Excerpt
Will
leans back heavily in his desk chair and sweat pricks the back of his neck. A
tight band squeezes his chest, but he manages to ask, “What do you mean we can
get divorced? Did Frankie and his new bride call it quits?”
Eleanora’s
throaty chuckle comes through the phone. “No, darling. They’re still madly in
love for now. It’s Romeo Molinaro we have to thank for this piece of good
fortune.”
Will
frowns, mind scrambling through dozens of half-forgotten or never-known
relatives.
“Zeno’s
favorite nephew,” Eleanora prompts.
“Oh.
Right.”
Zeno
is the current boss of the Molinaro family, his father’s uncle, and a
terrifying man.
“Unfortunate
marriages are going around like the flu in this family. It seems Romeo got
hitched to a fetching ragazza. Charming, beautiful, young—the usual. But, as it
turns out, also a spy from the Korotayev crime family in New York.” Nonna
clucks over the line. “Oh, men. Following the dictates of their little heads
always leads to their downfall.”
Bright
sunshine screams through the window of the room, ricocheting around and giving
Will an instant headache. “If she’s a spy, why arrange a divorce? Why doesn’t
Zeno just—” Will drags his finger over his throat even though Nonna can’t see
him. “Off her?”
“How
like your father!” Eleanora puffs her disapproval. “No, no, darling. That’s no
solution. Besides, Romeo begged his father not to kill her. Apparently he’s
still smitten. But don’t worry. There will be some other kind of recompense
paid, I’m sure. William, the less we know about it all, the better.”
Will
exhales slowly. He stands up, turns to the windows behind his desk, and adjusts
the blinds, dimming the light. “Romeo’s still in love with her? But he’s going
to divorce her anyway?”
“Presumably.
Regardless, Zeno’s quote-unquote discovered a loophole in the Trust that
smashes through the edict regarding love matches and divorces.”
“Dad
knew about this the whole time he was in town, didn’t he? He was just messing
with us.”
“We’ll
never know for sure, darling. All I know is he told me about Romeo’s situation
and Zeno’s solution this morning before his flight out. Regardless, the issue
is resolved. You and your doctor are free to handle your marriage as you see
fit and Good Works is safe.”
Will
stomach knots hard, and he stares at the lines of light the closed blinds leave
on his desk. “We could file for divorce immediately? Today?”
“You
could. That is, if it’s still what you want to do.”
