ANGELO

I thought the worst news I could have ever gotten was to hear that Lillian could possibly never have children. I was wrong. The worst news I could have ever received was from my father. The minute the plane landed at JFK, Mr. Vicci and my father greeted me on the tarmac.

“Son,” my father said, “the Grandanettis have your mother and sister. Tonight, we strike back, bring your mother and sister home and end the life of every member of their family.”

Christ, my mother and sister being held hostage was never anything I ever expected to hear. God was punishing me for my actions. Taking Lillian’s virginity and even daring to dream that I could have a life with her as something other than her bodyguard has cursed her and my family. This is my punishment for being a selfish man.

Killing doesn’t bother me. I feel nothing when I kill. It doesn’t haunt me, the thought of taking a life, because I know those lives belong to men equally as evil as I am. There is no honor in what I do. Lillian once called me her Jekyll and Hyde. She knew what I did for the family, but she saw the real me underneath it all. That’s the selfish me who thought I could have everything. I can’t change yesterday, but I can change tomorrow, and that is why I can’t go back to her. I can’t sleep in the same room, let alone the same bed, and smell her sweet smell, feel her warm body next to mine, and stay sane.

No, when this is all over, and my mom and sister are safe, I’ll agree to go back and protect Lillian, but only from afar. My penance will be to give up the only thing I truly love.
