Episode 1

How rude of him! He’s not going to make things easy for me here.no matter how angry I am, i have to know in the mafia world everything is a test! But i still need to know more about him. I should probably ask the worker Marlot.

“ marlot!”I called out. “Yes madam .” “Is he always like this?” I asked. “ he isn’t always charming like this. He must like you somehow. “ he said. “ ch-chi—arming?” I asked looking confused. “ he doesn’t talk to others.” He said. “ OTHERS??” I asked looking confused as hell. “ oh, you didn’t know? Thought ur grandpa had told you. It was mentioned in the letter. “ he answered.

I stood there not understanding anything he had just said cuz why won’t grandpa tell me this? He probably thought i wouldn’t go if i had been told this before coming. He wasn’t wrong tho.

“ sir Sebastian was supposed to choose a wife. It was arranged by his father that our fairest mafia prince from different clans were… sent here.to live for a year… so he could decide to take on a bride that would fit him and the family.

But unfortunately…half of them ran back home within the first month because of his ignorance towards them. The others…well, let’s say Sebastian refused to marry them and their clans are…ruined. You were one of our last choice due to how petite your clan is,but I’m sure your fate will be… different.” He said.

I listened to everything he said and couldn’t find my words. I was forced here and I’m not even a first choice. Great. I was done with my questions and i needed to pick a room, i chose the queen’s room it’s very beautiful marlot kept saying that was the best choice and Sebastian will be proud. But i didn’t care i just chose what I would feel comfortable while sleeping in.

I kept deciding if i should lock the room door or not, but i ended up locking it . That delusional man will never be able to enter here. no cell reception? What is this…i kept trying to call them through the cellular phone but it wasn’t working.Then i heard a knock, and whoever was knocking kept trying to break in,there’s no way he can break in here. I i thought.

Seconds later Sebastian broke in as he works in with a knife. “I can’t tell if l’m impressed or disappointed by how low you think of me for not beinging capable of opening that. “ he said.

i looked at him with an angry expression. “ I’m buying new locks tomorrow.” I said. “ please, do. I’ll hand you over my card , I’m curious to see how far you’ll go. But you got good taste, picking this room. Here are your luggage. As promised. “ he said.

I collected my luggage then thanked him before a noise distracted us from behind.there it was a crow. “ now is not the time mal. Don’t pay attention to him.” He said. I was happy a pet was in my room so I turned to him and said “ now you can leave my room. “

“ can i have a please?” He asked as he lens over moving closer to me, his breath catches my throat. Then he whispered “I’m going to be straight forward with you. I don’t want to marry anyone, and my father won’t force me to marry you for an alliance.

Having a wife is a weakness I can not afford, unless…” I didn’t let him finish. “ unless what? “ i kept waiting for an answer. “ you see Olivia. I’ll marry only for love. “ he said. he was so serious that I couldn’t help but chuckle. He, a ruthless man wants to marry for love…just like i do .

“ then let’s not do this. Neither of us want this . Why obeying to our families?” I said. I didn’t want to marry him either we both don’t want to what’s the point? “ I have to go through with this charade for a year, unless you stop this. It’s tradition. Your clan will most likely disappear once I’ll take over the throne. This whole marriage contract after a year is a scheme from my father. He’s using this as an excuse to force my hand to settle and produce heirs. If this fails, your clan is so weak it won’t resist against us, so he will give the order to destroy you for failing.” He said.

So it’s my responsibility to fail or succeed? I see. “ meaning, surviving this year won’t be easy without allies, and you better find some fast. I could be one…you already made a good first impression. And I’m curious to know what the granddaughter of zureni martinez has in store.

or who knows, if you’d be the one I’d desperately fall in love with to the point of submission. You already caught my attention, but i can’t tell if it’s a good or bad thing yet. “ he said. “ mal tolerates you. That’s uncanny.” He said as he steps back. They think they’re powerful and rich!

“ i appreciate you warning but get out of my room, Now!” I said. “ as you wish.” He was about going when he stopped and said something. “Oh, and i forgot to tell you my bedroom is just next to yours, neighbor.”

This manor has like hundreds of rooms but he chose one next to mine . “ i can’t wait to see what you’re made of let’s see if you can survive here or worse, win the heart of a man who has none .”

He said and walked out, i knew i was cooked but no going back now . I have to remain strong and show them what I’m made of it’s for my kingdom and grandpa i can’t fail them . They shall see how far i can last.
