Hard question about From Unwanted Daughter to Mafia Princess, and it is not aimed at the father.

The Capretti family takes her in, feeds her, protects her. Also this: the Don's own sister wants her out of that house, and it is an assistant who stops it, not the Don. That is the detail I cannot put down.

So the child is safe, but safe because one man decided she was worth something. Same method as the first abandonment: an adult weighing a child. Only the verdict changed, not the procedure.

She is loved, and she is the most dependent person in that house, unable to audit the arrangement. Was she rescued, or re-hired?

✨ What worked for me:
- Nobody in the new family asks what she wants.
- The protection is never conditional on her being good.

✨ Bottom line: being kept and being safe are not the same thing.

Would you sign that arrangement?

— GSH, guilty pleasures, well served 🥂

00:07To be continued...
00:30Little girl, what's your name?
00:32His eyes held so much sorrow. It made me forget Mama's rule about talking to strangers.
00:38Angie.
00:39How old are you, Angie?
00:41Six.
00:42He frowned, his gaze dropping to my soaked raincoat.
00:46Why are you out here alone? Where are your parents?
00:49Hearing the gentle concern in his voice, warm tears rolled down my cheeks.
00:54Mama is dead. And Daddy, he has a new family now.
00:59He threw me away.
01:00Before Mama passed away, she held my hand and told me to always obey Daddy.
01:05My stepmother, Catherine, said I ate too much, so Daddy only fed me once a day.
01:10I obeyed.
01:11My stepsister, Chloe, called me dirty, so Daddy made me sleep on the cold garage floor.
01:16I obeyed that too.
01:18But no matter what, Daddy still hated me.
01:21He just wanted to throw me away.
01:22On Thanksgiving night, rain poured down.
01:26Chloe was screaming for a canola, so Daddy shoved a crumpled dollar bickle into my hand.
01:30Go to 8th Street Bakery. Now.
01:33But it's so far.
01:35Okay, I understand.
01:37I walked for hours through the freezing rain before finally buying the canola.
01:41But when I returned to the apartment, they were all gone.
01:44I waited in the dark, empty room for two days.
01:48Starving and freezing, I found Mama's old notebook.
01:50It had Daddy's work address in the city.
01:52I walked a whole day and night to Manhattan.
01:55Outside the fanciest restaurant in the city, I saw them.
01:58Through the glass, they were clinking glasses, celebrating.
02:01Right then, I knew Daddy was never coming back for me.
02:05I looked down at the stale canola in my hands.
02:07I decided to just eat it.
02:09Just then, near a sleek black SUV, I heard a man begging.
02:13Don, please. You need to take your pills.
02:16I swallowed hard and stepped closer to the open car door.
02:20Are you afraid they're too bitter?
02:22I have a canola. It's very sweet. I can give it to you.
02:26Maybe I approached too suddenly.
02:28The handsome man's striking gray eyes widened.
02:30A harsh gust of wind blew past.
02:32He suddenly started coughing violently.
02:35The bodyguard in the black suit slured and pushed me back.
02:38Where the hell did this stray kid come from?
02:41Get lost!
02:42Don, are you alright?
02:43The shove sent me crashing onto the pavement.
02:46The pastry box slipped from my frozen fingers and hit the wet concrete.
02:50I sat on the freezing ground, staring at the mess.
02:53I guess they don't want it either.
02:55Never mind.
02:56I pushed myself up, grabbed the filthy box and walked away.
02:59A voice, raspy but commanding, echoed behind me.
03:03Wait.
03:04I turned around.
03:05The handsome man had stopped coughing.
03:08He was walking towards me.
03:10He was so handsome, but he looked deeply sick.
03:14Just taking those few vapes had left him breathless.
03:17Little girl, what's your name?
03:19His eyes held so much sorrow.
03:22It made me forget Mama's rule about talking to strangers.
03:26Angie.
03:27How old are you, Angie?
03:29Six.
03:30He frowned, his gaze dropping to my soaked raincoat.
03:33Why are you out here alone?
03:35Where are your parents?
03:37Hearing the gentle concern in his voice, warm tears rolled down my cheeks.
03:42Mama is dead.
03:43And Daddy, he has a new family now.
03:46He threw me away.
03:47Deep down, I had known Daddy didn't want me long before tonight.
03:51I was barely a baby when he left our little home in Yonkers.
03:53He said he was heading downtown to work for the syndicates.
03:56He promised to come back for us once he made it.
03:58For five years, there was only silence.
04:00The neighbors used to whisper behind Mama's back.
04:02Your sal found a Kakapi's daughter downtown.
04:04They even had a little girl together.
04:06Mama didn't believe them, but every night, she left voicemails he never answered.
04:10Earlier this year, Daddy finally came back.
04:12He drove a luxury car and wore expensive, tailored suits.
04:16Beside him was a beautiful, wealthy woman holding a spoiled little girl.
04:19He had a terrible fight with Mama in our cramped kitchen.
04:22Elena, just sign the divorce papers.
04:24Don't make this a mess.
04:25I didn't understand all his words, but I knew Mama was heartbroken.
04:29He walked out with the signed papers.
04:31He didn't even glance at me.
