I am his mail-order bride. THE BRIDEThe writing I spied on that gold-embossed paper inside Father's office was a tiny window into the twisted darkness that would become my future. It said nothing about arranged marriages sealed with blood oaths, or death threats over broken vows. Father would only say that marrying me off was for the benefit of the family legacy. Mother let it slip that Father was being blackmailed.
I put two and two together. Father was desperate. His mafioso dealings had caught up to him. I was his last bargaining chip. Mother convinced herself that I would be happier finishing college in California. She promised I only had to endure the marriage for three years. My choices have been made for me. All I can do is make the best of it until I earn my freedom. But I've learned that some vows can never be broken, and the only way out is death.*check TW's
