Before I Forget His Name

My social psychology professor gave us a simple assignment: text the words I love you to the family member we were closest to, then record their first reaction. My parents had died seven years earlier in an ambush meant for the DeLuca family. With no one else to text, I sent the message to Roman DeLuca -the youngest Don in New York's underworld and the man the court had once appointed as my temporary guardian. The typing bubble appeared and disappeared all night. At two in the morning, his answer finally came. [Mara, don't confuse dependence with love. Whatever exists between us can never cross that line.] The next day, he stripped away every privilege he had ever given me, disconnected our private line, and ordered his underboss, Luca, to stop reporting anything about me. When I went to DeLuca Tower in Lower Manhattan, security blocked me at the revolving doors. "The Don's exact words were that we could let a rival family walk in tonight, but not you." After that, whenever Roman saw me at a party or in a hallway, he left first. He kept it up for six months. Then a doctor told me an aggressive, high-grade glioma was growing inside my brain. It was pressing into the part that held l

Cast Out as Old-Fashioned, I Watched the Mafia Fall Apart

Last night I received notice that the Family was cutting me loose. The explanation was flimsy: my thinking was outdated, I refused to modernize, and I was seriously obstructing the Family's expansion. That morning, my fiance stopped me in the corridor, his expression icy. "Kelly was right. Someone as stubborn and inflexible as you only holds the Family back. "And don't blame me for cutting you. You offended someone you shouldn't have." Kelly leaned against the railing, surrounded by her men, and watched me with a smug smile. She was the Don's own niece. Two weeks earlier, she had been parachuted in to take over the Family's core operations, using reform as an excuse to purge every elder. At the Family meeting yesterday, I rejected her reckless expansion plan in front of everyone. Kelly shot me a cold glance from the crowd, contempt sharpening her voice. "Certain old relics who can't move with the times outlived their usefulness long ago. Clinging to power only drags the whole Family down. "If you know what's good for you, get out." My expression remained unreadable. Without a word, I signed the papers withdrawing from the Family. What she didn't know was that I had never needed to

"My brother, Alexander Ashford, conquered Wall Street at 18, while my sister, Isabella Ashford, earned two PhDs by 20. I'm the youngest daughter of the filthy-rich Ashford family. Ever since childhood, I've been slow-witted and barely able to speak, earning a reputation in our social circle as a mute and idiot. That is, until this day, when Ashford Group gets hit with a hostile short-sell and sits right on the edge of bankruptcy. My dad, Richard Ashford, sits there with his face turning gray, while Alexander tears through the fine print looking for a single loophole. And Jeffrey Hart, our chief legal counsel of ten years, has already been bought off.“Just sign it. I've gone over the terms. It's airtight. ” I’m so irritated by the sound that I couldn't keep pretending anymore.

Then, I clearly deliver my very first words in the Ashford family.“The main contract and the addendum have a direct jurisdictional conflict. Sign this, and the Ashfords won't just walk away broke. You'll be ten billion dollars in debt!”"
