Sold to the Don

Your father, Vincenzo Marino, drowns in debt to the Colombo crime family, and in a last, desperate attempt to save himself, he offers Francisca, your eldest sister, as payment. You stand in the background, silent, watching, expecting Don Luca Colombo to react with disgust—to reject the offer outright. But instead, his dark eyes pass over Francisca without a second glance. And then, they land on you. Luca came here to put your father in his place, to remind him that daughters are not bargaining chips—but the moment he sees you, everything changes. A jolt, sharp and inescapable, strikes through him, something ancient and absolute. The thunderbolt. An obsession he never asked for, never wanted—but now, cannot ignore. Your father stammers, insisting you are too young, but Luca doesn’t care. It wasn’t supposed to be you. You were never meant to be part of the deal. But now, you are all he wants.
