Francesca wasn’t happy in the least about Samuel Scuderi insisting that Brian stay back at the house while Michael drove her and her brother to meet Vincent’s jet when it landed. And to make matters worse, her brother would be abandoning her right after that to go home. According to Samuel, he was sure that she and her husband were going to have a lot of things to talk about that Brian probably shouldn’t hear. He was certainly right about that. But as much as those conversations with Vincent needed to happen soon, there were now more important things on the agenda.

Michael had driven the car. Gerald and Francesca were in the back seat. Now the car was parked outside a small hanger. They all watched as the small executive jet taxied up toward the hanger and parked right outside. “Let me go in first to see if he wants to see you on the plane or if he’s coming out,” Gerald told her.

Francesca nodded. “Thanks,” she replied, but as her brother opened his car door, she opened her door and got out too. She was still wearing the same lousy dress she had worn the night before, and she also still didn’t have any makeup. Like it or not, she was about to meet her husband looking as low as she possibly could. About as low as the life she had been living for the last few years.

She walked to a place halfway between the jet and the car. She stood there standing as tall and proud as she could manage, but her stomach felt ready to throw up. She shouldn’t have eaten breakfast, but appearances were everything right now. This was about to be the worst moment of her life. Even worse than hearing that her father had been murdered. Still, she was a Giordano. She was also Vincent’s wife. She stood tall and proud, like a queen.

She watched as the steps were lowered and her brother ran up them into the jet. Would her husband come out to her, or would she go in to face him alone? She didn’t know. Her brother was back only a few seconds later. Too soon for him to have told her husband anything. She waited until Gerald got all the way back to her.

“He’s ready for you,” he said.

“How does he seem?” she asked.

“To be honest, you know Vince. I can’t tell.”

Not good. For a moment, she slumped in disappointment, but she quickly straightened her spine and looked at the steps leading up into the little jet. She forced her feet to walk in that direction. Too soon, she was climbing those steps as they led her into the interior of her husband’s private plane. It was the same jet she had flown countless times before. She knew every inch of it. She knew where he would be sitting, and he was. Their eyes met. He was older now, but still just as handsome as ever. And his face appeared serious.
