He Never Claimed Me in Public,So I Wed the Don Who Never Forgot Me

There were two tickets to the opera tucked in the breast pocket of Lorenzo Vitale's suit jacket, and I thought they were a surprise for me.

I waited for the night of the performance with my heart fluttering, only for him to leave for the docks on Family business with both tickets in hand.

I called in a favor and paid a small fortune to get a seat of my own, and I watched with my own eyes as he kissed another girl right there beneath the music.

The two of them flashed up onto the great hall's screen, lost in a kiss, eyes brimming with tears.