04:33After that, Mama got sick.
04:35The doctor said it was cancer.
04:36She wouldn't survive the winter.
04:37On her deathbed, she held my face with shaking hands.
04:40Angie, when I'm gone, you have to be good.
04:42Always listen to your daddy.
04:44Never make him mad.
04:45It's the only way he'll keep you.
04:47I tried so hard to be good.
04:48When Chloe wanted to play horse, I got on all fours and let her ride me.
04:52When Catherine burned the doll Mom made for me, I didn't even cry.
04:55But they still called me cursed, blaming me for my own mother's death.
04:58And in the end, they threw me away.
05:01The icy wind cut through my thin coat.
05:04In front of me, the handsome Don's eyes filled with pity.
05:08How could any father ever abandon his own child?
05:10Will you give that canala to me?
05:11It's dirty.
05:13It dropped in the puddle.
05:14You can't eat it.
05:15I tried to hide the soggy package behind my back.
05:17But his pale, elegant fingers gently took the box from my hands.
05:21There are clean parts inside.
05:22As he opened the crushed box, the bodyguard beside him panicked.
05:25Don, no!
05:26You can't eat street trash.
05:27It's fine, Bruno.
05:29The handsome Don pinched a piece of the shell that was clean and put it in his mouth.
05:33Instantly, his body went stidic.
05:35He coughed violently, spitting up a mouthful of dark, clotted blood onto the ground.
05:39Don!
05:39Bruno went pale with terror, rushing forward to catch his collapsing master.
05:43Leaving his boss with the other guards, Bruno turned and grabbed my collar.
05:46Brat, who sent you?
05:48Do you have any idea who you just poisoned?
05:50Don Vince Capretti, the most powerful mob boss in New York!
05:53He looked like he wanted to tear me apart.
05:55I kicked and screamed in terror.
05:57Just then, over Bruno's shoulder, I saw Daddy walking out of the restaurant.
06:01Daddy, help me!
06:03Daddy stopped, seeing me being held by the terrifying men in suits.
06:07Not wanting to get involved, he scoffed.
06:09Where did this little beggar come from?
06:11Don't call me Daddy!
06:13He hurried away, pushing Catherine and Chloe into their car without ever looking back.
06:18I was dragged into a massive mansion.
06:20A beautiful but fierce woman glared at me.
06:22Who sent you to kill my brother?
06:24Speak, or I'll feed you to the hounds.
06:25Two massive guard dogs barked, jaws snapping.
06:28I didn't!
06:29I thought a sweet pastry would help him take his medication.
06:31She sneered and reached to unleash the dogs.
06:34Stop!
06:34The Don is awake!
06:36She froze and rushed upstairs.
06:37A guard halted me up right behind her.
06:39Inside the grand bedroom, Don Vince was sitting up.
06:42It's a miracle!
06:43That pastry actually made the Don cough up some of the poisoned blood.
06:47Everyone cheered.
06:48Bruno seized the moment, urging the Don to take his pills.
06:51But Vince pushed the silver tray away.
06:53It's useless, Bruno.
06:54Throw it away.
06:55Bruno looked completely defeated.
06:57When he saw me in the corner, he shoved the tray into my hands.
07:00You try.
07:00Huh?
07:01Vince finally noticed me.
07:03He waved me over.
07:04Don, Mama said medicine makes sick people better.
07:07I'm not sick, little one.
07:09I was poisoned.
07:09These pills just numb the pain.
07:11They won't save me.
07:11The room fell into a mournful silence.
07:14Was he going to die, just like Mama?
07:17Don, I know you'll find the cure and get better.
07:19Suddenly, a bodyguard burst through the double doors.
07:22Boss, our contacts in South America just called.
07:25They secured the synthesized antidote.
07:27You're going to live.
07:28Don Vince froze, stunned.
07:30Bruno looked at me in absolute awe.
07:32First, her pastry helped you cough up the poison.
07:34Now, the moment she says you'd get better, we got the call about the cure.
07:37She's a good luck charm.
07:39A real angel.
07:40An angel, but Daddy always said I was a curse.
07:43Little one, do you want to stay here with me?
07:45But Daddy said I only bring bad luck.
07:47To me, you are my savior.
07:50You brought me hope.
07:51I do.
07:52I want to stay.
07:53I officially moved into the Capretti estate.
07:57Don Vince gave me a massive bedroom right next to his master suite.
08:00He bought me new clothes, shoes, and endless toys.
08:03To repay him, I tried sweeping the floors and feeding the fish.
08:07But Teresa, the housekeeper, always gently took the broom from my hands.
08:11Little one, if you do chorbs, the estate maids will be fired.
08:16There was only one job she allowed me, making sure Don Vince takes his medicine.
08:21The antidote would take time to safely arrive in New York.
08:24In the meantime, the doctor prescribed a bitter medication to prepare his body.
08:29Don Vince hated taking pills.
08:31But if I carried the silver tray and offered him a sweet gummy bear, the terrifying Don swallowed them without
08:37complaint.
08:38Bruno was always quiet and intimidating.
08:41I thought he still disliked me.
08:43But one afternoon, Vince finished his medicine and stared at me thoughtfully.
08:47She looks too bare.
