Julie London’s Cry Me a River is playing loudly in the kitchen, so Sonny didn’t hear the kitchen door unlock. The door flings open and Sonny put down his newspaper to see why Diana is going out. He doesn’t see the figure behind, only the figure pointing the revolver at him. He ducks swiftly under the dining table as the first shot flies across. He thinks to himself, where is the nearest gun? The sharp cry of Diana breaks his line of thought and he hears a loud thud. The man is on the floor and Diana is covered in blood, on top of the intruder. “It’s done.” She says, and drops the bloodied knife on the floor. For a moment he is lost, how did he enter? he knows that door is never opened, he doesn’t even know where the key is. He picks up the gun and points it at her. “The key.” He says, ignoring the fact that Diana’s eyes are pleading, but he sees it. Guilt. “This was the only way Sonny. You wouldn’t have believed if I told you.” Sonny screamed. “Tell me what?” Sonny doesn’t know what to think when on a debt collection the business owner offered him his daughter as payment for months of debt. It was either the money or his life but when he saw his daughter, he figured it wasn’t such a bad idea. And so she was his, and lived in his house. As the story unfolds, the two navigate their unlikely relationship until they can no longer ignore each other, as well as ambition within the crime family and rift with the other families. What follows is a discovery of love, near death experiences, a test of loyalty, greed, ambition and betrayal. Will they find a way to coexist? Will Sonny’s decide between ambition or loyalty? Will both make it out alive? Read on and embark on a nail-biting journey.
