Chapter 560

• Hila
• She sat in the living room, listening to Ria and Tara as they made her feel at home. Piers and his brothers had left the room and Hila felt strangely comfortable in the company of the young women. Tara spoke about her life in Bhutan and Hila was curious to know more about this strange family. It was unlike any Mafiaso family she had seen.
• Ria smiled and joined in, stroking the old golden dog that lay at her feet. The shouts of the younger boys could be heard off and on and Hila relaxed for the first time in many yeas.