08:49Something is missing.
08:50From the corner, Bruno spoke up.
08:52She needs a gold necklace with the family crest.
08:55Teresa once told me mafia children receive crest necklaces at birth.
08:59It warns enemies not to mess with them.
09:01I'll have the jeweler make it.
09:03No, I'll design it myself.
09:05Tomorrow, we take Angie to Fifth Avenue.
09:08The next afternoon, we arrived at a dazzling jewelry store.
09:11Don Vince and his guards went up to the VIP lounge to discuss the custom design.
09:16He left Bruno to watch me on the main floor and told me to pick out any jewelry I liked.
09:21Everything was too expensive.
09:22I didn't pick anything, but Bruno picked up a sparkling diamond hairpin and clipped it into my hair.
09:28Bruno, this is too expensive.
09:31Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
09:33Daddy, that hair clip is so pretty.
09:35I want it.
09:36I froze.
09:37It was Chloe.
09:38The moment Daddy saw me, horror flashed across his face.
09:41Afraid I would call him Daddy in public, he quickly pulled Chloe away.
09:44Chloe, sweetie, let's look at another display.
09:47No, that one is the prettiest.
09:49I want it.
09:50To appease her, Catherine marched over to snatch it from my head.
09:53Bruno reacted instantly.
09:55He grabbed her wrist and shoved her back onto the floor.
09:58Sal, your men are watching right outside.
10:00Are you just going to let them bully us?
10:03Catherine glared at Daddy.
10:04His face turned ice cold.
10:06Take the hairpin off.
10:07Give it to Chloe.
10:08I hadn't even wanted it, but his blatant favoritism sparked anger in my chest.
10:13No!
10:14Daddy lunged at me, but Bruno blocked him.
10:17First come, first serve, pal.
10:18Are you robbing us?
10:20Daddy smeared, not recognizing Bruno from that rainy night.
10:24Do you know who I am?
10:25I'm Sal Rucho.
10:27My syndicate answers to Don Vince.
10:28Get lost.
10:30Don Vince.
10:32Scared now?
10:33My father-in-law is a capital commanding the downtown district.
10:36You better hand it over.
10:39Street trash.
10:41How dare you drop Don Vince's name.
10:43Humiliated, Sal yelled for his thugs waiting outside.
10:47They rushed in, swarming Bruno.
10:49Brunny fought fiercely, but they outnumbered him.
10:54They slammed him into a glass display, shattering it completely.
10:57Stop!
10:58Just take it!
10:59Don't hurt Bruno!
11:01I cried, holding the hairpin out to Chloe.
11:04But Catherine grabbed a jagged sparred of glass.
11:07Stealing from my daughter?
11:08I'll teach you a lesson, you rat.
11:10Don't touch her!
11:12She's Don Vince's lucky charm!
11:14Lucky charm?
11:15She's a jinx.
11:16Catherine pinned me to the floor, raising the glass toward my cheek.
11:19Daddy just watched as Chloe cheered.
11:22My last scrat of hope for him died.
11:24I squeezed my eyes shut.
11:26He wasn't my daddy anymore, just Sal Russo, a stranger.
11:29Three deafening gunshots echoed.
11:31Warm blood from Catherine's arm splattered my cheek.
11:33She screamed, dropping the glass.
11:35Who dares to touch my daughter?
11:43Before Mama passed away, she held my hand and told me to always obey Daddy.
11:48My stepmother Catherine said I ate too much, so Daddy only fed me once a day.
11:53I obeyed.
11:54My stepsister Chloe called me dirty, so Daddy made me sleep on the cold garage floor.
11:59I obeyed that too.
12:01But no matter what, Daddy still hated me.
12:04He just wanted to throw me away.
12:06On Thanksgiving night, rain poured down.
12:09Chloe was screaming for a canola, so Daddy shoved a crumpled dollar bickle into my hand.
12:14Go to 8th Street Bakery, now!
12:15But it's so far!
12:18Okay, I understand.
12:20I walked for hours through the freezing rain before finally buying the canola.
12:24But when I returned to the apartment, they were all gone.
12:27I waited in the dark, empty room for two days.
12:31Starving and freezing, I found Mama's old notebook.
12:33It had Daddy's work address in the city.

12:48I looked down at the stale canali in my hands.
12:51I decided to just eat it.
12:52Just then, near a sleek black SUV, I heard a man begging.
12:56Don, please, you need to take your pills.
12:59I swallowed hard and stepped closer to the open car door.
13:03Are you afraid they're too bitter?
13:05I have a canala.
13:07It's very sweet.
13:08I can give it to you.
13:10Maybe I approached too suddenly.
13:11The handsome man's striking grey eyes widened.
13:14A harsh gust of wind blew past.
13:16He suddenly started coughing violently.
13:18The bodyguard in the black suit sloured and pushed me back.
13:22Where the hell did this stray kid come from?
13:24Get lost!
13:25Don, are you alright?
13:26The shove sent me crashing onto the pavement.
13:29The pastry box slipped from my frozen fingers and hit the wet concrete.
13:33I sat on the freezing ground, staring at the mess.
13:36I guess they don't want it either.
13:38Never mind.
