Chapter 8 - HIS FUTURE WIFE
Proposal private.
At their apartment kitchen.
Ledger? no cliché. A simple ring.
He asks.
She says "Do you expect yes because you've been patient?" "No." Good.
She accepts.
One week later old Falcone family dinner for Lorenzo’s mother 75th birthday perhaps. Many old associates. Meline attends as fiancée but no public announcement. Dominic Greco or Peter? We already had Greco. Another older man, Salvatore Costa, mocks plus-size / auditor. “Still letting accountant run books and bedroom?” Need mature.
Lorenzo stands perhaps.
But Meline responds first. Then Lorenzo publicly calls future wife.
Important not rescue. He says "For clarity, Meline is not staff. She is my future wife, and if that changes how you speak, you have learned nothing." Great line.
Then old mother approves maybe. But title says everyone mocked? Could include past, not all now.
Then Vescari threat resolution.

Final chapter years later, Meline partner in own forensic firm? Maybe she starts whistleblower consultancy. Lorenzo legitimate. Wedding. No children maybe. Happy. She is not “boss lady” in mafia. Keeps career.
Let's continue.
