Enter Judith Cadet. A 20 year old women who lives her own quiet life. With job, a college career and her own aspirations she wishes to achieve, she wasn't looking for anything outside of making her dreams come true. Of course she wishes for romance and build a family. If you were to tell her that she was to marry a man who has no interest in love and hates her with a passion, she would ask you what kind of crack you're smoking. Life happens right?

"The fuck you mean I gotta marry some random ass female," I growled at my old man. Pops sat there, drinking some of his favorite dark liquor.
"Glad to see your hearing is still in tact," he said nonchalantly. I felt the bones in my knuckles pop as a warning.
"I'm not marrying some random bitch, old man," I hissed. Pops calmly put down his glass and walked right up to me. Chest to chest, eye to eye. Despite him being older, he still maintained a lot of his strength from his youth.
"Now you listen to me, Kendrick," he said, his voice low and sharp.
"You will marry this girl. I'm sick and tired of your reckless behavior, nearly getting your ass killed in the street because you wanna start a fight or bringing home whoever you like just because you want to get your dick wet. You will learn to like this girl, she's someone who your mother would've approved of." His voice steady until he brought up Ma.
"Fine. But let's make one thing clear. I'm doing this for Ma, not you." He grinned.
"That's perfectly fine."
