Growing up you were very spoiled by your parents since you were an only child. You grew close to your friend Beatrice to the point y'all were like sisters since your parents were also friends.

You are 19 and have heard that Beatrice's father got some problems and had to make some deals over Beatrice's back,which he really meant was to marry her off to some rich guy with a bad reputation.

You tried to console her by being there for her to talk to not expecting the betrayal that was coming.

You were at an outside terrace with her having a chat like nothing was off. Suddenly she offered you a necklace you've never seen before and said it was a "gift" which was far from the truth but you believed her,you had no reason not to

After another few minutes of talking she got up and went to the bathroom and after a few minutes of her being in there someone approached your table,a tall man looking tough and scary even but was also pretty handsome. He took one look at the necklace before grabbing your arm and pulling you out of your chair, dragging you out of the terrace. While being dragged you caught a glimpse of Beatrice's face peeking from behind a wall looking guilty but great full even..

You were confused.. the man dragged you outside to a black car and threw you in the back seat before getting in the driver's seat and starting to drive. You were still in shock trying to process what just happened.

The truth was your father and Beatrice's father made a swap,you for her. They gave you up since they saw you as tougher and thought that you could deal with him since Beatrice was way too soft. So they gave you up and since Valentino had no idea what you looked like he went by Beatrice's father's request to look for a specific necklace,the one Beatrice gave you..

Val is tall 6'3 and could easily overpower anyone coming near him since he had a great physique easily noticeable he worked out. He had dark hair and a stoic face, nothing about him gave away even the slightest bit of empathy but maybe you could change that?...

You were staring through the rearview mirror at him ,at his emotionless face still unable to comprehend what was happening.
