"Do I have to, Daddy?" I whine to my father. "I don't wanna marry him." I slump in the chair im sitting in and look away from him. "Mija, you don't have to, just get to know him then we'll talk about him putting a ring on your finger."

My brothers looks tell me they don't want this for me either, my mother's shows me otherwise. "Marco, don't lie to her, we already discussed this with Mrs and Mr Ivanov." Momma buts in.

I roll my eyes as 1 of my 4 brothers finally speaks, "If she doesn't want to, why does she have to?" Enzo, the oldest says. My parents evert there gaze from each other to look at him. "The only reason for this marriage is so we can become allies with the Russian, so it's nothing but a piece of paper." Daddy says.

How he loves to lie. But now that I think about it, marrying this guy won't be so bad. It'll benefit the lifestyle of the Mafia's and less competition is always good.

"And dresses, parties, makeup and hair team-" Momma keeps going with things that a wedding include and I finally get the courage to walk out the room.

"So how was it," Cora puts her phone in her back pocket and her attention turns to me. "I'm marrying this Russian guy for allies or some shit." We walk and talk and eventually find our way to the kitchen, where the guards are talking amougst themselves.

Cora grabs 2 glasses and walks over to the fridge holding them under the water dispenser filling both of them up as we continue to talk.

"When are you meeting him?" Cora ask. Cora has been my friend since birth, always there for me when no one else every was.

"Tomorrow." I say and sip the water Cora handed me, slowly gulping it down. "And when are you getting married?"

I can't believe I'm getting married to this guy I barely know.

"Sometime in December, so like 5 or something months." Cora nods as we put our glasses in the sink and walk over to the sliding glass door.

Opening it, the Florida heat invades us. I guess I should be happy. I haven't dated someone since college. More or so because of my brothers, Enzo, Diego, Luca and Sebastian.

Me, being the youngest, could never do something without telling them which was annoying. I think this romantic relationship will be good for me, even if it isn't romantic.

Last night has got to be one of my worst sleeps ever. I woke up and my throat and mouth and my eyes were as dry as the Sahara desert, but the rest of my body was sweaty and wet which was absolutely disgusting.

Who the fuck turned my AC off.

I immediately got out of bed and turned my shower on cold, taking my clothes off and hopping in.

After my shower I felt refreshed. I changed into my clothes and walked outside waiting for the car to arrive.
