The legacy of our fallen leader loomed large, and the weight of their decisions had the potential to reshape our criminal landscape forever.
The air was thick with tension as two rival mafia families gathered. The recent demise of our respected leader, My father, had left a power vacuum, and the Italians, Russians, and Canadian mafias were constantly attacking us.
Despite our long-standing enmity, the families reluctantly put aside Our differences, recognizing the need for a truce to maintain our influence and survival.
Nevertheless, I was shocked when I got the news, that my father died, Anyhow, What shocked me the most was our enemies helping us, My uncle suggested we should take the help of Our Enemies, I was sure that they were not interesting in helping us because all those years Tensions ran high between us, fueled by years of bloodshed and vengeance.
I was proved wrong by them because they suddenly invited us to a meeting to discuss the future of Our clan.
Today, The fate of our criminal underworld society will be decided.
"Adisorn died, Pete is in danger, he is the heir of our business. So, Our enemies our targeting him." My uncle, Anderson remarked to the leader of the other clan.
"You can only help us. We have to save him at any cost,"
"You know, How it works in our clan, right?" Kan declared, making my eyebrows arched in confusion.
"I know, but.." Anderson stopped in the middle and glanced at me.
"Hm, I'll keep him under my protection, but on one condition" Kan muttered, Anderson gulped hard and then, glanced at me, giving me a kind look, and nodded.
"Well, Pete can be part of our clan,"
"Pete is new to this world, He is innocent" I stared at Anderson for a moment in disbelief, Why did he even lie? I'm not new to this world, I'm used to playing with knives and guns at the age of five.
Kan chuckled.
"An arranged marriage, If your nephew marries my son. He will be the part of our clan,"
My world stopped, and my eyes widened. I tried to process what he had just muttered. I completely understood the reason. But, I don't want to be bound in an arranged marriage with Therrapanyakul and be part of their clan.
"Fine, A marriage in exchange for my nephew's protection." I looked at Anderson and clenched my hands in fists, at least he should ask about my decision.
How can he just say yes without my opinion?
"You're handling me over like a thing?" I shouted losing my temper and banged my fist hard on the table.
"It's for your safety, Pete" Anderson mumbled and gently gave me a small encouraging smile.
"No need to fear, We will make a contract that states all you have to do is live together and act like a couple in public and you will take our name last," Kan spoke out.
