Capo Dei Capi (Secrets of the Famiglia Part 1) novel Chapter 53

"Absolutely not!" My father yells from his brown leather chair.

Deno and I are seated on the two front chairs, studying the man who raised us from afar after my mother's death.

In the last hour, we have explained the situation to him. I told my father about Amariya, who has gone AWOL. Deno informed him about Lucca, who's now actively looking for Mischa. And lastly, a possible marriage between Aliyana and myself happening in the near future.

And like we predicted; he wasn't surprised Amariya was gone. He lost his shit about Lucca, calling him an ungrateful brat and banged his hands on the table. And now, he has refused my marriage to Aliyana. My father is predictable and a hard-headed man.

"We had an agreement when you came in this door 6-years-ago with the same story about that fucking woman you met. What was her name?"

"Jane Doe," Deno answers, with a smile as I glare at him. She was a hot woman, and I met her once. Once was all it took then to have me hooked even though I never did get the woman's name.

"I told you, give me a fucking grandson. Then you can marry whoever the fuck you want. Now you are what? 34, still no grandkids. I am an old man, I want fuckin' grandkids. Deno is already plotting the death of his fucking wife. Leonardo is a sick fuck, and Anya, my precious daughter, is more dangerous than my toughest soldier. Also refusing to marry so she can run her fucking shops. What kind of kids have I ended up with?"

"I'm sure Leonardo will give you grandkids, soon," Deno states in mocking sarcasm.

"Mischa is part DeMarco and Catelli. Her blood is our blood. We'll protect her like we promised." My father rubs his hand down his face.

I should feel some remorse right now that he lost a son, and his other son wants to marry his ‘enemy's’ daughter, but I can't find any for him.

He started this shit with Sartini when he gave the man's daughter away to prevent a war.

Now, I am asking to marry Sartini's other daughter to start one.
