When we finally got to my fathers office we could hear the voices coming from inside getting louder by the second. it was clear that there was an argument taking place so me and Isla decided that we should wait a second before bursting into the office.

I hope this meeting doesn't take too long, I still had not gotten my release that I so badly needed. Because my dear pice of shit father order me to be on time for his stupid meeting.

I can't wait to please myself the second this meeting is over. I would say fuck but I have actually never done that before.

After waiting for a few minutes the argument hadn't died down so we decided to burst open the door instead, reveling my very pissed off looking father. Seated across from him was the devil himself Emeric Valerio looking equally as pissed off as my father Kyros. Beside Emeric was Vince looking bored as hell being stuck in this meeting and his youngest brother Gabriel. No one had noticed us standing in the hallway contemplating about what we should do until my dads voice drew us back into reality.

"Finalmente tesoro, hai finito. Sedetevi voi due!"- My father scolded telling us to sit down by his side of the table.
(finally honey, you are done at last. sit down you two!)

While I took a seat I could feel someones eyes on me studying every feature of mine like it was the last time they'd see it. their intense gaze left me with a burning desire awakening the goosebumps on my bare arms and the hairs on the back of my neck making my lips part slightly. 

The thought of lips parting, soft caressing, grunts and moans filling the room made a blush rise to my face making me tilt it slightly downwards.

A lust filled voice didn't stop the wetness damping my panties, and the worst part is that I know that arousing voice.

"Well hello there princesse, on se revoit"- Vince said with a smirk on his handsome face.
(Princess we meet again)

"sfortunatamente, cosa ci fai qui?"- I said through a yawn.
(unfortunately, what are you doing here)

He snickered rolling his tongue against the inside of his cheek. It looked hot.

I was to occupied studying the way his tongue moved ,that I hadn't heard my fathers words. It seems that Vince had done the same as he had an identical puzzled look framing his face. 

"Sorry, what is this meeting about father"- I said needing to sound formal in front of the French.

"We have come up with a way to solve this conflict between us old friends"- Emeric Valerio stated, authority clear in his hard tone.

Everyone except Emeric and my father Kyros seemed completely lost which made me feel a little bit better about not having a single clue what this meeting was about.

I shared a quick glance with Isla but got a confused response instead. Yeah she isn't listening. She's probably thinking about Mateo. I can't blame her.

Emeric continued ignoring the irritated look coming from his oldest son. The next Capo.

" We have decided to forgive the past by engaging in a deal. The French and Italian have both decided on a conclusion"

Vince looks puzzled at his father, obviously not having a single clue about what he is about to say next. He almost looks hurt at being left in the dark.

It brings a smile to my face, little Vince doesn't know anything.

" As you know my dear son is about to become Capo over the French mafia, and he needs an heir" Emeric let out almost too ashamed to look at his son, Vince.

" Adelaide is said to marry Vince the moment she turns 20 and bring us an heir, no changes can be done" my father finishes having no remorse for basically selling me off.

"W-wh-what" I gasp not believing my ears.

The office felt like a cold, sterile cage as I sat beside my father, staring at the man who was about to become my husband. Vince Valentino, my enemy. The air thickened with tension, and I could hear the hushed voices of our fathers as they finalized explaining the details of the arranged marriage.

"I will never marry her, I'd rather die without an heir!!" Vince's shout didn't quite reach my ears.

My hands trembled in my lap, fingers clenching the fabric of my leather jacket. The home-like furniture, usually a symbol of safeness, now seemed suffocating. My father, Kyros Winston, exchanged stern glances with Vince's father, a man whose values and principles clashed violently with my own.

"Adelaide, darling, you must understand," my father began, his voice strained. "This union is vital for the prosperity of our families, and for the mafias."

Prosperity, they called it. But all I could feel was the impending doom, the weight of a future with a man who stood for everything I despised. Vince, tall and powerful, sat there with disgust overtaking his features, furthering my discomfort.

I tried to speak, my voice barely above a whisper. "I can't do this. I won't."

Father chuckled, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "' It's your duty as my daughter, my dear."

Duty. The word echoed in my mind, drowning out reason. Panic gripped me, and I struggled to find my voice in the face of this nightmare.

"I can't breathe," I gasped, my chest tightening. The room closed in on me, and I stumbled backward, the chair scraping against the floor. My father's gaze hardened, disappointment etched across his face.

"Adelaide, think of our family legacy. This is not just about you."

But it felt like everything was closing in, and I couldn't bear the weight of their expectations. Gasping for air, I clutched at my chest, tears blurring my vision.

The room became a swirling blur, and the world seemed to spin out of control. In the midst of my panic, I realized that this man, who took pleasure in my suffering, would be my future. He will be my fucking husband.

The office became a suffocating space. Each breath felt like a struggle, and the impending marriage to Vince Valentino cast a dark shadow over my future.

"I- I can't do this" I barely managed to get out before darkness consumed me and I felt my body going limp
