“I need to leave someone here.” He could not leave Michele, of course. “I would just send him and stay with my wife and son, but Roberto’s son is younger, and I don’t trust him after the last incident.”

My niece Adrian was five months old, but Roberto’s son was only a few days old. We got to see him, and he was adorable. I told Roberto he was a pretty boy, nothing like him. Roberto very calmly said that he looked like his mother, and it was what he had wanted all along.

That was cute of him.

But about the last incident, I didn’t have any knowledge. I was busy sneaking off the house, I guessed.

I looked at Roberto and pouted my lips. “Oh, Roberto, what did you do?”

“He shot his wife’s gynecologist,” Michele answered with a smile.

I froze with shock. What the fuck? “Isn’t this a little too much jealousy, Robby-boy?”

Roberto looked at me with eyes that could cut stone. “Fucker tried to give my wife a husband stitch.”

Oh well. My terror left my body, and I smiled up at him. “Great job then, Roberto. More power to you.”

“Don’t encourage him,” Gabriele said with a pleading voice, but I only shrugged. He deserved it, so it was okay. Killing people was a regular business in the mob, and when they deserved it, there was no point in agonizing over it.

This was our life, after all. Our destiny. No need to live in misery because people you love were murderers. It was best to get used to it.

“So, we will go, right? Are Kira and Adrian gonna come with us?” Michele asked our brother, changing the topic to Chicago again.

A growl left his throat, and he brushed away his golden hair. “We should look peaceful. Act like it is a family visit, but I really don’t want to take Kira and Adrian there.”

“You don’t trust them?” I asked.

Gabriele shook his head. “Well, of course, I have worries, but I don’t think they are gonna attack us when we are on a friendly visit. I am more nervous about all the traveling. Adrian is still young, and I don’t want Kira to get tired too much. I want her comfortable.”

Of course, he did. He was so much in love with his wife, and my heart melted at that. Still, it was my opening. “Well, it can still look friendly family visit without them.”

“How,” Gabriele asked too innocently. He was just ready to be cached by my nets. Great.

I smiled hugely and tried to look my sweetest self. “You can takeme.”
