“Deep breath in. Good, now forward fold, letting it out. Halfway
lift, breathing in. Now all the way down, placing your hands
on the outside of your feet on the mat. Hop or step back into plank. Now up
into downward-facing dog,” the yoga instructor on my tablet says in a
soothing but firm voice, and I follow along, doing exactly as she explains,
the sweat trickling from my hairline and down the sides of my face. I force
myself to breathe as I stare down at the floral print of my yoga mat, trying
to clear my mind of the absolute mockery that is my life.

Trapped. Any other person in the world outside The Ruin would say
that’s what I am. A modern-day Rapunzel in my tower. But I was brought
up this way, so I know nothing outside of this lifestyle. I was born to be a
bargaining chip. As soon as it was announced I was a girl, there was no
question as to what my duty to the family would be: to marry someone who
would solidify our place in the Cosa Nostra, making our foothold even
stronger.
I knew I would marry Ferro Fetulli before I even knew my
multiplication table. And since this was how my mom and dad, my aunts
and uncles, my cousins, and most of the other people I was permitted to be
around lived, I didn’t know any different. Sure, I’ve read and heard about
those who marry for love. I’ve seen TV shows and movies about “normal”
people finding a love match and getting their happily ever after. But to me,
that isn’t normal. That is strange. In fact, it sounds a bit exhausting. So not a
single question was ever uttered from my lips when it was time to make it
official with my betrothed, which was four years ago, the day I turned
twenty-one.
We consummated the marriage that night, just like my mother had told
me. And a week out of every month since then, he’s come to me in order to
try to get me pregnant, whether for an heir or for a bargaining chip just like
me.
But what he doesn’t know… and what I would be punished severely for
if he were to ever find out… is that I’m on birth control—one of my very
few acts of rebellion.
I know my place. I may act in my role as the perfect mafia wife. I may
not be familiar with any other lifestyle. But in no way do I want to carry on
the Fetulli bloodline. Because I would never want my child to have to live
this life, a never-ending cycle of rules and fear. Especially if I were to have
a daughter who would be matched with a man like Ferro.
