A Monster's Little Principessa
I was raised by Dante Moretti.
Dante used to say, "My little principessa is the most perfect, obedient girl."
But at eighteen, his perfect girl ran away with his most trusted man.
The day I was dragged back, he possessed me for the entire night.
"Baby, he must have tricked you into leaving, right?"
"It's alright. I've already sent him to the bottom of the Hudson River. He can't take you away from me ever again."
For every time I called him a madman, he took me again.
All of New York knew that Don Moretti, a man as cold-blooded as they come, was a monster who coveted his own adopted daughter.
But he didn't care. He publicly announced our marriage, drove away every man in my life, and locked me in a golden cage in his Manhattan penthouse.
He cherished me with a disturbing, devout tenderness.
But one day, the cage was unlocked by a pregnant woman. Dressed in a white gown, she was the very picture of innocence.
"Dante said you were tainted, so only my child with him can inherit everything from the Moretti family."
So that was the real reason for my repeated miscarriages.
But Dante forgot… a girl raised by a monster becomes a monster, too.
