Kiara
"He is a cute one." This is really not the word I expected to come out from this guy's mouth.
His appearance is not matching his voice nor his words right now. Sorry, but he simply does not seem like the type of man to be calling my son cute. Massimo is fairly calm though, probably because he just ate. No doubt that all he probably wants to do now is sleep.
"Quite the family you have here Romano and the wife is pregnant. Tuo padre si starà rivoltando nella tomba vedendoti vivere con un americano in questo modo." (Your father must be turning over in his grave seeing you living with an American like this.) he must not think that I understand Italian.
"Attento Romeo, rispetta la regina." (Careful Romeo, respect the Queen) The other one told him. "Ho sentito che hai fatto fuori Valentina, come dovrebbe fare una boss lady. Il mio vecchio amico ha trovato il partner giusto" he then addressed me. (I heard you took out Valentina, as a boss lady should do. My old friend found the right partner)
"Grazie." I answered dryly.
"Kiara è stata una risorsa preziosa per questa famiglia, ed è esattamente ciò di cui mio fratello aveva bisogno, che lo ammetta o meno." Wow now that moved me. I literally almost teared up. Trust Marcel to touch me with his soft words.(Kiara has been a valuable asset to this family, and exactly what my brother needed whether be admits it or not) I mouthed a small thank you to him because I really did appreciate him putting in a good word for me amongst these men that I had never met before. He simply raised his glass in my direction with a curt nod like the gentleman that he is."And my wife is as Italian as anyone in this room." Dario added.
"Well, we're all family around here. It's a pleasure to finally meet the mafia queen." The big one whose name I can't recall said. "And congrats on the pregnancy." He added with a smirk to Dario.
"Thank you, I appreciate it."
"He works for us at the warehouse in Florence." Dario whispered to me. Well then I guess they all work under him.The night went by smoothly but i couldn't hang. Unlike these drunk men, I wasn't able to enjoy a single drink plus I was beyond exhausted so I let them be early in the night and went upstairs. I tucked in my boys and I knocked out as soon as my head hit the pillow.
