This is a rewritten version, it is different from the original.
Aria:
My rich, self obsessed great aunt sold me to a mafia leader. Me, a twenty-two year old woman who's a cop.
Not to mention the case I'm working on is to bring down said mafia leader.
This world ain't all sunshine and rainbows, anything can happen. I'm an undercover cop and I'm in deep, too deep and now it's biting me in the ass.
He's apparently 'claimed' me, says I'm 'his' but if he wants me, he's gonna have to drag me whilst I'm kicking and screaming because I sure as hell won't come easy.
Cops who are found working undercover in the mafia normally end up sleeping with the fishes, instead I'm in a much worse situation; I'm in a fucking nightmare and I'm not waking up anytime soon.
Slade:
The most important thing you have to remember in the mafia is don't trust anyone, be persistent and never have a weakness.
Be strong, vile and numb.
I go by three rules and three rules only.
One: You betray me, you die.
Two: You disrespect me, you die.
Three: You mess with my gang, you die.
Anybody who breaks these rules will be six feet under.
Then I laid eyes on her.
She broke all the rules, she should be dead, gutted like a fish, just like all the other mooks who've tried to take my gang down, yet she's still here.
I was captivated.
I craved her.
I became addicted.
Now I own her, and shit went to hell from there.
