You’ve Got Fire

"My fiance, Simon Rossi, is a mafia Don with a reputation for brutality. He suddenly takes in an orphan girl and spoils her rotten.He names her Giara, saying she's pure, like a beam of light. But that is the name he has promised for our future daughter.He thinks he's hidden it well. But the night before our engagement party, I notice his cufflinks. The ruby ones I gave him are replaced with cheap plastic cartoon cats.I don't believe he's really cheating, so I abduct Giara to get answers without hurting her.Then Simon bursts in with his men. 50 people die, and three armories go up in flames."Ivina Coleo, consider this a lesson. But don't worry. I'll send her away. Remember, this is the first time you touch her, and the last."But at the engagement party, Giara sits with Simon's parents, smiling right at me.The sight sparks a fury I can't control. I lunge forward, determined to send her away myself.Simon tells Giara to leave, coaxing me through the ceremony.But that night, he binds my limbs with stones and sinks me into the sea."I told you that was the last time."Cold water fills my lungs.When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day I first abducted Giara.This time, I don't want Simon or the wedding anymore."
