Armonia ☆ Kavi

Chapter One

•This book is dedicated to ShrimpsOnSticks who gave me the idea to write a mafia story oh so long ago•

"Tesoro, what on earth are you doing?" (Treasure).

Kirstin Maldonado looks up at her brother from where she stands atop her balcony ledge. "Just trying to kill myself before this bachelorette party," She murmurs nonchalantly and her brother responds with a scowl.

"You're so overdramatic, it won't even be that bad." "Psh yeah ok." Kirstin's laugh is melodic as she bitterly chuckles at her brother. "My only girlfriend here is Mitch, all my other friends are guys. You want me to have a party with just Mitchy, cause I'm down."

"You can't go with just Mi-would you get down from there." He walks over to the ledge and extends his hand out to her. She looks at the grass under her, almost as if she's going to jump, then she hops down onto the balcony, her heels clicking loudly on the marble.

"And why can't it just be the two of us? Why do I need some random chicks to act like my friends?" Kirstin's brother rolls his eyes and follows her into her bedroom. "It's for your protection Tesoro, think of them as bodyguards."

"Gabe please, it's probably just going to be a few of the prostitutes from that whore house of yours." She snaps as she stares at her reflection in her ornate bedroom mirror. "You know it's not mine, just a property of ours."

Kirstin glances back at Gabe and laughs again. "Right, and that makes it so much better. Anyways what do I even need protection from? You think some mob boss is gonna come snatch me?" Her brother opens his mouth to speak but she continues.

"I hope it's that French one, what's his name? Avriel Kaplan? My sources tell me he's molto attraente." (Very attractive) The words roll off her tongue and she licks her lips, causing her brother to groan with frustration and annoyance.

"Why are you like this?" Kirstin sighs and disappears into her massive closet. "Because Orso, I like to annoy you. It's my only source of entertainment, especially since you haven't let me leave this bitch in a week." (Bear)

"There are new mafia threats all throughout NYC and the compound is the safest place for you." Kirstin comes back out of her closet with two dresses and she holds them up for her brother. "The green one, looks more elegant."

She nods and takes the other one back into the closet. "Can you promise me you'll try to have fun tonight?" Gabe asks and she sighs again. "I pinky promise, just for you." Her brother smiles and kisses her forehead. "Thank you Tesoro, I love you."

"I love you too, Orso."

"Alright girls, let's fucking party!"

Mitch Grassi tosses his glass of champagne into the back of his throat then he glances at his frowning best friend Kirstin. "Cosa c'è che non va Gattino?" (What's wrong Kitty) She sighs as the other girls in the limo give them questioning looks.

Kirstin could tell the other people in the limo weren't a part of the mafia, they didn't know her language or her culture. While they wear skimpy little trashy party dresses, Kirstin wears an Italian green floor length dress that fits her brother's standards.

"Remember Tesoro, show your class, show your wealth-" "And show your power, Gabe you've told me hundreds of times already." Oh, how her brother loved to remind her of his rules for his mafia members.

Mitch had noticed the other bridesmaids lack of class as well which had led the both of them to believe Gabe had basically given them prostitutes from one of his units to have a bachelorette party, just like Kirstin thought he would.
