LUCA STARES AT HIS REFLECTION. It's his birthday today, the day he'll finally be able to be old enough to escape his father's restrictions — well that's what he hoped for — his father doesn't seem too keen on the idea. A blank expression appears on his face, he wasn't sure how to be, he wasn't sure if he was able to smile his way through this occasion made for businesses to thrive. His birthday is just another opportunity for his father to broaden his business connections.

"Is there a reason you're not smiling right now?" the sound of his father's voice causes Luca to straighten his back. The both of them struggled to talk to each other as family, they seemed to connect in a more formal way. It pained Luca to know that his own father utilised him in various ways to earn more money, what hurt more was; his father didn't raise Luca to be a son but as a product of business.

"I don't feel like it."

"It doesn't take much effort to fake, I hope to see you smiling when you walk down the stairs; our reputation relies on your ability to be as good as possible." his father remarks, glancing at Luca with a firm gaze. "As you know, turning eighteen is a huge milestone, it allows for me to set up various plans and one of those plans being marriage."

"Marriage?"

His father shakes his head. "Don't tell me you forgot what we Valdez do."

"Enlighten me." Luca states sarcastically.

"Once you turn eighteen in this family, it's a tradition to strengthen our family by arranging a marriage with another rich person who can benefit your wealth." his father says with a proud expression, but his words made Luca feel sick, sick to the point he felt miserable. He didn't want to accept this fate of his, he hoped that his life would go a different direction. He hoped he could be someone, someone beneficial not end up with a person who doesn't love him for him but love him for his money.
