“Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.” The words left my lips and
instantly calmed me. It was ironic, I wasn’t exactly someone who
believed in life after death, heaven, hell, and all that jazz, and yet ever since I
was a child, I had stepped into a confessional every week, unburdening my
soul.
My mother was a devout Catholic and the one request she had made to my
father was that she had her own church, a family church and he had provided
it to her, no questions asked.
In those days, I think my father still loved her, and still cared about the
idea of family but it had been a simpler time then. His father was still the
head of the mafia and Alonso held far less responsibility.
“What burdens your mind this week?” Father D’angelo said softly,
bringing me back to the present.
I rubbed my fingers over the silver cross in my hand, the cross that had
once belonged to my mother. It was a delicate item, a rose woven around the
cross as a symbol of the Moretti line that my father had given to my mother
on the first night, he courted her.
When she died, it had been handed to me to remember her by. My mother
passed when I was still a young girl, but I never forgot her, this weekly ritual
was my way of keeping her memory alive.
She wasn’t the wife of Alonso but his mistress, and that made me a bastard
in the eyes of the Moretti successors. Yet I knew he loved her, perhaps more
than his wife.
She had been with him almost as long as he was married, a controversial
mistress like the days of old royalty, and some part of me still carried that
shame.
My mother saw herself in the eyes of Mary Magdalene and looked at my
father like he was Jesus himself, seeing it as her place to worship him for his
greatness and never questioning her position at his side.
“I had immoral thoughts about another man. Lust for a man who was older
than me and saw only his body and what it could provide me.” I whispered
and Father D’angelo swallowed, clearing his throat.
“And what did you think it could provide you?” He asked and I glanced
through the partition to see his silhouette. He was a strong man, with a welldefined jaw that held a hint of stubble and I was ashamed to say, he was my
first crush as a girl.
He was fifteen years my senior, yet he barely looked forty-five. I knew he
had made vows of celibacy when he became a priest and he had never strayed
from them in the ten years I had known him.
“I imagined his hands touching my naked body, bringing me to the height
of pleasure whilst I touched him.” It was a dangerous game, a game I had
started long ago with him, telling him my fantasies.
