I'm Y/N, and I'm 20. I live in a mafia world—nothing too major tho. My dad has a small business, but I don't ask questions about it. I don't really support this lifestyle but it does let me have a more luxurious life. And it comes with quite many hot men if we're being completely honest. I especially fancy one...

"Y/N come here!" My dad shouts from the kitchen.

"Yes, I'm coming!" I shout back.

When I get to the kitchen I see my father arguing with two other men in a language I don't really understand.

"What is it, father?" I ask him.

"Would you fancy going to a ball tonight?" He sighs. 

My father usually never asks me to go to a ball. Unless he needs a distraction. I always feel uneasy going just from being in the same room that's full of killers and drug lords. The only thing that always makes me wanna go is he. Fox, the younger of two brothers in the De Santis family. 

"Okay... Do you need me to do anything special?" I look away.

"Just pick the most beautiful dress and have the attention on you." He stands up.

"Okay, will do." I give him a little smile and a nod.

"What would I do, without you my daughter." He holds my head and puts a kiss on my forehead.

"It's okay dad, I'll be fine." I reassure him, cuz I can see the worry on his face.

"You will have two guards watching you from afar. Anna will bring you clothes shortly." He gives me a weak smile and goes.

I sigh as he's gone. He's not the same after my mom died in an accident. Their suspicions are about another cartel that tried to kill him but got my mom. I know it's not that simple for him to tell me to go but makes his job a whole lot easier. I return to my room.

"At least I'll see Fox." My eyes sparkle.

"May I enter?" Anna knocks on the door. She's our maid and almost like my mother.

"Yes, sure." I invite her in.

"Your father sent these clothes for you, my dear." She's carrying three garment bags.

"Okay let's see what we've got." I nod.

"Here, you go." She opens the bag and spreads the beautiful dresses on my bed.

"Oh wow, these are something." I examine each one of them.

" Go try them on." She says.

" She says

"I think this is the one." Looking in the mirror there is a completely different girl standing there.

"You are beautiful, darling." Anna comes closer and smiles.

"Thank you." I hug her.

"It's okay darling. You'll shine." She hugs me back.

"You know that  I have to make an impression." I laugh releasing her.

" Then let me do your hair next." She winks.

I sit down in a chair and she starts fixing my hair.

"So tell me about this boy that you fancy, Y/N." She says.

"Oh, you must know him... His name is Fox, he's pretty tall and has dark brown hair, green-blue eyes and what I like most is he seems nice, he's not cold like other men." I bite my lower lip.

"Fox? As in Fox De Santis?" Her eyes get a little wide.

"Yes. That's the one. I know it's stupid, but he's hot and a girl can have her fantasies, right?" I laugh awkwardly. I must sound like an idiot.

"Doesn't he have an older brother? The one that's leading the cartel?" Anna asks.

"Yeah, I think his name is E- something. But don't worry I'm just fantasizing." I laugh and swing my hand in the arm.

"You better be. You know they are one of the leading families, they're dangerous." She stares into my eyes seriously.

"It's ok, I swear." I nod.

"You know what happened to your mother, Y/N. You're too good for a man like that." She puts a hand on my cheek.

"I said it's ok. I have to get my make-up done." I say seriously and get up to go to bathroom.

"Please, darling be careful today, you never know what plans your father has." She grabs my arm before I leave.

I only nod and gently shake her hand off my arm. It always hurts when someone talks about my mother. It's not like I'm gonna end up in a mafia family. My father agreed I marry a regular man, with a normal job, and try to have as normal life as possible. And I know it's coming soon. I just have to wait a little bit more.

"Y/N, come, we're going!" My father calls for me just as I finish my make-up.

"Coming!" I take a deep breath before leaving.
