Enzo warns his son to stay away from the Capo's daughter several times. When Santino tells his father the truth about his romance, the latter is angry with Anna who chooses The Outfit above his son's feelings.

She makes a comment about how Luca will love unwrapping her, making Aria feel very uncomfortable. Luca's cousin Cosima mentions how embarrassed she was when it was time for the presentation of the sheets. When Aria asks what that is, Nina patronizes her and says that didn't her mother, Ludevica, explain it to her? Aria looked at her mother, who just pressed her lips together, two red blotches appearing on her cheeks. Nina explains that it is a Sicilian Famiglia tradition that they have proudly upheld for generations, that after the wedding night, the women of the groom's family come to the bridal suite to collect the sheets they spent the night on. Then those sheets are presented to the fathers of the bride and groom and whomever else wants to see proof that the marriage has been consummated and that the bride was pure. Cosima added that it is also called the tradition of the bloody sheets for that reason. Gianna exclaims that it is barbaric and that Ludevica can't allow it, but she simply responds that it is not up to her. Nina adds that they do not abandon their traditions and from what she knows, the Scuderi girls have been well-protected from male attention, so Aria has nothing to fear. The sheets will prove her honor.

At Luca Vitiello's request, she reluctantly took in her niece Kiara Vitiello and raised her after both of Kiara's parents were killed because her father, her brother, betrayed the Famiglia.

## Sweet Temptation

Giulia and Egidia do not get along very well as Giulia is not the prim and obedient girl her mother hopes for. The freedoms Giulia has been able to have, are because of her father's soft spot for her and his inability to deny her most things.

Following the death of Cassio Moretti's wife Gaia, Egidia and Felix are able to arrange a marriage between their daughter and Cassio. Egidia comments on what good fortune it is that his wife died since there were not any eligible Underbosses for Giulia to marry and this will elevate the family's position and importance.

Egidia is hoping and pressuring for a grandchild as it will improve Giulia's position in the Moretti family, however, Giulia will not hear of it as she considers Cassio's children by his first wife as her own.

When Cassio's father Mansueto Moretti is on his deathbed he reveals to Felix that Simona and Daniele are born of incest and not Cassio's biological children. Egidia sees this as an opportunity to make her future grandson Gabriel the underboss of Philadelphia. Giulia pleads with them not to reveal this as it will severely hurt her children and husband but they refuse to listen. Christian also tries to change his parents' minds with no success.

Egidia and Felix are then threatened by Luca Vitiello to not reveal this huge secret after Giulia and Cassio talk to him about it. After this, the relationship between Egidia and her daughter seems to improve slightly and she treats Giulia's stepchildren kindly.

Sofia knows how it feels to be the consolation prize.

Too young.

Not blond.

And definitely not an ice princess.

Her sister is—was all those things. Perfection. Until she wasn’t. Until she ran off to be with the enemy and left her fiancé behind.

Now Sofia is given to Danilo in her sister’s stead, knowing she’ll never be more than second best. Yet, she can’t stop longing for the love of the man she’s been crushing on even when he was still her sister’s.

Danilo is a man who’s used to getting what he wants.

Power.

Respect.

The sought-after ice princess.

Until another man steals his bride-to-be. Danilo knows that for a man in his position losing his woman can lead to a loss of face.

Wounded pride.

Thirst for revenge.

A dangerous combination—one Danilo can’t leave behind, not even when a girl just as precious takes her sister’s place to placate him. Yet, she’s got one flaw: she’s not her sister.

Unable to forget what he’s lost, Danilo might lose what he’s been given.
