Mafia Kings: Valentino: Chapter 113

The priest started reading Bible verses. All about God making man in his image, then creating woman…

There was other stuff, but I tuned it out.

All I could think about was Cat and how I could’ve married her back home.

About how she knew I’d said ‘no’ when Dario offered me a chance…

And how that must have broken her heart.

But she still stuck by me.

But Massimo was alive. He was right behind me.

Lars was alive, too.
