As if your life didn't have enough "Ups and downs", it gradually gets worse. Detective James Gordon is always on your back, while his partner, Harvey Bullock, also your stepfather, is always busy either dealing with work or getting drunk. How much l...
Butch dragged Oswald out of some storage room. Oswald had looked beaten. I felt horrible. He looked at Victor and realized what he was there for.
"Wait- Oh my! No! No! Please have mercy!" I stared at the bruises on his face, crossed my arms and looked away.
"Victor...I'm sure we can work something out, old friend..." He pleaded.
Victor just smiled. "How many people did you open your mouth to?" He asked Oswald.
He didn't answer. Victor stood up straight and put his hands in his pockets. Butch kicked Oswald in the stomach, and he fell to the ground, groaning in pain. I flinched and closed my eyes.
"Don't keep the man waiting now." Butch said in a low voice. Then Oswald opened his eyes and the first thing his eyes saw were mine.

"Y-You...." he whispered.
Then he sat up, staring at me with anger flaring through his nose.
"YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE!" He yelled. Victor stood infront of me.
"That's enough. You don't need to bring her into this."
I looked up at him. "Don't stand up for me, I can deal with this myself." I whispered to his shoulder.
Oswald snapped at him.
"HOW does it feel to be protecting someone with the same GODDAMN blood as Don Falcone's enemy himself?!" He spoke.
Victor froze. Fish stayed quiet, and then tilted her head.
"What are you saying?" Victor then looked around nervously and held his arm infront of me.
"He's lying." Victor added.
"I'm saying that she is the daughter of Salvatore Maroni! Even if she doesn't know it!" Oswald claimed.
Fish's eyes widened as she looked at me.
"I thought you looked familiar..." She whispered.
"Awe, you little snitch-" Victor said as he pulled his gun from his holster.
I pulled him back. "Wait, Victor, what's he talking about?" I asked curiously.
Then Fish laughed and looked back at me.
"Darling. You didn't know? What's your real name?" I stayed quiet. There was no point in hiding my name anymore.
"Laura...Laura Delmont." I said softly.
"As in your mother was Valeria Delmont?" She asked again.
I looked down at the ground. "Valeria Bullock." I whispered.
Then Butch busted out laughing.
"Your mom married that sorry excuse for a cop?! Ha! No wonder she died so quickly!" My heart dropped.
