Most of Reyna's life has been dedicated to helping people but what happens when she's the one in need of help?

"I want you to marry me." I state. "That's what I want from you."
"That was unexpected, you suprise me Reyna." He says. "Let's say I agree to this, help me understand what you hope to achieve by becoming my wife."
"I want power. I want guaranteed protection. When the spouse or child of a don is murdered by another, the husband or father is labelled as weak. They're blamed for it and some even turn against them. If you marry me I have no doubt that you'll keep Aiyden safe as he will be practically your own."
"And what about you? You seem like a hard person to protect." He states.
"You'll protect me too. If by some chance I manage to get myself killed well, the world already thinks I'm dead, I don't think they'd bat an eyelid if I die a second time much less blame you if you weren't directly at fault."
"And what do I get out of this?" He asks.
"I'll provide medical help to the best of my ability whenever I can to you and anyone you wish with no questions asked. I'll play the role of your wife and your parents will stop hounding you about settling down."
"How did you-"
"I know how it goes." I state. "I'm good at saving lives but I'm also good at taking them. I can be valuable to you."
His lips curve into a smile. "So tell me who this oh so dangerous man is."
I shake my head. "Not yet. Do we have a deal?"
Anatoly just stares at me for a second. "Fine, we have a deal."
"We need to get married in the next few days, your mafia members will be the only ones in attendance. I don't want you to even tell them what they're gathering for. I can't chance word of this getting out or he may try and strike before it's too late."
"My family will be pissed if I don't invite them to my own wedding," he says, the smile still on his face "but it's a good job I don't care."
I let out a breath of relief, I thought he was going to insist on them being there and that would ruin my whole plan.
"I need to make some preparations and have some contracts drawn up, how's 8pm tomorrow night?" Anatoly asks.
"Sounds good."
"I expect you'll be bringing those two friends of yours that you always hang around. I'll let you deal with telling them the news. You may leave my house as you wish but if you're not here at 8pm tomorrow, consider yourself my enemy and I don't use that word lightly." He says. "Also Valentina and Leo will be attending and while I won't tell anyone else why they're gathering I require Valentina and Leo to know."
"I don't expect my friends to know and not yours."
