“Her father dies,” I immediately lead with the change of plans as we sit in on another meeting with none other than Dante fucking Vendetti. I suppose I should be pleased with the prospect of us discovering a mutual ground we can work together on rather than going to war with the New York mob. Doesn’t mean I’m thrilled with being in the tosser’s presence today, or any day for that matter.

“Hm. I thought your fiancée’s papa was a crucial part of your bargaining for the other famiglia’s whereabouts. Didn’t you say you needed him for a vote?” he states, and I nod.

“Indeed. However, she’s to be taught a lesson.”

He grunts but says nothing in return. He needn’t comment on it though. I already heard a full spiel from Thaddaeus about me potentially messing everything up. He should have more faith, as I know what I’m doing, and in Ismerlda’s case, how far I can push her. “I’ve discussed your proposition with my fratelli. The Capo accepts your terms of peace and agrees to hold up his end of the bargain. You give me the information I seek, I kill whomever I see fit and in the end, only two names remain at the Table of the Five Famiglias.”

“Thaddaeus Morelli and Matteo Vendetti,” I respond for everyone, tilting my head towards T. This is all for him. Vendetti may be at the table alongside him for the time being, but there’s no mistake in my mind that the Joker will run Chicago. He’s already feared and respected throughout the city, but this turn of events will finally shoot him to where he wants and deserves to be.

Thaddaeus finally breaks his silence. “This is the beginning to a strong partnership. Many doors will be opened with us being at peace and at the table together.”

“My Capo agrees. I’ll finish out the task of taking out the entire famiglia lines of the Five as ordered. I’ll remain in Chicago, of course, as the Vendetti seat and acting liaison between you and the Vendetti Empire.”

“I look forward to doing business with you.” T holds out his hand across the table as he stands. Dante shakes it, repeating the sentiment. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, my wife needs me. Maximillian has the information you’ve been searching for and he can offer some assistance if you require it as well. Until next time.”

“Next time,” Dante agrees, and we take our seats as the boss leaves us behind. “You have what I need?” he asks, not wasting another moment. I expect he doesn’t enjoy my presence as much as I don’t his.

I nod and share, “I killed Marco Vittorio. As well as his entire family, bunch of whiny babbling pricks. Should’ve been done long ago.”

He bristles, which is exactly the opposite of what I was anticipating. “That wasn’t the deal. We agreed to locations and intel.”

My muscles tighten at his gruff tone. He should be thanking me for doing his dirty work, not getting his knickers in a wad.
