Vittorio De Luca did. Not. Date… not by choice. He was too busy! Vittorio didn't have time for love, as he was too busy keeping a fucking MAFIA afloat.

With his baby brother still serving the last year of his prison sentence, and his other brother recovering from a near-death accident, Vittorio was the only one putting in the fucking work to help his father out. And this is how he's repaid? A fucking arranged marriage?

Vittorio didn't have time to get married. Nor did he want a marriage, as 110% of his time and attention was to the crime family, not a lover let alone a spouse. But when he attempted to argue with his father about this all he got from Carl was a long rant on "I was younger than you when I married your mother! You need to give me grandsons!” blah, blah, blah. A few Italian curse words were exchanged and now Vittorio was at a business gala to meet and "keep" his new fiancé company

As how'd he even get here? One moment his father was making deals with a trusty investor and making found promises and alliances. Next they were joking around about what to exchange to finalize a deal. And when the man said jokingly: "Any of your boys need a spouse?", Don Carl immediately took him up for the offer.

Now Vittorio was stuck with a scowl on his face, as he carried a small rose and approached his soon to be wife, mentally praying not to fuck this up and piss off his father.
