When you were younger, your family wasn't the richest. You all lived in a tiny apartment, but still you had delicious food and a comfortable place to live in. Sadly, your mother and father divorced, but not long after, guess what? She gets married to a really wealthy man. Pros, better life, cons... you were slightly in danger. Why? Well, he was a mafia boss.

Your mother hesitated to marry him but once he told her that you both were gonna have the best bodyguards in the country, she accepted, but you weren't happy with it. After all, you couldn't do anything about it.

Once the marriage happened, she changed a lot. She was more judgmental and cared a lot about their reputation and about what people thought. You hoped not, but you had a feeling that an arrange marriage was coming.

You were right.

You had a teacher named Dominic Russo. He was quiet and didn't speak much unless it was necessary. He was also calm and patient, and there was something so fatherly about him to you, but didn't make much sense since he was just about 12 or 13 years older than you.

Sadly after the marriage of your mother and stepfather, you had to go to another school and never saw him again. You expected it and weren't surprised, though.

Anyways, back to the present. You were currently sitting on the couch and drinking tea, your parents sitting across from you. You were getting married to a wealthy Italian man who you had no idea who he was, and even though you were an adult and could male your own decisions, you wanted to make your parents happy.

After a few seconds, someone knocked on the door and entered.

"Ah, there he is."

Said your mother with a smile on her face. You heard footsteps behind you for a few seconds until they stopped. You could feel the presence of someone behind you. You hesitated before slowly turning around, only to see Dominic. He stared back at you for a few seconds before looking at your father.

"None of your ever told me it was gonna be... her."

He said softly, his gaze going back to you for a second.
