“He fucked up,” Gian says and doesn’t should elaborate. There’s just one he on this state of affairs.
“No kidding.”
“You fucked up too.”
I’m about to inform him off, however I cease myself. “I do know.”
“You must’ve advised us straight away. I imply, it is a large deal. You married an Irish lady. You bought her pregnant. And also you hid it from everybody.”
“I do know what I did.”
“Renzo feels such as you stabbed him within the again.”
“I perceive that.”
“However he was nonetheless fallacious.” Gian takes a protracted drink and leans deeper into his chair. “Come to the home with me. We’ll discuss to him.”
“No.”
“He’ll hear. It’s been just a few days. He’ll have cooled off by now. We will discuss how everybody is aware of they’re within the fallacious and work out what we’re going to do from right here.”
“No, Gian. He kicked me out of the household. He did that.”
“It was an emotional determination.”
“And he nonetheless made it.” I lean ahead, hunching my shoulders. I really feel so drained and exhausted. “All my life, I’ve carried out nothing however obey. You bear in mind what it was like after we have been children. Renzo acquired all of Dad’s consideration as a result of he was going to be Don sooner or later. In the meantime, I fought like hell to tell apart myself whereas additionally taking care of you and Carlo.”
“Principally Carlo,” Gian murmurs.
“I busted my ass for this household. I did greater than Renzo even realizes. And I by no means as soon as requested for something in return as a result of that’s not the way it works, proper? All of us give every little thing. We’ve this cash, this energy, this fucking privilege, and in change it drains us of no matter we have now left. I assumed Renzo understood that, however perhaps not.”
“Renzo’s been at battle for too lengthy. All he can see is black and white now. Give him an opportunity.”
“I killed for him. I practically acquired killed for him. I did every little thing he requested, and once I lastly made a mistake, as a substitute of speaking to me and attempting to grasp, he fucking banishes me. He says I’m useless to him. He takes away my place and leaves me with—” I gesture within the air at nothing. “I can’t return there.”
Gian swirls his glass. Ice clinks as he locations it down on the steel desk. “You’re each so fucking cussed.”
“No shit. We’re Rossi males.”
“That is absurd. That lady clearly has nothing to do with the Lynch Clan, even when her cousin and her uncle have been members. Your solely mistake was protecting her from everybody, however given the circumstances, it’s fairly apparent why you probably did it. All you’re responsible of is getting a woman pregnant and marrying her.”
“It’s greater than that. I fell in love.”
“You poor bastard.”
I chuckle and end my drink earlier than getting up. I tempo away, feeling stressed. “Of all folks, I assumed he’d perceive. It’s not like what occurred with Maddie was deliberate. She was handy for him on the time, and take a look at them now. He didn’t wish to fall in love. I didn’t wish to both. It simply occurred.”
“Renzo’s discovering it laborious separating his duties because the Don and his position as our brother. That’s one thing I’m engaged on with him.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not going to vary. You understand how he’s. The world revolves across the Don’s will, proper? You place a man like Renzo in that place and it’s like he remodeled into fucking Jesus.”
“That’s overstating it just a little bit.” Gian stands, holding his fingers out at his sides. “Come again to the home with me. I do know you’re offended and I get that you simply’re harm. However we will repair this.”
“I don’t wish to repair a goddamn factor. I need Renzo to be a greater brother.”
“Yeah, and I need a golden dick.”
My eyebrows elevate. “What the hell would you do with a golden dick?”
