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.
