“You need my help, Tesoro. You choose. A marriage with me or be torn apart by them” His voice was cool as though this wasn't a matter of life or death.

I didn't want this life. My father had gambled a lot and left me with a lot of enemies and now I needed the help of Don Vincenzo LaRosa who was my high school bully and now the Don of the most powerful mafia family in Italy if I was going to survive it.

It was just a marriage of convenience but I realized something. He wasn't helping me out of a good heart. I had been sold without my permission to him. I was the mafia's pawn.

Sold to the Capo

"Oh uh…" I looked at the man weirdly though I forced a smile at him, wondering why he seemed so emotional to see me.

Salvatore, who was behind me, gave the man a small shake of the head. "Mr Carraro, please follow me," he said to the man who was still staring at me.

I smiled at him and collected my suitcase from him. "Thank you" I smiled at him, eager to go to my room and make sure my things were intact.

Before the man left with Salvatore, he said something that made me freeze.

I whipped my head around to look at him but he was already leaving the living room with Salvatore leading the way.

What the hell did that mean? I just ignored it and focused on my suitcase then I realized that I didn't know the way back to the room again.

A GIFT FROM VINCENZO
