The Mafia Family

Chapter 4

Juliette's POV

I walked through the hall to my father's office, I remembered I used to go in there all the time, whenever I want him to take me to bed or sit in his chair, I was the only one who can ever sit in it. Two of his best men were outside, guarding and nodded, I entered the room and to my surprise, a man with a nice suit, his hair combed back, hugging my father and making my father smile, the only ones who can make my father smile were my mother whenever he sees her photo and me. The man turned his attention to me and grined at me, I ran to the man who is my godfather.

"This is really my little girl? All grown up? Let me look at you." Victor Rossi has been a great family friend and my father's most trusted friend. I have known him since I was a child and he's been such a great man. He took my hand and gently spinned me around.
"You've grown into such a beautiful woman, Juliette, and I'm sorry I couldn't attend the wedding, I was dealing with some business and I couldn't get away but I brought gifts for you, my sweet child."

"You don't have to do that. Just seeing you again is enough."

"No I need to. And besides, for my goddaughter, you deserve the best. You will receive it later during the dinner."

"I already know what your going to give her, Victor. I approve, now go get ready for tonight, Little Rose. I think tonight will be a great."

I pulled out my dress, a red floral lace bodycon dress, I adore the color red because it symbolized strength and courage. Being a woman in a Mafia family, you have to be strong and courage, but it's more then that. It means to show everyone you can handle anything.

I heard Elijah grunting and groaning, I saw him struggling to tie his tie and so I went to help him.
"I don't need help." He softly spoke and looked embarrassed, "You were having trouble so I decided to help you out. Besides, I know how to tie a tie by doing the same thing for my father."

"Wearing a tie is stupid. I can never get them right since I was 14. Thanks. I'm not in the mood to speak with Gonzalez about one of his casinos."

"Why not? He's one of the big five, he's going to speak with everyone. I heard Maverick Night is attending but I doubt it. He never attends to any of our parties."

"Tell me about it. I don't see the point in inviting him if he never shows up but it doesn't matter. It'll be a boring dinner, let's go. But first, you look beautiful."

"Thank you. You look nice. Come on."

I spotted Renny in her black halter contrast lace sheath dress, her hair at the side, appeared to be waiting for me, then I noticed Elijah's friend walking towards us.

"Got some news you thought you would find interesting. Maverick Knight is actually going to be here."

"You serious?"

"Yes."

"Yeah right. That man never comes to any of these parties. The bastard always refuses."

"I agree with Renny. We always invite him and he never dares to show up. What makes you think he'll come?"

"I know my ways. Flynn Sullivan, we never got the chance to introduce ourselves."

"Nice to meet you, this is my friend Renny..."

"We know each other, in a way."

"Really?"

"He's the guy who comes by at Queens to speak with Joanne. Got word from the other girls you wouldn't go with any of them. But you do visit..."

"Yeah I recognize you at the club, not by dancing but your singing up stage every Friday night."

"Your singing again? Renny that's so great!"
