Forgotten Vows

He vowed he would never leave me. But he was left with no other choice. On my eighteenth birthday, I did the worst thing possible, in my family's eyes. I fell in love with a nobody—the son of a man who works for my father—and I gave him my innocence. For a mafia princess born to be bartered away, there's no worse sin. He claimed he took it by force, to save my life. And when I freed him, he promised he'd come back for me. But it's been ten years. And when he does, he's not the sweet boy I remember. He's a man, reborn out of blood and violence, a mafia boss in his own right who takes me back because he believes I was always his. And he's right. But it's more than just the two of us now. He left me with a son. And I'll do anything to make sure my child doesn't suffer the way he did. Even give up the man I love. I haven't forgotten our vows. But I don't know if I can live with how he plans to keep them.
