“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

Vincenzo raised a brow, a concerned look on his face. "Are you worried?" He asked.

Great to know that it was really obvious. All my previous run ins with Master LaRosa always resulted into one bad thing or another.

The last time, it ended up with me being shot after being kidnapped.

The man was bad news for me and I would rather not have a run in with him again.

"Tesoro" Vincenzo called out, ignoring the fact that his father was probably downstairs.

Something didn't sit right. Master LaRosa was probably aware that we were upstairs or something but he chose to remain downstairs and…wait?

"Do you think he knows we're here?" I asked, my voice slightly above a whisper.

Vincenzo shrugged, his expression passive. "Oh he knows" He confirmed.

That alone made me feel more uneasy. "Then why won't he come upstairs?" I whispered back.
