Mafia Kings: Valentino: Chapter 124

It was an awesome wedding.

It was an even better wedding reception.

We got married in Resuttano, but afterwards we went to the other side of Sicily, as far away from Don Vicari as we could get.

The old lady came through for us a second time, because three empty cars were waiting for us outside the chapel.

There was a piece of paper on the dash of one car, along with a handwritten note and a telephone number:

Call after you leave Sicily.

Lars and Rachel checked the cars out thoroughly for bombs, but after they were satisfied, we drove three hours and found a little village in the middle of nowhere.

We sat outdoors around a stone table, feasted on food from the only restaurant in town, and drank glass after glass of champagne.

Cat sat on my lap, her arm draped lovingly around my shoulders.

Everybody was happy –

Except for Niccolo.

He just sat back in his chair, frowning the entire time, a dark cloud over his head.

After we finished lunch, Dario said diplomatically to Isabella, “I’m assuming your days in Sicily have probably come to an end.”

“Yes, but that’s alright. Lu and I have lived our entire lives on one tiny patch of land. It’s time to see other places.”

“Well, you’re welcome to stay with us until you figure out where you’re going,” Alessandra offered.

Dario looked at his wife in surprise.

“Well?” Alessandra asked. “Isn’t she?”

“…yes,” Dario said, recovering with a polite smile. “We would be delighted to have you.”

“That’s very kind. Thank you.”

“Oh, so now we’re taking in strays,” Niccolo grumbled. “And in the middle of a war.”

“Niccolo,” Alessandra snapped.

Nic just drained his glass of champagne and didn’t say anything else.

“Do you have funds to travel?” Roberto asked Isabella.

“No, but I’m sure we’ll figure something out.”

“Let’s talk when we get back to Tuscany,” Roberto said. “We can provide you with something to get you started.”

“So now we’re giving money away after nearly going broke?” Niccolo spat.

“We’re flush with cash at the moment,” Roberto reprimanded him. “We can afford a wedding gift.”
