Mafia Kings: Valentino: Chapter 102

After the chapel, I ran back to my room at the bed and breakfast. I sobbed openly in the streets.

People looked at me in concern as I passed, but I hid my face and ignored them.

As soon as I was back in my room, I texted Alessandra.

I did it. It’s over.

She immediately called, and we cried together.

I told her everything Valentino had said –

Including the part about Isabella.

“She’s GAY?!” Alessandra gasped.

“Yes.”

“Maybe that’s grounds for stopping the wedding!”

I thought about how nice Isabella had been when I met her in Ortigia…

And realized that if she was hiding it from her family, there was probably a damn good reason.

“Would she be in danger from her father if he knew?” I asked.

Alessandra paused. “…yes. She probably would.”

I remembered what Valentino had said about Don Vicari.

Her father’s a fucking psychopath, and yesterday I saw what he did to somebody who crossed him. It wasn’t pretty. In fact, it was pretty fucking horrible.

“No,” I murmured. “Forget about it. Besides, it’s over.”

“Are you going to be okay?”

“…yes.”

I paused.

“No. I don’t know,” I whispered.

And it was true.

I had no idea if I would ever be alright again.

It sure as hell didn’t feel like it.
