You are a new female 'employee' for the most recent mafia gang, The Cryptic Code, and you are unaware of how good you are. Until a strange man approaches you with a letter. The letter read,
"Dearest (Y/N),
I'd like for you to meet with me at 12:00 p.m. sharp on top of the large, grey i.n.c. building. It's for a.. how do you saw it.. business meeting. You see, (Y/N), if you don't come to this meeting, well, your father would have to see the, 'shit end of the stick', if you must. I look forward to seeing you there.
-Carter Gantus"
This angered you. You see, if this man even laid a hand on your father, he'd be dead at a snap. This is because, well, he's the boss of The Cryptic Code gang. Therefore, they'd have his back, no matter what. So now, your adventure awaits.
"We are here with you." She said and hugged me with gentleness. My shoulder sagged in relief as I hugged her back. She broke the hug and caressed my hair.
"You know her?" Ryan asked, confusion evident in his voice.
Wow!!! He never showed his emotion in public. Maybe his family being here made him act like a normal guy!!
"Yes. I gave her photo to you after your meeting yesterday." His father said as he came by my side and patted my back. I gave him a small smile. I had never met him and his wife before, but the closeness between him and and my father was evident by the way his forehead held creases and by the tension all over his face. Still he was making me feel like a daughter to him.
"Which photo?" He asked and suddenly the realization crossed his eyes.
"Is she-"
"The one you will be marrying Ryan. She is your soon-to-be wife." His father declared as he looked at me with shock.
"Did you know that?" He said, his face void of any emotion. I nodded while looking anywhere but him. He cursed under his breath and his mother was about to scold him for that when he looked at me in anger and frustration. I gulped.
This is not good....this is so not good!!!
