Chapter 10

作者: Fox C
On the afternoon Louis was executed, I bought a bouquet of white bellflowers and came to my mother's and brother's grave.

I looked at the new headstone and smiled.

"Mom, baby brother, do you like the new headstone I got you?"

I laid the flowers gently before the stone and stood for a long moment with my head bowed.

"I avenged you."

"Everyone who hurt you has gotten what they deserved..."

By then my voice had broken into sobs.

I sank to my knees before the cold, hard stone, pressed my forehead to

  • The Donna’s Revenge   Chapter 10

    On the afternoon Louis was executed, I bought a bouquet of white bellflowers and came to my mother's and brother's grave.I looked at the new headstone and smiled."Mom, baby brother, do you like the new headstone I got you?"I laid the flowers gently before the stone and stood for a long moment with my head bowed."I avenged you.""Everyone who hurt you has gotten what they deserved..."By then my voice had broken into sobs.I sank to my knees before the cold, hard stone, pressed my forehead to its rough surface, and finally broke down weeping.I cried and cried, as if to grind twenty years of grief and endless longing into the earth.For twenty years, all they saw was the Vanetti Donna's ruthless resolve. No one knew how, on that night of pouring rain, a helpless little girl had dragged her battered body inch by inch through the mud, crawling out of that hell that devoured people alive.To survive, I dug through garbage for moldy bread and was chased and bitten bloody by strays in da

  • The Donna’s Revenge   Chapter 9

    The day before the execution, Louis asked to see me.I brought the gift I'd carefully prepared for him and went to the private prison where the mafia held its most important prisoners.Just two days, and the once-mighty head of the Vitale family sat crumpled in the dark, damp cell like an old dog with all the fight drained out of him.When he saw me, a frantic light burst into his clouded eyes, the fervor of a dying man grabbing at a lifeline.He scrambled to the bars, his hands, dry as old bark, clutching the cold iron."Mirabelle, you came.""I know I was wrong. Can't you spare my life, for the sake of all the times I truly loved you when you were young? I... I don't want to die."I clenched my fists and looked at him without expression."You don't want to die. And my mother, did she?""Back then, she begged you and begged you, and still you had her beaten to death.""Louis Vitale, you're not human. My mother must have been blind. She never should have pulled you out of that fighting

    The moment Louis was taken, Jessica caught wind of it and got ready to run with Via.I was already waiting on the road they'd have to take.The instant she saw me, she tried to turn the car around.But I blew out her tire with a single shot.I walked up to her car with a smile and put another round through the engine.Then I pulled the door open and dragged her out.I looked down at her, the muzzle pressed to her chin."Now, it's time to settle the score between us."Jessica dropped to her knees and clung to my legs."Back then... I had no choice... if I hadn't done it... your father would have killed me.""What was I supposed to do... I had no choice but to do it... for twenty years I've lived in guilt every single day..."Listening to her, I pressed the muzzle straight against her head.Jessica was so terrified she wet herself on the spot."Don't you touch my mother!"Via came rushing over just then and threw herself in front of Jessica.I sneered and fired without hesitation.The bu

    I didn't answer him.Instead I asked, "Louis, twenty years ago you climbed to this seat over the bones of your wife and children. I wonder, have you slept easy in all the years since?"Louis stared at me, and then all at once he went pale and slumped into his chair."You... you're... no, it can't be..."I gave a cold snort and slowly straightened up.I had waited twenty years for this moment.I thought I would be calm.But when the truth finally came out, my body trembled all the same, and I couldn't stop it."Heads of the families, I know you all want Louis dead right now, but before he's judged, there's a personal debt I mean to settle with him."I took a deep breath. "I wonder if any of you remember the former Donna of the Vitale family. My mother, Selena Pavano.""Twenty years ago, my brother was barely a month old when Louis's wife Jessica threw him from an upper floor to his death. And my father, Louis, never bothered to learn the truth. He took Jessica at her word and had my mot

    The enforcer handed the stack respectfully to the Chairman.The moment the Chairman opened to the first page, his stern face went black as thunder.He raised his eyes coldly, his gaze cutting toward Louis like a knife.Louis caught the shift in the air at once, the smugness on his face slowly freezing over, replaced by unease.He gave a dry laugh and asked, testing the waters, "Chairman, what is it? Did this bitch's crimes turn out even worse than we thought?"Smack!The Chairman hurled the thick stack straight into Louis's face without mercy.The sharp edges of the paper sliced his cheek, drawing thin lines of blood."Take a good look at what you've done!" the Chairman thundered.Louis clutched his swelling face and scrambled to pick up the papers scattered across the floor.One glance, and his blood ran cold.Because it was all there, hard proof of every politician he'd secretly bribed over the past decade!Every transaction, every photo of every meeting, all of it damningly clear."

    The next day, I arrived as agreed.The heads of all the great families were already there.The moment I walked in, I saw Louis seated among them.Twenty years, and apart from looking a little older, he hadn't changed a bit.Noticing my gaze, he turned his eyes on me.The instant he saw me, I caught the faint furrow of his brow.But it smoothed over quickly, and he curled his lips at me in a smile.So he hadn't recognized me.Under his smug gaze, I walked slowly to the front and took my seat before them all.The head presiding over the table spoke to me."Mirabelle Vanetti, Louis Vitale has accused you of deliberately murdering the members of his family. Do you have anything to say in your defense?"Around the long table sat twenty mafia family heads, still as statues.The air was thick with cigar smoke and menace.Twenty-some pairs of hawk-sharp eyes bored into me, as if to tear me apart and swallow me whole.I looked around the room, my gaze finally settling on Louis's hypocritical fa
