With a hand over my heart, over the cross pendant, I’d told him everything.

About the night I’d found Alonso in the brothel when I was pregnant, how our son came into the world. I talked about my father’s death, how I’d always suspected it was Alonso’s doing, how vile and evil my husband had turned out to be, and how power and success had changed him.

I’d told Father Roberto everything and when I was done, I’d felt a strange sense of calmness, gratitude and relief. Someone had listened to my story, someone had stood beside me while I admitted everything, my own mistakes, the frivolous ambitious of my youth…

I’d married a powerful Mafioso to become a queen: rich and strong, envied by the high society. I’d embraced the darkness, followed in my father’s footsteps, thinking I could fool the world and have everything my heart desired—easy money, jewellery, prestige—believing the devil wouldn’t want anything in return, not thinking for one second that he would burn me.

But he did.

And God had been looking down at me, at my guilty dark soul, watching me burn dramatically, burn to ashes as I’d sat in the house of the Lord looking for forgiveness, for strength.
