Semua Bab His Don His Damnation : Bab 11 - Bab 20

PELLA has told KY a thousand times why stealing two dresses simultaneously is dumb because it doubles the chances of being caught. But KY does not see it in that fashion. And that has always been the way KY operate, so that KY have a dress to place in KY's rainy-day fund and a dress to sell for the homeless women's shelter. KY realize that shoplifting and donating half of the proceeds to a charity is nowhere near sufficient to forgive KY for KY's wrongdoing, but KY simply feel KY need to do something to help those families out there, considering how KY's family ended up at one of those shelters. KY still remember what it's like arriving at the shelter with KY's mom and siblings when we were left with nothing after KY's dad died. The feeling of desperation everywhere and fear of what the future is. KY know KY's means and reasons are completely screwed up, just like everything else in KY's life. Somewhere along the way, KY'm going to devise a workable system for helping out the shelter.

"Have you heard.""If it's slipped you by, VINCENT DANZA, ISAAC hasn't exactly been spotted around lately. And when ISAAC'm around, ISAAC'm not exactly in the business of listening to gossip. So, what the bloody hell are you going on about?""You know, the Little Miss Light Fingers affair.""The what?""The shoplifting," he says.ISAAC raises an eyebrow in question.He shrugs. "She has a thing about nicking things."ISAAC remembers the image of those dresses with security tags in her closet, but ISAAC wonders if there is something more to it. "What kind of stuff exactly?""Girly stuff and that kind of crap."For a moment, ISAAC is not sure if he is totally serious, and then ISAAC erupts in a fit of laughter."Happy you think it fucking so fucking funny, ISAAC. But we do not need any unwanted attention from the police."ISAAC finally manages to stop ISAAC's laughter. "We're into drug running, money laundering, and murder, and you're worried about some girl stealing a few pink bows to p

"Hey, KY." KY springs because KY has heard a voice at the back of KY. It is LYDIA's. The KASH MANCHESTER is now fuller than anticipated. "You didn't tell me that your boyfriend's mom was having a private gathering here today.""Didn't I?" KY whispers softly. KY checks the time on KY's watch and darts back behind the bar and clocks in, hoping KY does not look as rattled as KY is feeling. This is not how KY'd planned KY's shift to go.Later, KY's heart sinks when KY sees TENZ JER'SEY's ma approach the bar to order a second glass of champagne."I'll serve her," LYDIA murmurs, and KY flashes her a grateful smile.Even though KY's hands are clean, KY goes to the small basin at the rear of the bar and washes. It's no secret that his ma doesn't like KY. Emotions swirl within KY as everything she said earlier reruns through KY's mind. KY washes KY's hands again and again, trying to let the ritual soothe KY. The polish on KY's thumb starts to come off at the edges, and shaking head, KY tells K

He still hasn't actually said the words, I'm sorry. Actually, his apology should've come yesterday—when he should've given KY a heads up about what was going to happen at the party. But he never did that. Instead, he just let KY find out along with the rest of the KASH MANCHESTER, as if KY meant nothing to him.Look, KY. Maybe you're not cut out to be a wife to somebody like me.""And what is that supposed to mean?"He waves his hand at KY. "Well, you know. ""Just say it, TENZ JER'SEY." KY has no clue what he's trying to get at."Well, you know, my ma says mafia wives have to keep up appearances.""Like?""Come on, KY. You know you've let yourself go a little recently.""Let myself go?"Yeah, with your…weight and all."KY's eyes widen, and KY's face turns red. KY've gained a bit of weight over the last couple of months, and KY's curves are rounder than usual. That's no offense. But KY'm so surprised for a second that KY can't get an answer out.My ma thinks it's a bad sign. 'Cause if

ISAAC grunts in dismissal and then looks at the messages on ISAAC's phone. ISAAC doesn't wish to speak to him.And as forecasted, after a few minutes, Domenico becomes annoyed waiting for KYOLINE DIEGO to finalize ISAAC's order. "See you around, KYOLINE DIEGO," he yells with the flick of the hand. Men like that bore quickly when they're no longer being serviced.She nods to him before she proceeds with ISAAC's instruction.ISAAC doesn't know why, but KYOLINE DIEGO is a mystery to ISAAC, and her vagueness is entirely maddening. She's a riddle. ISAAC wants to know everything single thing that goes through her mind, every conceivable reason behind every one of her actions, and every single little detail that gets her heart beating.While ISAAC waits, ISAAC's eyes land on the vase of red roses on the top of the bar. ISAAC's fingers dance with the desire to tear out the petals. Red roses, soft petal tops, stinging thorns…She places ISAAC's drink in front of ISAAC, shaking ISAAC out of ISA
