No one could have guessed what would happen when a sixteen year old Vincenzo goes to an auction with his father. No one could have guessed that his actions from that night would change his whole life path and the path of...
"Are you sure this looks okay?" I asked as stood in front of the mirror.
I've slowly been gaining weight to get back to my normal weight but I can't help but feel a bit self-conscious.

"You take my breath away as always." Vince said as he put his watch on.
"That's what you always say."
"That's because it is the truth. Now we have go so we won't be late."
"Okay, okay."
We ended up making it ten minutes before the wedding began. We walked through the Esposito house to the backyard where the wedding was.
"Don Bianchi, I'm so glad that you could make it!" Adrianna's father exclaimed as we made it out onto the patio.
"Tesoro, lets go find a seat." Vince said ignoring him. He placed his hand on my lower back as we walked past Gianni.
They don't get along very well. Never have. Gianni has never approved of Vince taking over for his father or the way he runs things but Vince ignores him. He knows that Gianni isn't that big of threat.
We sat on the left side, sort of in the middle. I was in between Vince and Stefano with Giuseppe on Vince's other side.
I couldn't help but feel a bit sick when I saw Nicolai standing at the altar with a cocky smirk on his face. It wasn't an attractive cocky smirk like Vince has, Nicolai's gave off a pedophile type of feel.
The wedding march began to play minutes later and we all stood. When I saw her, my heart shattered.
She was walking down the aisle in a elegant strapless wedding gown. Her eyes were puffy, a sign that like most brides in our world had on their wedding day. She had been crying, probably for the past two days like many. And I could faintly see a bruise underneath her makeup.
The wedding went on and once it was over we all headed to the reception inside where I immediately hunted Adrianna down.
I grabbed her hand and pulled her out onto the balcony where she instantly broke down.
"Don't cry. It'll just make it worse if he sees you."
She let out a deep sigh and wiped her tears away. "God. I don't know how I'm going do it."
"One day at a time."
"I have to sleep with him tonight, willingly or not."
"You'll get through it."
"Why can't I be you? You got off so lucky."
I rolled my eyes. "Right because being forced into sex trafficking is the way to go."
