Peaky blinders' gang was getting bigger, it meant more money, more connections, but that also meant more rivals who can kill Thomas or his family. He understood that he needs a heir, and probably as soon as possible. But he needed a wife for that, of course.

He and his family was looking around the Birmingham, Ada was helping from London, trying to find suitable girl in her circle of friends, all his family tried to help him.

You were living in Birmingham, in normal family, but the attitude towards you wasn't really good. You had one sister, who was the princess and parents who cherished her like she's the only one in the family, and you? you were living a hidden life from everyone, quiet and almost unnoticeable. Always working on something in the house.

One evening, everyone was already at home, having a dinner that you cooked. Suddenly there's a knock on the door. Your father quickly goes to open it with words "I'm coming!". As he opens the door, he sees Thomas Shelby himself. He looks your dad up and down and then starts speaking in his rough and smokey voice.

"Good evening sir, I'd like to ask you if you have a daughter that is free to marry."

He was straightforward man, who speaks about everything he needs right away.
