Penelope's POV
It has been a week since Anthony and I said I do. He has his moments where he is a complete and utter jerk but the. He has his moments where he is absolutely incredible. I knew coming into this entire arrangement that this was to payback my father's debt because he obviously only cared about himself but then my feelings got involved in this and now I don't think I will be able to leave him come the end of the year.
Today is a busy as hell day for the two of us. Today is the day that everyone within the mafia world knows him and I are married and I'm not going anywhere. They don't know about the arrangement being made and that in 11 months I am leaving this area and he can resume his playboy ways. As I am getting ready for today, Anthony is in his home office finishing up some paperwork. I decided to wear this for the "outings" as we are calling it.
We really never discussed on what we would say if someone was to ask him or I how we met each other or what we would say if someone asked how long we had been dating? Everyone knows he's a playboy so now I have to play the loving doting wife and how I support him no matter what. I finish getting myself together. I look down at my phone and see we have an 30 minutes to leave. I walk to his office and knock.
