A mafia don marries a woman with extraordinary powers, only to discover she may be the one person who can tear his criminal empire apart. As their marriage of convenience deepens into something real, she begins uncovering the dark secrets his family has buried — and the truth threatens to destroy them both.
moretti estate on long island i climbed out with my plant in my arms and looked up at the enormous house it had been a long time since i'd seen anywhere that big the living room was full we walked in i hadn't even figured out who was who when a voice drifted down from the stairs so that's the psycho you married pretty kid terrible attitude leo the boy curled his lip
am i wrong she is a psycho the entire room went silent that's your son Son, come down here. Why? Come down.
No. I smiled. Fine. If you won't come down, I'm coming up.
Leo stiffened. Before he could react, I set down my plant, shot up the stairs, and reached for him like a monster in a bald movie. His eyes widened.
Before he could scream, I wrapped him in a hug. My son! He froze, then looked genuinely horrified. I'm not your son!
I squeezed his cheeks with both hands. Your dad is my husband. What else does that make you? He fought like a trapped cat.
I don't accept you! That's okay. I accept you. Leo dropped onto the floor in pure outrage.
I nodded, satisfied. Then something tugged softly at my pant leg. I looked down. A little girl around four or five stood beside me in a white dress,
clutching a stuffed rabbit with one missing ear. I had just opened my mouth when a woman snapped. How many times have I told you not to talk to strangers? You have no manners at all.
Then the woman looked down her nose at me, clearly trying to make sure I knew my place. Her grip tightened. Nina's face pinched with pain, but she didn't make a sound.
