Union Of Death (Secrets of The Famiglia Part 2) novel Chapter 4

Rebellion has become my latest friend and closest companion when dealing with my father these last four months. To think in less than a few short months Ren would be gone for a year. An entire year without him.

“Surely there must be someone else Papa. I really don’t want to go, please?”

“Absolutely not. Ilaria is prepping for our Christmas dinner and your brother can’t be the only one who attends. Now enough of this whining, you are leaving in an hour and that is final. Your sister needs you there, this is a big-time for her. It isn’t every day a woman gets married. Soon Guilia will be a Catelli. Making babies and doing woman things.”

I roll my eyes at my father’s back currently faced to me. After my week with Kylie and Diamond ended the day before, I wasn’t so keen on the prospect of me going to the Manor. Apparently, the Manor was not the Catelli’s household I thought.

Which wasn’t too far from my own, but it was Marco’s Manor and required a 3-hour drive to the middle of nowhere.

A trip that far meant Filippo Guilia and myself were all going in one convoy. Which meant this was going to be an entire 180 minutes listening to Guilia bitch and moan, while Filippo swore about every damn car that didn’t drive the way he wanted.

All peachy and rosy. The only thing is I’m not looking forward to it one bit. What soured my mood even further was the near mentioning thought of meeting Camilla Moretti.

Marco and her were engaged and soon to be married. According to my nosy friend Kylie, Camilla was apparently secretly living with Marco in the Manor.

Upon hearing this news, going just seemed like I was throwing myself into a hot pit. And I prefer the cold.

“And with regards to your choice of soldiers, I decline your suggestion. Salvatore and Michel are related to Camilla so naturally, they could’ve attended if they were invited which was not the case.

Gabriel will be attending on his Uncle's behalf and I think the two of you alone is enough trouble for one weekend, so I have decided to send Matteo.” And there it is. The bane of my existence. Matteo Di Salvo is the most annoying being ever to cross paths with me and stay. He lives to drive me insane.
