Carina Caputo, daughter of the Iron Bull, was many a thing. A wife of the Godfather, mother to the next generation, a business woman. She was a saint for putting up with him for as long as she had, for trusting him faithfully as long as she had. A goddamn wonder is what she was. A wonder and a brilliant sight to behold. "What?" She asked, a chuckle staining her tone as he stood behind her. "What's wrong, Michael?" "Nothing, nothing." He replied, settling his chin on her shoulder and hugging her around the middle. "I'm just wondering why God gave you to me instead of some other sap who deserves you far more than I." "You deserve happiness, Michael!" She hissed. "After all of the bullshit you went through, you deserve happiness, and come hell or high water, I'll make sure of that."

An 18 year old girl from Italy, that is just desperately in love with her favorite actor, Al Pacino. Her name is Sofia. Can she really make her dream come true and meet the big Al Pacino? And what about something more? What if she achieves her dream and then some another man crosses her way?

"Michael," he said, his eyes unable to pull away from her pale hues. Her smile was like the clouds parting and the suns' rays warming his face. "Michael Corleone." She smiled and took his hand, shaking it and secretly finding pleasure in his roughened palm. "Ilaria. Ilaria Cuneo."

Sofia Francesca is the youngest member of the Corleone family. She is smart, she is driven, she is capable, and she is loved. Until Tony Buratti. Through bloodshed, sex, lies, tears, and blasphemy... can the Corleones forgive one another their sins? "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you." -Ephesians 4:31-32 Trigger warnings for sexual assault and violence against women, as well as graphic depictions of murder and violence. Particularly upsetting chapters will always have warnings as a preface. Important notes: •Some dates and canonical elements established in the Godfather series (both Mario Puzo's novels and Francis Ford Coppola's films) have been changed in order to better suit the timeline and plot of "I Do Renounce Them". •All of the major characters in this story except for Sofia Corleone were created and curated by Mario Puzo, Francis Ford Coppola, and the actors who portrayed them. The way I write them in this story is intended to closely resemble their personality traits and thought processes in the series, but because of very critical changed circumstances in this alternate universe, some of their world views and actions will differ from what I see as being their canonical world views and actions. •This story is for entertainment purposes only, and it is intended to be a rewritten version of what occurs in the Godfather universe, or rather, what would happen in the Godfather universe if Vito Corleone's youngest daughter were a woman like Sofia Corleone.

Luisa Vitale would be the perfect don if she wasn't a woman. Orphaned at nine, Luisa watched her brothers inherit the family business without her, the new Don Vitale becoming a walking terror in her life. Her childhood friend Michael Corleone offers everything that is expected of her: a marriage, children, romance-Luisa loves him, but she wants more.
