Warning: This short story broaches serious themes. Reader be warned. Still, rest assured that a happy ever after is guaranteed.
To hell with the mafia rules that reduce women to trophies passed from hand to hand.

Carmen (Cara) Scarlotta followed the path her family laid out for her until she met someone she loved even more than her own life.
Dario, a senior enforcer in her brother’s organization.
After abandoning her principles, she seduced him until Dario stopped caring whether he lived or died.
Claiming you were ready to die was one thing, flaunting a forbidden relationship was another. The lovers kept their secret hidden and pretended her arranged marriage was not drawing near. Their denial bought them nothing. Soon they would be forced to walk away or face the consequences.
When two people vowed body, heart, and life, a moment of judgment comes when each must decide if the other is truly worth dying for.
