CHAPTER TWO

LUCA’S POV

Luca was angry when he found out about the arrangement that his father had done in his name with his longtime friend just before he had passed away.

He was furious that at the age he was now his old man who was dead could still tell him what to do even when he was six feet underground.

He was frustrated and angry but he had always respected the old Man, his father never did anything for nothing, and this was his last wish so he was going to fulfil it. There has to be an Advantage for him cause his father did everything with a purpose.

He needed to do it and be done with it as soon as possible so that he can focus on matters that are of value and importance to him like his Businesses, billion dollar companies and leading his family like his father had always done.

He had too much shit happening and marriage was not one of the things he was going to focus on, he had men who needed him to lead and companies that needed his focus on a daily basis, and now he did not need to have some girl who will also be needing his focus and his protection, because him being a Mafia boss was too dangerous for him to be tied to a girl forever.

He became the leader as soon as his father passed, he had stepped up into leading everything that had been left in his name, being the leader of the Mafia while making sure his Mother and brother Nathan his right hand man as swell as his little sister were safe.

He had no time for matters that involved his heart nor did he think himself capable of actually Falling in love. He did not want to marry any woman, he had no use for them, he had options when it came down to choose with whom he could have a good night with and dispose of them, he did not need to be attached or involved with anyone for anything long term.

He was going to do this but if his old man was still alive he would have said no without a second thought and he would have severed the arrangement and never find himself being involved in this marriage. his dad knew thats why he did it behind his back, So he was going to Marry this girl just because he is benefiting alot from the arrangement so why not kill one bird with one stone.

The girls family was just as powerful which is what influenced his answer on why he even agreed to this, he was not going to waste and lose power that was being handed to him on a plater, they had been powerful competition and allies but now they will be useful for him and that's just an advantage.

The girl’s father is one ruthless motherfucker he had been his fathers friend for most his life and he liked people who added more importance to his plate, He did not care about the girl nor the marriage, this was not something he wanted for himself not in this life or the next .
