Chapter 25
Lucy (Caterina)
I was shocked with what they were telling me, so every Mafia family has been looking for me for all these years. To what? Kill me? “You guys found me know what?” “We found you to protect you Lucy we don’t want anyone else to find you, especially not the Marchetti’s they will kill you in fact they have someone in their dungeon which they think is the Capone Heir that is what the meeting was about this morning.” Enzo said. “But his not are they just going to kill him?” I was horrified thinking that they will just kill an innocent man. “No, they are doing DNA test but when it comes back negative, we don’t want to lie to you they will probable kill him.” John said with so much disgust in his voice.
“Okay please explain how I can stand in the way of the Marchetti’s being the Mafia Kings for centuries to come?” All four of them looked at each other. It was Enzo that asked “Aren’t you tired yet?” “I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep with the information you gave me today.” “Are you sure?” John asked “Yes, I’m sure.” “Well okay then.” Nico said. But it was Frank that took over “You are the only heir to the Capone family, the title Mafia King or in your case Mafia Princess or Queen is yours. You are rightfully the Mafia Princess and until you are dead, he can’t really own that title and his old and he wants that title before he dies so he is really drastically searching for you.” “And that is why there is so much security?” I asked “Yes, we didn’t tell him we have you in fact we will never tell him we have you we will protect you with our lives.” Enzo said.
“Okay wait. What are you saying exactly?” They all looked at each other and it was Frank that said “You are not ready for what we are saying.” “Frank please don’t tell me what I’m ready for and what I’m not ready for, tell me or I’m going to tell you what I think.” “Let’s go with, you tell us what you think angel.” Enzo said. “Okay but don’t laugh at me if I’m wrong.” “We will never.” John assured me. “You want me to take my rightful place as the Capone heir meaning you want me to be the Mafia Princess / Queen?” They all looked at each other in shock like I was talking a lot of shit. But then Enzo said. “Yes, Lucy, we want you to own your name and title and take over as the head of the Mafia in Chicago.” Me saying it was okay but hearing it from them sounded so ridiculous I actually started to laugh. It was Frank that said “She was clearly not ready.” I stopped laughing and said “I thought you guys will laugh at me because come on I know absolutely nothing about the Mafia it was like you randomly picked someone of the street and told them okay you need to be the Mafia Princess it’s totally ridiculous.” I almost shouted at them.
“It’s not ridiculous. You have it in your blood you are a fighter.” John said. “If I was a fighter I wouldn’t have someone raped me, would I?” I asked sarcastically at him. “What happened after you where raped Lucy?” Frank asked. “What do you mean?” “Did you go and lay in a corner did you withdraw from life? What did you do?” “I got up and went to the hospital to get a rape kit done then I went to the police but the police didn’t take me seriously because I was just a kid from the system and was probable asking for it. When they didn’t want to help me, I went and thought myself how to fight and no one ever messed with me again.” “Well see you have that fight in you, you didn’t lie down you got up did what you should have done and when you didn’t get help from the people that should have helped you you took matters in your own hands. You’re a fighter.” Frank said. I’ve never thought about it in that way. But it still didn’t make me a Mafia Princess. “I know nothing about the Mafia or the business you guys are in, how can I possible learn everything and stay alive at the same time?” “That is why you have us.” Enzo said “We will keep you safe and teach you the ways of our world, we will always be by your side Lucy always. All you have to say is yes, I’ll try. We’ll do the rest.” Enzo said. “And if I don’t?” “Well then we will still protect you and still with our lives.” John said. “Are you sure?” “Yes, Lucy you have to want to do this you need to want to run this empire we can’t force you.” Nico said. “And if I say I will think about it?” “We will take that as well.” Nico told me. “Does this mean I will still stay a week with each of you?” “It does your life is still in danger.” Enzo said. “We still need to protect you.” “And the sex?” I think I shocked everyone because none of them could speak. I was thinking they didn’t want to do it anymore but it was John that said. “That my dear is all up to you, not one of us will force you but we would like to have an agreement with you.” “Oh, really and what is this agreement?” Let’s just say I was very intrigued.
