mar·riage 1. the legal or formal union of two people as partners in a personal relationship. Marriage is an ancient ritual performed by two inseparable lovers who wish to be bound legally and spiritually for the rest of their lives. For most, marriage is the beginning of a blissful life full of love and happiness. For me, marriage is the end of my existence. For me, marriage is the end of my cherished innocence. My name is Valentina D'Angelo. I'm 18 years old. And I'm being forced to a man I neither know or love. A man that is championed in our world for being a ruthless, cold-hearted monster. A man who is the son of one of my family's greatest rivals. Alexander "The Butcher" Cavanaugh. Our union is purely for the notion of strengthening both our families in order to protect ourselves against a greater evil. My parents say this marriage is my duty as a mafia princess. But I'm almost certain this marriage will be my destruction. [18+ Mature Audiences Only]

We're having a test tomorrow and you have to participate." "What does that have to do with the bet?" "If you don't get an A on the test," I paused. "You have to stay out of my life forever." He chuckled. "That's easy. Alright but, if you lose," He stepped forward, making me have to look up to see his face. That infamous smirk was back on his face. "You have to be my pet, Kitten." I snorted. "Like that will ever happen." "Deal?" He stretched out his hand and I took it confidently. "Deal." *** Kimora Woods, a girl who despises Jaxon Falls, the bad boy player AKA Captain Douche.

everything about this moment was beautiful and if it was up to me, it would have lasted forever. this boy was my bestfriend, the best friend that i had almost lost. little did i know that almost losing him was the reason we were here right now. it was the reason we would never be the same.
