LUCIA
It’s turning out to be a very bad night. But that’s what life is like in my
world. There were many nights my mother waited up late for my father
to return, concerned that he’d been killed. Of course, I secretly hoped he
had been killed. Maybe Elena and I would be able to get away from the
Mafia and live like regular people.
I’d come so close to leaving years ago. I’d met a man who wasn’t in our
world and fell in love. Dylan knew who I was, or more accurately, who my
father was, and he still promised to take me away. Sometimes, I think about
him and what would have happened had my father not found out about him.
The night my father made him kneel in front of me and shot him in the head
is seared into my brain. I didn’t have time to grieve as my father called me a
whore and put me on a plane heading to Italy to marry Don Giuseppe Conti.
I was terrified, forced away from my sister, sent to a family I’d never met,
speaking a language I didn’t know that well.
Luckily for me, Giuseppe, while he could be lethal, was kind to me. In
some ways, Niko reminds me of him, except that Giuseppe was ill for all of
our marriage. Earlier tonight, I received a call to tell me Giuseppe’s illness
finally caught up with him and he died. I’m sad about that. He was good to
me, and I feel fortunate that his son, Luca, is as well.
Despite my loss, I’m more worried about my sister, Elena. She’s fallen
for the man who kidnapped her and is pregnant with his twins. In the real
world, this might be good news. In our world, it could be the death of her.
Because of that, I’m glad that Luca has suggested that I stay in New York
while he deals with the power plays about to come due to his father’s death.
It’s late, past midnight, but I find Elena sitting in the living room,
wallowing in her sadness that Niko doesn’t want the babies and is planning
to send her away.
“You should rest,” I say, sitting next to her on the couch. We’ve had a
long day, her worse than me after a car accident set up by my father, his
men kidnapping us and in her case, my father handing her over to Romeo
Abate, the man my father gave her as payment for a debt. I don’t know how
she did it, but she killed Romeo. I know that has to weigh on her. Elena is a
sweet, innocent young woman who shouldn’t have to have killed anyone.
“I can’t.”
I hate how sad she is. “If he succeeds, maybe he’ll change his mind.” I
hold her hand, trying to comfort her.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” She leans on my shoulder. “I should be
asking about you. How are you holding up?”
