Both her father and mine have warned me to stay away from her, to not cross any boundaries and start creating problems within the faction. At the end of the day my dad's second in command will put his daughter above everything else and I definitely don't want to be the reason why their friendship gets strained. I'm trying to keep my distance because I know I can't have her, but I want her so bad. After all, I am my father's son, I am a Matteo, and we're used to getting what we want, even if I have to go against my own father and hers.
