Chapter 32: Shall We Skate?

Antoni P.O.V

Antoni can’t sleep.

He sits up in bed and runs frustrated hands down his face, groaning. His heart is wrung into twisted knots while his throat feels dry and swollen. No amount of water or alcohol has been able to cool it all night.

He knows he handled the situation badly. He should’ve been more open to Victoria’s proposition, listen more closely to her logic. Because it was right. Marcello Bianchi has already declared the Russo family as targets, all of them receiving The Kiss of Death.

Dante explained how the only reason the other mafia families have yet to act on the declaration is due to the years of respect and fear they harbor toward Signor Giuseppe. Though, Antoni supposed that their hatred toward Marcello and his backward, cruel behavior plays a major part in their delay too.

His father isn’t the only one who would much rather the Russo family keep ruling the dark mafia kingdom instead of the Bianchi.
