His Puppet

They call me Blade because they don't know my real name. 

And no one would ever dare to ask. I'm a capo in the Gruco Crime Family and a man who's accustomed to going unchallenged. No one would be stupid enough to go against me… Except for the pickpocket foolish enough to steal from the familia. 

She's nothing but a thief, a nuisance, but she catches my attention. She's clever, cunning, sexy, and above all… useful. The burden of deciding her fate is thrown onto me, and it's good news for her because I don't waste talent. 

I let her decide. Work for me… or choose a fate worse than death. 

A note about Gruco Crime Famiy:

His Pet - DARK. Lorenzo is out for revenge, and he's going to get it. 

His Prize - Gritty and spicy but not very dark with an alphahole hero and a forbidden love. 

His Puppet - Mid-level dark with a captive heroine.

His Property - DARK. Hero is a sadist who loves pain play. 

His Passerotta - Low-level dark with a captive heroine and a hero who is soft with her.
