My Mafia Princess

“Breathe... Breathe Cassandra... Breathe...”
She closes her eyes and takes one final deep breath... Then... She steps through the red curtains and onto the stage. She was about to give the best show of her life…
But never did I imagine I was going to become the star in it.
From the moment that our breaths mingled and our skins melted… 
She became the only reason that I breathed.
MY ONLY DESIRE TO LIVE.
Living a life that was ruled by my father and the ever-burning demands of his mafia empire; if ever I was going to defy it all, then it was going to be for her.
And that was exactly what I did.
I was determined to watch it all crash down and burn.
Start a war.
ALL FOR HER.
Except I never imagined the secrets that I would uncover. The truths revealed and the lies that would be untold. A life perfectly orchestrated by the hands of the ones that I thought I could trust.
So I had a choice…
I could lay my soul bare and let her slice me open…
LOSE IT ALL.
Or play it safe and obey the code by which we lived…
Was it ever a question? Ever a decision that needed to be made?
She was my blind desire.
AND SHE WAS ABOUT TO TEACH ME HOW TO LOVE.
