I was born Francesca Maria Macchione on January 10, 1972 to Angela and Francesco Macchione Mamma was a Sicilian and black woman light skinned long wavy dark brown hair and dark-brown eyes she had a perfect hour glass figure around 5 foot 5 inches in height and was abnormally beautiful she was eighteen when I was born she was the daughter of Jamie and Vincent Roselli who I called nonno and nonna uno they lived in Coral Gables Floridanonno uno was a legit businessman who despised men like my papa nonno uno owned a chain of hotels an Italian restaurant in a palm beach and some real estate no one ever spoke badly of him he was a short chubby Sicilian man with short black hair and black eyes he was around 5 foot 4 inches and had a natural tanned complexion nonna uno was a dark complected beautiful black woman around 5 foot 6 inches was a homemaker and had the same hour glass figure as mamma shoulder length dark brown hair and hazel eyes mamma was second to the youngest in her family Aunt Paula was the oldest and aunt Alana the youngest I loved it at nonno and nonna uno’s nonna uno always took us shopping and I got to eat whatever I wanted. My papa was a very handsome Sicilian man he had short wavy black hair he always had brushed back and black eyes he was about 5 foot 10 inches in height muscular with a very violent temper he had a lot of enemies and a lot of admirers and neither spoke badly of him and none of his enemies were dumb enough to cross him papa was a businessman some legal some not he owned two gentlemen's clubs in Chicago an Italian eatery in Cicero an apartment complex in cicero I heard he was still in control of great nonno Macchione's number racket operation and loan sharking business and I knew he owned a place everyone called the poolyard he was 20 when I was born and had four brothers and one sister uncle Paolo was the oldest then there was uncle Angelo uncle Aldo papa and aunt maria he was the son of Francesco Macchione the second and maria Macchione whom I called nonno and nonna nonno was a handsome Sicilian man around 5 foot 11 and slim with short wavy black hair and black eyes, he was an honest retired attorney and he also owned some real estate papa said he was criticized a lot for defending people that were labeled as mobsters and gangsters and drug dealers and getting the a really reduced sentence probation or cleared of all charges I finally reached the age when I was too nosy for my own good and started asking questions me: nonno what are gangsters and mafioso and why did you defend them aren’t they bad people? nonno: they’re just names people come up with to label other people who live differently then they do what these men do is bad but who am I or anyone else to judge them this country is based on lies bigotry and murder I defended them because all money is green to me those people made it possible for me to retire and give my kids the best of everything you got to stick to your gut do what you believe in not what people tell you is right and you are going to learn that no matter how law abiding how successful you are you can’t escape the Macchione name there’s a lot of bad history tied to that name because of your great-grandfather my father so a lot of ignorant people are going to assume were all bad no matter how Much you've proved them wrong. Nonna was a beautiful naturally dark complected Sicilian woman around 5 foot four with and an hour glass figure long thick wavy black hair and black eyes she came to America from lercara friddi Sicily when she was 13 in 1932 she was hired as a nanny for the Macchione's that’s how she met nonno she was 51 when I was born to completely understand how my family is different you would have to know our history it all started with great-grandfather Macchione my aunt his daughter told me the whole story life for a Macchione female isn’t easy even though we have everything a girl could want to truly understand you have to have a father tied up in this thing they call an organized crime family or what Pappa calls the organization you know the names the mafia the Cosa Nostra the Syndicate, the outfit, and the office. To name a few we’ve been loved feared and hated by people well never know great grandpa Macchione was born Francesco Mario Macchione on August 12, 1882 in Palermo Sicily he and parents and his four sisters and five brothers came to America when he six and settled in an Italian ghetto in Brooklyn New York his life of crime started when he was 16 with crimes like petty theft and car jacking the fact that he was Sicilian and had been in trouble with the law and hated cops anyone in law enforcement caught the eye of Sicilian don Michael madonia and. Within 10 years he went from associate to underboss of the madonia family eventually him double-crossed madonia had him murdered and took over the madonia family even though madonia loved and trusted him and treated him like a son he changed. It to the Macchione family and was involved in extortion the number rackets money laundering had a loan sharking and bookmaking business and a few brothels and strip clubs he was forbidden fruit to my great-grandmother Sophia but somehow she gave him a chance after six months married him and had four kids she eventually saw him as the cold-hearted man he was and how terrified people were of him because he’d have someone wacked just cause they didn’t agree with him he was labeled the most cold-hearted don of all time some called him don Satan then one day she walked in on him beating his advisor to death with a bat for giving him bad advice she planned on taking the kids and leaving the country but a great grandpa found out her plans and a few weeks later she was found in The trunk of her car shot a ton of times great grandpa Macchione loved for his victims bodies to pop up to fuck with the cops cause they couldn’t touch him he had too many paid off and they never could prove he was behind it she was only a 37-great grandpa was boss from 1912 to 1947 when he chose to retire he died on December 4th 1982 of a Heart attack at the age of 95 he confessed to my aunt cause were Catholic and believe you have to confess your sins before you die to make peace with god nonno and great grandpa didn’t get along he said great grandpa was a coward and he knew he was the one who had his mamma wacked and a great grandpa said nonno was a sap in fact nonno didn’t want anything to do with Anything illegal he became his fathers opposite great-aunt allesssandra who told me the whole Macchione story was a nurse and her husband was a doctor great-aunt prascilla became some gangster in Baltimore wife great-uncle santino became a surgeon and never been in any kind of trouble from the time me and my sister Angela and our friend’s Lucia deluca Mercedes moretti franca lombardo anna and annamaria marcello were born our fathers.

