It's America in the 1960's, the peak of gang and Mafia rated activity. The Great Depression has settled, and out if the dust arose an immigrant rooted Mafia titled the "Mezzanotte Mafia".
Two men, Vinny and Robbie, rise from the deep burning ashes of the Depression, and against all odds, concrete themselves into the hearts of New York, trying to get by and make their Mafia known.
Vinny, a small man, and Robbie, a huge lumbering man, are polar opposites, and have seen through it all and have survived starvation, robberies, and dangers many people couldn't even begin to imagine.
However, in the hustling bustling city of a young New York in the 1960's, will these men of opposite abilities be able to see it through once again?

Dear Husband (Sinner's Society:ONE) REWRITING***
#11 IN ACTION (PARIS) Buried deep below the everyday life of our society lives a world of nightmares-of violence and murder no one dares speak about. It is called the Sinner's Society. In the murky waters of Chicago's underworld I'm arranged to marry Alexander Grayson. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat-even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. He is the man who rules Sinner's Society. He is my half brother. Oh yes, he is. A man I've grown up loving and admiring. A man with unexplained wealth, tattoos on his hands, and secrets in his pale blue eyes.

I'm the favored son, they say, the perfect mafia prince. . . or am I? Now, all I can see in the mirror's reflection is blood staining my hands like crimson paint. I was supposed to be perfect wife, the perfect lover but I don't know when did I became the perfect killer. He had to go and kill the one person I loved the most. I don't know what did he expect from me? To still love him unconditionally? My husband is as brilliant as he is beautiful, and twice as deadly. His chaotic world is now the prison I'm forced to call home. A place where nightmares and reality are indistinguishable.

He knows all of my secrets, but he's forgetting that I know his too. If we burn, we burn together. Can Paris trust a heartless, manipulative sociopath? Can a man who doesn't feel fall in love?

His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated.
