Mafia Kings: Valentino: Chapter 103

I didn’t go down to breakfast. I would have thrown up anything I tried to eat.

Nobody bothered me until 11 AM when a foot soldier knocked on my door. “The boss wants to see you in his study.”

I shuffled downstairs to see what the Devil had to say.

Don Vicari looked up at me angrily when I walked in –

But I guess the tuxedo took him by surprise.

“You’re already dressed,” he said, almost in wonder.

“Didn’t you hear? I’m getting married today.”

I meant it sarcastically… though it came out more depressed.

Vicari looked at me for a long while.

He must have decided I was finally broken because he didn’t push it further.

He just stood up behind his desk and said, “Your brothers will be here in a few minutes. Do you want to go meet them?”

“Why not,” I muttered.

Might as well go see the people I’d sacrificed the rest of my life for.


Our SUV was part of a fleet of black cars that drove to an airstrip several miles from the house.

I noticed the runway was in the exact opposite direction from the chapel.

I wished we could drive past it and keep on going forever.

No such luck.

The cars parked about 200 feet back from the airstrip.

Don Vicari and I sat in the back seat of the SUV.

Nobody spoke until we heard the low roar of an approaching plane.

“Here they come,” the driver announced.

I watched out the window as a passenger jet came in for a landing.

It was a brand new Gulfstream – completely unlike the outdated relic Nicolo and I had flown over in.

I started to get out of the SUV –
