TW:RAPE, SEXUAL ASSULT AND PHYSICAL ABUSE

As the oldest child of a wealthy Italian mob family, I was used by my mother for what I could provide-money and property. My sister was more beautiful than me with her hair always in curlers. Although we were young, she did what she could to teach us about life, love and everything else.

My mother was an ambitious woman, she loved to read. In her hometown she owned a library just outside of her town. She met my father in one of his many heists.

Mama told me she had only known my father for three months before marrying him. After marrying him he turned into a totally different person than the young handsome man she had met three months earlier.
