SOPHIA
Most little girls dream of their wedding day. I was no different
growing up. It’s funny how your youth blinds you to reality.
Maybe if I had been born into a normal family, I’d still be
fantasizing about my big day, but I was not. I was born a Scalingi. It didn’t
take me long to notice that my family was different. We don’t play by the
same rules as everyone else. Even the kids at school stayed away from me.
I’d heard their parents whispering not to play with me. It only pushed me to
stay among my own family and the people they brought around. They were
all I had. All I knew. It’s not my fault that most of my family members
aren’t good people. I didn’t choose this life, and I would never get to.
I lie on the bed looking at the garment bag that hangs in my closet, and my
stomach turns at what’s to come. I want to run, but I know that’s not an
option. Where would I go? They would find me no matter where I hid.
There is no escaping this life. They know I can’t escape. I’d never leave my
little brother Marco behind. I can’t be positive they wouldn’t use him
against me.
Hell, for all I know, he could become like our own father and grandfather
one day, but right now, he’s the only person I truly love on this earth.
There’s still hope for him to grow up and be different than those ruthless
men. He’s the one thing that can hurt me, and they all know it. They haven’t
used him as a threat, but they wouldn’t hesitate if I decided to buck their
authority. There’s not a line my father wouldn’t cross to get what he wants.
I don’t have to be told the rules to know what they are. So I do as I’m
supposed to. I knew this day would come, the day I’d be sold to some made
man looking for a mafia princess. It is common for daughters to be married
off, but it’s as though they were counting down the seconds until I turned
eighteen to hand me over. But it doesn’t matter. I’ve accepted my fate in the
name of giving Marco a chance.
I don’t want to marry Antonio Tuscani, but my grandfather has other plans
for me. I almost can’t stomach being in the same room as my vile groom,
but I’ll walk down the aisle to give him my hand in marriage in only a few
hours. All to please my family. All to be loyal. All for Marco. Marriages in
my family aren’t about love, but power and position. I’m a pawn in this
game of chess. My grandfather, Pasquale, by using me, will guarantee our
family’s position, and my father, Lorenzo, will do whatever my grandfather
orders. From any angle, I’m screwed.
Not wanting to stare at the bag any longer, I roll over. A tear slips out of my
eye, but I quickly wipe it away. There’s no use crying because it won’t
change anything.
