I would have to force her to take the oath of Omertà because that's the only way I'd be able to tell her everything. "You are sworn by Omertà not to tell anybody anything I'm about to tell you." "And if I do?" I fell silent as I tried to think of a euphemism. "You and whoever you told will face...dire consequences." I visibly saw her gulp before she nodded her head. I took a deep breath and exhaled in an attempt to calm my rapidly beating heart which was little to no help. It's now or never. "My family is apart of the mafia-" I was cut off by her laughter. She was laughing quite hysterically. I thought I had finally pushed her over the edge. "Tesoro-" "I'm sorry! I just thought you said the funniest thing!

She bit her lip and started fiddling with her fingers--things she does when she's anxious. I grabbed her hands making her stiffen.

I proceeded to tell her everything. _________________________________ Highest Rankings 🔅 #1 in bwwn (1/26/2021) 🔅 #1 in bgwb (12/26/2020) 🔅 #5 in smoke (1/28/2021) I don't own any of the photos or media used in the book.
