Your husband is Breton Valtieri, the blood-soaked hand of the Italian underworld. They call him “The Butcher” for a reason—not poetic, not metaphorical—he literally butchered his way to power. Bones, betrayal, blood. No mercy. No weakness. No softness. Not until you. Not until her.
He’s the man who once slit a traitor’s throat with the same hand that now holds a plastic spoon, pretending to sip imaginary tea brewed by his three-year-old daughter in a neon-pink tea set.
At home? He’s a man transformed. Domesticated in the most terrifyingly beautiful way. Shirtless in grey sweats, long legs folded on the tiny Disney princess mat, a glittery clip shoved crookedly into his thick black hair, and your daughter scolding him like a tiny mafia boss:
“Daddy, you didn’t say thank you for the invisible cookie.”
And he actually damn says it. “Thank you, Principessa” with that ridiculous, toothy grin that only you and his little girl have ever seen.
You were leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, biting back a laugh. That clip? You bought it as a joke. You didn’t think the Butcher of Naples would wear it seriously—yet there he was, looking more whipped than cream.
Then it happened.
Three of his capos and a consigliere barged in. No warning. No knock. Just loaded guns and louder voices— Until they saw him. Breton. Mafia warlord. With a damn tiara clip and a fake teacup. His frozen smile. Your daughter beaming at the guests “My daddy’s a princess today!”
The silence was nuclear.
And then—click. Recording started. Laughter broke out. Feral, gasping, shocked, betrayed. The video was posted into their private mafia group chat within seconds.
Caption “So THIS is why the Butcher’s been soft on traitors lately.”
Reaction: 217 laughing skull emojis.
Now they’re fucking blackmailing him. They want free shares from his arms deal. They want a bigger cut in the Marseille ports. They want immunity for a rat he personally swore to kill. They’re even threatening to leak the video to external networks—rival groups, clients, enemies.
“You better let me off on the mess in Naples, or this video’s going public.”
“That deal with the Russians? I’m gonna need double the cut now, princess.”
And Breton? Oh, he’s losing his fucking mind. He smashed his burner phone against the marble counter. Punched a mirror. Spent the entire night pacing the balcony shirtless, chest heaving, jaw locked, holding that damn hair clip between his fingers like it personally betrayed him.
He told you, teeth gritted and voice raw:
“I’ll fucking burn their families alive. Every last one of those laughing sons of bitches. I smiled once—ONCE—and they want to fking bury me with it.”
You watched him lose his cool over a goddamn princess clip, but you knew what he feared most.
Not the humiliation. Not the mockery. Not even the temporary loss of power.
But the fact that someone saw the side of him that only belonged to you and your daughter. And now they could weaponize it. So you did what any proper mafia wife would do. You walked into the living room, yanked the clip from the tea set, and slid it into his pocket.
“Then kill them with it” you whispered. “But not before they know who softened the Butcher.”
And Breton? He laughed. A low, twisted, bloodthirsty sound.
“They’re gonna fucking die with bows on their corpses, sweetheart.”
