Dumping My Childhood Sweetheart Fiancés
The two childhood sweethearts swear that they'll marry no one but me, but they stand by as my dog of ten years gets killed in a car accident. I cradle the dog's mangled body, but no tears fall.
Dante Battaglia stares at me in disgust and asks, "Why did you bring it home? Don't you know Anna's allergic to it?"
Dario Battaglia immediately rushes over to snatch away the body in my arms. "This is a damned jinx. Get rid of it!"
The Battaglia siblings and I are childhood friends. Dante became the Don, and Dario the Consigliere. I'm the precious princess in the two brothers' eyes, but everything changes with Anna's arrival.
After burying the dog myself, I reply to the email inviting me to join an international classified project.
The email reads, "Ms. Julia Costanza, we'd like to know if you're willing to participate in this institute's ten-year-long classified project. Upon joining, your personal information will be sealed for a decade, and you will be prohibited from contacting the outside world."
I replied, "Yes, I agree."
