Chapter 1  Victor’s POV Finally summer break is over, I'm on my way back to Yale to start my last year of college. My last year of law school  I hated and loved it at the same time . Arriving a week early to “clean up" my dorm room I finally got away from my family or better said my father. Don Bertoli the great leader of the Boston mafia, A-hole first class I hate him and everything he stands for. He’s a hardcore criminal with goons doing his bidding. Drugs,weapons,murder,human trafficing it’s al in a days work. That’s why my older brother got his business degree at Harvard, he would take over the business side of the organization and he couldn’t wait to do so. I on the other hand was forced to study law to keep taps on the legal side of things or to keep the goons out of jail. At the tender age of 5 I already knew how to kill someone with a bobby pin or a simple pencil. I know sick right but hey if you're a Bertoli it’s kill or be killed. I hate it and I will do what it takes to escape this life. I have planned everything out to the point I even did a second course online,agricultural science  You don’t know how happy I am with my  photographic memory,what I see and read I remember. All I want is a simple life,to work hard and get my hands dirty. No not with blood but with soil.  I want to be a farmer,I want to grow organic crops , I want a farm,a white picket fence,a loving wife, kids and a dog named spot. All I have now is a family I hate in the depths of my soul,a girl I'm supposed to marry.  She is so fake and full of plastic that tupperware ran out of it. I truly hate her guts. This is and will never be what I settle for mia cara madre (my sweet mother) didn’t want this for her ragazzino (little boy). Before she died she made me promise I will do whatever it takes to get out of this life and to follow my dreams. Her marriage was arranged to form an alliance with the maffia in the old country and for her it was a living hell. After she gave my father two heirs and she raised us until I was 15 she got into a “accident”. I was gutted but for my father and brother it was business as usual, no tears, no grief nothing. But I will make them pay all of them! I have gathered enough evidence to put them all away for the rest of their stinking lives. I might even send some of them to hell where they belong. All I need now is a solid plan to get this to the right guy to set the wheels of justice in motion. Kiara's POV  Finally summer is over, not  that I had much of a summer break being my dad’s intern. I love the man to the moon and back, but man seriously. Dad is the district attorney in the city of Boston and all he wants is for his little girl to follow in his footsteps. But I really don’t want to ,being the D.A is no walk in the park it's really dangerous work. Especially with my father’s vendetta against the mafia. Trust me I understand, after my mom got killed to get my dad to back off in a case against the Marinaro family in New York he went nuts . He handed over the reins of this case to the assistant D.A and got himself transferred to Boston to keep me safe. He kept a low profile until Vincent Bertoli,the future don of Boston married  Nessa Marinaro to form a strong alliance. This union woke the pitbull up and dad found the bone he needed to finally go after the man that ended my mom’s life. I miss my mom so much, i was only 5 when she died but before she let out her last breath she told me to follow my dreams no matter what. After I told my dad I wanted to study agricultural science he looked at me like I grew a second head . He smacked me across my face and told me to get my head out of the clouds. Getting revenge for my mother’s death was more important to him than my dream to start an organic farm with maybe some biological meat cows. I want the farm, I want the white picket fence,iI want my man,the kids and a dog named spot. All I have now is my dad who watches me like a hawk hell bent on revenge. I have no freedom ,I've never had a boyfriend , I never been kissed I live my life in a golden cage. That’s  why I'm so happy dad let me go to Yale, it was a family tradition my grandpa and dad both got their law degree here. It’s my final year,the last chance for me to form a plan to finally get what I yearn for. To finally get what I have always dreamed of. Now all I need is my final plan and find my man to put the wheels in motion. Tex's POV  Mommmmm I wine I have to get going or I'll miss my flight. I give my mom a look as my dad walks out of the house. Come on Doris let the boy leave already, he still has a long flight and drive back to Yale. He wraps his arms around her waist and whisper yells RUN to me. Uncle Mason joins them on the porch, come boy get going you're going to miss your flight he says. I roll my eyes,well duhh that's what I've been telling mom but she won't let me go. My mom starts to sob about how her baby is leaving again and that she can't live without me. I tell ya I love the woman to death but the drama ugh. I know, I know,I have the best family in the world,we live on a cattle farm that my mom owns.  My dad and uncle are both Texas Rangers and uncle Mason lives with us. They say it's easy when they work on a case together, Uhhu I know better. Let me tell ya the Hamlock brothers are known and feared by a lot of people. They are the ones helping Victor gather evidence against his father and keeping it safe so he can finally be free and live the life he always wanted.  I finally get into my car to drive to the storage lockers at the airport to store my car and catch my flight. When I'm in the air my mind wanders to Victor and Kiara, damn I missed them so much. This year,my last year in college I will do whatever it takes to claim what is mine. Not even the mafia or D.A will stand in my way. I lean my head back and before I drift off in a peaceful sleep I think about my loves one more time.
