Chapter 270
Enzo
Cat took her punishment like a champ yes there was a tear or two put she didn’t really cry. Now we needed to get to business. We walked to John’s study where we all took a seat but as soon as Cat sat down, she jump right up. John and I looked at each other and smiled, Cat did not like it but she didn’t say a thing. I went back to the living room to get the pillow. “Here.” I said without saying sorry or giving an explanation. She put the pillow down and sat on it, it took her awhile to get comfortable. We were all sitting in John’s sitting area in his office around a coffee table. I pulled the coffee table towards me and opened my book.
“Okay angel the Gala.” “Yes.” She said and sighed “I know John told me you don’t want to be the head of the Mafia families so we will not introduce you as such, we will introduce you as Catherina Capone and they can make their own assumptions. If there are any queries we will talk around it, don’t you worry.” “And if someone comes to me and asked me directly?” “Ask you what directly.” Enzo asked. “Come on Enzo what if someone asked me ‘So are you going to be the new head of the ring?’” “I don’t think there is anymore people left that will ask you that directly.” “Well for one Marchetti Jnr will.” John looked at me and I looked at him; fuck we have to tell her but just that it was a gas leak nothing and I mean nothing else. “Sorry angel but the whole Marchetti family passed away this week.” “Oh my God how? Was it one of us?” “No no nothing like that although the police are sniffing around but it was a gas leak at their home the place is burned to the ground with them in it.” “That is so sad.” She said. Nope not Mafia boss material if she is sorry for people who wanted her dead.
“Well, the main thing now is we don’t have to worry about the Marchetti’s anymore or the Profaci’s so I don’t think anyone will ask you.” “But what if they do?” She insisted. “Well then you say you are stepping into your role slowly and still learning.” “But that’s a lie.” “Angel, we can’t tell them that we will be running things it has to be a Capone.” She was quiet for a while before she said, “Well why don’t one of you marry me take my last name and run the place.” Okay maybe I’m wrong she does have instincts. I looked at John and John at me because we have talked about it. “Honestly angel I have thought of that, but….” She interrupted me “But it is all 4 of you or none of you. I get it.” She dropped her head in her hands and shook her head. Then she started to talk. “I didn’t ask to be in this life? I didn’t ask for you guys to come and look for me. I can’t do this.” John slipped over to her and pulled her into his arms “Love please if we didn’t find you when you did you would have been dead.” “Well, being the boss isn’t much better, how many people wanted me dead so far?” “Angel look how you took over that meeting in my office, I mean fuck that was hot and you were in total control, all of us were in Awe of you.” “It’s easy to pretend for a few hours Enzo but not for months or years and besides didn’t they come for me just after that meeting?” She asked. She did have valid points.
Cat
I didn’t want to be here; I wanted the men don’t get me wrong but I didn’t want to be the Mafia Princess the Mafia boss of the Chicago ring. I wanted a normal life all I ever dreamed about when I allowed myself to dream of a better life, was a house with a husband that adores me and maybe just maybe a child but never in my wildest dreams have I ever thought that this would be my decisions I had to make. And everything and I mean everything depends on my week with Nico. If that is a flop then all this, all the feelings I have for these men will be the end of me because they will leave me and I will be stuck to fend for myself. I started to cry which caught Enzo and John a bit by surprise. “Angel why are you crying?” Enzo asked rubbing my leg while John was rubbing my back. “I don’t want to lose you and I feel like everything and I mean everything depends on my week with Nico. If that doesn’t work you will throw me out and I will have no way of living anymore I will go back to my crappy apartment and maybe work at one of John’s Bodega’s.” John came to sit in front of me on the table he took my cheeks in his hands and said. “Love we will never and I mean never abandoned you, yes we might not have a sexual relationship anymore but we will never throw you out and besides you are rich we’ve told you your father left you everything, you won’t have to live in that old apartment or ever work again.” Enzo squeezed my leg “And I will still build the house for you in my back yard.” “You know that will never work Enzo and besides if I lose you guys, I could just as well lose everything.” “Don’t talk like that.” John said still looking at me. “It’s the truth and if I have to be totally honest with the two of you, I have fallen in love with both of you and Frank and my heart will be in pieces if I can’t have you in my life anymore. It would be like another family has been ripped from me.”
