My head snaps up. “No,” I whisper.
“I’m sorry. You’ve brought this on yourself.”
“I am not getting married!” I yell while trying very hard to keep the tears at bay, but they come anyway, blurring my vision.
“There’s nothing I can do, sis.” Angelo gets up from the chair and walks toward me, crouching at my feet. “If it were just you, I could have arranged to get you out of the country or something. But it’s the whole Family on the line here.”
My brother’s right, there isn’t anything he could do. Saying no would mean war. People would die because of me and my stupidity. I knew the risk of coming to Ajello’s territory and decided to come anyway.
“I f****d up big time, didn’t I?” I sniff.
“Yes, you did. I’m sorry.”
“So, who am I arranged to marry?”
He grabs my hand and just watches me
