The thing they don’t realize is that I’m more than what I seem.Ī dahlia has always bloomed best in the light, and even though everything about this place and these men is shrouded in darkness, I’m determined to thrive…to win. Where Lucian, Raphael, and Gabriel Rossi now think they own me. New York City, the powerful head of the Cosa Nostra, is my new home. We aren’t Butchers in name only, and surely the Rossi family can’t be as bad as the devil that’s been destroying me since I was eight years old. I should know all about how to survive monsters though, I come from a family of them. Their daughters would have to pay the price of peace. Although the uncertainty of the treaty’s success was felt by every mob boss there, one by one, the families swore an oath that would bind them to it forever.Īnd as the words spilled from their lips and the scent of blood hung in the air, they made sure innocent lives would yet again be deemed collateral damage to their mafia wars-one last time.

However, even the cynical and leery knew that this pact was their best chance of survival. The deep scars gained from years of plight and hatred can’t be so easily healed or erased. Not all in attendance were happy with the arrangement. It would also guarantee that the following successor’s bloodline would be forever changed, creating an alliance that would continue throughout generations to come. Marriage was the only way to ensure that the families wouldn’t retaliate against one another. Should this attempt fail, then their annihilation was all but imminent.Įach family would offer up one of their daughters as a sacrifice to their enemies. As the leaders of the most influential crime families in the world, they recognized that a ceasefire was the only way to guarantee their endurance. In the most unlikely scenarios, six families came together in an undisclosed location to negotiate a peace treaty. Soldiers, kin, and innocent lives were lost on all sides, and the inevitable extinction of the mafioso way of life was fast approaching. From both sides of the globe, blood was spilled in the name of honor, while the brutal carnage each family bestowed upon the other was anything but noble. Throughout recent decades, in the midst of civil evolution, an ancient war was being fought.

However, the same cannot be said when dealing with their enemies. These are the codes of conduct of every mafia family. None hold this way of life more sacred than made men. Creating chaos and bloodshed is preferable to being subjected to vapid dialogues of peaceful negotiation.

The thirst for vengeance and retribution has always prevailed overturning the other cheek to one’s enemies. Since the dawn of time, waging war on those who have wronged us has been embedded in the very fiber of mankind’s true nature.
