The Don's Feeding

They said the Moretti Don lost his mind over me — paid $1.88M bride price without blinking. Then on day two, he dropped a crate of mystery boxes at my feet and told me to pick my meals. Ramen. Spam. $0.99 clearance formula. For three years. When our newborn hit 103.6 in the ER, I called him twelve times. He was babysitting my sister's kid instead. Eight thousand dollars. That's what my daughter's life cost. He still thinks I'm running a scam. He doesn't know — my flight to Honolulu left this morning, and someone's been waiting for me there for years.
