FORCED MARRIAGE:
The Italian Mafia's Obsession
"After that, you'll be taken to Italy with Mr. Luca. All the documents have been taken care of. Your passport is still valid, isn't it?"
"You can't force me," I said.
"I can. Did you forget? In Mexico, parents still have full rights over their unmarried daughters, no matter how old they are," he said.
"But..."
"TOMORROW MORNING!" my father yelled. "I don't want to hear any more protests. You will marry Mr. Luca, you will go to Italy, and you will be a good wife. That's the final decision!"
My father turned and walked out of the room. My stepmother followed without a word, pulling Sofia who was still crying, and then the living room was empty.
