“If I help you to run, I’ll betray the Famiglia and by doing so my husband,”

What must it be like to love someone so much that you would put your life in their hands without hesitation?

The Famiglia comes first to Made Men.”

“He’ll hunt you.”

With a bang, the door flew open. Before either Sid or I could move, three men stalked in. Matteo was one of them. Oh holy shit.

“I will take you to Chicago, but I won’t leave your side, Gianna. I won’t give you the chance to run from me again.”

Nobody had ever looked at me like that, like I was the only source of water in a time of drought.

“You are such a romantic, Gianna. Your words always warm my heart.”

I was completely and utterly screwed.