he lost mamma she snuck off with me luciano and angie the other 2 didnt want to go we moved to cicero and lived in a secluded townhome complex it was 4 bedroom 41/2 bathroom with a den and mamma bought a lincoln towncar she didnt want to be to obvious she got all the money from her trust fund that nonno uno finally had unfrozen and let her use cause she had left papa a 2 months went past and mamma started seeing a relator named antonio maggio who adored mamma we later found out mia had been found in her apartment dead cops said the weapon used had to be a shotgun or a 357 magnum because she was missing parts of her skull it happenednot to long afterr mamma left with us aunt cat became a local celebrity in newport beach she was all on tv having interviews talking about all of us our father’s lives she would always take pictures mamma finally called and got her told her where we were she came and told no1 she knew where we were but she was also on the run cause uncle vinny found out about her affair she was hiding out in queens new york with franca and angelo we were all happy to see she was still alive and okay mamma held her for about 5 minutes mamma: im so glad that bastard didnt find you he and frances are probably tearing up newport looking for us fran take franca and angelo upstairs to hang out with you angie and lucky and franca went to hang out with angie and angelo with lucky I went to the bottom of the stairs so I could listen to mamma and aunt cat talking cause I was always the nosy one aunt cat was crying auntcat: were fucked angie we cant hide forever they’ll find us and when they do were finished vinny already whacked jules he was shot down right in front of his apartment in broad daylight someone said a cop was sitting there and drove off while it was happening but noone would tell who the shooter was and he wasnt living in the ghetto he was in the suburbs so it had to be him cause one bullet went exactly through his eye at close range and something else I have to tell you I’m pregnant 3 months to be exact I don’t know who the father is cause jules wasnt the only man I was fuckin around on vinny with I was planning to leave vinny for this italian guy named ronald lauritano he’s a teacher in los angelas at least he was till he disapeared last week and he hasnt been found yet I loved him but was to scared of being hurt to commit to him I tried to be more discreet to protect him but I fucked up it’s ok for vinny to fuck whoever he wants but he kills anyone who touches me did I tell you what really happened to my first husband enrico well I told you he died of a heart attack I lied he was found in his pool dead full of bullets we were never married we were engaged it was the day before our wedding I was engaged to him but talking to vinny to well fuckin vinny I hadnt fucked him yet I told him I wanted to wait till we were married he was 35 I was 16 he was the owner of a few apartments and a resteraunt very legit man vinny on the other hand was a tough guy rosa and vinny arent my biological kids their mother died when they were young rosa was 3 and vinny jr was 4 vinny was married when we started fooling around I had franca but gave her to my parents cause I didnt want her I was just a selfish bitch when rico was killed I went back home for a while then vinny’s wife died in a car acciedent and he acted like it didnt affect him he asked me to marry him the day she was buried took me to the funeeral and everything told me he loved me and we had a huge wedding and I soon realized vinny was a mafioso I knew cause he was hanging with frances that’s when I met you when vinny moved us to ciceero I got ffranca before we left and realized id never leave her again and I can’t my little girl my boy what would they do without me does he even care what thatll do to them if he whacks me all he cares about is how he looks to people and a slutty wife has to be killed to build back his image mamma: cat why don’t
