The Donna Seat He Gave Away

Contract wife sidelined when Mafia husband seats rival's sister in Donna's chair.

Three months into a contract marriage brokered to erase her father's blood debt, the unnamed narrator attends a Visconti-Vitali truce banquet as Lucas Visconti's secret wife. The sealed seating chart assigns Vitali negotiator Sophia the far end, yet Lucas waves her to the Donna's place beside him. Both families' consiglieri protest the breach, but Lucas invokes Sophia's brother's sacrifice six years prior and claims full responsibility. During dinner he intercepts every toast meant for Sophia while ignoring the narrator entirely. When broken glass cuts her wrist, she removes the obsidian ring marking inner-circle membership and sets it on the table, signaling she holds the secrets binding both families.
