Axel Ricci and the Berreta Mafia

The Ball

I loved the ball. It was the one time of year I could get really dressed up. Don't get me wrong I love wearing the ballgowns and getting my make up, hair, and nails done but I wouldn't want it to be a weekly or even monthly occurrence. I was so excited when I finally found my outfit for this year's ball. It was all black and I loved it.

I paired with some basic black Louboutin heels since you wouldn't see them anyway. I decided to just curl my hair and leave it down this year since I didn't really feel like doing it. When I got to the ball I made sure to write my name down the neatest I could so we wouldn't have another occurrence like last year (they mispronounced my name, I know right). A few hours had gone by but the ball was far from over. It was an opportunity to form alliances or even enemies if you bumped into someone or accidently ignored them. I decided to go out onto one of the balconies to get some air. As I was out there I felt a hand slither around my waist. " How about we get out of here" ugh I thought I might have one year where some prick wouldn't flirt with me but I guess I was wrong. " I'm good, thank you for the offer though." "I think you be better with me, let's go honey." I was fed up and didn't really care who I pissed off so I decided to handle this my own way. I grabbed his hand and flipped him over the edge of the balcony. " I could let go if I wanted to, orrrrr you could decide to accept when a girl tells you no." I swung him back up and threw him on the ground. I placed my foot on hiss crotch and said " I think we're done here, yeah?" and then I walked over him on my way to the bar. Lord did I need a drink after that encounter. Suddenly a man sat down next to me. "That was impressive." he said. His voice was deep and somewhat attractive. " What, oh, that. Yeah he was being annoying." "I could tell, I was about to step in but I figured anyone at this ball could take care of themselves and I was right." "Thank god you didn't step in or you would've been laying next to him." " Axel Ricci" "Excuse me?" "My name, Axel Ricci. And you?" " Y/N, Y/N Augustine." "Y/N Augustine, a pretty name for a pretty girl" he said while smirking. "Well it has been a pleasure, but I'm afraid I must go know, don't miss me too much, August." " Augustine, and I wouldn't dream of it." 

A few hours later and it was time to go home. It was about 3 am when I finally got home. I would have Anna, my secretary, reschedule all my meetings for the afternoon. I took a shower and went to bed. 

The next morning, Anna woke me up at 12 and said I had a very important meeting that I could not miss. The only person I could not reschedule was my father, Antonio Augustine. He was the previous don but now I am. I always go to him for advice but usually he doesn't schedule meetings like this. I got dressed and went to go see what he was on about this time. 

When I got to my childhood mansion. I went straight to my father's office. When I got there I saw another person sitting across from my father. "ahhh mi amor, you are finally here" my father said. "Axel, meet my daughter, Y/N." " We've met before, Papa. At the Ball." "Oh, even better. As you both know or should know, as resposible heads of your mafias. The Sweds have been incroaching on both our territories. Therefore, I see it is necessary to form an alliance with each other. I propose a wedding." "Papa you can't be serious. We barely know each other and I am more than capable of handling this on my own." "I know, mi amor. but it is always better to have alliances than to handle thing on your own. Axel, you haven't said anything in a while, what are your thoughts?" "I think an alliance is good but aren't there other ways than marriage?" "Yes but marriage is the strongest." "Ok, I will do it" I said. "But I have a few conditions if you choose to accept. One, no forcing our feelings on each other. This is strictly business but if we both develop feelings then so be it. Two, when we move in together, we will buy or build a new house. I don't want to move into your house and I'm sure you don't want to move into mine so we will compromise. That's all I have for now but I'm sure I'll find others later." "All right, taking those conditions into account, I accept. We will sign the documents today and plan a ceremony for later in the year." "I like that idea. We can also go ring shopping later today after lunch." 

"Good bye Papa. It has been a pleasure as always. I will call you when I get home."
