Description
Scarlett Rose Bellucci, 18, had another thing coming if she thought she'd only be getting a teary goodbye from her hot-blooded mamma after breaking the shocking news. But she did what she had to do. She was ready for it. She'd been waiting for it. And now, it was time. ---- Joshua Castellano Camorra, 24, is the undisputed boss of La Costa Nostra (the Italian Mafia). Ruthless, vicious and unfeeling - he is known to be the Heartless Beast of the Underworld. But when a little angel breaks into his home and demands to be part of his world, how will he react? ................... "-But I had a reason! I swear!" I tried to placate my loveably crazy Italian of a mother, who was too busy swinging her barbaric weapon left and right to even aim clearly at her initial target - me. I strategically manoeuvred over and around our kitchen furnishings backwards - narrowly missing the edge of the table from moulding into my buns. Phew. That would've hurt. I remember thinking, before my mums angry broom whacked me squarely on the head. "OUCH!! MUM! CAREFUL!! That's my HEAD! NOT a damn COCONUT!" "Don't flatter than empty head of yours! A coconut would prove more useful than you - by far!" She shrieked, trying to whack me with her swinging stick of doom. "You stupido idiota!!" *Whack!* "Mamma! Please! Calm down! It's not as bad as it sounds." I said, shrugging a little - trying to play it off cool, knowing my mom could see through my every lie. "YOU JOINED THE MAFIA, MIA FIGLIA!" She cried, her eyes now tearing up with evident concern for her only child. "Come hai potuto?!" She whispered, feeling betrayed by only piece of family left. I couldn't answer. I knew she knew the answer to that. I joined the mafia to find answers. *WARNING: strong violence, language, and comical idiocy sprinkled throughout* I will be giving translations throughout but don't hate if it's wrong. I'll be working with my new friend google translate to help with my non-existent languages. :)
