Preface

I always grew up never knowing if my father and his friends would see another day. I also grew up knowing that if you wanted something you had to fight for it at any cost. For some my life style would revolt you. Only a few women could grow up the way I did, and many of the women who did were cold-hearted bitches. Only my mother was kind enough to see the good in a living creature, and many said that was her down-fall. She trusted the wrong person and not even my dad, who I thought could do anything, could not save her this time.

My name is Isabella Marie Swan and I grew up in the mob. I became one of the cold-hearted bitches I promised my mother I would never become. My father thinks as being in the mob as a job, I on the other hand think of it as a lifestyle. I live on the coast of Italy, in a huge house, surrounded by my closest friends and people who would rather die then see me hurt.

The only problem. My father wants to know how the mob life style in America is. So he is shipping me off to the Cullen's house-hold. Carlisle was an old friend of the family. Before my mother was killed Carlisle was an underboss, my Father's right hand man and best-friend. When Carlisle's wife Esme was pregnant with Alice, Carlisle came to my father asking for permission to leave to America saying his Italian lifestyle wasn't cutting it for him or Esme and they wanted to start over in America with their own mob family and remain close friends of the Swan family.

My father,Charlie, being the nice friend he was agreed, only asking that if he called upon his services Carlisle or his son Emmett most come back to help. Thankfully it has not happened yet. But I arrive in America I have a small feeling that my life is about to really change.
