Chapter 19: The Ring on the Table

The Don received him in the long dining room, at the same table where my father had lied about me.

Forty people stood along the walls.

I sat at the Don's left hand, because he had pointed at the chair and nobody had argued.

Gianluca stood behind my chair with one hand on the wood.

The man in the camel coat came in with his son, who had the wedding ring, and a younger man carrying a velvet box.

"Don," he said, and bowed his head an inch.

"Sit," the Don said.

"I prefer to stand for this." The Newark boss looked down the table at me. "I came to correct a misunderstanding. Two days ago my son was lied to by a girl on a telephone."

"By my sister," I said.

"By a girl," he said. "I understand the real one is you."

"I'm Renata Ostuni."

"Then the offer stands." He nodded to the young man, who opened the box.

A diamond lay on the white satin.

"My youngest is twenty-six and unmarried," the boss said. "You marry him, you keep my books, and Newark gives your family what Miami took. Rossi's, the cars, the crew, all of it."

Nobody in the room moved.

It was a good offer, and he knew it.

I looked at the ring for a moment, and then I closed the lid with one finger.

"Can I ask you something first?" I said.