13:39I pushed myself up, grabbed the filthy box and walked away.
13:43A voice, raspy but commanding, echoed behind me.
13:46Wait.
13:47I turned around.
13:48The handsome man had stopped coughing.
13:51He was walking towards me.
13:53He was so handsome, but he looked deeply sick.
13:57Just taking those few vapes had left him breathless.
14:00Little girl, what's your name?
14:03His eyes held so much sorrow.
14:05It made me forget mama's rule about talking to strangers.
14:09Angie.
14:10How old are you, Angie?
14:12Six.
14:13He frowned, his gaze dropping to my soaked raincoat.
14:16Why are you out here alone?
14:18Where are your parents?
14:20Hearing the gentle concern in his voice, warm tears rolled down my cheeks.
14:25Mama is dead.
14:26And daddy, he has a new family now.

18:24But Daddy always said I was a curse.
18:26Little one, do you want to stay here with me?
18:28But Daddy said I only bring bad luck.
18:31To me, you are my savior.
18:33You brought me hope.
18:34I do.
18:35I want to stay.
18:37I officially moved into the Capretti estate.
18:40Don Vince gave me a massive bedroom right next to his master suite.
18:43He bought me new clothes, shoes, and endless toys.
18:47To repay him, I tried sweeping the floors and feeding the fish.
18:50But Teresa, the housekeeper, always gently took the broom from my hands.
18:54Little one, if you do chores, the estate maids will be fired.
18:59There was only one job she allowed me, making sure Don Vince takes his medicine.
19:03The antidote would take time to safely arrive in New York.
19:07In the meantime, the doctor prescribed a bitter medication to prepare his body.
19:13Don Vince hated taking pills.
19:14But if I carried the silver tray and offered him a sweet gummy bear, the terrifying Don swallowed them without
19:20complaint.
19:21Bruno was always quiet and intimidating.
19:24I thought he still disliked me.
19:26But one afternoon, Vince finished his medicine and stared at me thoughtfully.
19:30She looks too bare.
19:32Something is missing.
19:33From the corner, Bruno spoke up.
19:35She needs a gold necklace with the family crest.
19:38Teresa once told me mafia children receive crest necklaces at birth.
19:42It warns enemies not to mess with them.
19:45I'll have the jeweler make it.
19:46No.
19:47I'll design it myself.
19:49Tomorrow, we take Angie to Fifth Avenue.
19:51The next afternoon, we arrived at a dazzling jewelry store.
19:55Don Vince and his guards went up to the VIP lounge to discuss the custom design.
19:59He left Bruno to watch me on the main floor and told me to pick out any jewelry I liked.
20:04Everything was too expensive.
20:06I didn't pick anything, but Bruno picked up a sparkling diamond hairpin and clipped it into my hair.
20:12Bruno, this is too expensive.
20:14Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
20:16Daddy, that hair clip is so pretty.
20:18I want it.
20:19I froze.
20:20It was Chloe.
20:21The moment Daddy saw me, horror flashed across his face.
20:24Afraid I would call him Daddy in public, he quickly pulled Chloe away.
20:27Chloe, sweetie, let's look at another display.
20:30No, that one is the prettiest.
20:32I want it.
20:33To appease her, Catherine marched over to snatch it from my head.
20:36Bruno reacted instantly.
20:38He grabbed her wrist and shoved her back onto the floor.
20:41Sal, your men are watching right outside.
20:43Are you just going to let them bully us?
20:46Catherine glared at Daddy.
20:47His face turned ice cold.
20:49Take the hairpin off.
20:50Give it to Chloe.
20:51I hadn't even wanted it, but his blatant favoritism sparked anger in my chest.
20:56No!
20:57Daddy lunged at me, but Bruno blocked him.
21:00First come, first serve, pal.
21:02Are you robbing us?
21:03Daddy smeared, not recognizing Bruno from that rainy night.
21:07Do you know who I am?
21:08I'm Sal Rucho.
21:10My syndicate answers to Don Vince.
21:12Get lost.
21:13Don Vince.
21:15Scared now?
21:15My father-in-law is a capital commanding the downtown district.
21:19You better hand it over.
21:23Street trash.
21:24How dare you drop Don Vince's name.
21:27Humiliated, Sal yelled for his thugs waiting outside.
21:30They rushed in, swarming Bruno.
21:32Brunny fought fiercely, but they outnumbered him.
21:37They slammed him into a glass display, shattering it completely.
21:41Stop!
21:41Just take it!
21:42Don't hurt Bruno!
21:44I cried, holding the hairpin out to Chloe.
21:47But Catherine grabbed a jagged spart of glass.
21:50Stealing from my daughter?
21:52I'll teach you a lesson, you rat.
21:54Don't touch her!
21:55She's Don Vince's lucky charm!
21:57Lucky charm?
21:58She's a jinx.
21:59Catherine pinned me to the floor, raising the glass toward my cheek.
22:03Daddy just watched as Chloe cheered.
22:05My last scrat of hope for him died.
22:07I squeezed my eyes shut.
22:09He wasn't my daddy anymore, just Sal Russo, a stranger.
22:12Three deafening gunshots echoed.
22:14Warm blood from Catherine's arm splattered my cheek.
