THE MAN IN YELLOW

My heart felt like it was sinking to the bottom of my chest. With bated breath, I struggled to hold back the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes. The luck had run out for me, and the harsh truth of mob life stared me right in the face. I knew all too well what went on in the shadows of our cruel world. Even though Grandpa had been kind to me, I couldn't ignore the heinous crimes committed against women in La Famiglia. Fathers bartered off their daughters, and husbands treated their wives like trash. Infidelity reigned supreme. Most of them were cheaters—just like Mrs. Gastone.
