Capo Dei Capi (Secrets of the Famiglia Part 1) novel Chapter 67

Josey and I are in the same boat, except I avoid a confrontation with Marco while she goes all in. Either way, we’re both aren't getting what we want. Or better yet, who.

Leonardo says something and starts laughing.

The guy is something to look at, but right now he is looking at a very fleshy brunette and her D-cups. It isn't the first time I imagine what Ren would do now if he were here.

I miss him, every day.

“Do you ever plan on talking to his brother? I am sure if you did he might just surprise you. He doesn't seem like the dark and brooding type. I am sure his brother is the same. Still can't believe he is part of the Syndicate.”

I roll my eyes, as my knees remain planted on the couch and my fingers on the curtains.

“I told you I can't, he is with Camilla now. I am only half Italian.” I don’t tell her Marco doesn’t talk to me any longer. Or that we kissed thrice or the last time he physically removed me from my door without so much as a grunt. I am short but not light.

Some secrets just needed to remain secrets. I have no idea why I even admitted that I had a crush on Marco. If Josey tells Kylie, she will know exactly who he is and what I am going through. Because Kylie is in love with Vincent and just like me, he doesn’t love her back.

A hard re-sounding sting burns my ass that I almost topple off the chair. Someone helps me and I spin around to look at Kylie and Diamond who are laughing so loud.

The music blares and other people’s loud conversations drown out most of it, which makes it difficult to say anything and be heard much less have a conversation with all of them.

Kylie tilts her head as the music blasts through the house with another song.

I turn my head from habit while I begin to walk with my friends, and see two bikers walking behind me. Diamond cuts them out of sight as she gently puts her hand on my back and walks next to me.

That speeds up my steps as my nerves go on end.

What is Rosco doing here? I last saw him when I was twelve. The only man to ever leave the Famiglia alive. I know because up until now I thought he was dead.

His long hair, shaved skin and new clothes don't make him a different person. I would recognize him anywhere, after all he is the splitting image of my uncle.

What is he doing here?

When we get to the black door, Kylie refers to as her ‘man cave', she keys in the code and we get inside.

Dark stained oak shelves greet us as the lights go on, and the hundreds of ornaments adorning them from different parts of the world.

“Did you miss me sweet thang?” The unknown biker says as I spin around to face him. He has unkempt hair that looks like he jumped out of the shower and ran his fingers through them as a means of a comb. His whiskey eyes are small and currently stuck on Kylie.

He must be the greener pastures Kylie was talking about when she said she wasn't crushing on Vincent any longer.