22:16She screamed, dropping the glass.
22:19Who dares to touch my daughter?
22:27Before Mama passed away, she held my hand and told me to always obey Daddy.
22:31My stepmother Catherine said I ate too much, so Daddy only fed me once a day.
22:37I obeyed.
22:38My stepsister Chloe called me dirty, so Daddy made me sleep on the cold garage floor.
22:42I obeyed that too.
22:44But no matter what, Daddy still hated me.
22:47He just wanted to throw me away.
22:49On Thanksgiving night, rain poured down.
22:52Chloe was screaming for a canola, so Daddy shoved a crumpled dollar bickle into my hand.
22:57Go to 8th Street Bakery, now!
22:59But it's so far!
23:01Okay, I understand.
23:03I walked for hours through the freezing rain before finally buying the canola.
23:07But when I returned to the apartment, they were all gone.
23:11I waited in the dark, empty room for two days.
23:14Starving and freezing, I found Mama's old notebook.
23:16It had Daddy's work address in the city.
23:19I walked a whole day and night to Manhattan.
23:21Outside the fanciest restaurant in the city, I saw them.
23:24Through the glass, they were clinking glasses, celebrating.
23:28Right then, I knew Daddy was never coming back for me.
23:31I looked down at the stale canola in my hands.
23:34I decided to just eat it.
23:36Just then, near a sleek black SUV, I heard a man begging.
23:39Don, please, you need to take your pills.
23:43I swallowed hard and stepped closer to the open car door.
23:46Are you afraid they're too bitter?
23:48I have a canola.
23:50It's very sweet.
23:51I can give it to you.
23:53Maybe I approached too suddenly.
23:54The handsome man's striking grey eyes widened.
23:57A harsh gust of wind blew past.
23:59He suddenly started coughing violently.
24:01The bodyguard in the black suit slured and pushed me back.
24:05Where the hell did this stray kid come from?
24:07Get lost!
24:08Don, are you alright?
24:09The shove sent me crashing onto the pavement.
24:12The pastry box slipped from my frozen fingers and hit the wet concrete.
24:16I sat on the freezing ground, staring at the mess.
24:19I guess they don't want it either.
24:21Never mind.
24:22I pushed myself up, grabbed the filthy box, and walked away.
24:26A voice, raspy but commanding, echoed behind me.
24:29Wait.
24:30I turned around.
24:32The handsome man had stopped coughing.
24:34He was walking towards me.
24:37He was so handsome, but he looked deeply sick.
24:40Just taking those few vapes had left him breathless.
24:43Little girl, what's your name?
24:46His eyes held so much sorrow.
24:48It made me forget Mama's rule about talking to strangers.
24:52Angie.
24:53How old are you, Angie?
24:55Six.
24:56He frowned, his gaze dropping to my soaked raincoat.
25:00Why are you out here alone?
25:01Where are your parents?
25:03Hearing the gentle concern in his voice, warm tears rolled down my cheeks.
25:08Mama is dead.
25:10And Daddy, he has a new family now.
25:13He threw me away.
25:14Deep down, I had known Daddy didn't want me long before tonight.
25:17I was barely a baby when he left our little home in Yonkers.
25:20He said he was heading downtown to work for the syndicates.
25:22He promised to come back for us once he made it.
25:24For five years, there was only silence.
25:26The neighbors used to whisper behind Mama's back.
25:28Your sal found a Kakapi's daughter downtown.
25:31They even had a little girl together.
25:32Mama didn't believe them, but every night, she left voicemails he never answered.
25:36Earlier this year, Daddy finally came back.
25:39He drove a luxury car and wore expensive, tailored suits.
25:42Beside him was a beautiful, wealthy woman holding a spoiled little girl.
25:46He had a terrible fight with Mama in our cramped kitchen.
25:49Elena, just sign the divorce papers.
25:51Don't make this a mess.
25:52I didn't understand all his words, but I knew Mama was heartbroken.
25:56He walked out with the signed papers.
25:58He didn't even glance at me.
25:59After that, Mama got sick.
26:01The doctor said it was cancer.
26:02She wouldn't survive the winter.
26:04On her deathbed, she held my face with shaking hands.
26:06Angie, when I'm gone, you have to be good.
26:08Always listen to your daddy.
26:10Never make him mad.
26:11It's the only way he'll keep you.
26:13I tried so hard to be good.
26:15When Chloe wanted to play horse, I got on all fours and let her ride me.
26:18When Catherine burned the doll Mom made for me, I didn't even cry.
26:22But they still called me cursed, blaming me for my own mother's death.
26:25And in the end, they threw me away.
26:27The icy wind cut through my thin coat.
26:30In front of me, the handsome Don's eyes filled with pity.
26:34How could any father ever abandon his own child?
26:36Will you give that canala to me?
26:38It's dirty.
26:39It dropped in the puddle.
26:40You can't eat it.
26:41I tried to hide the soggy package behind my back, but his pale, elegant fingers gently
26:45took the box from my hands.
26:47There are clean parts inside.
26:49As he opened the crushed box, the bodyguard beside him panicked.
26:52Don, no!
26:52You can't eat street trash.
26:53It's fine, Bruno.
