In the Valenti Family, you're born with a chip. It's fused into the bio-watch on your wrist, its digital face counting down every second you have left to live. Everyone could see the numbers ticking down on my twin sister's watch. And on mine. They all knew she would die on our 18th birthday. So Vivian became the untouchable princess of our brutal world. Every diamond-stitched gown was hers. The rarest jewels were hers. Even our father's last shred of humanity was hers. That single sliver of warmth he showed only after his gun was holstered. I used to pity her. Her time was running out. But God, I envied her. She had everything I never did: our parents' love. Then, the night of her 18th birthday party. My parents worried I'd make a scene. That I'd piss off the Don of an allied Family. So they locked me in the cellar. Damp. Cold. While a deadly fever burned through me. I pounded on the heavy oak door, my voice cracking. "Mamma, please! Let me out! I'm burning up. My head is splitting open…" Outside, my mother's voice was a steel trap. "Enough, Sienna! Today is your sister’s 18th birthday. Her last day alive! Stop the theatrics! Can't you suffer in silence for the Family's honor?" "But I'm really sick..." Her footsteps clicked away, fading into nothing. Then the darkness swallowed me whole. And on my wrist, the bio-watch was flashing a critical alert. CRITICAL ALERT: Vital signs mismatch. Paired chip data incompatible. Please verify user.

The Forgotten Sister’s Last Night Chapter 9
The SUV entered the heavily guarded private vineyard.There was no New York mob noise here. No cold-blooded calculations. Just the peace of the early morning.Grandma went to the fireplace and lit the dry wood with a match.The warm, golden light flickered, slowly chasing away the chill of the morgue.Grandma walked back to the table.She placed the heavy urn squarely in the center of the long table in the living room.Then, she lit three white prayer candles.The flames danced.Grandma closed her eyes and slowly made the sign of the cross over her chest.It was the Family's oldest, most sacred farewell ritual.I floated in the air, watching it all.Suddenly, Grandma's eyes opened.Her cloudy but sharp eyes looked directly at where I was floating."Sienna."Her voice was hoarse, thick with unshed tears. "Nonna can see you."I felt a jolt.In that instant, eighteen years of pain, suffering, and bitterness broke through.I burst into tears."Nonna Caterina!"I cried out and rushed toward

The guards pulled my screaming, desperate father away.By tradition, every core member of the Valenti Family was buried in the lavish family mausoleum.But Grandma refused."Her ashes will not be tainted by this house of lies and ambition."With an iron will, she broke a century of family tradition.She demanded a private cremation.There was no grand, showy funeral.No fake-mourning allied bosses paying their respects.Grandma had only one thing prepared: a pure white, custom-made silk gown. It was the 18th birthday present she'd had made for me.In the cold morgue, Grandma drew a basin of water and gently washed the grime from my face.With her own hands, she dressed me in that flawless white gown.The door was thrown open.Mamma Valeria stumbled in. Her hands were covered in blood, her eyes filled with a crazed plea."Mamma, let me... please, let me put on Sienna's shoes..."Mamma fell before the gurney, her trembling hands reaching for my ankles.Click.Grandma didn't even look up.

The howling in the great hall was deafening.The cries leaked through the heavy doors, attracting the wives of a few lesser bosses, men who depended on the Valenti family.They had come for the party.Now they stood at the entrance, their eyes traveling over the wreckage to the body in Grandma's arms."My God..."A woman in a red dress, holding a glass of champagne, covered her mouth.But her voice was sharp, dripping with a cruel sort of humor."Well, look at this. A little mix-up in the Valenti succession. The dying girl lives, and the living girl dies."She let out a little chuckle, raising her champagne flute. "Seems even God gets the twins confused."The air went still.Mamma Valeria slowly turned her head.The tear tracks were still on her face, but the despair in her eyes had hardened into the madness of a mob boss's wife.Click.The crisp sound of metal.Mamma ripped the gun from her waistband, racked the slide, and lunged. She grabbed a fistful of blonde hair and slammed the w

The noon sun streamed through the stained-glass windows, casting colorful patterns on the floor.The estate was unnaturally quiet.The heat was cranked to the max. Waves of hot air poured from the vents.But I knew. No amount of heat could warm that body.The door to Vivian's room slammed open.She ran out, barefoot, pulling away from my mother, whose eyes were red and swollen. She ran for the living room."Get out of my way! I have to see Sienna!"She stumbled down the spiral staircase, her footsteps echoing in the empty hall.Then she stopped.In the middle of the room, Don Marcello Valenti, the man who once made the New York underworld tremble, was sitting on the cold floor.He was holding me.His suit jacket was open, wrapped carefully around my body.I was limp against his chest, my head tilted, my long hair falling around me.His hands, calloused from years of holding a gun, were now clumsily rubbing my stiff fingers. Over and over again."Almost there… almost warm…"He cooed, hi

My mother's face changed in an instant."She's... at the riding club," she said, avoiding Grandma's gaze, looking down at her dress.Grandma didn't say a word. She just stared at her, cold."The riding club?""I'll go get her.""Valeria!"Mamma stood up quickly, her voice shaky. "Sienna is... throwi

"Sienna."He spoke softly to the door. "Papa brought you some chocolate. Have something sweet. Stop being mad at us."I floated in front of him, crouching down to look at him.His eyes were so red. The lines around them were deeper than last year. There was gray in his hair now.He was only forty-fi

The smell of cellar mold brought the memories flooding back.When I was younger, I think I hated Vivian even more.The Family hired the best 24/7 medical team. It was for Vivian.The one family heirloom necklace. It went to Vivian.New cars arrived. Vivian always got the first ride. I was shoved in
