GEMMA
I tap my fingertips against the limo’s armrest as we glide around a bend in
the coastal road that leads to my sister’s house. Glimpses of the
Mediterranean peek out from between the greenery lining the road, and
when the trees suddenly recede, I get treated to an open view of the sea
below. A vast expanse of azure stretches all the way toward the horizon,
shimmering with the afternoon sun.
My breath catches.
Cleo leans over me to get a closer look, practically pressing her nose
against the window.
“You’ve got to be shitting me,” she mutters, her voice dropping into the
well-practiced whisper we use when we don’t want our parents to hear our
conversations. They’re sitting just across from us, but we’ve perfected
keeping our communication private over the years. “Gem, is this place for
real? Look at that water. Just look at it.”
“I’m looking.”
“I’ve never seen water that shade of blue. I mean, in pictures, sure, but I just
assumed it was the filter.”
A smile tugs at my lips. This is the first time Cleo’s been outside of the
States, and her excitement is palpable.
She huffs a breath, making condensation appear on the glass. “I could
drown in it. In fact, I think I’d rather do that than go back to New York in a
week.”
And just like that, the smile melts off my face.
My younger sister has always been dramatic. I’m used to it, but we’re about
to spend a week around people who aren’t, and I can already imagine the
repercussions of her saying the wrong thing to the wrong person.
But Cleo doesn’t care about that.
“Consequences be damned” may as well be her life mantra.
She really outdid herself back in January, though. She was caught in bed
with a baby-faced pizza delivery boy from Brooklyn who clearly had no
idea who our family is.
That mistake probably cost him his life, although Papà’s neither confirmed
nor denied it.
It was a real scandal. The eighteen-year-old daughter of a New York City
don disgraced. Her maidenhead taken by a literal nobody. Papà had frothed
at the mouth, his anger so palpable that even his soldiers left for a long
smoke break outside. Mamma whisked Cleo away after Papà was done
screaming at her. I stayed behind in Papà’s office, and when he leveled his
heavy gaze on me, I knew that my fate was sealed.
The responsibility to save our family was now all mine.
His last eligible daughter.
