To gain them, at my father's insistence, I'm going to offer my hand in marriage to a suitable husband of my choosing. Only fools would involve their hearts in something like this. It is going to be a business deal, not a love match, for my heart has been shattered and never healed. Let the search begin. Rafael I was born to lead the Northern Italian-American Mafia. I relish in the violence and bloodshed that come with the Don position. And yet I'm missing something vital. Her. It's been 5 years since I've last seen my little Star.
