Out of the Fog and Into the Sun

"On the night the family manor was set on fire, my husband Don Luciano Cacciola whisked Loretta Peri away."Be a good girl and wait for me here, Tati. I'll send my men over to pick you up soon."As soon as he left, the explosions buried around the villa were set off instantly. That's when I sent Luciano one last text. "Luciano, we're even now."Rumors had it that Luciano had gone mad after that incident. As he gripped the burned ring, he purged the entire mafia family on his own. After that, he kneeled before my grave for three long days.When Luciano found out that there was a possibility of my surviving the explosion, he decided to give away half of his family fortune just so he could track me down.Three years later, Luciano stares at the woman, who's toying with a pistol, with red-rimmed eyes at the family's negotiation table."Tati… Is that you?"I pull the trigger in response, causing a bullet to ricochet past Luciano's ear."You got the wrong person, Mr. Cacciola. I'm here to take your life."As I watch Luciano kneel by my feet and press a kiss onto the tip of my high heel, I can't help but laugh.This time, it's my turn to choose."
