Sold to the Capo

“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.

REVEALING WOUNDS

ADRIANA'S POV

The sound of gunshots filled the air as I walked to the training ground this morning, my mind solely fixed on Henry.

I had to see him.

After my discussion with Vincenzo yesterday, he told me that he wanted to try a few things with me to help me, and even though I was filled with trepidation and fear, I did want to know if he could help; I'd do literally anything to get rid of the flashbacks. I had gone through therapy several times and nothing, absolutely nothing.

It always ended up the same way and I was tired of going about in circles.

"Hey," I heard Henry's voice as he jogged up to me, his body drenched in sweat.

"Oh… good morning" I smiled at him, tucking my hands into the pockets of my coat.

He watched me silently with a soft smile. "It is cold out here" He muttered.

"Yeah, it is. Training hard, I see" I nodded behind him at the shooting range.
