I was normal before this. Before him.
Normal job, normal flat, the bliss normality of the ignorance of all the real monsters. I used to think that one time murderers were what went bump in the night. But compared to Xavier Falicci? Child's play.
And I was happy in my ignorance. So so happy.
Then he stole me from my life.
Made me watch people be murdered.
Made me murder people.
But he made me feel things, so many different things.
Through all of the pain, through all of the pleasure, through every emotion that he's made run through my veins, I try to think of a worse way to live.
Because being his captive has changed me. Changed everything about me. As soon as I was kidnapped, the old Brooklyn died. The old me, the one who knew the difference between good and evil, right and wrong, justice and redemption.
But, you know, through it all, all of the madness since that fateful night, I've realised something.
Life isn't like that. Life isn't serving justice and slamming the prison cell door then riding off into the mafia free sunset. It's harder than that. Rougher.
And Xavier has shown me everything that I wanted.
Who knows, maybe being the mafia boss' kidnapped detective fuck buddy wasn't that bad after all...

A stripper.
An Italian mafia boss.
And an unexpected pregnancy.
Andrea Capaldi was a selfless woman who would do anything to help her family when they needed it. When her fathers restaurant started to fall apart after giving away almost all of his earnings to low life gangsters, Andrea knew she had to do something before their family restaurant could be foreclosed on.
Desperate times call for desperate measures and she took a job at a strip club where she knew she could make fast and easy money.
But what Andrea didn't expect to happen was to fall pregnant by a man she was giving a private dance to. The clubs number one rule was to never go home with the client because it would only lead to two things: obtaining and STD or getting pregnant.
And after one toe curling night, she wounded up pregnant with an unknown man, who happens to be Europes most feared and respected don named Matteo Salvatore.
Matteo Salvatore was a man who people feared and respected. After taking over his fathers legacy he destroyed cities and built empires in his name so everyone knew that he was the godfather of power and status. He cared for no one and he wanted to keep it that way until that one unexpected night.
Everything he believed in was thrown out the window and all he could think about was claiming her as his. And once he found out she was carrying his child the need grew stronger until he finally found the leverage he needed to forcefully make her his. It wasn't going to be easy but he always loved a challenge.
...
"You may not love me now, but I intend to have that changed."
If this is the way of him saying he loved her, she was utterly shocked. Love was such a powerful word to use, and it takes a big person to come out and declare it. Even though he didn't specifically use those three big words, it spoke volumes.
Andrea responds, shocking the both of them as she states, "then prove it."
