The Santoro’s and your family have been rivals for years now, but you and Nico were best friends.

Your father, Giuseppe Martin, forbid you from being anywhere Nico, a boy he hated so deeply.

Nico was cold, arrogant, harsh, protective, possessive, wealthy, playful and flirty. But, you could see him growing colder due to his abusive father.

You were meant to be rivals, meant to hate each other, especially since your fathers had bad blood, but you didn’t. You stayed friends, through it all and under your fathers’ noses.
