The Beautiful Tragedy;
•••
Only striking at night and lingering between the shadows, traumatizing and killing any and everything that get's in her way leaving a small 'maledetto incubo' engraving behind, twenty year old Arabella Estella Romano manages to destroy Germany's largest and strongest mafia overnight. She is given the name Mara; the malicious entity in Germanic and Slavic folklore that rides on people's chests while they sleep, bringing on nightmares. She happily brings home the crown to her own Italian mafia family only to find out her father has signed her away for a wad of cash. She did it all for him, though he didn't think twice before signing away at the contract- which was more then just a piece of paper but his daughters future.
An arranged marriage, that's what it was.
Despite being the strongest female in the game, she had no power or authority to turn this request down. Alessandro Liam Costello; better known as the king of all of Europe, any and every person who knew the name feared him deeply. Despise his age, he got any and everything he wanted- being the don of the Costello legacy. Alessandro Costello demands the marriage of his little brother Luca Oliver Costello to be with Arabella Estella Romano.

"You aren't special Arabella! This is an opportunity of a life time! You're lucky someone is willing enough to take you in, let alone that someone being a Costello!"
"I don't want to be taken by a Costello dad! You could've stripped me of all my possessions and kicked me to the streets- I wouldn't have cared. But why Luca Costello? You know him dad, you know his intentions! You know damn well he doesn't trust bitches, you know he will never love me. Why? Tell me why you would do this!"
"You have no right to question my authority, Arabella. Your wedding in tomorrow and that is final, get some rest."
