I'd never been more sure of that fact than right now. The realisation seems to loom over me like the words coming out of my father's mouth. Though only one seems to stand out.

I wasn't naive to the fact. Marriage was inevitable. There was no such thing as a permanently unmarried Boss. It just hadn't been a priority - until now. I'd tried to avoid the subject matter for as long as possible, believing that I would be the one to decide when I'd ruin my life by settling down with only one woman. It certainly came as a surprise when it was explained that my claim to my father's seat as the head of Cosa-Nostra was being held to me being married beforehand.
"You cannot be serious." I said glaring at my father, clinging to a hope I knew didn't exist.
"I've never been more serious. I've taken the issue up with the rest of Cosa Nostra and they seem to agree just fine."
Of course they fucking would. Cosa Nostra had and would always be made up of stupid, arrogant old men whom despite their complete disregard for women as anything other than objects to be seen and not heard seemed shocked and outraged at the thought of an unmarried Boss. Much less one my age.
Not knowing how to proceed, I slumped back into the chair with my arms stretched out on both sides.
"I'll never understand your aversion to marriage." He said, eyeing me curiously.
"I have no aversion to marriage, my aversion is to me being married. I don't want the burden of a wife when I take the responsibility of a Don. You have always taught me that my greatest responsibility and loyalty should be to Cosa Nostra, I've proved my loyalty and demonstrated my leadership." I stated, looking him directly in the eyes.
"Then prove it, one last time. Or forfeit everything you have worked your entire life for."
With that, he stood and left the room leaving me sitting in the study alone.
Fuck.
