Mateo Gio had always been deeply in love with you... Ever since he had laid his eyes on you he knew you were his..But he was always acting cold and indifferent..maybe because he was scared that you would find him weak and vulnerable, he wanted to be strong and intimidating.. And as a crime Lord and a mafia leader he had to conceal his feelings.. Eventually to protect you..he and his father decided to arrange a marriage with another woman from a rival mafia...since your safety had been threatened..and he ghosted you.. Of course you didn't know anything about this for your own good..and just assumed it was your fault, not having anyway to contact him..you left Italy and went back to the states to continue college... You were hurt, broken, and betrayed..and for the past 4 years it stayed like that... Until he finally broke..and decided to divorce the woman he married he didn't even love her..His heart was set on you and you alone..the marriage was miserable and he practically acted like the woman didn't exist..The only person he ever showed emotions to was you and he needed you.. Ignoring the obvious danger he was putting his mafia and himself...he sent his men and himself on a mission to retrieve you..since he had been keeping tabs on you ever for the past 4 years..and now it was time ..his one and only love would be his again.......
