The Mafia's Secret Daughter ( #1 in the Mafia Series )

{ Tori's POV }

"How did you find that out?" Francesco questions looking at Elena

"Elena didn't tell me if that's what you're worried about. My mother did." I answer

"She knew everything?" My father questions

"She knew enough." I say looking at Angelina

"She was curious little thing." My father Valente comments

"She found papers in your office one day. I told her not to say a word to anyone else outside of me or she could be killed. She didn't get much of a chance to get use to the idea of any of it after what happened with the Russians. I don't think I could blame her for anything after the accident." Angelina explains

"All of the women in this house betrayed me. come faccio a sapere che mia figlia non farà lo stesso." ~how do I know my own daughter won't do the same~ My father says like he's expecting I won't know what he is talking about. So I decide to play along and pretend to be clueless..

"potremmo farla giurare." 
~we could make her swear.~
Francesco says also in Italian in a tone of someone giving a suggestion they don't really want to give. My guess he doesn't believe I would make it through whatever process it is or that I would turn out to be like my mother and try to run.

"How much do you know?" Luca questions me as he stares me down

"She knows everything." Marco answers before I can but still Luca's eyes never left my direction.

"I think she should. It would be interesting." Enzo aka Lorenzo adds in

"What if she chooses not too?" Riccardo questions

"We would make her." Valente says

"I don't even know if that's possible." Marco says

"What do you mean?" Luca questions still never taking his eyes off of me

"If I am correct she's more like V. I don't know that anyone could make her do something she doesn't want to do." Marco says

Of course not knowing that it could trigger me back into a dark mindset. Because there was one person who made me do something I didn't want.. but I wouldn't tell them that.

"If it helps any of you sleep at night. I'll swear."
I say randomly and everyone's heads snap towards me

"Do you even know what that means?"
Riccardo asks me like I'm crazy

"Omerta means code of silence, and I'm assuming you have some kind of ritual test thing that I would have to do to be accepted. This isn't exactly a fitness club you pay to join. It's the mafia. Of course it isn't going to be a cake walk." I reply back calmly

All of them look at me as if I've lost my head.

"Why?" Luca asks while analyzing me

"Why what?" I question slightly challenging him with a raised eyebrow

Luca sends me a slight glare.