26:55The handsome Don pinched a piece of the shell that was clean and put it in his mouth.
26:59Instantly, his body went stidic.
27:01He coughed violently, spitting up a mouthful of dark, clotted blood onto the ground.
27:05Bruno went pale with terror, rushing forward to catch his collapsing master.
27:09Leaving his boss with the other guards, Bruno turned and grabbed my collar.
27:13Brat, who sent you?
27:14Do you have any idea who you just poisoned?
27:16Don Vince Capretti, the most powerful mob boss in New York!
27:19He looked like he wanted to tear me apart.
27:21I kicked and screamed in terror.
27:23Just then, over Bruno's shoulder, I saw Daddy walking out of the restaurant.
27:28Daddy, help me!
27:30Daddy stopped, seeing me being held by the terrifying men in suits.
27:33Not wanting to get involved, he scoffed.
27:35Where did this little beggar come from?
27:37Don't call me Daddy!
27:39He hurried away, pushing Catherine and Chloe into their car without ever looking back.
27:44I was dragged into a massive mansion.
27:46A beautiful but fierce woman glared at me.
27:48Who sent you to kill my brother?
27:50Speak, or I'll feed you to the hounds.
27:52Two massive guard dogs barked, jaws snapping.
27:54I didn't!
27:55I thought a sweet pastry would help him take his medication.
27:58She sneered and reached to unleash the dogs.
28:00Stop!
28:01The Don is awake!
28:02She froze and rushed upstairs.
28:03A guard halted me up right behind her.
28:06Inside the grand bedroom, Don Vince was sitting up.
28:09It's a miracle!
28:10That pastry actually made the Don cough up some of the poisoned blood.
28:13Everyone cheered.
28:14Bruno seized the moment, urging the Don to take his pills.
28:17But Vince pushed the silver tray away.
28:19It's useless, Bruno.
28:20Throw it away.
28:21Bruno looked completely defeated.
28:23When he saw me in the corner, he shoved the tray into my hands.
28:26You try.
28:27Huh?
28:28Vince finally noticed me.
28:30He waved me over.
28:31Don, Mama said medicine makes sick people better.
28:34I'm not sick, little one.
28:35I was poisoned.
28:36These pills just numb the pain.
28:37They won't save me.
28:38The room fell into a mournful silence.
28:40Was he going to die, just like Mama?
28:43Don, I know you'll find the cure and get better.
28:46Suddenly, a bodyguard burst through the double doors.
28:48Boss!
28:49Our contacts in South America just called.
28:51They secured the synthesized antidote.
28:53You're going to live.
28:54Don, Vince froze, stunned.
28:56Bruno looked at me in absolute awe.
28:58First, her pastry helped you cough up the poison.
29:01Now, the moment she says you'd get better, we got the call about the cure.
29:04She's a good luck charm.
29:05A real angel.
29:06An angel?
29:07But Daddy always said I was a curse.
29:09Little one, do you want to stay here with me?
29:11But Daddy said I only bring bad luck.
29:14To me, you are my savior.
29:16You brought me hope.
29:18I do.
29:18I want to stay.
29:20I officially moved into the Capretti estate.
29:23Don Vince gave me a massive bedroom right next to his master suite.
29:26He bought me new clothes, shoes, and endless toys.
29:30To repay him, I tried sweeping the floors and feeding the fish.
29:33But Teresa, the housekeeper, always gently took the broom from my hands.
29:37Little one, if you do chorbs, the estate maids will be fired.

37:30There are clean parts inside.
37:32As he opened the crushed box, the bodyguard beside him panicked.
37:35Don, no!
37:36You can't eat street trash.
37:37It's fine, Bruno.
37:38The handsome Don pinched a piece of the shell that was clean and put it in his mouth.
37:42Instantly, his body went stidic.
37:44He coughed violently, spitting up a mouthful of dark, clotted blood onto the ground.
37:48Don!
37:48Bruno went pale with terror, rushing forward to catch his collapsing master.
37:52Leaving his boss with the other guards, Bruno turned and grabbed my collar.
37:56Brat, who sent you?
37:58Do you have any idea who you just poisoned?
38:00Don Vince Capretti, the most powerful mob boss in New York!
38:03He looked like he wanted to tear me apart.
38:05I kicked and screamed in terror.
38:07Just then, over Bruno's shoulder, I saw Daddy walking out of the restaurant.
38:11Daddy, help me!
38:13Daddy stopped, seeing me being held by the terrifying men in suits.
38:16Not wanting to get involved, he scoffed.
38:19Where did this little beggar come from?
38:21Don't call me Daddy!
38:22He hurried away, pushing Catherine and Chloe into their car without ever looking back.
38:27I was dragged into a massive mansion.
38:29A beautiful but fierce woman glared at me.
38:31Who sent you to kill my brother?
38:33Speak, or I'll feed you to the hounds.
38:35Massive guard dogs barked, jaws snapping.
38:37I didn't!
38:38I thought a sweet pastry would help him take his medication.
38:41She sneered and reached to unleash the dogs.
38:43Stop!
38:44The Don is awake!
38:45She froze and rushed upstairs.
38:47A guard halted me up right behind her.
