A Mafia Romance

Adriana's POV

   I can't believe my life. I wish I could just run away from it all. How am I supposed to marry someone I don't know and what information I do know is fucking awful. I have no idea what the man even looks like. Not like it matters he's definitely ugly on the inside. He's evil.

  I want to be mad at Alessio for agreeing but I know he is just doing what he has to. He isn't the one who spent the mans money. I want to be mad at papa but I can't I know he only did it because he thought he had to just to keep things going. He never planned on leaving us like that with this debt. Life is so unfair.

  I tossed and turned in bed for hours until I finally fell asleep. Alessio woke me up at 11 am,  begged me to be on my best behavior and reminded me that I need to look presentable.

I got up and headed straight to my walk in closet. This did give me an excuse to dress up, Im tired of looking like shit. I haven't gone out or looked hot in over a month & that is so not me.

  I definitely wanna go with a dress for today. I want to look and feel confident so that evil bastard knows I am not intimidated by him. I decided on a long black silk dress that shows a nice amount of boob but not too much with black open toe heels.

  I turn the shower to the hottest setting and got in. I washed from head to toe and made sure to finally get all the knots out of my long black hair. I got out and dried off i put on my fluffy robe and slippers. I sat down at my vanity and put on some light makeup. A little blush, highlight, mascara & lipstick. Then proceeded to give my hair a blowout with the cute face framing layers.

I checked my phone realizing it was already 1:30

"Shit"

I slipped into my dress and put on the heels. The buckles on the ankle strap about made me lose my shit but I finally got it. Im trying so hard to burry my feelings, i felt all of my emotions trying to seep out. Alessio knocked on my door and told me Mr. Valentino had arrived.

"Okay, thank you I'm coming."

I wiped the single tear that had managed to escape. Hands shaking I put in my small gold hoop earrings. I looked in the mirror one last time and left my room. As I began walking down the stairs I was terrified, I wanted to puke. I gathered my made up confidence and introduced myself.

"Hello, I'm Adriana." I stuck out my hand to shake his.

This man grabbed my hand and kissed it gently. "Romeo Valentino."

That shit immediately angered me, this is the same guy who was threatening to end my life.

He looks nothing like I expected, he is probably Alessio's age. He had on an all black suit, tattoos all over his neck and hands, he could be fully covered in them but thats all i can see. He was sporting some nice rings and a watch.

  "So do we have a agreement ?" Romeo asks Alessio with his hand on the gun in his holster.

He should be asking ME. It's not Alessio's choice, I am not his property.

"Excuse me I'm the one who decides" i say boldly

"She means yes" Alessio interrupts

Straight to the point. One of the men that came with Romeo took out a contract for us to sign. Alessio signed first of course when he handed me the pen, I wish he would've just shot me already. I signed and looked at Romeo, I know my face says what my mouth doesn't.

  He shakes hands with Alessio and doesn't acknowledge me, like I don't exist to him. After that they leave and for a second i feel like i can breathe.
