He knew it wouldn't be an easy feat to shrug himself off the arrangement with the Abate, but he had thought the reservation would mainly come from Dario, his future father in law, well - soon to be ex future father in law.
He certainly didn't expect his dear fiancee would be the one to object.

He understood Sophia only saw him as a convenience, a man who could fulfill her desire in bed as well as her endless thirst for pride and luxury. He was handsome, rich, and powerful -now with the sudden departure of Marco Romano, he was next to take over the reign.

Dario Abate was rich too, more than enough for him to be patted on his shoulder by notorious names in the Sicilian mafia circle during their social gatherings, or to be called whenever one of those capos needed any help with deals under the table.
But just like his daughter, the man had his own greed.
If Sophia had incessant needs for sex, then her father was slaved by avarice.

Taehyung had to give up a country house of almost a thousand square meters in Monza at a bleeding cheap price to the man, as well as a quarter of the land in Seminara priced almost in half. The old leech knew well how to exploit the situation to his advantage, never mind if his own daughter implicated in the affair.

But again, he didn't mind. Whatever it took to free himself from the agreement, to ease his way in winning you into his life. He could always earn money later, but you were the one he could not risk to let go. Being with you was a once in a lifetime chance that he was sure would never happen for the second time.

Staring at Sophia's extremely furious expression, he wondered how she could transform drastically from a stunning beauty to an utter hag when she didn't get what she wanted.
But he had known about it, all this time he just endured to be with her because he didn't have choice.

Well, not anymore.
It was about time for the spoiled princess to learn her place.

"You and I already had an arrangement. How dare you to terminate our engagement without talking to me first? Do you even realize who you are dealing with?"
