They All Planned My Death, I Wrote My Own Ending Chapter 10
They fought for three whole days over a patch of earth to bury me in.My family wanted me buried in our plot.Leo wanted to lay me to rest by the sea at Coney Island.Victor bought land on Long Island and said he'd build me a tomb of my own.Just like always, each of them was deciding for me.Until Luna brought out an old scrap of paper.It was a clinic slip I'd kept from the winter Bruno took me to a doctor for a cough.A few penciled lines on the back read, "If I ever get to leave New York, I want to live somewhere I can't hear the sea or the guns."I want a streetcar going past the door. A gray cat, and a little patch of mint."Back then, I was trapped at the estate and just jotted down a passing thought.No one could have guessed it would become the only record of my final wishes.My grave was dug in a little railroad town north of Westchester.Not in the family plot. Not beside Leo.Victor halted work on the tomb he'd planned.The headstone bore nothing but my name.Ada Costa.On

No one had changed the locks on that old apartment in Queens in three years.The old mailbox by the front gate had rusted shut, its slot stuffed with dead leaves.The moment the old doorman saw Leo, he sank down on the steps and cried for a long time."Every year, Ms. Costa had someone come and clean the mailbox."She said when you came home, she'd put both your nameplates up side by side herself."Leo stood in front of the mailbox all night and never went inside.The next day, he opened the locked leather trunk in the storage room.It was full of letters I'd written to him.The earliest was written seven days after he was "dumped at sea."I'd told him the mint in the corner of the yard was growing like crazy and waiting for him to come home and cut it.Even after the news of his death spread, I kept writing.I told him Ryan wouldn't let me wear red dresses anymore.My mother had taken away everything from our engagement.I also said that if the dead really had souls, he should come to

When Victor got back to the little house where I'd lived, dusk was creeping over the windowsills.The rooms were already empty.My books, pill bottles, and shawl had all been taken away. All that was left was a small pile of ash in the fireplace.The music box had burned down to half of its little steel comb.Victor crouched down and picked the gears out one by one.Vera stood in the hallway."What good does any of this do now, Don?"Victor didn't answer.Eyes red, she pressed on, "The music box was a lie. So was the shooting."Even your promise to marry her was just to keep her in line."Victor finally looked up."Who told you I wasn't planning to marry her?"Vera froze."Leo's already back. How could you possibly...""I was always going to marry her."But once the rats were caught, the elders wanted to restore Leo to his rightful place. They also needed Victor to shake the stigma of stealing another man's woman.Everyone told him that sending me away was the safest move.Victor agree

The day my coffin went back to Brooklyn, the front door stood wide open.This time, my mother didn't make me come in through the back alley.But Ryan wouldn't let the church ring its bells.He said the prosecutors were still deciding what to tell the press, and the family couldn't announce my death on its own.Luna planted herself on the steps and wouldn't let them carry the coffin inside."When she was alive, Mr. Costa was afraid of anyone seeing her."Now that she's dead, what's left to be afraid of?"Ryan's voice was grim."This involves all five families. It isn't one family's private business."Luna shot back, "Then which family is going to take responsibility for her?"Ryan was stunned into silence.My mother came out, crying."Ring the bells."Ryan looked at her."The second those bells ring, half of New York will know."My mother ran her hand over the coffin lid."The night she came home, I made her use the back alley."Now that she's dead, I won't let her slip away without a s

They didn't take me to the morgue.Victor carried me up to the bridal suite on the top floor of the main house, all decked out in red.Red silk still hung in the corners, and champagne still sat in the ice bucket. On the mantel lay a pair of wedding rings I'd never worn.Yesterday, this room had been waiting for a wedding.Today, the woman lying on the bed wasn't breathing.More than a dozen teams of doctors came through.One suggested open-chest compressions. Another suggested replacing my blood. Someone else wanted an autopsy right away to pin down the poison.Victor laid down one absolute order.No one was to touch a hair on my head, open the coffin, or test my blood.Leo stood outside the door all night, still wearing the suit meant for his promotion ceremony.Near dawn, he finally came in."I'm taking Ada home."Victor sat on the edge of the bed. His voice was ice-cold."After you came back alive, did you ever once let her walk through your front door?"Leo went pale."I was just

Victor was the first to sense something was wrong.Standing beside the coffin, he turned to Bruno."How long since the shot?""Not even 15 minutes."Victor nodded. His gaze dropped to my face, and suddenly he bent down and pressed his fingertips to my lips.They were far too pale.His expression darkened."Get the doctor."Ryan frowned and tried to stop him."Potassium chloride messes with your blood pressure. A little bleeding is normal."Victor whipped around and punched him so hard that Ryan flew back and slammed into the wall.Victor scooped me out of the coffin and threw me onto the wide leather sofa.Leo cut in, "The schedule's set, and the transport's already waiting at the back door. We can't have any complications!"Victor's head snapped around. Eyes bloodshot, he stared at Leo like he was looking at a dead man."She's throwing up black blood. Are you fucking blind?!"Only then did Leo notice the little glass bottle sitting untouched on the table.He flung open the syringe cas
