Prologue
Addison
I knew when I saw him, I had to have him, but knew it was not a clever idea. He was the bad boy from the other side of the tracks. Ty always ran with criminals. That did not stop the want I had for him. Just one taste was all needed. Until one turned into more because we could not get enough of each other. Ty just wanted to have s*x. I know that because he never stayed after. Always got dressed and left. I did want him to always stay there. It did not have to be night, but he could still have stayed, and we could have talked or watched TV. I was starting to fall for him and would get upset when he never talked to me. It was always about me, and I wanted to know more about him. I felt protected and at home with him. When I was never too confident in myself, or outspoken. I always hide away from everyone. I kept my head down and did what I had to do. I am not that perfect, but I am not ugly. I may be short with a round face, blue eyes and blonde hair that comes down to the middle of my back. I am not skinny, but not fat either. I do not consider myself pretty at all, but my friends all tell me I have a body to die for, with my hair and eyes that goes with my pale completion. That all changed the moment I met Ty, when he told me I was the most beautiful girl he ever met. We moved here from Columbus, Ohio to Geneva, New York. My father was killed, my mother got r***d and the man tried to r**e me to, but I killed him. I had a hammer on my nightstand from fixing my pictures on the wall above my headboard. So, when Jasper came into my room and tried to force himself on me, I grabbed the hammer and just started hitting him with it, until he no longer flinched when I hit him. Mom came running in and grabbed ahold of me, crying her eyes out that day. I beat Jasper to death all because my father could not stop gambling. I had just got into bed, mom and dad were in their room getting ready to lay down, when we heard the glass break down the hall, mom, and dad ran into my room. Dad looked at both of us telling us to stay there and not to go out until he came back. I was scared that day and I cried so much. Then we heard a shot go off and dad screamed out, then everything went deathly silent. Then Jasper yelled GET THE HELL OUT HERE KALISTA, AND PAY ME WHAT YOUR DEAD HUSBAND OWE ME. I begged her not to leave me alone and not go out there. I did not know what would happen to her and I knew she did not know for sure either. Mom left and tried to tell the man she did have the money for him and did not even know dad had borrowed money again. I heard a slap and mom started to cry. She yells no, please no, and I go to the door and open it just to freeze in place. He is on top of my mom. I did not know at the time he was r****g her until she said that a few months later. What I saw was him on top of her and pounding into her so hard that she was crying, and he was pulling her hair. I screamed at the site, and he looked up and got off mom and came at me then. I ran back into my room and tried to close the door, but he overpowered me. Waking up to me screaming and drenched in a cold sweat. Blinking, I replay everything that happened that day because I remember that day perfectly. Damn nightmares, they are back again, and it drains the fight in me out and leaves me broken. That is until I saw him. I knew I could not stay away.
Ty
“Ty, you need to be aware of everything, do not show weakness, show them who is the boss, who has the power, and the strength to stand in this position. Our family did not build this empire for nothing. We built it for our families to live a good life with a lot of money and beautiful women to stand by our side when we choose who we want to be with” said Dad. The boss, Tony Geno, my father, was the Don, and no one could stop him. His pride and joy were mom and me. We always had everything we wanted. Dad is pushing me to take over as soon as I am done with school. I do not want to be so cold when being the boss like he is because he only cares about me, me, and himself. Sweaty and beaten down by dad puts me in a bad mood. Shaking the memory away, I continue to look over the business the dad has money going through. Hey, pops" I say, and he replies" Yes son. Can we look into expanding our business so we can keep the right amount of money going through everything? We have a few restaurants that have too much money coming in and not enough customers coming in. Why don't we not investigate buying some clubs and more restaurants? That way we can divide the money between all the businesses. That way, one investigates it. Let me talk to Milo and see what he thinks, but I am all in son that is the best plan I have heard in a long time. This summer was rough, but I was ready for all of this to be over, until I saw her that night at the grocery store. She never even saw me. That is when I knew I could not stay away, but had to. I had to do a double take the first time I ever saw her. We were in school. There were these girls who thought they were bad bitches. They decided that day to pick on Addison because she always wore worn-down clothes and never did anything to impress anyone. She was just a plain girl, as they like to call them. When they went to call her name, I stepped in and stopped them, but that was after they called her fatherless slut. When I looked over at her she had tears in her eyes, but she kept them from falling. Such a brave and innocent girl. I felt a pull towards her and could not figure out why. So, I made up my mind. I would make her mine in any way I could have her. I am a troublemaker and hang out with a lot of my dad’s friend’s kids. We all grew up together wanting our dads wanting us to take over their businesses. I have seen some things no teenager should have to see but I did them because of what my father is. He is the Don, the boss, he gives the orders and watches to make sure the job is done right. That is what he is training me for to take his stop so he and Ma can go off somewhere and live a peaceful life beyond the mafia. Right now, I am taking care of the drugs and prostitution rings he has and trying to finish high school. I do work out in the morning before school and run to clear my head. I am six feet tall and have muscles everywhere. I have an eight pack, so it is not hard to get girls when I want to. There is something about her that I want, and I will have her just wait and see.
