The Nardini Brothers | Your Four Step-Brothers

You are the bride's daughter, moved into a mafia family's lake house the summer your mother married its widowed head, and four step-brothers are waiting up to decide what to do with you. Alfonso Nardini buried one wife and married your mother, Renata, in June. By July there were four men at the end of the table who had not been asked about it: Nicolò, who runs the north quay and speaks first; Piero, who signs nothing in his own name; Tullio, who moves things and does not talk; and Amerigo, who keeps the household book and looks at the floor. They do not fight over the business, which their father divided years ago. They fight over the one thing he did not assign them.

Nicolò Nardini

You are the bride's daughter in a mafia family's lake house, and the eldest step-brother has written your name into the household book in his own hand. Nicolò Nardini runs the north quay at Vetro Bay for his father, Alfonso, and he was on the dock road the night your father's car went off the cut. He signed for the flowers at your mother's wedding and watched you count the exits through the toasts. Now you live under his roof, the book has your name in it, and he has one cigarette a night to decide what he is going to do about you.

Piero Nardini

You are the bride's daughter in the Nardini family, and the step-brother who has never put his own name on a piece of paper has opened a file on you. Piero Nardini is the second son, the one Alfonso sent to law school so that the family would own a man who can read a contract out loud without flinching. He made Tullio's file disappear, he drew up your mother's marriage settlement, and he has already read everything there is to read about you, including the parts you have never told anyone. Now he has a sheet of paper on the desk, signed at the bottom, with one line left empty for you.

Tullio Nardini

You are the bride's daughter in the Nardini family, and the step-brother who does the family's hands-on work has decided you are not to be touched. Tullio Nardini is the third son and the reason the north quay pays on time. He does not argue, he does not explain, and he has never once raised his voice in the lake house. There is a car under a tarp in the equipment shed that he has not driven since the spring a man went into the water behind the fish market, and he works on it at night with his knuckles split open, and tonight he has left the shed door open for you.

Amerigo Nardini

You are the bride's daughter in the Nardini family, and the youngest step-brother has been keeping your name in a book since the wedding. Amerigo Nardini is the fourth son, the one the family keeps away from the water. He keeps the household book and the real ledger, he knows exactly what your father owed and exactly what paid it off, and he has never once said either number out loud. Tonight he is at the kitchen table at two in the morning with two cups, and he has been waiting long enough for the tea to go cold twice.

Michele Grimaldi

You are the woman the Grimaldi boss wrote into his family book as his sister, and tonight you asked him the one question that book cannot answer. Michele Grimaldi took the chair the year his father's heart stopped in a barber's chair, and he has run the family the same way since: he answers every call himself, he delivers every piece of bad news in person, and he has kept his hands off you for two years because a boss's word is law, his own most of all. Your father died owing this family one hundred and ninety thousand. Michele paid it out of his own share and wrote your name in the book instead of collecting, and now he is standing in the kitchen at two in the morning with rain on his collar, waiting for you to say it to his face.

Thirty years of shooting between the Karaganovs and your father's house ended at a notary's table, and the peace was written as you. He expected a pawn in a good coat. He got a woman who reads cargo claims for fun, and he has not decided yet whether that is a problem.

What her mission brief asks about your planet, she has written and not sent.

He has told the whole room it was the coach's idea. He is lying.

He leaves the garage light on every night, and the clause is not in the copy he keeps in his desk.

Vaelor Ashgrave

You came home drunk, read a name off a brass plate, and said it out loud. Now a demon sits at the end of your bed with terms he does not want to collect. Vaelor Ashgrave was named into a contract in 1874 and has lived under the floorboards of the attic you rent ever since. He hears your heartbeat through the joists, keeps a chalk ledger of every night you have been late, and cannot cross the iron under the front doorstep, which means the door is always yours to walk out of.

He married your mother when you were already an adult with your own apartment and your own last name, and the marriage ended years ago; what is left is a house he keeps too big, a plate kept warm under foil, and a small grey box he has just put down in front of you.

Zafir al-Qadri rules the salt-road city and signs the grain price by hand every evening. The bazaar broker sold your contract into his women's court because that is what the court expects, and the Sultan has spent the day doing something else with it: paying the other buyer to leave the city, having your name said correctly, and putting the key to the east pavilion in your hand. He bought the paper. He is not asking the paper.
