Semua Bab The Devil's Vow: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Sasha’s POV.“Dad, when does this end?” I questioned.“What are you talking about?”Since my dad’s idea of father-daughter bonding was hauling me from Manhattan to Florence just to accompany him to a club to gamble his worth away, we were on our way to the venue on Saturday night.“You’re getting addicted to gambling, dad.” I knew for a fact that he was addicted to gambling, but I decided to tone things down. “It’s never worth it. Why not just call it quits and enjoy your bliss in New York?”“Sash, I’ve told you countless times, I do this simply because I enjoy it. I’m not doing it with a gun to my head, am I?” he answered, glancing away from the cuff links he’d been fixing for several minutes.“How can you enjoy losing a chunk of your properties every time. I mean, an outsider might think we regularly come to Italy to donate to a charity organization. You always go back with less every time we come.”“That’s what you’re here for. To be my good luck charm,” he said, shrugging.I used

Sasha’s POV.I looked from my dad to the taller man he kept glancing at.I had never seen this look on my dad’s face…like fear. The other man, on the contrary, looked normal, pleased even.“Dad, is something wrong?”“Uh…Sasha…” he started before the other man moved him aside with the back of his hand.“I hate keeping people in the dark, so I’ll explain to you,” he told me.His form eclipsed my dad’s as he stepped forward.“Your dad was foolish enough to gamble all his money away. He desperately auctioned you to bounce back. Standing before you is Lorenzo De Luca, the Black Rose of the Sicilian Mafia. Your new owner,” he explained, his face devoid of emotion.Auction? Mafia? Owner?“Owner? What is that supposed to mean?”“I bought you. Now I own you,” he proclaimed.There was definitely a problem, but it couldn’t be this horrible nonsense I just heard.Of course, he’s just messing with me.I bent my head to the side, seeking my dad’s clarification. “Dad?”The man turned to face my Dad

Lorenzo's POV.She wouldn't stop sniffling.And it was getting on my fucking nerves.I guessed that all the bravado from earlier had faded, leaving her in her original form- soft and weak.I had walked into the bar to find her standing and yelling angrily at her dad. I couldn't care less about leaving them to sort things out. But I stood back, not wanting to deny myself the satisfaction of seeing someone, anyone at all, shout at Williams Morales.I resumed my walk to claim my commodity when Williams started shouting back.She was shocked when I told her she was going with me immediately, but she seemed to recover from that after some seconds. She took her purse and gave the other guy beside her dad a curt goodbye. Then she moved away from the couch, looking up to meet my gaze in a way that said, ‘What are you waiting for?’I chuckled, turning around to lead the way out of the bar. Galileo already had the car waiting in front of the casino. Even he was surprised that we showed up so

Sasha’s POV.I woke up very early on Sunday morning with a sense of expectation.Although I was glad to have found a new toothbrush in the bathroom, I couldn’t say I felt refreshed since I was still in the same clothes.Sitting on the bed with my back against the headboard, I didn’t feel as hopeless as I did the night before. The reason was the plan I had carefully made.I knew it wasn’t a particularly water-tight plan but its power was in its simplicity. Mafia men like the devil my dad sold me to- ugh, that word- must be used to people attempting to run away from them. That meant they would be able to anticipate regular moves. My planned move was the total opposite of regular. The knocks on my door caught my attention.“We leave in ten minutes,” Galileo informed, barely stepping into the room.What’s the point in knocking when you still open the door at will?“Okay,” I answered, folding my arms.The door was shut and then locked again.I chuckled, going over my plan in my head aga

Lorenzo's POV.I picked up the second my phone started ringing.“Talk.”“We have her, boss,” Galileo announced.“We’re on our way back to the airport,” he added.“Bravo.”I ended the call, releasing a heavy sigh.“Boss?” Vincent called, stepping closer cautiously. “They found her?”“Si. We’ll make the 8am flight. Go make arrangements.”He nodded, turned around to give a positive signal to the others before heading towards the desks of the flight officials. Although Galileo was the closest to the family, Vincent was a capable capo like him. Arnoldo, the guy who was supposed to keep watch over my commodity, was a soldier under Vincent. I rarely traveled with soldiers. The only reason I allowed Vincent bring him and Luiz was their experience with art. It was a no-brainer that their skills would come in handy in authenticating the artworks we went to intercept from the Uffizi.When Arnoldo rushed over to meet us without her, I knew somet
