Those Boys Are Trouble (Valetti Crime Family)

by Willow Winters

Do good things, think good things, and good things will happen.

My Becca is hanging upside down, tied up by her ankles over a sink to the right of the room. Her head has her just barely balanced on the edge of a sink that’s overflowing. Her hair is soaked. They left her to drown. They tied her up, and put her head in a sink and filled it.

“I got you into this, babe. I’m gonna get you out. I’ll make them pay and take care of you. Both of you.”

They hurt her to get to me. They tried to kill her. And they wanted me to see.

“Tell me you’ll stay with me. I promise I’ll love you till the day I die.” “Yes, Dom. I love you. I just want to love you.”

"I'm just not happy with the decisions I've made for people who don't appreciate them."

If she remembers, I’m going to have to kill her. I don’t have a fucking choice.

I need to knock her up. I need to marry my sweetheart. They won’t touch her if she’s mine. No one will touch her if she’s mine. And if I get my way, she’s going to be mine. And the police can’t make her testify against me if she’s my wife. No one will be able to threaten her.

“I’m gonna put a baby in you. Then they won’t hurt you, sweetheart.”

“If you’re going to kill me, please do it when I don’t see it coming.”

Revenge will make a man crazy. Unstoppable. Untouchable.

They held me down and brutalized me in front of my father.

They raped me, took my innocence.

“Am I still your good girl?”

She’s a mafia princess. She should be respected and she knows the rules to keep her mouth shut.

Do you want to stay with me?”

“I have enough money to take us wherever we need to go. I was smart about shit, and we can get by for a long fucking time.

What we shared. I’ve never felt that before, and I want it, Ava. More than anything else.”

“I have feelings for her, Vince. She needs me. I’m not going to lose her.”

“All of our women would be better off without us. We know it. They know it.”

I love you so fucking much. I’m so damn proud to have you as my girl. I’ll make you my wife.”

I’m going to be a mother. Warmth and happiness flow through me.

I’ll always love you, Ava. Even if you don’t want me, I’ll always love you.”

“Bad things will happen if you come in here.”

“I won’t hurt you. And I won’t let anyone else hurt you, either.”

I'm bringing a child into this world and I don't even know if the man I think I love would want either of us.

“She came to tell you she's pregnant.”

“Choose? Between family and my child? I fucking love her, Vince. I'm not giving her up.”

“You deserve to be happy, Tonya. Don’t let him hurt you. And when the time comes, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

I have my blogging, my books, and my friends, even if they're all online.

“I will give you everything you need. Everything you want. But you need to submit to me.”

“A shot of Depo-Provera,”

“She’s as close to a wife as I’ll ever have.”

it was my fucked up fairytale come true. I loved him. I know I still do.

“If you come back to me now,” he says, “I’ll never let you go.”
