“It’s your mother.”
“Patti, what do you want?”
“I got a call from Sergio that the meeting was canceled, and I think I have you to blame for that.”
“Patti, not now,” I said with a sigh.
“I know you might not be interested in seeing me, Sam, but Sergio and Santino were, and your dad was.And I get it that I hurt you.”
“Patti, you left us.Stop calling me.”
“Have some respect.I am your mother.”
“You might be my mother, but you’ve never acted like one.”
The phone was silent.“I’m going to get your dad back.You know that, right, Sam?”
I didn’t respond.
“And when I do, that means I’m going to be in your life unless you decide you no longer want to see your father again.”
I still didn’t say anything.
“And I’m going to get back into Sergio’s and Santino’s and Stefano’s lives as well.Do you really want to cause a rift in the family?”
“I think you already did that,” I said finally.“You’re not welcome around here, Patti.”
She let out a light laugh.“But that’s where you’re wrong, Sam.You see, there are many things you don’t know about your relationship.There are many things you don’t know about my relationship with your father.In fact, there are many things you don’t know about your father.”
“And what’s that supposed to mean?What don’t I know about Lorenzo Valenti?”
She started laughing again.“You see, Sam?Already you’re in the dark.”
“What does that mean?”I asked.
“Who said your father was Lorenzo?”And then she hung up.
I stood there, gripping the phone, shocked at her words.Was she playing a game with me?Was she telling the truth?Could it be possible that Lorenzo wasn’t my father?But it couldn’t.I was Sam Valenti, the eldest of the Valenti boys.My dad, I had his eyes.Everyone said I had his eyes, but did I really?
I took a deep breath and texted Valentina.
Me: Hey, can I talk to you later?
She responded immediately.
Valentina: Of course.Is everything okay?
Me: No
As soon as I sent the message, my phone started ringing, and I realized it was Valentina.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
“What do you mean, ‘What’s going on?’I just got your message.You said everything’s not okay.What’s wrong?Sam?”
“Hey, slow down, Valentina.”
“What’s going on?Why is everything not okay?”
