"We aren't the picture of perfection. We are fifty shades of a shitshow, that my mother keeps under the wraps."
Valarie Hernandez,
Mama stormed into the dining room as the double doors slammed against the wall. Honestly to anyone else she looked terrifying and if I didn't know her any better then I would have too drank the poisoned coffee she had the servants make for me. I smirked inhaling the fumes.
"How dare you! You ungrateful whore! I shall throw you out of the house right now! You undermined Ace's rule, and disrespected your dead brothers body!" She screamed at me as the girl from earlier walked into the room, with Salvador walking in ripping his tie off.
"Mama calm yourself. Your going to get wrinkles. And I would like to understand how I didn't receive an invitation to my own brothers funeral. Forget that his my brother he was also my leader. And Ace will never be able to rule this mafia the way Alessio did. We both know that!" I kept my cool unlike her.
For someone who was so terrified of her image being ruined she know how to make a scene.
"Rosa. Please lets calm ourselves. The world is now watching us more then ever. We must present ourselves as united family font." He tried to explain to her while I checked him out, he has gotten skinner, but his muscles were still defined. His eyes were a ghost of who he was, he was tired.
"You want a family? Who's the whore we are parading around calling one of our own?" I said flicking the ashes of the cigar to which my mother lounged towards me as Salvador grabbed her as she threw her hands out like a feral animal as I chuckled throwing my head back exhaling the cloud of smoke into her face.
"I should have you married right away!" She hissed at me that was her biggest threat. How ironic that my mother chose to turn a blind eye. She pushed Salvador off as he pulled out a chair to sit next to me.
"And get that whore out of the dress!" My mother yelled at the nearby maids and servants.
"Hallelujah we are finally in agreement mother." I smiled at Salvador as he softly kicked me under the table in warning to not piss her of any further.
"She shall stay in the dress." My brothers voice boomed out as my mother all but bowed to him. Salvador stood up in respect to his new leader while I kept my ass glued to the seat.
"Valarie. Your visit was most unexpected but however your stay shall be welcomed." I nodded towards him as he stood at the other end of the table waiting.
"Well my presence would be more expected if I had gotten an invitation. Would you like to explain that one brother?" Ace and I had never gotten on. His presences in my life simply infuriated me. Every time I saw him. I had to stop myself from gauging his eyes out.
"I- well you know how it is." I tutted at him which pissed him off.
"Ah brother. You never know what's going on in your own mafia do you? How disgraceful. I just simply hope you don't lead us to our deaths." I said as there was a gasp from my mother and the look on Salvador's face told me I had gone to far. And the girl well she simply thought I was going to get killed now.
