Kisses and Crosshairs

"But I don't want to marry him dad! Why can't you understand?" Sera shouted sitting beside Alessandro. Alessandro didn't raise his voice - he never had to. His words were quite yet they cut deep. "You are the one who needs to understand dear, not me. I have fixed this marriage for your benefit, not mine." How could he ever raise his voice on his princess? But her stubbornness regarding this marriage that he set up for her was something he couldn't let slide. "Sera” Leonardo spoke with a slight disappointment, “what's wrong with you, who teached you to raise your voice on dad?" Leonardo respected his dad very much and never failed to obey him. Yes, he loved his younger sister too but he didn't like the way she was disrespecting Alessandro. "Enough" Only one word rather warning was needed and the whole table went silent. No one in the family dared to speak against Alessandro as he was the head of not only the family but also the biggest mafia group running in Italy. After the dinner, Sera found herself yet again crying in her bed. This had become more sort of a ritual now, ever since the announcement of her engagement with a stranger. A billionaire's son. Sera was the youngest and the only daughter of Alessandro Moretti - the person who runs the biggest mafia group in Italy. The day she was born was the sole day when the world would have witnessed the mafia boss smile. Sera Moretti wasn’t dangerous. Not like her brothers. Not like her father. She didn’t carry a gun or wear blood like perfume. But she could still ruin you—with one tear, one soft whisper of your name, and they’d come for you.All five of them.
