The room was tense, and I could’ve pretended I was oblivious, but I wasn’t. My father had just walked in, and he was locking eyes with Emilio.

Papa looked like he wanted to kill Emilio with his bare hands. Emilio looked smug, like he was enjoying the attention he was getting from my father. It was clear that he enjoyed riling my father up, and I began to wonder why he had never told anyone about our affair.

My father would’ve gone crazy if he had heard that I was sleeping with the man he hated the most. Seeing them in the same room and the tension between them became clear between them was clearly hate and nothing else.

I wondered what Emilio had done to my father to elicit such an emotion within him. Papa rarely gave anyone the time of day, including his daughter.

It was really serious, and I didn’t know whose side to take. While I was beginning to question my father, I also couldn’t trust Emilio because he was a gangster and he had killed people before.

He had obviously lied so muc

  • Don Emilio's Redemption   Need To Know

    Papa was lying on a hospital bed with many tubes attached to his body. He had never looked more flawed in his entire life, according to me.He was suddenly helpless, and not the bully I knew for years. I couldn’t help but wonder how my mother would feel about seeing him in such a state.The last time he was jumped outside of his building by the men Emilio had sent, she was so worried about him that she actually left the house without straightening her hair and wearing any makeup.It was the first time I had ever seen her in a disheveled state. It was also when I also learned how much she really loved him because she was willing to sacrifice her dignity and how the world viewed her for him.I wondered if she still held the same empathy she did back then. A part of me doubted that she did because of how ill she had spoken about him the last time I saw her. Knowing she was somewhere in Greece, living her best life put a smile on my face.I wanted to see her even if it was just one so tha

    “Relax, you don't know that she’s the one who did this, and we can’t afford to offend her right now. You need to get your shit together and concentrate on how Papa will heal. He needs us right now, especially if he wants to come to terms with what has happened.” I said.“Are you defending her right now? Is it because you want her to protect you when you finally marry Tom? Let me tell you something. That woman is worse than Tom is. Where do you think he gets his nasty attitude from?”“Can you get your head out of your fucking ass? I’m not defending her. I just insulted her right this second. How could I care about how she sees me? I’m telling you this because we don’t know for a fact that she’s the one who did this, and instead of focusing on revenge, we should be focusing on how we’re going to make Dad feel better.”“But—”“He’s going to be paralyzed! Don’t you understand that? He has walked for all his life, and now suddenly he’s losing his legs. We need to figure out how we’re going

  • Don Emilio's Redemption   He is Okay

    Alessandro looked like he was going to lose his mind after Mimi said that. She was basically implying that she had tried to kill my father before and failed. I couldn’t put it past her to do something like that again.Except, I knew who had actually tried to kill Papa, and it wasn’t her.It was really disgusting for her to say something like that. He was about to lunge for her, but the doctor interrupted.“Alessandro Moretti?” he called.Alessandro closed his eyes and took deep breaths, and then he turned to the doctor. It seemed like he was contemplating whether or not to make Mimi pay right then and there or to listen to the doctor.I grabbed his arm to ground him into reality. This is what Mimi did. She liked provoking people and insulting them, and then losing her mind when they retaliated against her.Then she would use the retaliation as a way to justify all the bad things she did. I knew her best since she was my mother-in-law, and she was not a good person.“Let’s just hear wh

    Bianca was standing in front of us, looking like she hadn’t slept in days, and her eyes were red. I could’ve sworn that she smelled badly, too. I had never seen her in that state before because she was a person who valued her looks more than anything. She thought she was the most beautiful girl in the room, so she made sure she looked the part.She always dressed immaculately and wore flawless makeup, but seeing her in that state, with her makeup in a state of disarray and her clothes looking creased, I almost felt sorry for her.“What are you doing here?” I asked.“I was getting coffee from the cafeteria, and I saw you sitting here. You haven’t come to visit Tom once since he was admitted to the hospital, and he’s your fiancé. You’re not really earning any brownie points from his mother. She’s looking at you sideways. I doubt she’ll allow you to marry him.”I wish. That woman had some sort of obsession with me marrying her son, and I didn’t get why. It wasn’t like I obeyed every sin

  • Don Emilio's Redemption   Uncertainty

    The whole car ride towards the hospital had me thinking. My whole life was in a state of disarray. My mother was missing, and she was the daughter of a mafia king, and my father was fighting for his life in a surgery room.I felt frozen inside, like I didn’t know what to feel or think. Not to mention Emilio dropping the bomb that he had feelings for me, and what we had was more than just sex.It was all so confusing.When I arrived at the hospital, I located my brother. He was sitting on a bench with his head in his hands. He looked like he was about to lose it at any moment. When I put my hand on his shoulder, he got up and hugged me.He sobbed in my arms as I held him tightly. He had been the closest to my father. It must have been why the situation was affecting him that much.When he let go, he wiped his tears and apologized.“No need to apologize. I know how you’re feeling. It is scary not knowing what will happen to Papa.” I said.He nodded his head.I sat beside him, looking in

    Before I even had the opportunity to process the information I had been given, my phone rang. I put it on silent without checking who had called so that I could address the issue at hand but it kept buzzing.I picked it up angrily and screamed at the person on the other end.“Oh my God! What!” “Chiara…”It was Alessandro and his tone was off. He sounded like he was about to break down and I couldn’t understand why. “Sandro? What’s going on?” I was suddenly concerned. I had just spoken to him a few minutes before and he hadn’t sounded like that. Had something happened?“It’s Papa…”He sounded like he could barely get the words out. He sounded so distraught that I couldn’t find it in me to rush him to tell me what was going on with Papa.“What about him?”“He’s a the hospital. He was in a car accident. He’s in surgery. Chiara, I don’t know if he’s going to make it.”The news shook me but what shook me even more was how much I wasn't distraught over the information I had been given. I
