I approach the big ornate door and knock twice.
“Enter,” a male voice says from the other side.
I walk inside the office belonging to the boss of the New York Cosa
Nostra Family, my green heels clicking on the polished floor as I approach.
“You wanted to see me, Don Ajello,” I say in my sweetest voice.
Salvatore Ajello’s eyes drift from my grass-green dress to the top of my
head and stop on my bun. Feathers are sticking out of it, the same color as
my dress. It took me months to find the exact shade.
“Have a seat, Sienna.” He nods at the chair opposite him.
I drop into the chair and smooth out my dress, wondering why he called
me. It’s not every day that someone as meaningless as me, as far as the
Cosa Nostra hierarchy is concerned, gets invited to a private meeting with
the don.
Ajello leans back and regards me. There’s something disturbing in his
gaze, and it makes me feel like I’m being dissected.
“Your sister got married a while back,” he says. “You two were very
close.”
“We are close, yes.”
“But she’s in Chicago now. It must be hard for you.”
“Asya loves it there, and I’m happy for her.” I grin, trying to keep my
voice casual. He really knows how to pick the nerve to poke.
“It’s important to make sure one’s family is happy. And what about
Arturo?”
I narrow my eyes at him. Is there a point to this conversation? “What
about him?”
“Your brother is thirty-six, Sienna. He’ll probably marry soon. Have his
own family. What will you do when that happens? Will you stay with him
and be a third wheel?”
Every word he says buries itself like a dagger into my chest. I already
feel bad for spending my days doing nothing but hanging out with my
friends or reading while Arturo works the entire time. Months ago, I
promised myself I’d find a business program to attend so I could finally
start doing something with my life, but I still haven’t done anything about
it.
“I would never stand in the way of my brother’s happiness,” I say.
“When that happens, I’ll probably move out. Find a job.”
“Why didn’t you go to college? Is that still in your plans?”
“I’m not college material, Don Ajello.”
“No? And yet, you speak several languages. Arturo told me you learned
them all on your own.”
“Yes. Italian. English, obviously. Spanish and Portuguese. And I have
some knowledge of Russian and Japanese.” Does he need a translator for
something?
“How long would it take you to learn a new language?” he asks.
“Um, well. It depends. Just speaking or writing as well?”
“Good enough that you can understand what’s being said. No writing.”
I think about it for a moment. “Three months. Maybe four. Depending on
the language.”
