I finished college and hopefully put my family's mafia life behind me, but apparently, my parents have other plans.
Veronica's parents make a deal with another mafia family to let their oldest son pick and marry one of their daughters to end the war...

"Veronica(Roni)"
My name is Veronica but everyone calls me Roni. I am 24 years old and just graduated from college with a degree in photography and business. I'm driving back home to my parent's house, hoping to be able to follow my dream and open a photography studio.
I haven't seen my parents in five years since I left for college. My dad is a mafia boss, and I've always hated the lifestyle we lived in. I mean don't get me wrong the money was great but, I never knew if we were safe and we had to always have a bodyguard or driver with us everywhere we went. I feel like I never got to enjoy or experience the normal life of a kid.
When I got my acceptance letter for college I was thrilled. I could finally leave this life behind me at least for a little while. I changed my last name to my mother's maiden name in order to go to college without a bodyguard so I could experience college the right way. My older sister Clarissa was also in college but came back early for some reason. Most people probably enjoy having a sibling and are close to them, not me. Clarissa is a total class A bitch, she has treated me like shit literally my entire life. I'm not looking forward to seeing her or even my dad, because he is an asshole and they are just like each other. My mom, on the other hand, has always been the best and sweetest mom.
I finally pulled into the drive to our home. I feel like I forgot what it looked like. The massive fountain in front with a circle driveway around it. I grab my bag out of the passenger seat and climb out, taking a few deep breaths, I walk to the front door and walk-in.
"Mom, dad I'm home."
No one responds but I hear raised voices and arguing coming from the end of the hall where my dad's office is. Ugh already dreading being back. I walk back to the office and open the door. I see my dad sitting behind his desk, my mom sitting on the couch, and Clarissa standing with her arms crossed glaring at my parents.
I walk in smiling "Hello"
"Hey Hunny" my mom quickly jumps up and walks over giving me a huge hug, I hug her back and tears start to fall down both our faces. I've missed her so much, if It was just her I would have made a visit home to see her but, I didn't want to risk seeing my dad or my sister. We pull apart both wiping our eyes.
