The Donna’s Rejected Daughter, the Don’s Chosen Bride

My mother was the Donna of the Moretti Family. Her favorite saying was, “There can be no favoritism in this family.”

Which was why she always treated my cousin Vivian better than she treated me.

She brought home a rare pair of black opal bracelets from overseas, only to fasten them around Vivian's wrists right in front of me.

“They look better on Vivian. You're too tanned. Don't waste them.”

When the Bellandi Family sent us two bottles of vintage wine, Mother gave both to Vivian before I even saw the bottles.
