I found Angelica in the alley behind Gusto’s. She was half naked, her panties around her ankles, still drunk, and clutching a stupid plastic crown. "No more," she grunted when I crouched next to her. "My pussy's all raw and shit... but you were wonderful baby." She turned her head to look at me. "What's your name again?"

I wanted to throttle her right there and then, but I picked her up anyway and carried her to my SUV.

I took my sister to the hotel where Madeleine and I would spend the night before we left for the mountains. I cleaned Angelica up as well as I could, had Doc DiMaggia come by to place a banana bag, and then waited for her to sober up so I could give her my final ultimatum.

When she was semi-coherent, I dragged her from the couch over to the dining room table, banana bag and all, and sat her down to have one last conversation with her.

“This is the last time,” I said, using the same tone I’d usually reserve for someone who was about to die. “I’m sorry your life i

  • Innocence Interrupted - A Mafia Story   Chapter 123

    RafaelI sat in my office, elbows on my desk, head cradled in my hands, the sonogram picture in front of me. The tears came quickly and easily then.Madeleine was quiet the whole way home. She just stared out of the window, soft tears rolling down her face.I opened my mouth several times to say something to her, but all my words would have fallen short. I had no words. Nothing I could say to comfort her. But she did. Her words landed like a gut punch. “How many of our sons will die?”“None of them,” I answer through clenched teeth.Her belly was just starting to show, but she folded her arms protectively over the little bump and turned away from me - as if she feared I’d be the one who’d take him from her.Frankie walked in. Maybe he knocked, maybe he didn’t. I couldn’t remember.I glanced up, and all I could say was, “It’s a boy.”It wasn’t good news. I so wanted a son. I should have been jubilant, but all I could see was a police officer standing at the door, telling Madeleine tha

    RafaelThe lights are low. Madeleine is sleeping peacefully in her hospital bed. Hand tucked under her head, arms still over her belly as if she’s not aware that the baby who used to be there is on the outside now.Everything happened so fast. We barely made it to the hospital. Madeleine had the baby in the parking lot. A midwife made it outside just in time to catch him, rudely shoving me out of the way.I was relieved. I can handle blood and guts, but seeing my wife hold on to the car, unable to move, watching the blood drip down her legs, was more than I could handle.With two grunts, Madeleine pushed our son into the world. The nurse handed him to her, still attached to the cord. And like the warrior queen she is, my wife walked into the hospital, cradling our son close to her chest, growling at everyone who tried to take him from her.I lean over the bassinet and pick my tiny son up. All five pounds and 5 ounces of him. He wasn’t quite done cooking yet, but he’s healthy and stron

    MadeleineI could finally relax. The danger had passed. Rafael assured me again and again that all his enemies were neutralised - his words, not mine.Slowly, but surely, the past started to slip away, as it always does, and I started to relax. Started to believe that we were finally safe.The months pass in a beautiful haze of excitement and joy.Everything just clicked into place. The pregnancy is easy, Betsy has settled down, and some days I forget what she used to be like before. Before Rafael found me, and before he took us. The before, when I worked in a dingy casino, surrounded by cigarette smoke and despair. The before, when our future was so uncertain.It’s all in the distant past now. I found a life and a future with the most unlikely man imaginable. The kind of person I used to despise.Some mornings, when he joins us for breakfast, I’ll look at him, and can’t believe my own damn luck. We’ve settled into a kind of domestic bliss. Rafael is here when I leave in the morning

    RafaelElliot said the world would end with a whimper, not a bang. That is how my war with Sforza ended. Quietly. The guns fell silent.And like the eery quiet on the Western Front, when the last of the guns fired their shots, so my life settled into the same, uncomfortable silence.For a while, I followed the headlines like my life depended on it. Because it did. Mine and Madeleine’s did. They discovered the bodies on the dirt road, but the investigation was swift and superficial. The police declared that it was an altercation between the gangsters, and couldn't be arsed to look deeper.I think they were just glad to be rid of Rossi and his crew. As much as the honest police officers in this town hate me, they hated Rossi even more.Sforza’s death was declared natural. Sepsis due to food poisoning. I kept waiting, holding my breath, for the police to show up at my door, for the cartel to show up and hack my family to pieces. But Mitchell heeded my warning, and Harris took early reti

    MadeleineThe bright sunlight stabs at my eyes, and I have to blink a few times to adjust. The air is different here. Fresher somehow. More open.“Now what?” I ask.“We go home.”“It’s over?”“Yes.”I look over my shoulder into the diner, at Sforza who is still sitting in the booth, finishing his pie. “What about him? What if he survives and comes for us again?”“He won’t, Madeleine. There is no way he can survive.”“Can’t we at least take him to a hospital so he won’t… suffer.”A smile flickers across Rafael’s face. “Good. After what happened with Rossi, I was worried.”I turn my attention back to him and look up at his handsome face. I never get tired of watching him. “Why?”He shrugs. “That kind of thing… it changes a person. On a fundamental level. It makes me happy to see that you still have compassion.”We start to wander back to the house. We didn’t touch our food, and I didn’t take one sip of my tea. I’m thirsty and I’m hungry, but mostly I’m in a state of utter disbelief. It f

    MadeleineThe man in the corner suddenly looks sinister and grotesque. When we entered, I thought he looked like someone’s dad, maybe passing through on his way somewhere else. He didn’t appear to be a threat. He looked so… normal.What are we going to do? If he’s like Rafael, he didn’t come here alone. And Frankie is at home, all alone and with no idea what’s going on.My legs are wobbly, and my palms are extra sweaty. I regret leaving my gun at home, but Rafael always carries his - even when we’re just sitting in the living room talking, he has his gun with him.My husband slides in next to Sforza and takes the seat opposite him. I have no idea what Rafael has planned, but every nerve is on fire. I can barely breathe, let alone think.No one says a word while we wait for the waitress to place our menus in front of us. The food all looks like it originates from the sixties, and so do the menus with their faded pictures and sticky plastic coverings.“What would you like to drink?”I
