Chapter 92.
Courtney POV.
I waited all of maybe two seconds before the wives all erupted, screaming profanities and threats in rapid Italian at their husbands while the daughters cried, clutching their mothers.
The looks on the don’s faces… Priceless.
This was a dirty tactic, but still a tactic none the less. I leaned back in my chair as I watched the drama unfold. Kaden even handed me a bag of chips. So I could watch in comfortable
silence.
Words and voices morphed together and I couldn’t keep up with what the women were threatening and the don’s panicked. Yeah, they panicked, trying to dig themselves out of the hole they had dug for themselves, which only made it worse.
“Antonio, you do this and I will divorce you.” One of the wives screamed with tears streaming down her face. I stopped mid crunch and my eyes widened. Oh, she meant business. A divorce in the mafia world never happens. It is considered bad luck.
The other wives echo the same threat and the daughters threaten to disown their fathers for
being monsters.
“Honey–cake, you want to divorce me because of something so trivial. We were arranged, or did you forget?” Antonio says to his wife, Geda. She was from a powerful family, and their marriage was not easy. I did my research. Antonio had plenty of goomars or mistresses as they are known, and he never considered Geda in any of it.
“I didn’t forget, but you seem to. If I divorce you, then your alliance with my family is given back to me. You and your organisation are nothing without me. So tell me, Antonio, are you willing to lose everything to trade our daughter like a brood mare so you can gain more? Are you willing to sacrifice everything for your own ego?” Ohhh, she’s good.
“Honey–cake, this is the way it is in our world and you know it. I love you both and I’m doing what is right. Our marriage is happy don’t you want that for her?” Oh no, he didn’t just try that
old bullshit.
“You don’t love them at all.” I interject again mid crunch. All eyes turn to me. The wives hug
and console their daughters as I stare down Antonio from across the conference table.
“You have no say in this. You caused this and I won’t stand for it.” He spits his anger, pointing
a finger at me, but I ignore it and I suck the flavour of my chips off my fingers and roll my eyes

at his petulance and blame.
“I’m right, you don’t love them. If you loved your wife, you wouldn’t be sleeping with countless women. If you loved them, you wouldn’t be willing to sell off your daughter to some cruel man who is known for hurting women. But you already know that, right?” I say as I look right at
him.
“Surely you did your own background check on the man you are forcing your daughter on. Oh,
you did, and you knew what he would do to her, yet like the pig you are, you didn’t care about
her or your wife, only what you would get out of it. Geda, if you want to divorce this thing, then
do it. This is why I’m here, to stop arrogant, self righteous assholes like you who only give a
s**t about power. You have no regard for anything or anyone unless you get what you want.
Ladies, I take it you don’t want any of this bullshit?” I say and the women shake their heads.
“Well then, y’all know what you need to do. You ladies hold the true power. It is time for a
change in leadership. This tradition was set down by men. Old, crusty, impotent men who
have big d**k ego but are rather lacking in that department all to further secure their hold on
power. Take your power back. Divorce their asses and watch them squirm.” I say, waving my
hand in the air. Katya chuckles, and so do the people I brought with me.
“You need to shut your mouth!” One of the other don’s pipes up and I turn my fiery gaze on
him. He is red in the face and looks like he will end up having steam coming from his ears
and nose.
“And you need to sit the f**k down and realise that we hold the true power. Not you, us. So tell me, are you all willing to lose your wives, daughters, and power? Because that is what will happen if you don’t align yourself with us. Ladies, I give you my word, there will be no marriage alliances going forward, divorce will not be frowned upon, and you and your beautiful daughters can live peacefully and safely. Only if these old fools give in to change. If not, we will help you all leave their sorry asses and take back what was given in exchange for your marriage.” I say and the dons all look pissed and I smirk. Hit them where it hurts.
Their fragile ego, their pride and most importantly their wallets.
“You can’t do this!” One of the dons screams and Katya stands up and glares at them.
“Oh, we can and we will. I killed my father for this very reason. You see, you men are small. You think you have conquered the world, but in fact, you have conquered nothing. You would lose your positions, your companies, everything if it wasn’t for these beauties you call wives. you do not resect them. Don’t even try to deny it. You don’t respect them. You use the tradition of taking a mistress as your right, that it is tradition to do so. When really it is just

your conscious making it seem right to cheat on your wives. That will be also be outlawed. So ladies, I’m done with this bullshit. My lawyers are ready to issue divorce papers and property transfer. You will all get everything that was agreed in the original contracts and
compensation for every year you were married, plus alimony and your daughters will also get
compensation, for emotional damages.” Katya is so f*****g smooth. She is the one you need
to watch. Clever, cunning, and as cold as ice.
Move over Elsa, there is a new ice queen in town.
“So what do you say?” I ask as I look at each don in the room. My gaze lands on my momma
and she is smiling just watching us. She is proud of me and a piece of the wall I build around
me cracks.
The dons look at their wives and daughters and the wives are glaring at them, like they will
breathe hell fire and burn their empires to the ground in a blaze of ash and glory.
“You have my allegiance.” Don Antonio is the first to say. Then slowly, one by one, the other
don’s follow suit.
“Fabulous, well, Fabio, can you please bring the new contracts?” I say and Fabio does as I have asked and the dons all read the pages. I look at the wives and they wink at me. They
were in on it and they all deserve a reward for their amazing acting skills. A two week all paid
vacation to a destination of their choice complete with everything they would want. Including
full access to their husband’s money with no resistance from them.
“You will outlaw the marriages, and goomars?” I nod my head and the dons look at each other.
“Yeah, we will. It is time y’all showed respect to your women. They should have your loyalty, after all. They have sacrificed their innocence for you and their families. It is time you did the same. You will also receive a better rate on your product and guns. We are also offering you trade in Russia. You join us, you will become part of the Cosa Nostra and Bratva, and all your territories will be under our rule. You will still run those territories, but you will answer to us.” I
say as I watch the dons pick up the pen and sign their names on every page.
I look at the wives once more and they all mouth thank you and I nod once.
“Oh, read the last page before you sign it.” I say and the dons do and I watch with a twisted sense of delight as their faces change.
“What is this?” One of them asks as he gulps.
“That is just a precaution. If you break this allegiance or any of the conditions in this contract. Then your title as don and all your properties will go to your wives. You will also be given a

your own medicine. Let’s see how you like it, knowing your wives are sleeping with
someone other than you. Younger, stronger, more endowed. After all, what is good for the
goose is good for the gander.”
