“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

I had dragged this out for too long.

but it doesn't bother me. Not today.

The two men had been tied up for weeks now and they were a thin line away from death.

I should kill them. Lay waste to them like I did to Henry but I wanted to take my sweet time with both of them. I couldn't prolong it for long but this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I was going to make it count.

Because today, I feel fucking fantastic.

As I entered, I paused at the door, my eyes darkening. Julius and Lord Rossi are right where I left them—strapped to rusted chairs, bodies slumped, clothes stiff with dried blood. Their faces are swollen, their skin riddled with bruises and cuts. I did a good job keeping them alive, but that was never the hard part.
