"You look beautiful, Miss Salvadore," The lady who helped me with my makeup said once I stepped out of my walk-in closet. "When your fiance sees you he'll instantly fall in love with you." She smiled.

I rolled my eyes. "I'd rather die," I muttered, sitting on my bed.

I didn't know how I was supposed to feel about Dylan. If that was even his real name.

Last week should have been a wake-up call that I shouldn't be going out with a man while supposedly being engaged. Not only that, it's dangerous for not just them but for me.

Maybe I should be like my mother and submit to a man like Tobias. It's the easiest way and people in the mafia die almost every day. Tobias would be no exception.

But no matter how hard I tried to picture me and Tobias together it resulted in anger. I didn't want to be with Tobias. Why did I have to be born into a mafia?

After getting ready I arrived at the restaurant. Tobias directed me to the far end of the almost empty restaurant which he reserved for us.

He pulled open my chair and pushed it in when I sat down. Once he sat down I spoke up. "I see you've learned some manners." I grumbled, rolling my eyes.

"I realized the way I previously treated you was unfair, Scarlett. So I'm trying my best to be a better person, just for you." He smiled.

"Cut the crap. My father isn't here for you to impress. Tell me how you really feel towards me."

He took a sigh and ran a hand through his hair. "Fine. Scarlett as of now the only thing I want from you is to fuck you mercilessly so you finally understand your place."

I snorted. "Like I'm ever going to let you even kiss me."

"I'll make you." He smirked.

"Oh?" I said, raising a brow. "So you plan on raping me, Tobias?" I questioned, waiting for his reaction but his face remained still. "Fun," I muttered, looking away from him.

"Being raped?"

"No. It'll be fun when my father kills you for doing such to me."

He just chuckled. "Your father is a fool. He's so hellbent on you getting married that I've got him to listen to any word I tell him." He laughed, shaking his head. "Scarlett, you have no one in this world but me."

A bottle of champagne came and the waiter poured it for the two of us. "Would you two like to order?"

Just like the champagne, Tobias decided to order my own meal as if he knew me.

Once the waiter left he began speaking again. "You look nice by the way." He smiled, although a fool could tell it wasn't a sincere smile.

"Okay." I said, looking down at my laps.

There was a slight moment of silence before he began speaking up. "I was thinking our engagement party should be in two weeks. You don't have to worry about it, all you have to worry about is looking good for me."

"Is that what I am to you, Tobias? An accessory for you to look good?"

"Give me at least 3 good things women are meant for aside for sex, making babies and looking pretty? Tell me what exactly you want me to do with you?"

"You're sick. Is this the way your father treated your mother?" I spat in disgust.

"My mother is used for those three exact things. Men rule the world whether you like it or not and women just sit still and look pretty."

It took everything in me to not slap him across his face but I decided to refrain. My father would hear of this and surely Tobias would win him over. As always.

Before Tobias could add anything we heard some commotion coming from the entrance of the restaurant. Some protests about a man wanting to enter when he wasn't on the list.

Eventually to my horror, the man who was finally allowed in was Dylan and a smirk was on his lips when he saw me. I looked away in shame.

"Aleksander?" Tobias asked, confused as Aleksander pulled a chair next to our table to sit down. "W-what are you doing here?" He questioned.

"Why is she here with you, Tobias?" He asked, making the gun in his hand visible for the both of us.

Personally, I think it's quite cowardly if you have to threaten people with guns.

Tobias looked around frantically for anyone, maybe one of his guards but everyone had already left. It was just me, Tobias and Aleksander.

"She's my wife and we're having dinner." He answered, fear in his voice.

Pussy.

Aleksander's eyes widened and then he began laughing. "Scarlett, you never told me you had an entire ass husband that night."

"Shut up." I said, trying to shush him.

"What night? How do you two know each other?" Tobias questioned, looking right at me. "Answer me, Scarlett." Tobias said, growing angry.

"Answer your husband, Scarlett." Aleksander teased, causing my jaw to clench.

I decided to remain shut. I didn't have to utter a word to any of them.

"Fine. Stay silent you bitch. How do you two know each other?" Tobias asked, turning to Aleksander.

It almost looked like Aleksander was trying to recall the events but I know damn well he remembered it. "She was at a club that I regularly donate to. We talked and at the end of the night I fucked her." He said, simply.

Tobias looked shocked as his mouth opened trying to form words but nothing left his mouth.

"You enjoyed the night as much as I did, right? Well until up to the part I realized you lied to me."

"So you're a whore?" Tobias asked, looking like he had just been slapped across his cheek. "You're a fucking slut and lost your virignity to a stranger? If you thought your dad hated you wait until I tell him!" Tobias yelled, getting up from the table. "Ask Aleksander for a ride back home you filthy bitch."

And with that he was gone.

"Yikes," Aleksander said, watching him leave. "That was a little harsh. I didn't expect him to-."

I didn't even let him finish. I got up from the table and started heading out.

"Scarlett!" Aleksander called out.

"Aleksander?" I responded, backing him.

"You look pretty."

I rolled my eyes and left the restaurant hoping to call a cab and book a hotel for the night.

Sorry for the late update. I literally have the flu, which is why there might be a bit more spelling errors than usual.

Felt like this chapter was pretty short, so I'll update again Monday.

Next chapter was supposed to be a sex scene but I cut it out because I don't want to write sex scenes between the mc or the mc's love interest and someone else for example. Unless its Aleksander, I'm not writing a sex scene between Scarlett and anyone and same thing for Alex.

QUESTION: DO YOU THINK ALEKSANDER IS HAVING SEX NEXT CHAPTER OR SCARLETT?
