The sweet aroma of my tea filled my nostrils as I brought the mug to my lips, feeling the liquid's warmth on my skin; this is the best part of my mornings- a cup of tea and a freshly baked pastry while I sit at my usual table so I could watch the river through the window. "Hello Ragazza Dolce," a raspy voice greeted causing my blood to run cold. To most that voice would come off as sweet as honey but to me it only brought back memories of dark rooms and broken bones, memories that had been safely locked away for a year now. Slowly I sat down the mug and turned my gaze over my shoulder to see him standing beside my table with a sly smile on his beautiful face. I had caught the eye of a mafia boss while I was working in a swanky club back in New York City, and he offered me a life that I would only be able to have in my dreams. That life was great until I saw the darker part of it.
He started to disappear at night and, to be frank, I believed he was cheating on me- I wish that had been the truth. One night I followed him through the halls of the house and to the massive basement that had been divided into separate rooms. Peering through the door that was slightly ajar I watched as he and his men broke every bone of a man who betrayed the family... I ran... Ran so far away that I had to learn a new language and build a new life. I thought those precautions would protect me, but I was wrong because here he stands with that heart wrenching smile and those dark memories.
