The Roríguez cartel is spinning out of control, tragedy putting the alliance and our future in question.
I'm Emiliano Ruiz and throughout the last few years, I've witnessed my sisters being doled out to members of the Luciano Mafia. The cartel has also taken famiglia women. It doesn't matter if it's the Luciano famiglia's turn to take a bride.
My mind is set-it's my turn.
I never imagined marrying a young bride until I caught sight of Isabella Luciano. She's only eighteen, and with her long yellow hair and big brown eyes, she's a vision to behold. She sees me, however, through the tinted lens of her father's hatred.
Carmine Luciano's disdain of the cartel and the alliance isn't a secret. His opinion won't stop me. I'll prove to Isabella that even bad men can be good husbands.
No matter what her father says or what happens in our war, Isabella will be mine.
