Married to the Don, Forgotten by Him

Dominic had a rule. No one outside the family stayed overnight.

Six years of marriage, and even my parents never got an exception.

Last year my mother took the subway in from Brooklyn with a cast on her leg. She had a follow-up with the orthopedist in Manhattan the next morning and wanted to stay one night. Just one.

Dominic pulled me into the bedroom and shut the door.

""Your mother snores. I have a sit-down with the Lucianos tomorrow morning. You want me walking in there half-asleep?""
