I look around the room and I recognize a few of the Dons and their right-hand men from the meeting earlier this week. Every family has their own tables, I hear people talking in all type of different languages and accents.
âSo, are these all mafia families from the states?â I lean over to Alessia.
âMost of them. I see some have brought over their people from Italy and I see some people of the Canadian branches.â Alessia replies.
âSo⦠This is kind of a big deal then?â
âYes, it is. All the families are somehow connected. And seeing as the DiSanti family is the leading family, people come to pay respect. And to see if they can stir trouble of course.â
âHow often do you do these kinds of events?â
âThe last one for our family was fifty years ago when my father received his crown.â
âAnd for the other families?â
âFor them we do it differently, itâs much smaller, itâs more of a little gathering of the Dons for the new head of that family to declare the oath too them.â
I just nod.
Lorenzo and Bella join our table and I stand to hug them both. Lorenzo gives me a big bear hug and lifts me off the ground.
âYou look amazing, Harper!â He proclaims.
He puts me back down on the ground and I turn to give Bella a hug. Sheâs wearing a loose navy ballgown with a puffy skirt and a sweetheart neckline, she looks like a princess with her hair in tight brown curls.
âDid you have to bring a date to this?â Alessia says to Lorenzo, her voice filled with irritation because of the woman next to him.
âDoes it matter? Itâs not like the world doesnât know who or what we are and do. Those cops outside are all paid for by us. So, me taking somebody as my date shouldnât be the end of the world. This is Amelia by the way, so nice of you to ask.â
âHi, Amelia, Iâm Harper.â I stick out my hand to shake hers. Everyone takes their seat and the MC takes the stage. Weâll start off with a five-course dinner, afterwards Alessia will speak the oath. Itâs crazy how my life flipped like this and now Iâm a part of some mafia coronation of my girlfriend.
During dinner we get to know Amelia and we talk about simple things like clothes and books.
The sun has already set when the MC invites Alessia and the other Dons out on stage. The Don that I know as Don Manchini takes the microphone.
âWelcome families, welcome guests. Seeing as Don DiSanti has passed recently, I will have the honor to crown your new queen. But first miss DiSanti must speak the oath.â He hands her the mic and holds out a bible to her. Alessia lays her right hand on the bible and speaks.
âIn the presence of those who walk the same shadowed path, I swear on my blood, my soul, and my life.
I vow eternal loyalty to the Family,
To stand by my brothers and sisters through fire and betrayal.
