Red and blue lights is all you remember from the night of your third birthday, other than the memory of seeing your father being taken away in cuffs and put into the back of a police cruiser.

Your father, Xavier White is the boss to Italy’s biggest and most powerful mafia. Your mother, cried that day, begging the police to release him, claiming he was innocent. Your father had been convicted after being exposed by someone. Your grandfather, the Don of your families mafia, had been fighting back and forth to get your father out.

You see, you come from an ‘Old world money’ family. Woman have their positions, men have theirs. And some on street level while others aren’t. But you? You’re the proud jewel of the family. Of the mafia. Your older brothers Charles, Thomas and Micheal, in that order too, became your protectors once your father was taken away.

And currently, now for your sixth birthday, you’re being taken with your mother to see your father. A rare visitation but it’s happening. Dressed in a little Pearl white picnic dress, with your hair pulled half up with a diamond white bow, and little white Mary janes, you sit in the backseat, in your car seat, your mother, Camilla Lynette White, is to the left of you as the car drives along the road.
