Summary
In 1933, Elizabeth Colvin never could have imagined that moving to the big city of New York from her family farm to pursue a career in journalism would land her in the middle of two rival mafia families, but when one boss ends up trafficking children, she can't just do nothing, especially when she learns that she'd nearly been one of them.
(Note: This isn’t a smut story, nor is it one where sex is withheld until the end. Vittorio would be a supreme asshole if he and Elizabeth were to hook up at the end after everything that will happen. If you want something with tons of sex, or something where sex is withheld until the end, then this isn’t the story for you. Sex is where it is for very deliberate, specific, planned-out reasons.)
(Warning: This story does contain sensitive material including dubious consent, mafia violence, and themes of abuse, though the game itself goes farther than I could make myself write. However, it is not gratuitous, and anything involving children is never described or shown, and it is not there just for shock value. It's deeply relevant to the story. Everything I write into a story is very deliberate and serves a purpose to the overall narrative. If it doesn't, I nix it.)
