 “NO YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME!! I DID NOTHING WRONG BUT TRIED TO BE A GOOD DAUGHTER TO YOU AND YOU WANT TO GIVE ME AWAY TO SOME MAN I JUST MET FIVE MINUTES AGO!!?”

WELL YOU CAN'T STAY HERE FOREVER YOU ARE NINETEEN!!

Hi, my name is Adriana Rizzo. I am the Daughter of Mattia Rizzo and Alice Rizzo. I am an only child. My father is the king of Morte di Onyx or as I like to call him King of class A assholes. Anyway let me catch you up on what you just missed. My dad wants me to marry a man named Lorenzo. He is also a part of a mafia but he is the hair or next in line. His gang is Angeli dell’inferno(Hell Angels).  I am supposed to marry him but I had just met him five minutes ago and on top of that I am already in love with someone that is also in a gang. We only know each other because I had to babysit his baby sister. The man's name is Luca. I may be nineteen which is young to get married for my age but it is something that people are supposed to do if you are a part of a mafia. And that is what brings us back to what me and my father are arguing about.

DAD I DON’T WANT TO BE WITH A MAN THAT I BARELY KNOW!!

MIJAH YOU HAVE NO CHOICE UNLESS THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE!!

The room went silent. I can't tell my father about Luca. He would ask too many questions about him. And Luca has a girlfriend already so I have no choice to suck it up and marry a man that I don't even love. I signed and agreed to the arrangement. Maybe it won’t be that bad Luca has a girl and I can have a guy of my own instead of swooning over a guy that has ocean blue eyes, soft silky curly short hair, muscles…..What am I doing I have to stop doing that. 

“Mijah the Wedding is going to happen in two years that way there is enough time for you and Lorenzo to know each other more.” My father had said to me,

“Okay pa I’ll do it just for you.” He kissed me on my forehead and then I went up to my room to get ready for a bath and bed. I had a restless sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about Luca and what I was supposed to tell him. “Hey I'm getting married in two years although I really don’t want to because I'm in love with you.” No, I can't do that. Instead I will tell him I am engaged with a man that I had just met in five minutes. I can't do that either. Around four am I finally fell asleep.
