Chapter 1
I grew up in a mafia family.
The Fiorettis have ruled Venice for generations. Every smuggled kilo of cocaine… every shipping container that went ‘mysteriously’ missing from the docks… every euro paid in extortion…NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
My family got a cut.
Venice itself has always been wealthy. Back in the Middle Ages, it was one of the richest cities in the entire world.
Over the years, things got a lot worse for Venice – but not for my family. At least not as far as money was concerned.
I was born into the lap of luxury. Armani, Fendi, Balenciaga, Versace, Dolce and Gabbana, Ferrari… those were names I grew up around from the time I learned to talk.
You see, I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
It was solid gold and studded with diamonds.
But there was a price.
There’s always a price.
