The Mafia Princess Engaged to Her Father's Enemy novel · Chapter 15 of 24
Chapter 15: Taken
The Harbor Museum had put out four hundred candles and a string quartet, and I wore the sage dress with a clean hem.
I had no pockets and no gun, and a folded card tucked in my left glove.
The Montalto table stood near the front, under a banner that said ARTISTS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC.
Mariano had saved me a chair beside his.
"There she is," he said, rising, with that same tender smile. "Look at her, gentlemen. A Montalto in the middle of a room again."
Six capos stood to greet me.
The old one with the cane did not, but he watched me over the rim of his glass.
I sat.
Mariano poured my wine with his own hand and told a story about a stolen painting that made the table roar.
While they laughed, I slid my card under his bread plate.
I laughed in the right places.
I had spent two days learning to do it.
At ten past eight, my advisor took the microphone.
She was a small woman in a green silk dress, and she had taught me to read a crack in a glaze, and she thanked "our dear Raffaella, who is brave enough to be here this week."
