The Don's 99 Betrayals
At the underground black market auction in New York, Lorenzo Moretti won a rare red diamond with a bid so high it made jaws drop.
The entire Commission was waiting for the other shoe to drop—waiting to see me become a joke.
Because in the Moretti family, every time Lorenzo gives away a diamond, it represents another one of his betrayals.
White diamonds are hush money to cover up tabloid scandals.
Blue diamonds mean he had a "slip-up" at some wild party.
Pink diamonds mean I caught him in his private apartment, rolling in the sheets with another woman with my own eyes.
But this time was different. It was a rare red diamond.
Everyone guessed the Don was preparing to divorce me.
Instead, Lorenzo publicly declared his love. He said this red diamond represented a "Blood Oath"—a symbol of his true heart and loyalty to me.
He said that from now on, he would return to the family and pledge his allegiance only to me.
Everyone congratulated me on finally taming the Sicilian Wolf.
I, however, left the signed divorce papers in the safe, and all alone, I left him forever.
