“I learned that from watching the Sopranos,” I say proudly.
“The Sopranos will definitely give you a crash course in the mafia life,” Lexis states.
“The women today are a little different than they were back in the day. I’d say we’re more cutthroat.” A sinister smile curls Carmen’s lips.
“We like to torture packages who flirt with our husbands, then kill them.” Carmen flashes an evil grin.
I rise from my seat. “Well, it was nice to meet you all, but I think we’re done here.”
Their pretty eyes stare at me like a deer in headlights.
“Were the packages too much too soon?” Carmen asks.
“Not too soon. Perfect timing. I was cut open by a mafia woman.” I lift my blouse and show them the scar.
Their hands fly over their mouths.
“You see, I didn’t know the man I was fucking in college was engaged to another woman. A mafia woman. And I had no idea he was in the mafia.”
Nadine's fingers rub at her temple.
I told them how I found out he was in the mafia. And that he told me about Norah.
“He said their marriage would be on paper only. It was a business transaction. She clearly wasn’t hearing what he said because she sought out to kill me. Even though I told Nick I couldn’t be with him because he was in the mafia. She didn’t know. I’m not sure it mattered either way. She wanted me dead. First, she had six frat boys rape me. And later that night, she sliced me open like a pig. She thought I’d come after her fucking mafia throne,” I grit out.
Tears stream down their faces as I tell my story.
“I was saved by a very brave woman. She made sure I was taken care of. I recently found out it was Nick's sister Natalia who saved my life.”
I also told them how I lost my baby.
They gathered around me and hugged me tightly.
Fresh tears sprung to my eyes. Why did I feel so comfortable around these ladies?
They help me to my seat and place a box of Kleenex in front of me.
“When I came into this world, I was so naïve,” Carmen says.
“Dominic was arranged to marry a woman. He called off the arrangement with her. That didn’t go over well. She kidnapped Dominic. He would rather die than not have me in his life.” She sniffles, lifting her head high.
“I killed that crazy bitch. Sure, the ordeal left me a little batty, but aren’t we all special,” she laughs.
“When we talk about killing packages. We’re talking about women who blatantly disrespect us. We always give women the benefit of the doubt. We don’t kill just to do it. These women know exactly why they’re on our tables,” Lexis adds.
“In my case, the woman was upset and hurt. He didn’t want to marry her. So she sought out vengeance,” Carmen says.
“My husband keeps me in a castle because his ex-best friend who raped me has a twin brother and my doppelgänger is out there somewhere, ready to kill me.”
I take her hand in mind. “I’m so sorry that happened to you.”
“Thank you,” she replies.
“I got my revenge. Were you able to get yours?” Lexis asks.
“I was able to take care of one. He was handled Dexter style.”
They cheer and raise their glasses.
