“We’re here, we’re all sinners, and we want to do this right,” she said. “But Daddy, you know what love is like, and you know that Mom drove you wild.” Then she made a girlish face at him. “And I do have her beauty.”
Frank chuckled softly. “You do.” Then he turned his attention to me. “I suppose this is the news that you two have been wanting to share with me?”
I nodded then said, “Frank, I want to be nothing but the best for your daughter. Your grandchild won’t lack for a thing. I’ll make sure everyone’s safe and happy and—”
“I got you,” Frank said, putting one of his hands up. “I know you will. Now, can we just go get some damn lunch. I’ve been starving ever since we got in.” Then he looked at me, “Might as well make good on that promise that I won’t ever want in anything, right?”
“You’re not the baby,” I said.
We both started laughing. Adriana joined in. Again, Frank was showing a flexible side I hadn’t known him to have before the attack.
We made our way to one of Chicago’s finest restaurants, an upscale steakhouse where I made sure that Frank had his fill of food and wine. Frank doted over the idea of his daughter giving him a grandchild.
“What do you think the baby will be?” He asked. “A boy or a girl?”
Adriana answered before I could. “The baby will be loved. No matter what.”
“If it’s a girl,” I said, “we can both spoil her. And if he’s a boy, we can teach him how to be a good man.”
Frank nodded, then started to try to speak through a mouthful of food.
“I’ll teach him table manners,” Adriana said.
All in all, we had a wonderful day.
When Adriana and I got back home, we napped together, and when I woke up, she showed me her appreciation. I did the same, caressing her body as she awoke a powerful lust within me.
Soon, our clothes came off.
That Sunday session was a true display of our unfettered passion for one another. I can’t begin to tell someone just how intense of a lover she really is. It’s as if the heavens parted and the angels sang a song that gave me a pleasure beyond any description.
She thoroughly enjoyed me, and I enjoyed her.
Afterwards, we cuddled naked, and her warmth gave me a hope I hadn’t had in years.
As the days passed, there was a trial and error on my part as the father of her child. We would go clothes shopping and she would have to redirect me when I chose outfits that were poor fits for any baby.
We finally found out the sex, but we decided to wait until the baby was born for the world to know.
In the meantime, Adriana had to learn the ways of the Mafia with my help. We met with several of the important men and women who served our purposes. Adriana caught on much faster than I thought she would.
“I don’t trust that man,” she told me one day about one of the new recruits.
“He’s a little brusque, but other than that….what’s wrong with him?” I asked. The young man in question had been picked by Carlo, and I was sure that Carlo wouldn’t make a mistake. There was no way.
“Did you see the way he was looking at me?” She said, “He knows you’re the father of my child, yet he didn’t show you the proper respect you deserved.”
I hadn’t thought of it too much. “You’re incredibly beautiful,” I said. “And he comes highly recommended by Carlo. So what if he’s a little bit of a dog?”
We had met the young man at a meat packing plant, where he would be in charge of ensuring shipments of certain substances would get packed and sent to the right distributors.
“Do you really want a man you can’t trust for your supply chain?” She asked. “He’s openly disrespecting you. There were 10 other women around, and the only one he had eyes for was me.”
I took her advice and she turned out to be right. Since I never hired him, I found later on that I had dodged a bullet. The man was an undercover agent for the FBI, and was responsible for busting several other small gangs.
Adriana was more than adept in matters of interpersonal politics. But she was much more than that.
She was the smart, beautiful woman of my dreams. Aside from making excellent choices, she was also quick to learn and solve problems that I didn’t anticipate. In short, she was much better at my job than I was.
