Prologue

Delfina Poletti was terrified.There was nothing in her Catholic upbringing, neither anything the nuns who taught at her local school nor anything her parents shared at home, could have done to prepare her for the situation unfolding in front of her.Since the night, her cousin Nek came home to break the news he’d stolen bank statements, forged documents, then lost Delfina’s parent’s restaurant in a high-stakes poker game, her world was turned upside down on its head. Not only did he lie and steal from his family, but he used his mediocre forgery skills to inflate the value of the restaurant upwards of a million dollars. He then apparently led the people at the poker table to believe it was a Michelin-rated restaurant where people from all over New York state came to eat. The truth was it was worth a hundred thousand dollars, if that, and the only people driving all over the state were the truckers who ate there.Nek thought it was a sure thing when his poker hand of four of a kind, a...

The Reading of the Will
“And to my eldest grandson, Ruggero Orfeo Rapallino, I leave you my house, all of it’s contents, my collection of automobiles and five hundred million dollars.”Ruggero heard his sister grumble from beside him as their grandfather, Ercole Muraro’s, will was read. The dead man was an old school misogynist but leaving his two sisters Ernestina and Perla each fifty thousand dollars when he possessed a billion-dollar estate was a slap in the face to the women. In their shoes he’d be pissed off as well.His mother, the daughter of the crotchety old bastard who was now deceased, was bequeathed jewelry from a safe deposit box resting on his desk. It was even more insulting than the measly lump-sum his sisters received because the jewelry belonged to Ruggero’s grandmother. It meant his grandfather wasn’t leaving his only child, his daughter, anything of his own estate but rather simply passing on the jewels he’d guarded once his first wife passed away. Ruggero’s father was also to receive no

Back Home
“Order up!”Delfina grabbed the plates on the metal warming shelf and layered them along her forearm and then turned to take the food to the group of people waiting at the table. It was a busy morning, and she was grateful of the pace.Setting the plates in front of her customers, she smiled, “is there anything else I can get for you?”“No ma’am, this looks wonderful.” One of the three truckers beamed at her.The one sitting in the booth across his two friends looked her over, “unless you want to give me your number. My truck has a cot.”“As tempting as the offer is,” she continued smiling despite the revulsion curling down her spine because she could smell the man as much as she could see him, “my partner is not the sharing kind.” She gave a nod and walked away cursing once again how close the family restaurant was to the truck stop up the road.She lied through her teeth to get away from the men. She had no partner. The man she’d lived with for the last three years suffered a massiv

Sins
“Abortion is a sin, Delfina,” her mother whispered quietly while clutching her rosary around her neck.Her words made Delfina want to punch the table until it cracked open.Caprice, the woman who once treated Delfina like the dirt beneath her shoes but now considered her a sister after saving her only sibling’s life, shot her aunt Tiziana a sideways glare.“I cannot have this child, mother.”“Aunt Tizi you cannot expect her to give birth to a baby borne out of rape.” Caprice was vehement as her aunt made the sign of the cross on her chest and prayed loudly for guidance from above.“She willingly went to his bed,” her father said with a sad expression tugging his lips downward.Delfina stared at her parents knowing they were deeply religious and while they loved her and wanted desperately to give her the best in life, they were devout in their faith. In the eyes of the church an abortion was murder.Delfina felt pretty strongly otherwise, and she pushed from the table as her cousin and

Unwanted Customers
Delfina considered she might be being punished for wishing death on another human being. Holding lasagne platters for table six in her arms, the sight of the people at table eight almost had her dropping the dishes onto the floor.Her previous thoughts about not finding orgasms in her parent’s restaurants came back to mock her.Ruggero Rapallino was a drop-dead gorgeous specimen of a man and as he leaned back with his arms outstretched over the back of the largest booth behind his sister and mother’s shoulders he exuded power. She knew from Ercole he was wealthy in his own right from investing his trust funds he received when he’d turned twenty-one and making a big name for himself on Wall Street. Every function they’d ever attended where he was present, Ruggero always escorted a different woman on his arm, but she knew the way he doted on his mother and sisters, he was the consummate gentleman. Ercole called him the most handsome pussy on the planet and said more than once despite Ru

