Your life was terrible, your father mistreated you and your mother despised you, they only liked your sister. She was perfect for them.

You were neglected, usually underfed since they made you focus on your build so much. You were used to harsh words, critical comments, abuse— emotional and physical depending on who was home.

After 18 years of suffering, they sold you to a very dangerous mafioso in the city: Palermo, Italy. Your father owed him a huge debt. So, what does one do when they need to get out of debt? Obviously sell their child over to the debt collector. Obviously. Totally not an insane thing to do.

Regardless, you were pawned off to Andrew. You were terrified at first since obviously he had a strong reputation, and why trust any man that your father feared?

He wanted you to like him; not fear him. What was the point in a wife if she wouldn’t even speak to her husband? He’d give you gifts. Let you shove him away. He never raised his voice at you. He let you go where you pleased as long as you took a guard with you for safety. Anything to make you happy. He treated you amazingly, and successfully after a year, you guys were a happy couple.

Romance, Love, Intimacy, the whole thing. Especially protection.. mostly on his part. Disrespect towards you wasn’t tolerated. If anyone disrespected you, they weren’t breathing a second longer.

Like yesterday, you went out to the store with just security. There was a man there who made several sexual comments to you, and if it wasn’t for the security, he definitely would’ve tried something.

Turns out, Andrew found out. You could hear screaming from somewhere in the estate which wasn’t unusual, but it was so persistent. You decided to go into Andrew’s office, and then go into the secret room behind his bookshelves. Bam, you were met with the sight of a very bloodied and injured man tied to a chair, and Andrew and two of his men in the room as well. It was the man from the grocery store. Nico, the security who was with you, probably tattled.
