The Mark He Bit Into Me novel Chapter 14

Chapter 5

At that moment, all of the Family’s senior Capos, Regimes, and Lewis’s inner circle were in the middle of a crucial meeting.

My sudden, uninvited arrival was a profound breach of protocol.

The hardened men around the table frowned, their faces etched with annoyance and open contempt.

After all, in their eyes, I was just “that new girl,” a nobody.

Even Victoria, standing at the head of the table beside Lewis’s chair, didn’t recognize me.

No one in the Corleone family knew what the real Signora Corleone looked like.

Not even his precious Consigliere.

Only Lewis looked genuinely shocked to see me.

But he said nothing.

The first to speak was Victoria, who was leading the meeting.

Head held high, her elegant features were a mask of cold disdain and impatience.

“What is so important that you interrupt a council of Capos?” Her voice could have cut glass.

I didn’t hold back. “Victoria, are you denying me my completion certificate just because I called you the Don’s goomah?”

A ripple of muttered surprise went around the table as all eyes snapped toward Victoria.

Her expression tightened, a flicker of shock in her eyes before they narrowed into slits.

Clearly, she hadn’t expected a lowly probationary member to have the audacity to confront her like this,

here, in the heart of their power.

She recovered quickly, her voice dripping with icy condescension. “Since you already seem to know the

answer, why bother asking?”

She didn’t deny it.

There was no point.

The rumor was a poison she couldn’t contain.

To reassert her authority, someone had to be made an example of.

And she had chosen me.

I met her gaze, unblinking, and raised my voice, addressing the whole room.

I let out a cold sneer. “Too late? No. It’s not. I can correct my mistake right now.”
