PROLOGUE

Jan 2012,

Siegel Gambino vs Victoria Larei Fraser.

"In this criminal case, Ms. Fraser is accused of murdering Mr. Ryan Fraser and kidnapping of Mr. Gambino in late November 2011"

I squeeze my eyes close and took a deep breath upon hearing the judge's words. At the same time, I rub my sweaty palms together as I anxiously listen to her.

She is about to announce the outcome of the trial. This trial has been going on for so long and today concluded it and I hate to admit that I am the villain of this story.

A villain to the mafia brothers and to the people who had been watching this trial since day one. I've been in denial ever since the trial began for not murdering my brother and kidnapping the youngest of the Gambino.

However, yesterday's pressure from the Gambino bitch of a lawyer made me blurted and confess the whole truth to the court.

The truth is that I was the one who pull the trigger that killed my own brother and I was the one who kidnapped Siegel Gambino.

It sounds horrifying to the world where I've heard so many questions being raised and judgemental opinions.

However, no one knows the real reason behind the whole ordeal and I didn't want them to know either. Everyone assumed and made their own conclusions.

One of them was that I was a gold digger and I only want to ruin the Gambino without knowing that I was drunken in love with one of the brothers.

And at some point, I was part of their family. My whole life revolves around Ryan, them and their criminal world.

Now that Ryan is gone and the fact that I kidnapped Siegel made them want my blood. Not to be sucked but to spill as I've crossed the line with them.

I shook my head while reminiscing on my helpless situation. If only I could be wiser and unloved myself from loving someone that didn't deserve it.

Franco's love betrayal was a hard pill to swallow and it drove me crazy.

I should have let go like most girls do but stubbornly I wasn't gonna give up easily especially when I'd fallen deep and hard for him.

Some may call it an obsession that made me more of a psycho than that a kind and loving human being. However, it was love that was making me go crazy.

I should have known that all his sweets and loving words were all lies.

Heaving a sigh I open my eyes and face the muddy reality that I've dragged myself into.

I drag my gaze around the room, searching for that specific person and I found him sitting at the far side on the front row with the woman he cheated on me with.

I bit my bottom lip hard and hardened my glare at them, wanting to jump on my feet and lunge at both of them.

In fact, his brothers' murderous look made me glued to my seat, and I immediately avoided making eye contact with any of them.

There was no sign of mercy, only vengeance and hatred evident in those glares.

The mafia son of a bitches whom I used to consider families are now my enemies and no one in this court was here to support me.

Tears brim my eyes as memories began to fill my head which made the wounds still fresh as if Franco's betrayal and the pain I went through for killing my own blood was just yesterday.

I felt a hand rest on my shoulder which snaps me out of my unwanted memories. I turn up to see Harper my lawyer staring at me.

I look around and saw that everyone are upstanding. I nervously stood up and try to look brave.

"You're going to be fine Victoria" whispered Harper. I nod my head and turn to the front to face the judge.

This is it. I thought.

"For these reasons and under articles 533 and 535 of the criminal procedure code declares Victoria Fraser is guilty of the crimes ascribed to her. Under article 538 and following the criminal procedure code. Hereby sentence Victoria Larei Fraser to 30 years in prison"

My world crumbles even more and everything else suddenly became mute. My unshed tears began to fall before it flows like a waterfall.

The sound of my whimpers echoes in the courtroom and the flashes of the camera were nonstop. I felt my hands being cuffed to the back and the police led me to the exit.

Harper didn't even spare a glance at me. It is like she's done with my shit and I bet she's happy that this is all over.

I even saw the Gambino hugging their little brother Siegel before they all turn to look at me.

"Please... Please... I didn't mean it" I cried out begging them to save me.

"Please... I swear I didn't mean it" I cry but none of them dares to move. Franco shook his head, taking the hand of his new mistress and they exited the court.

"I'm sorry"

My cries fall upon deaf ears of the Gambino brothers as the police drag me out of the courtroom and the court building.

I never knew my life could turn out this way.