Sharing Truths
She met her mother’s concerned gaze as the woman stirred her pasta sauce in a giant pot which had been in the restaurant since it opened twenty-five years ago. Some things tasted better when steeped deep in tradition.A wicked thought of Ruggero’s eyes on her made Delfia wonder if he would follow tradition and be as sick bastard as his grandfather in the sack. A tiny part of her wanted to know. She evaded her mother’s glance as she wondered if he would have the stamina of his older and uglier grandfather. What the hell was wrong with her?“Are they giving you a hard time?”“I’m fine, Mom.”“You’re flushed.”Because I’m suddenly thinking of Ruggero Rapallino being more rugged than his grandfather. “I can handle it.”“You’re pregnant, Delfina. Do not overdo it.”“Mom, if I thought overdoing it would deal with my situation, I’d be working double shifts from sunup to sundown while carrying heavy items everywhere I went.”“You do not want to lose this child. I know you.”“You don’t know an

It Was Good?
“Ew, are you saying the sex was good?” Ernestina gagged exaggeratedly. “You said he took pride in everything he did, and it included fucking. He was gross. How did you even know which eye to look into when you were getting it on? And seriously, could he even get it up and make you orgasm?”If the question had come from anyone else, about anyone else, she probably would have laughed but instead she leaned over the table and looked the woman in the eyes.“Sometimes a woman does what she has to do to survive Ernestina but you in your perfect little pampered life wouldn’t know a hard time if it smacked you in the face with a bat. Ercole Muraro could fuck like a stallion straight out of a porn which would make my god-fearing mother’s toes curl. The only time he was ever tender to me in three years was during the pillow talk after he’d finally come hours later. He loved to make me lay on his sweaty chest and play with my hair while he told me tales about his life. Sex and the moments after

In The Garage
Ruggero was in his grandfather’s study and his parents were sitting there, all of them staring at the ugly portrait which had been on the wall but now leaned against it. They’d been trying to unlock the safe for the better part of an hour.“Didn’t Delfina say there were hidden compartments in his desk?”“Did she mean this one or the one in the garage?”“I’ve been in the garage. I couldn’t find a desk or an office.”His siblings going back and forth were causing his head to throb. “He was a crafty bastard. If there are hidden compartments in this desk, he’s making it impossible to find. Let’s go to the garage find some hammers and start taking this thing apart.”The group started to the door when Olympia’s whimper as she paused at the portrait made them all pause.“She lied, Mom,” Perla tried to console her mom. “She is hiding a pregnancy, maybe to try to get money and the best way to do it is to sow seeds of discord.”Ruggero watched however as his mother kept shooting glances at her

Hotel Room Interrogations
She hadn’t expected to feel this awful. She’d taken the first pill orally in the clinic and then they’d inserted a different medication vaginally an hour after. She thought she’d be swallowing both pills, but the nurse said it was faster and more efficient this way. Then they’d sent her on her merry way nearly six hours ago.Now she was experiencing cramps which felt very much like the worst period she’d ever experienced. Nek was quietly watching the television laying on the other bed in the room, his eyes frequently flitting to her with concern but not saying anything.She rolled to her side pulling her knees to her abdomen, a small painful moan erupting past her lips.“Are you okay?” Nek’s concerned voice floated over the space between their beds.“I’m fine. Feels like bad menstrual cramps.” She stared at a dot on the wall, “Mom is going to be furious with me.”“It’s not her place.”A knock on the door had them locking gazes before Nek kicked off the bed and moved to the door. He lo

Ideas and Plans
A tendril of his hair was pulling out of the elastic band at the nape of his neck, and she fought a weird compulsion to tuck it back behind his ear. She decided he would likely chop her hand off for merely touching him.She’d never once entertained the notion of a bad boy before Ercole. When Ercole ripped her from her parents’ home, she wouldn’t have watched an R rated movie and certainly not ever considered a man with long hair and a wicked glint in his eye, especially one twice her age, to be attractive. Yet here she was, once again at odds with her brain and her body.She didn’t look away from the anger in his eyes, proud if anything Ercole gave her a spine as part of his legacy.He frowned at her before sighing loudly, “what’s done is done. We have more pressing matters to discuss.”“Such as.”“Rapallino.”“Again, they have nothing to do with me.”“I disagree. I’ve been out of the country and wasn’t here when Ercole died and have only recently returned. I haven’t been able to get
