Forced To Kneel, I Went All Out
Everyone in New York knew that Don Lorenzo Capone loved his wife dearly.
At the height of our love, he shielded me from a bullet that went straight through his chest.
The hospital issued eleven critical condition notices.
I cried myself hoarse at the door of the emergency room.
"Lorenzo, don't you dare die on me, or I'll instantly find a pretty boy to marry and have children with!"
He survived the ordeal, and the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to marry me.
After the marriage, he ruled over New York's largest underground empire with an iron fist, but never allowed any woman to get close to him.
On our third wedding anniversary, I went to his private dock to give him a surprise.
There, I saw him holding a pair of twins, teaching them how to shoot. The man who could kill without batting an eye was looking at the children with eyes full of affection.
The children's mother was Elena Tribbiani, the daughter of an arms dealer who was his equal.
"Lorenzo, what if Vivian finds out?"
Lorenzo dismissed it casually. "A fragile porcelain doll like her is only fit to be displayed in a glass case. Only a she-wolf like you is worthy of bearing my family's cubs."
It turned out, what I thought was true love was merely a carefully-woven lie.
I did not confront him. Instead, I sent a text message to an FBI special agent.
"Agent Smith, I have a list of the arms deal you’re investigating."
