MAFIA BRIDE CHAPTER 141: A MESSAGE TO MEXICO
"Luca, wait," Isabella said, shifting Matteo against her shoulder, her voice rough and quiet in the echoing vault.He did not lower the rifle. The barrel rested against the black feathers at the back of El Cuervo's skull, and Luca's finger lay curled on the trigger, white to the knuckle. Below him the great ruined body had stopped crawling. A ringed hand lay stretched out on the flagstones, three inches short of the machete."*Mátame,*" El Cuervo whispered, with his cheek pressed to the cold floor and spit running from his gold-toothed mouth. "*Por favor, hijo, hazlo. Mátame.*""He hanged twelve of my men from cranes, Bella," Luca said, without turning his head, and his voice shook. "Gino taught Paulo to drive. Marco stood in front of a gun with his head up. This man laughed.""I know what he did." She stepped closer, with her bloodied rags and her torn apron and her son's small fist clutched in her collar. "I watched it. I want you to listen to me for one minute, and then you may do
MAFIA BRIDE CHAPTER 140: LUCA ARRIVES
Luca had woken to a ring on his pillow, and he had not stopped running since.He had sat bolt upright on the straw cot in the gray half-light, with his mother's thin gold band pressed into his palm, and he had known before he looked at the empty bed across the cell. Carla Benedetti's screen had gone dark at eleven minutes past four. Leone had stood in the doorway with his hat in his hands and told him the rest. A cook's cap, a gray wig, and a bakery cart. Luca had not shouted. He had put the ring on his finger beside his own, snatched up his rifle, and gone out into the dawn.Now twelve black vans ground up the last switchback toward Villa Corvo with their headlights blazing and every window rolled down. Leone's eight Carabinieri rode on the running boards. Black smoke boiled up ahead of them from behind the old stables, and a sullen red glow lit its underside."The bell stopped, Don Luca," Leone said grimly from the seat beside him, gripping the dashboard as the van lurched over a ru
MAFIA BRIDE CHAPTER 139: EL CUERVO FALLS
For one second, nobody moved. El Cuervo stood at the foot of the stair with the machete raised over his head and the candlelight rolling along its curved blade. His round soft face had gone slack, and the gold smile hung open. His small black eyes were fixed on the pit, on the white shirt lying in the dirt and the crushed lily and the thin silver head turned sideways against the red earth. A tremor ran through his huge body. "*Viejo,*" he whispered, in a voice like a child's. "*No. No, no, no.*" "He is dead," Isabella said, lifting the pistol with both burned hands, though her fingers screamed. "Drop the knife, señor, and walk back up the stairs." He turned his head slowly and looked at her. The grief drained out of his face, and what replaced it was worse. He smiled, and the gold flashed in the candlelight, and he began to laugh, low and wet, shaking the black feathers of his coat. "You killed my friend," El Cuervo said, in thick, slow Italian, "and I am going to feed you yo
MAFIA BRIDE CHAPTER 138: AGENT OF CHAOS
Isabella did not turn around at once.She lay on the cold flagstones with her son pressed against her breast and her burned palms leaving red smears on his blanket. Behind her, the cane tapped again, slow and patient, a step nearer. A faint scent drifted down to her over the smell of wax and wet earth, warm and dark and old, leather and citrus. She shut her eyes and drew one long breath."Do not trouble to stand, my dear," Nico said pleasantly. "You have had a very strenuous morning."She rolled onto her side, then onto her knees, with Matteo clutched in the crook of her good arm, and rose slowly to her feet. The candles blazed around the chamber in their ring. She turned.He stood at the foot of the spiral stair in a perfect black suit, with a silver-headed cane resting under one gloved hand and a white lily pinned to his lapel. His silver hair was brushed back from his high forehead. He did not look like a man who had risen from a grave. He looked like a gentleman who had stepped in
MAFIA BRIDE CHAPTER 137: THE GRAVE
The bell on the northwest tower tolled like the end of the world, and the whole loft shook with it.Isabella was on her feet before the second stroke. She tore the gray wig from her head and flung it down the stair, and her own dark hair fell loose around her shoulders. Gerald caught her wrist at the top of the steps, his thin face pale in the slit of dawn light."The sentry on the tower saw them fall," Gerald said, gripping her arm hard, "and every man who did not eat will come running to this kitchen.""Then they must not find me here," Isabella answered, pulling her apron strings loose with shaking fingers, and a hot breath of fear caught in her throat."They will not." He pulled a small brass oil lamp off its nail on the wall and shook it, and the oil sloshed inside. "The stables are full of dry hay, and nineteen horses are tied in them. A fire will send every living guard in this house the wrong way.""Gerald, they will kill you.""I have been dead for three years, little cousin,
MAFIA BRIDE CHAPTER 136: POISON IN THE POT
Aurelio opened his mouth to call the guards, and Isabella hit him with the ladle before the first syllable left it.The heavy copper bowl swung round in a flat arc and caught him across the bridge of the nose with a wet crack. His head snapped back, and the white-gloved fingers let go of her wrist. He reeled against the table with both hands clapped to his face, and blood poured between them in bright ropes. He gasped for breath to scream. Isabella seized him by the front of his spotless coat and drove her knee into his belly, and the sound died in a wheeze."Do not make a noise, signore," she whispered, in her own voice, low and cold, dragging him upright by the collar, "or I will break something that does not mend.""Madonna santa," Nunzia breathed from the range, with flour to her elbows and her hands frozen in the dough."Where is the cold room?" Isabella demanded, hauling the old man across the flagstones. He weighed no more than a bundle of kindling, and he kicked weakly at her
MAFIA BRIDE Chapter 22: Damage Control.
The hotel room door clicked shut behind Isabella, locking out the hallway noise and the memory of the police station with it. She didn’t waste any time in kicking her heels aside, taking off her clothes, and heading straight into the bathroom. She needed water and silence, and she needed a moment w

Dante Romano was in his office, casually sipping red wine with a rare smile on his lips. The cigar he had just finished lay in a silver ash tray in front of him, letting out small wisps of smoke.Lucho Vestari, one of his most trusted enforcers, was standing on the other side of the office, watchin

Isabella pulled into the quiet parking lot of the private medical center. She turned off the engine of her car, and then rested her forehead briefly on the steering wheel. She was always nervous anytime she had her doctor's appointment…a mixture of fear and hope, and then the constant worry she alw

The next morning, Isabella woke up tired but with a smile. She was still thinking about the previous night with her ex fiance, Dante. His familiar voice, the comfort of his presence, and the warmth in his smile. It was like finding a long forgotten part of herself again, a part lost when everything
