The Don Lost His Love
"Mr. Damian, Elena’s happiness has nothing to do with you. If you set foot on this soil again, I’ll ensure you vanish into the high seas."
Damian was hauled out like a bag of trash. Through the layers of my white veil, I took one last look at that slumped, broken figure before turning back to my groom.
Two years later, under the Sicilian sun, I held my child in my arms.
Cyril wrapped his arms around us, providing a sense of security I hadn't felt in eight years in Manhattan. I heard rumors that Damian had gone into a death spiral back in New York. He’d squandered his empire on drink, hiding away in a ruin filled with the shredded remains of our old photos, talking to ghosts.
