Deadly Temptations

She lay sleeping in my arms without a care in the world, safe and sound. Her snores only add beauty to the sounds of waves crashing softly against the shore. 


Just a mere five months ago, I scoffed at the idea when Griffin presented it to me. Find a personal assistant and just see where it takes me. Had I expected to fall for her as she has me? No. 


I am worried about the future and how to keep her safe. Fears that Uncle Rocco will take her as he took mom and dad from me. If my life didn’t revolve around the mafia as much as it did, I’d take her and run. Travel the world with her and let her enjoy the simple things in life. 


To be honest, I still could. But there is one thing more pertinent to my agenda – the death of Rocco. Sounds like a cheesy old B-rated movie. However, I mean it when I say he is the only one I have my sight on. He will die, whether it be by my hands, the hands of God, or the cancer eating away at his body.
