The crowd dwindles as people start dispersing. The funeral having come to an end. Some of the older men pulled Angelo to the side, no doubt giving him advice on how to be a successful boss. They mourned papa that first day, throughout the night but after that, they were back to normal. Drinking and laughing as if it was a party and not a funeral. Some of my distant aunts shed a few tears but there was no commotion. I chalked down their attitude to seeing too many deaths. I'm guessing people in Cosa nostra have gotten used to death. So much so that they aren't bothered by papa's passing. I'm the only one overreacting. For the hundredth time, I look around. Trying to catch a glimpse of him. He's not here. He wouldn't show up but a small part of me hopes he does. One hug. That's all I want today. For him to hold me and assure me everything will be alright. I want him to hide me while I cry because no one seems fazed by this. They all seem to be put together, ea

The plates were empty. Leo says he didn't know what she was planning but I find that hard to believe. He was here the entire time she set up empty plates. Even if she didn't tell him, he must have suspected something was not right. Because he didn't bother telling me, he's just as guilty as she is. Besides, they tell each other everything. I'm not buying anything Leo says. You'd think I'd be happy about Vito's demise but all I feel is dread. Seeing Emiliana's face before she left made me realize that I wouldn't have gone through with it. I can't stand seeing her in pain. Another loud crash echoes around the house. Lifting my glass, I take a sip of the amber liquid. It's been hours since everything went down and Leo is destroying things upstairs in the name of mourning our mother. I wonder what she was thinking. What did she expect would happen after she shot Vito? Did she think she could get away with it? If she'd talked to me, I would have told her not to underestimate Aida. But as

(She's not your real mother) I let the words play in my head over and over again. The moment Leo says them, I know he's not saying that to piss me off or hurt me. It's the truth. I don't want it to be but it is. Everything she did would make sense if she was not my mother. Walking away from me, not caring about what happened, the shocked expression on her face when I showed up at her doorstep. She thought I was dead. It makes so much sense that she just continued living her life without a care in the world. But I have to be a hundred percent sure first. So I request a DNA test. Then find a way to make time fly before I get the results. The lab told me they'd be out in a day. How many hours are there in a day anyway? I can't believe I never suspected it. Not even once. Emiliana told me she was could try and get along with her for my sake. Because she loves me. I think a mother would have made the same effort. The fact that Gisella didn't care about it should

"Javier" "Yes sir?" "Go dark and wait for my instructions" "Yes sir" The problem with Cecilio is that he doesn't know when to attack. He's reckless. Something that will get him killed today. If he'd stopped to think, he'd know the mansion was the worst place to corner me. Unlike him, I waited for years before going after Romeo. I dismantled everything he'd built, sent in my men to work undercover while the ones he'd hired happened to die during an operation. I double-checked my moves, collected intel, and came up with plans B's and C's. By the time I walked into that church, the only thing I hadn't accomplished was finding my father's ring. If I'd wanted to take him out at any moment, I could have done it. Because I planned meticulously. But this moron? He couldn't even wait for a year before showing up here. He didn't even bother to scout this place before coming. I built this house and installed cameras in every corner. There's a basement where we keep prisoners sometimes o

"Are you sure about this?" Elena asks for the hundredth time. I nod even though I'm not sure about anything. "Yes. She needs this and me" "What about Dante?" "What about him?" "Aren't you going to say goodbye to him?" I think back to this morning when I went to the mansion. I thought he'd be at the penthouse since he told me he went there whenever he wanted to be alone. After Gisella's death, it would be normal if he wanted to stay at the penthouse. But he wasn't there. So I went to the mansion, wanting to talk to him before I left. The house was clean except for the empty liquor bottles lying about in the kitchen. When I went upstairs, I found him in bed. With Talia. The young beautiful housekeeper. My first thought was that he was an asshole. We both lost a parent and instead of comforting each other, he was drinking and fucking the help. I stormed out of there feeling angry and betrayed. A part of me wanted to burn the house down with them in it. But after driving around

A year later "You didn't have to come. I can handle this""I do not doubt that," Giulia says checking her gun even though we're both aware that there's nothing to check. She's done it twice already. We also agreed that there was no need to bring weapons to this mission because we wouldn't need them. We're only going to pick Anila up and take her to an apartment where she'll stay for two days before leaving the country. But Giulia isn't the type to follow rules. And truth be told, neither am I. Since I have my gun tucked in my bra holster "I'm only here to make sure there's no repeat of what happened with the Nichols""It was one time and we had it under control. Right, Constanza?""What she said" Constanza murmurs, her eyes still closed. The corner of my mouth lifts in a sneer. I'm still not over the fact that she didn't tell me she was working for my mother. I thought we were friends. Clearly, I thought wrong."You exposed yourselves""We improvised, jeez. When

The mattress dips as someone sits beside me. The second we arrived, I forbade anyone from coming to my room because I was exhausted and wanted to sleep. That was hours ago. I've been awake for a little over ten minutes and scrolling through the internet, looking for news about Dante. He's not on social media so this is the only way I can find out what he's been up to. For the past fifteen months, I forbade myself from looking him up in case I missed him too much and decided to abandon Mama. The moment we left, she threw herself into work. Spending hours showing me the ropes and training me to take over her position. She pretended that everything was fine. But there were times I caught her crying when she thought I was asleep. It made me realize that I'd made the right decision by choosing her. I couldn't let myself think about Dante. Now? I want to know everything he's been up to. Outside the Mafioso, he's known as a businessman who buys and invests in profitable companies. He has a

I'm trying hard to concentrate on the food in front of me and the woman sitting opposite me but all I want to do is follow Emiliana and ask her where she's going dressed like that. I had no idea she'd gotten back or I would have dragged her out of the Calderone mansion and asked her to explain why she left. By the time I was done with Cecilio, she was long gone. I checked the footage and Talia come in. She looked at the mess in the kitchen and was in the middle of cleaning it when Emiliana arrived. I don't know what she was thinking -since I fired her right after- but she undressed and got in bed with me. Anyone who saw us would have thought we spent the night together. I know what she thought and I wish she had given me the chance to explain instead of jumping to conclusions. I looked everywhere for her but Aida is good at covering her tracks. There wasn't a single clue as to where they had gone or when they would be back. I damn near lost my mind trying to find her. Then suddenly, s
