Mafia Kings: Valentino: Chapter 96

When I called her, Alessandra told me everything.

She didn’t mention anything about a dead body, though. I didn’t want to say anything for fear of the phone being tapped, so I assumed Val had gotten away with it.

“When am I going to be able to see him again?” I asked.

“I don’t know, Cat. I got the feeling it might be a while. But as soon as I hear anything, I’ll let you know immediately.”

I wanted to scream, But you don’t understand!

He’s going to get married in just a few days, and I might never see him again after that!

What made it worse was that – for the first time – I actually knew and believed he was going to get married.

Because I’d seen his bride.

Instead, I just whispered, “Okay.”

“Don’t give up hope, Cat,” Alessandra pleaded.

But I already had.

Not of seeing him again –

But of getting to keep him.


I didn’t venture out of the room once while I was in Marsala. I just ate room service and watched TV.

Every few hours, I would text Alessandra:

And every time, it was the same reply:
