chapter one

A disaster caused by the spoiled daughter of Mark Udine

With these words, Elena Udine described what her younger niece Tobia had done. She broke off her engagement to Stefan Marcus, one of the most prominent American mafia leaders in the North, which caused a rift in the relations between the two families, and as a reaction from her father, he removed her from the family as a punishment for her.

Mark directed his words to his younger sister Elena: Calm down, it's over and she was punished

Elena sarcastically: Punish her?!  Why would you let her do that in the first place?!

Mark impatiently: I didn't know about it until it was too late

Elena: Thank God he didn't kill her, she underestimated him in front of everyone

Mark with a sadness he could not hide: so I disavowed her so that her punishment would be to be deprived of the luxury of living with us so that Marcus would not kill her, for he is a damned sadist, and her punishment satisfied him that Mark Udine's daughter works as a waitress in a restaurant

Elena felt her brother's grief, for she knows how much he loves his youngest daughter;  She is a miniature copy of her mother who passed away leaving Tobia and her older sister Vera, since then Mark has not married in her honor.

Elena: How is she doing now?!

Mark sighed: Fine, she works in a restaurant and continues her studies as she dreamed

Elena: Will you invite her to her sister's wedding?

Mark: No, I won't, because only a few months have passed since her punishment

Severe punishment inflicted on his seventeen-year-old daughter for refusing to marry her fiancé and annulling the engagement a few months after it was announced;  She was punished with deprivation of all the advantages of living that arose on, her father thought that her hatred for her father being a member of the Mafia and an essential partner in it would not exceed her grumbling about attending family celebrations or participating in any work related to them, but that it came to insulting one of the greatest leaders by refusing his son and annulling the engagement was the end  Her father's patience with her behavior

In one of the nightclubs sits a young man of striking handsomeness that makes you confused by his nationality;  His sharp blue eyes, his lofty nose like a sword drawn from his sleeve, his pointed chin, and the burgundy color of his skin would make you think of him as Arab or Middle Eastern, but he was Italian, with an Italian father and a black American mother.

One of the girls approached him, trying to draw his attention to her, and her body succeeded in doing so, so she sat next to him and placed her thin fingers painted with blood-colored paint around his shoulder.

Girl: How are you Flip?

Flip stares at her: Fine, Wendy

Wendy: I missed you so much

He surrounded her with his arms with great affection, as if it were a piece of breakable glass. This is his custom, despite his reputation for being harsh in dealing, but he treats women as they should be treated;  Perhaps because he does not care about them, they are tools for entertainment, so he does not tire himself by dealing with them harshly

PHILIP: Me too, my dear, so I said, winking, that you're going to spend the night with me

Wendy happily didn't try to hide it, Philip is an example of the normal man many  that girls wish for themselves

Wendy: Really, will women of the family leave you so easily?

His face wrinkled when she mentioned the family, as she means the Mafia, and he is famous for being the darling of the women in the family, but that did not satisfy him;  None of them will accept to associate themselves with him, since he is a mixed lineage, not a purely Italian one

Philip: Don't worry, I don't represent them more than you do me

  She understood what he was trying to say, he only came to her for fun, yet she couldn't hate him because he had never done anything wrong to her before and he hadn't even tried.

Wendy: Is the wedding date set?!

Flip: Yes, it will be next week. My brother is in a hurry to complete his deal

Wendy mocked him: Why don't you say that he loves that little girl?

Philip: Maybe, but what I know is that it is a deal to connect the two families

Wendy: Aha, now shall we go?

Flip: Come on!

..........................

In a neighborhood of New York City, in an apartment, Tobia lives with her co-worker in a simple apartment that does not suggest extravagance and also does not tend to be poor;  Tobias spent some of the savings left to her by her mother in order to secure herself a suitable home, so that she would not have to suffer from the association of unhealthy people;  After her father left her, he did not pay any attention to her, and what really troubled her was the submission of her older sister to her father's decision and also blaming her for what happened;  Her sister thinks that she is the one who seduced Stefan, and when she got tired of him, she left him and embarrassed her father in front of everyone.

Are you done Tobia?  Annie, her friend, surprised her to get her out of her straying

Tobia: Yes, my dear

They were getting ready to go to work

Annie: ok baby let's go

She went with her colleague to work;  They work in one of the most luxurious restaurants in New York in the evening, and in the morning they go to the university to complete their university studies.  Annie   has no one, so they became like two sisters, making up for each other for the family and the clan

..........................

Will your sister attend the wedding?

Laura, Vera's cousin, asked

Vera sadly: I don't think my father wouldn't allow her to come

Laura with a clear gloating: She deserves it, for she is the one who made herself crazy, and don't forget that she took your place in that sermon, and perhaps that is the reason why your father disowned her for fear of repeating the matter and kidnapping your husband this time as well.

As usual, she poisoned Vera's thinking;  Flora always hated the two sisters, and when she had the chance, she began to spit out her poison and made Tobia and Vera condemn;  Stefan was supposed to get engaged to Vera, but no one knows what happened and made Tobia top the scene so that she got engaged to him, and she broke off the engagement a few months later.

Vera: Rest assured, Frank is not like Stefan and Tobias will not be able to get close to him, I will not allow that happens

Laura sarcastically: I know Frank is not Stefan

Of course, the handsome 30-year-old head of the Giovanni family, the leader of America's most powerful family, based in New York, will not be equal to anyone.

Laura to herself: And I will make sure that I get my place, too
