemy but that is what we are told.” He explained. That’s a bit odd considering the rumors are saying that we were the ones who started the feud with the Bratva
Once I was ready, Marina went outside to tell Dino that I was asleep and that she'll be in the room with me. She also told him that she'll be sleeping and if it was okay with him, not to disturb us. Of course, Dino agreed as he stayed downstairs by the door. Now the problem is how am I going to go outside. Dino is by the front door which has a clear view of the stairs so I can't leave the second floor without him seeing me. I could try climbing down the balcony but it's a long way down and there's no way to hold on to and climb down slowly. I checked the windows of my bedroom and I noticed a pipe running from the roof down to the ground floor. I thought that maybe I could just slide down there since it looks sturdy enough to hold me."This is crazy, Luna. Are you sure you want to go? We can solve the issue here. We don't have to go outside and endanger our lives." Marina said but I shook my head. I a