38:49Inside the grand bedroom, Don Vince was sitting up.
38:52It's a miracle!
38:53That pastry actually made the Don cough up some of the poisoned blood.
38:56Everyone cheered.
38:57Bruno seized the moment, urging the Don to take his pills.
39:00But Vince pushed the silver tray away.
39:02It's useless, Bruno.
39:04Throw it away.
39:05Bruno looked completely defeated.
39:06When he saw me in the corner, he shoved the tray into my hands.
39:09You try.
39:10Huh?
39:11Vince finally noticed me.
39:13He waved me over.
39:14Don, Mama said medicine makes sick people better.
39:17I'm not sick, little one.
39:18I was poisoned.
39:19These pills just numb the pain.
39:20They won't save me.
39:21The room fell into a mournful silence.
39:23Was he going to die, just like Mama?
39:26Don, I know you'll find the cure and get better.
39:29Suddenly, a bodyguard burst through the double doors.
39:32Boss, our contacts in South America just called.
39:34They secured the synthesized antidote.
39:36You're going to live.
39:37Don Vince froze, stunned.
39:39Bruno looked at me in absolute awe.
39:41First, her pastry helped you cough up the poison.
39:44Now, the moment she says you'd get better, we got the call about the cure.
39:47She's a good luck charm.
39:48A real angel.
39:49An angel?
39:50But Daddy always said I was a curse.
39:52Little one, do you want to stay here with me?
39:54But Daddy said I only bring bad luck.
39:57To me, you are my savior.
39:59You brought me hope.
40:01I do.
40:02I want to stay.
40:03I officially moved into the Capretti estate.
40:06Don Vince gave me a massive bedroom right next to his master suite.
40:09He bought me new clothes, shoes, and endless toys.
40:13To repay him, I tried sweeping the floors and feeding the fish.
40:17But Teresa, the housekeeper, always gently took the broom from my hands.
40:21Little one, if you do chorbs, the estate maids will be fired.
40:25There was only one job she allowed me, making sure Don Vince takes his medicine.
40:30The antidote would take time to safely arrive in New York.
40:34In the meantime, the doctor prescribed a bitter medication to prepare his body.
40:39Don Vince hated taking pills.
40:41But if I carried the silver tray and offered him a sweet gummy bear, the terrifying Don swallowed them without
40:46complaint.
40:48Bruno was always quiet and intimidating.
40:50I thought he still disliked me.
40:52But one afternoon, Vince finished his medicine and stared at me thoughtfully.
40:57She looks too bare.
40:58Something is missing.
40:59From the corner, Bruno spoke up.
41:02She needs a gold necklace with the family crest.
41:05Teresa once told me mafia children receive crest necklaces at birth.
41:09It warns enemies not to mess with them.
41:11I'll have the jeweler make it.
41:13No.
41:13I'll design it myself.
41:15Tomorrow, we take Angie to Fifth Avenue.
41:17The next afternoon, we arrived at a dazzling jewelry store.
41:21Don Vince and his guards went up to the VIP lounge to discuss the custom design.
41:26He left Bruno to watch me on the main floor and told me to pick out any jewelry I liked.
41:31Everything was too expensive.
41:32I didn't pick anything.
41:33But Bruno picked up a sparkling diamond hairpin and clipped it into my hair.
41:38Bruno, this is too expensive.
41:40Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
41:42Daddy, that hair clip is so pretty.
41:44Daddy, I want it!
41:45I froze.
41:46It was Chloe.
41:47The moment Daddy saw me, horror flashed across his face.
41:50Afraid I would call him Daddy in public, he quickly pulled Chloe away.
41:54Chloe, sweetie, let's look at another display.
41:56No!
41:57That one is the prettiest.
41:58I want it!
41:59To appease her, Catherine marched over to snatch it from my head.
42:03Bruno reacted instantly.
42:04He grabbed her wrist and shoved her back onto the floor.
42:07Sal, your men are watching right outside.
42:09Are you just going to let them bully us?
42:12Catherine glared at Daddy.
42:14His face turned ice cold.
42:15Take the hairpin off.
42:17Give it to Chloe.
42:18I hadn't even wanted it.
42:19But his blatant favoritism sparked anger in my chest.
42:23No!
42:24Daddy lunged at me, but Bruno blocked him.
42:26First come, first serve, pal.
42:28Are you robbing us?
42:30Daddy smeared, not recognizing Bruno from that rainy night.
42:33Do you know who I am?
42:35I'm Sal Rucho.
42:36My syndicate answers to Don Vince.
42:38Get lost.
42:40Don Vince.
42:41Scared now?
42:42My father-in-law is a capital commanding the downtown district.
42:45You better hand it over.
42:49Street trash.
42:50How dare you drop Don Vince's name?
42:53Humiliated, Sal yelled for his thugs waiting outside.
42:56They rushed in, swarming Bruno.
42:59Brunny fought fiercely, but they outnumbered him.
43:03They slammed him into a glass display, shattering it completely.
43:07Stop!
43:08Just take it!
43:09Don't hurt Bruno!
43:10I cried, holding the hairpin out to Chloe.
43:13But Catherine grabbed a jagged sparred of glass.
43:16Stealing from my daughter?
