“I’m honored,” I say, looking at Earl Konig.
“Congratulations, D’Angelo. Welcome to the Mafia,” Lord Milan says, shaking my hand, hugging me.
“Thanks,” I say, nodding.
The Boss Cappola walks over to hug me, kisses each cheek, slaps my back, yelling.
“D’Angelo, welcome to the Cappola Crime Famiglia.”
“Thank you,” I say, taking the wine off the tray.
I take a drink closing my eyes.
It’s done!
The Capos and Soldatos congratulate me. I wait for the crowd to start to disperse. Then, I get away as soon as possible.
I need to get back to Noelle.
Noelle
I'm super excited because we’re celebrating Christmas Eve, my Birthday. This will be the first time that my heart and soul will be at peace in a long time. I miss my Mama; I wish she were here by my side in this special moment of my life.
I still hate my Dad, but I’m trying to forgive him, but it’s too fucking hard. He murdered my Mama, for Christ's sake, and I don’t know if I can ever forgive him. I’m glad that Chris has my Dad under control, so I believe that Dad will behave and not cause fucking issues with Chris.
I know that Chris will eliminate Dad, there’s no doubt. I’m not naive about who Chris is and what he does. I’m good; it’s what I’ve known my entire life. I know that Chris will never hurt me.
I adjust my dress, turning in front of the mirror pursing my lips.
“Fuck, I look so fat, and I’ve tried all of my dresses, and they all look the same.”
I walk out of my room, heading to the kitchen to check on the food because I’m starving.
“Yes, this looks so good.”
I take the plate and serve myself some salad, walk over to sit at the table.
A couple of hours later, I walk over to the big window to look out at the other houses on the street with Christmas lights.
I walk over to sit in front of the fireplace, waiting for the guests. But, unfortunately, dad is not here yet, so I’m alone waiting for Chris, his family, cousin, and friends.
A few minutes later.
“Cousin, where are you,” Sam yells.
“I’m in the family room,” I yell, pushing off the sofa.
I walk up to Sam and Heather, hugging them.
“I’m so fucking happy that you’re here,” I say, kissing my cousin Sam on the cheek.
“Yeah, we couldn’t miss celebrating your birthday,” Sam says, smiling.
“Of fuckingcourse, I wouldn’t dream of missing your birthday,” Heather scoffs, rolling her eyes.
“Fuck Nemo, I’m so happy,” I say, rubbing my tummy.
“I bet, so tell me, did you get an ultrasound? Do you know what you’re having,” Heather asks, smiling, placing her hand on my tummy.
