The Don's Wife Wore My Face
1.2k Views · Ongoing · Daisy Swift
Halfway through the family's celebration dinner, the big screen started looping a video nobody was meant to see.
A man and a woman half undressed on the bed. She kept her face turned from the camera.
He didn't — it was Kai Voss, the Don's most trusted capo, caught clean on film.
The ballroom went silent. At the head table, the Don's face turned to stone.
Her face stayed turned away the whole time. It didn't matter. The jaw, the hair, the way she moved — it was Liora Marrick. The Don's wife.
My sister.
A capo who touches his boss's wife doesn't lose his rank. He gets taken downstairs and never comes back.
Kai's eyes locked onto mine, begging and threatening at once.
I'd given him what he wanted once before. I'd stood up in this room and said the woman was me — because I loved him, and because Liora and I shared seven parts of the same face.
That lie bought me a wedding, a cellar, and a back-room table where Kai's rush to heal my sister cost me the ability to ever have children.
I died screaming.
Now I was back, and the screen was still looping.
Then I lifted a hand to my mouth.
"Oh. That woman in the video. Doesn't she look a lot like Liora?"
