Chapter 17 : A Prince in Distress
RAVEN
The moment I saw my mom’s name on the piece of paper, I had been shot back into a past I didn't want to remember. My father was the reason I was able to rise up from my shitty past, and I never wanted to look back again.
What was worse was the fact I now knew I was intertwined with fucking Adriano more than I thought I was. I don’t know why I was even surprised by the fact my family would be tied to the mob, but it wasn’t like my father would have told me.
What I wanted to know was why my mom had never fucking thought to tell me? Why hadn’t she told me what my dad was doing this whole time on the side? Maybe Adriano was right. Maybe it was better that a kid didn’t know what shit their parents were delving into. It meant most of my childhood was normal, other than losing my mom in a tragic and fucked-up way.
