The Mafia Princess Engaged to Her Father's Enemy novel · Chapter 14 of 24
Chapter 14: Bait
The Cortese bakery on Quay Street smelled of yeast and burnt sugar at four in the morning.
The ovens had been lit since midnight.
Bruna slapped a mound of dough onto the steel counter, and flour floated up around her.
"Start again," she said. "From the van."
"Not yet," I said.
I slid the paper across the counter.
I had drawn the museum's front steps, the coat check, the loading door behind the catering tent, and one wobbling arrow.
Emanuele stood on the other side of the counter with his arms folded, in yesterday's shirt.
He had not sat down once.
"Say it plainly," he said.
"Mariano took three ledgers from my father's safe."
"You said that in the car."
"A man who wants a will takes one page."
"He took three books and walked out past me like it was nothing."
"Those ledgers are the whole family, every payment and every name."
"If he put a bomb under your father's car, or a hired man in my gallery, there's a line in there for it."
