CLEO
“Shit,” I mutter as I stare at the pregnancy test in Gemma’s hand.
It’s positive. She’s pregnant.
My sister brushes past me, looking like she might throw up, and sinks onto
a chair by her bed. The test falls out of her hand. “This is a disaster,” she
moans.

Disaster? No. A disaster would be spilling wine on a white designer dress
you borrowed from a friend, or your phone battery dying while you’re out
in the middle of the woods at a rave.
This is far more than a disaster.
This is a clusterfuck. Dictionary definition.
Gem’s wedding to Rafaele Messero is in just a few days, and she’s
pregnant.
With another man’s baby.
Ras Sorrentino loves her. He’d do anything for her. But Gem left him so
that she could carry out her “duty to the family” by marrying Rafaele—the
most dangerous mobster in New York.
I swear, our good-for-nothing father’s greatest accomplishment is managing
to brainwash my sister into believing his bullshit.
Papà’s life hangs on this marriage. Literally. Rafaele is the only reason Papà
isn’t rotting in prison right now, but if he can get Papà out, he can put him
back in just as easily. The price for my father’s freedom is Gemma—a
daughter for Rafaele to marry so that he can be named as Papà’s successor.
Rafaele is already the don of his family, but I guess it’s not enough for the
greedy bastard. He wants to be the don of ours too. So he needs a Garzolo
wife. And according to his ass-backward traditions, she’s supposed to be a
virgin.
I wince. Rafaele might’ve been raised in a traditional, religious family, but
something tells me immaculate conception is going to seriously test any
belief he has.
“What am I going to do?” Gemma whispers, her wide eyes fixated on the
test lying on the ground. My sister has always been the strong one but right
now she looks like she’s about to collapse. “Rafaele and Papà need me.
Papà will force me to get rid of the baby.”
She’s right. They do need her. The men in our lives are incapable of
cleaning up their own messes. If it were up to Papà, Gemma would be
wheeled into a clinic by the end of the night, but perhaps…
“Rafaele wouldn’t do that,” I say. “You know how traditional his family is.”
My sister shakes her head. “Don’t be naive. In our world, they only respect
the traditions that serve them. Rafaele won’t raise another man’s baby.” Her
lips tremble. “I don’t know what to do.
I never should have left Ras. You’re
right, Cleo. I should have been brave and stayed. Ras loved me, and I broke
his heart because I was so damn scared that one day he’d regret sacrificing
so much for me. I was so insecure and worried about the future that I
completely missed what was right in front of me.”
My heart clenches. That’s how people act when they’ve never been allowed
to put themselves first. They self-sabotage because they believe they’re not
worthy of happiness.
