  “I will try, Don Stracci,” Tony said as he stood up.

  “Geanelli! If you can’t, then you must kill her, or we kill you!”

  “I understand, Don Stracci.” Tony said in a low, sad tone of voice, because he knew that Nickole would never give them what they demanded. He knew that she would fight them to her death. Tony also knew that Nickole was a very sick woman and she needed his help, but he was not sure how he could help her. So he went to a church on his way home and prayed.

  “Dear God, help me to find the right way and the courage to do what I must”

  That night, Tony returned to the house. He went upstairs to Nickole’s bedroom. She was lying on the

  bed, naked. Nickole held out her hands to Tony. He walked over to the bed and bent down and kissed her tenderly on the lips. Then he looked into her eyes, as he said, “Nickole, the other Dons want you to step down as a female Don. If you do not, they will kill you. There is one way that they will let you live. That is if you marry me, and recognize me as the new Don of the Colletti family. Nickole, I love you, and I want you to be my wife. Not because they want me to. You can name someone else if you want, just as long as it is a man.”

  Nickole only laughed and became enraged at what he said. “Never! Do you hear me? Never will I give those fucking bastards what they want. Moreover, if they think they can kill me, let them try it. And I will make them suffer as they have never before.”

  “All right damn it! Do it your way. But why can’t you still be my wife? I love you, and I need and want you. I don’t give a damn about being a Don. All I want is you!” Tony yelled at her.

  Nickole’s voice became much softer as she snuggled up to Tony. All right, Tony, if you want me that much, take your clothes off and make love to me, and in the morning, we will talk about it. But right now, I need you, Tony.”

  Tony undressed and got into bed with Nickole. He made love to her. They had sex together until Nickole had fallen asleep in Tony’s arms, sleeping like a contented baby. Tears filled Tony’s eyes as he held her close to him, watching her sleep so peacefully. Then, easing himself up on one elbow, so as not to wake Nickole, Tony stared down on her angelic face. He was silently crying as he kissed her ever so gently on the lips, and softly whispered, “I truly love you, my darling. If I didn’t, I would not have stayed with you through so much these past years. They want me

  to kill you. If I don’t, they will. We started this together, and we will end this together.” He took his

  gun from the nightstand drawer and held the gun to Nickole’s head. He tried to squeeze the trigger, but he could not do it. Crying he put the gun back. He silently said a prayer. “God, help me find a way to stop them from hurting her. There has to be another way. Please help me find it!” He begged as he held Nickole closer to him. He held her tenderly and lovingly, his tears fell on her face. Nickole opened her eyes as she felt his tears roll down her cheek.

  “Tony! Why are you crying?” She asked in a drowsy

  voice.

  “Because I love you so much! I know you do, as I love you too.”

  “I was going to wait till morning to tell you, I have been doing a lot of thinking. My Father and Mother came to me in a dream tonight. They know I am going to have your baby, and that I should step down, and marry you, the man I love. You can call them in the morning and tell those bastards I will step down. They can have all the rackets, and we keep all the legal operations.”

  Tony’s face lit up as he listened to Nickole’s every word. He smiled at her as he said, “You mean that? And we are having a baby? Oh Nickole, I love you so much! Let’s tell everybody in the house we are getting married.” Tony said with an excited voice.

  “It is 2 am. Let’s tell them in the morning, then we can set a date for the wedding.” Nickole smiled at Tony as she kissed him on the cheek.

  “Okay, in the morning, don’t change your mind now!” Tony said as he hugged Nickole.

  “I won’t, now let’s get some sleep.” They gave each other a long kiss, then fell asleep holding each other in their arms.

  The next morning, the maid found them holding each other in a pool of blood. A gun was found on the floor next to the bed. The coroner ruled their deaths as a murder-suicide.

  Mike Scallenie’s body was never found. Although some years later all of his “trophy hearts” were found when a tip came in from Johnny Gallucio. Johnny took Sally’s heart to Hollywood for Nickole, where he buried it under the Hollywood sign.

  A reign of terror evolved from the atrocities endured by a little girl who grew into a vicious woman. Decades of gruesome murders, treachery, and heinous crimes finally ended indefinitely for the Colletti family...or did it?

  Will this be the end of her legacy?