43:18I'll teach you a lesson, you rat.
43:20Don't touch her!
43:21She's Don Vince's lucky charm!
43:23Lucky charm?
43:24She's a jinx.
43:26Catherine pinned me to the floor, raising the glass toward my cheek.
43:29Daddy just watched as Chloe cheered.
43:31My last scrat of hope for him died.
43:34I squeezed my eyes shut.
43:35He wasn't my daddy anymore, just Sal Russo, a stranger.
43:38Three deafening gunshots echoed.
43:40Warm blood from Catherine's arm splattered my cheek.
43:43She screamed, dropping the glass.
43:45Who dares to touch my daughter?
43:53Before Mama passed away, she held my hand and told me to always obey Daddy.
43:58My stepmother Catherine said I ate too much, so Daddy only fed me once a day.
44:03I obeyed.
44:04My stepsister Chloe called me dirty, so Daddy made me sleep on the cold garage floor.
44:09I obeyed that too.
44:11But no matter what, Daddy still hated me.
44:13He just wanted to throw me away.
44:16On Thanksgiving night, rain poured down.
44:19Chloe was screaming for a canola, so Daddy shoved a crumpled dollar bickle into my hand.
44:23Go to 8th Street Bakery, now!
44:25But it's so far!
44:28Okay, I understand.
44:30I walked for hours through the freezing rain before finally buying the cannoli.
44:33But when I returned to the apartment, they were all gone.
44:37I waited in the dark, empty room for two days.
44:40Starving and freezing, I found Mama's old notebook.
44:43It had Daddy's work address in the city.
44:45I walked a whole day and night to Manhattan.
44:47Outside the fanciest restaurant in the city, I saw them.
44:51Through the glass, they were clinking glasses, celebrating.
44:54Right then, I knew Daddy was never coming back for me.
44:57I looked down at the stale canali in my hands.
45:00I decided to just eat it.
45:02Just then, near a sleek black SUV, I heard a man begging.
45:06Don, please. You need to take your pills.
45:09I swallowed hard and stepped closer to the open car door.
45:13Are you afraid they're too bitter?
45:15I have a canola. It's very sweet. I can give it to you.
45:19Maybe I approached too suddenly.
45:21The handsome man's striking grey eyes widened.
45:23A harsh gust of wind blew past.
45:25He suddenly started coughing violently.
45:28The bodyguard in the black suit sloured and pushed me back.
45:31Where the hell did this stray kid come from?
45:33Get lost!
45:34Don, are you alright?
45:36The shove sent me crashing onto the pavement.
45:38The pastry box slipped from my frozen fingers and hit the wet concrete.
45:42I sat on the freezing ground, staring at the mess.
45:46I guess they don't want it either.
45:47Never mind.
45:48I pushed myself up, grabbed the filthy box, and walked away.
45:52A voice, raspy but commanding, echoed behind me.
45:56Wait.
45:57I turned around.
45:58The handsome man had stopped coughing.
46:00He was walking towards me.
46:03He was so handsome, but he looked deeply sick.
46:06Just taking those few vapes had left him breathless.
46:10Little girl, what's your name?
46:12His eyes held so much sorrow.
46:15It made me forget Mama's rule about talking to strangers.
46:19Angie.
46:19How old are you, Angie?
46:22Six.
46:22He frowned, his gaze dropping to my soaked raincoat.
46:26Why are you out here alone?
46:28Where are your parents?
46:29Hearing the gentle concern in his voice, warm tears rolled down my cheeks.
46:34Mama is dead.
46:36And Daddy, he has a new family now.
46:39He threw me away.
46:40Deep down, I had known Daddy didn't want me long before tonight.
46:43I was barely a baby when he left our little home in Yonkers.
46:46He said he was heading downtown to work for the syndicates.
46:49He promised to come back for us once he made it.
46:51For five years, there was only silence.
46:53The neighbors used to whisper behind Mama's back.
46:55Your sal found a Kakapi's daughter downtown.
46:57They even had a little girl together.
46:59Mama didn't believe them, but every night, she left voicemails he never answered.
47:03Earlier this year, Daddy finally came back.
47:05He drove a luxury car and wore expensive, tailored suits.
47:08Besides him was a beautiful, wealthy woman holding a spoiled little girl.
47:12He had a terrible fight with Mama in our cramped kitchen.
47:15Elena, just sign the divorce papers.
47:17Don't make this a mess.
47:18I didn't understand all his words, but I knew Mama was heartbroken.
47:22He walked out with the signed papers.
47:24He didn't even glance at me.
47:26After that, Mama got sick.
47:27The doctor said it was cancer.
47:29She wouldn't survive the winter.
47:30On her deathbed, she held my face with shaking hands.
47:33Angie, when I'm gone, you have to be good.
47:35Always listen to your daddy.
47:36Never make him mad.
47:38It's the only way he'll keep you.
47:39I tried so hard to be good.
47:41When Chloe wanted to play horse, I got on all fours and let her ride me.
47:45When Catherine burned the doll Mom made for me, I didn't even cry.
47:48But they still called me cursed, blaming me for my own mother's death.
47:51And in the end, they threw me away.
47:53Bye-bye.
