Chapter 13 - THE MAFIA BOSS WHO CHOSE HIS WIFE
Leo began changing the Costa organization.
He separated legitimate businesses from criminal operations.
Cooperated with legal authorities.
And reduced the family's involvement in violent disputes.
Some men called him weak.
Others called him foolish.
But Leo didn't care.
One evening, he found Norah studying in the library.
Nursing textbooks covered the table.
He smiled.
“Busy?”
She laughed.
“Very.”
Leo sat beside her.
“Norah.”
She looked up.
“I love you.”
The words stopped her.
She stared.
Leo swallowed.
“I didn't expect to.”
Her eyes filled.
He continued.
“I married you because our families wanted peace.”
He took her hand.
“But somewhere between the wedding and everything that followed…”
His voice broke.
“I fell in love with you.”
Norah began crying.
Then whispered:
“I love you too.”

Leo closed his eyes.
And for the first time, the ruthless mafia boss looked completely happy.
