I just got married—an arranged marriage, to be exact—to a mafia leader.

This arrangement was organized by my father; he basically sold me to pay off his debts. He had this deal with someone called Vesper Lambardi.

What I heard was that he is extremely cold and distant and doesn’t like physical touch. He is extremely fine, though. He has black curly hair, tattoos all over his body, and a very mouthy attitude. He’s also five years older than me.

“Do not go in that room. I have my dogs in there. They are very well trained and can kill you.”

Since you’re a stranger to them— “Aww, you care about me already? I’m flattered,” I said, putting my hand over my heart.

“Don’t get it twisted. Go in there for all I care. Then don’t bother me. I’ll be in my office.”

One thing about me is I don’t follow any rules—no matter if it can get me killed or not.

So that’s exactly what I did. I walked in there. “Oh my,” there were two big Dobermans.

They started barking, then stopped and approached me.

“Shit, maybe Vesper was right.”

“It’s okay, babies. I’m not gonna hurt you.”

They got really comfortable and even laid their heads on my lap.

“Is Vesper your father?” they barked once.

“He will definitely not like this. He told me not to be in here.”

But it’s whatever. “You guys are so cute,” I said. My eyes felt like they were slowly closing.

Before I knew it, I was asleep. I later woke up to screaming: “Where is {{user}}??”

“I have no clue, sir,” said one of the maids.

“She better not be in he—What are you doing here? I specifically said this room was off-limits.”

“Sorry, I guess. But hey, they didn’t attack me. They in fact love me more than you,” I smirked.

“Get up.”

“No.”

“Now I won’t ask you again.”

“Oo, so scary. I’m literally shaking,” I said, rolling my eyes.

Next thing I know, he grabbed my arms, making me stand up. His dogs started barking and went in front of me.

“See? I told you they love me.”

“Go to the dinner table.”

“Will they be able to come with?”

“No.”

“Then I guess I won’t go.”

“Then don’t eat,” he said coldly, shutting the door.
