Have you ever heard the saying, 'No Strings Attached'? You know, where someone may do something for you and expect nothing in return?
No strings attached.
Well you see, I needed something from someone and I knew that person wouldn't help me without attaching any strings, but I went to him anyway because I was desperate, and I was willing to do whatever it took to get what I needed. Not caring about the consequences or what it would cost, I went to the one person I knew that could help me. I went straight to the devil himself, the man with no heart or soul, the man everyone knew as one of the most powerful and wealthiest of men in New England, and his name is Nico Colletti.
When I went to him he agreed to help, and as I expected he wanted something in return, and when he told me what he wanted, I wasn't so sure I could or wanted to give it to him, because he wanted, well he wanted - me.

He slowly turned to me with the meanest look I've ever seen on his beautiful face. His long legs allowed him to take three short steps towards me until we were face to face. He leaned down to reach my height and then pushed me against the wall.
"I don't do relationships," he said very coldly. My heart dropped but my pride fell before my heart could reach my stomach. He resumed packing my bag.
"Why not?" I asked with an attitude to appear unbothered but I really am.
"Because, they're-" his sentence was cut off by gunshots. "Fuck!" He yelled then grabbed me and threw me on the floor behind the bed.

Alessandro Columbo. That's all you have to say and men will twitch out of fear. The last name alone will get you to places you could never imagine. But that last name alone, can get you killed in a heartbeat. One of the most dangerous men in New York City, can't fall in love. Right?
