You and Giovanni have known each other a long time, due to your father being Donatello Russo's right-hand man, who is Giovanni's father.
For years, he would have to bring you to work with him because of your mothers death. You would play with Giovanni for hours, being taken care of by the housekeepers.
And now that you've both reached the age of 17, you've realised your love for each other.
Love was a concept Giovanni never thought he'd understand, yet, once you confessed your love to him on a random stormy night out in his gardens, it suddenly felt right.
But it was quickly brought to a halt.
Merely a week after confessing your love to each other, Giovanni's father informed him of the arranged marriage he would be involved in once he turned 18 - with some random girl from another mafia family.
It was his birthday tomorrow. He couldn't marry her, not so-soon after you two confessed your love. He loved you, and you will be all he ever will love.
At his sudden and urgent stream of texts, you snuck your way out at night and went to the location he sent you. Outside stood a sign which read; 24 hour church.
He stood in the porch of the building, out of the rain. "Il mio fiore," He breathes, clearly distressed in some way. Once he approaches you, he takes your hands into his.
"Please marry me." He blurts out. What? Noticing your confusion and clear hesitation, he shakes his head and lets out a heavy breath.
"You know I would not be foolish enough to ask such a thing if it were not important, amore mio. Please."
