Union Of Death (Secrets of The Famiglia Part 2)

“Mercer Island has its beauty, but it’s fuckin’ cold.” Filippo murmurs, looking out to the water.

“Want some?” Deno asks extending the joint they decided to smoke.

Xander looks at me from the top part of the boat, where he is sitting with Marco and Camilla laughing about something. I had to give the guy credit when he tried to sit next to me. However, Filippo and Gabriel beat him to the punch. They more like pushed him away. I drop my gaze from his when Marco catches me staring and Camilla whisper’s something in his ear.

“Guilia was just telling me your art is getting Exhibited in a few months.” Leonardo yells from the bottom of the boat, where Guilia, him and Mischa are sitting.

“I am, Gabriel is going to be my male model,” I say back as Gabriel grabs me by the waist and starts tickling me and I scream when Filippo joins.

“Oh my gosh, it is so freaking cold. I need a hot bath and thick piece of that chocolate cake, Liya.”

“Cake? Your skin needs to be clear before the wedding. You already have a few zits around your chin,” Camilla says as Mischa runs to the bathroom.

“Zits go away, and their marriage is arranged. It isn’t like Leonardo can call off the wedding if he wanted to. And I doubt he’d want that,” I wink at my sister as she drops her gaze, saying nothing. I am not sure if it’s because she still thinks I have feelings for him or the truth behind my words.

“Maybe but it would decide whether she remains the only one. We live in a world where a man is king and we are peasants,” Camilla argues as we walk toward the stairs leading to the rooms.
