Chapter 104

Stopping the Fight
Mandy’s POV
Don Mucci picks up on the second ring. I don’t waste any time I get straight to the point. “Hey it’s me, I didn’t know things got as serious as they have between you and Matteo. I don’t want anyone fighting on my account. So, I am calling to say thank you for being there for me when I needed you, but I am afraid that our friendship has come to an end. Please don’t try to save me, or attack Matteo. I am making this decision by myself. It’s the best option. There is no sense on a war breaking out between our families over me. You are a great guy who will find a woman with a lot less baggage than me and the two of you will be happy. In a different life maybe the two of us would have worked out. This is goodbye for good. I’ve already got one death that weighs on me, I can’t take anymore. I’ll miss you more than you will ever know.”
