“I Have Dinner Plans This Friday” — The Obsessed Mafia Boss Snapped When His Accountant Said She Was Seeing Another Man
Chapter 13
When Ethan turned sixteen, Luca finally told him the truth.
Not every detail.
Enough.
Ethan listened.
He was quiet.
“Was Mom scared of you?”
Luca looked at Mia.
“At first.”
“Why did she stay?”
“Because I learned to give her a choice.”
Ethan nodded.
“Did you love her?”
“More than anything.”
“Even before she liked you?”
Luca laughed.
“Unfortunately.”
Ethan smiled.
Mia joined them.
She told him the story of the dinner.
The jealousy.
The danger.
The investigation.
The decision to leave the criminal world.
Ethan looked at his father.
“You’re different now.”
Luca nodded.
“I had to be.”
“Why?”
“Because you were coming.”
That answer stayed with Ethan.
He understood that parents weren’t perfect.
They made mistakes.
They could change.
What mattered was whether they chose responsibility.
Ethan hugged his father.
Mia watched.
The family had survived.
