Chapter 1
I grew up in a mafia family.
The Fiorettis have ruled Venice for generations. Every smuggled kilo of cocaine… every shipping container that went ‘mysteriously’ missing from the docks… every euro paid in extortion…All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
My family got a cut.
Venice itself has always been wealthy. Back in the Middle Ages, it was one of the richest cities in the entire world.
Over the years, things got a lot worse for Venice – but not for my family. At least not as far as money was concerned.
I was born into the lap of luxury. Armani, Fendi, Balenciaga, Versace, Dolce and Gabbana, Ferrari… those were names I grew up around from the time I learned to talk.
You see, I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
It was solid gold and studded with diamonds.
But there was a price.
There’s always a price.
