Setiap malam Natal, pewaris Keluarga Mafia Marsa, Adrian Marsa, harus mengikuti tradisi keluarga, yaitu mengundi sebuah nama untuk menentukan apakah dia diizinkan menikah denganku. Karena aku, Irene Karsa, bukan keturunan mafia. Jika dia tidak menarik kertas undian bertuliskan namaku, dia tidak boleh menjadikanku istrinya. Selama empat tahun, Adrian sudah melakukan undian itu empat kali dan tidak sekali pun namaku yang terambil. Aku selalu mengira dia bertengkar dengan keluarganya karena aku, bahwa dia rela mempertaruhkan posisinya sebagai bos mafia hanya untuk memilihku. Setiap kali dia gagal, dia akan memelukku erat dan berbisik, "Nggak apa-apa. Masih ada tahun depan." Aku mencintainya sampai rasanya menyakitkan. Begitu sakitnya, sampai aku bersedia menunggu ... tahun demi tahun. Tahun ini, aku berkata pada diriku sendiri, "Kalau dia masih juga nggak menarik namaku, aku akan diam-diam menukar hasil undian itu." Aku menyelinap ke depan pintu ruang kerja Adrian, lalu mendengar adik laki-lakinya bertanya, "Bos, setiap tahun sebenarnya kamu menarik nama Irene. Kenapa kamu pura-pura nggak menarik namanya? Apa karena kamu masih belum bisa melepaskan Sera?" Namun, Adrian hanya menjawab dengan suara datar, "Sera membutuhkanku untuk urusan mendesak. Lakukan seperti biasa, tukar nama Irene dengan kertas kosong." Dia pergi tanpa menoleh. Alih-alih menukar, adiknya justru membuang kertas kosong itu ke tempat sampah, meninggalkan kertas bertuliskan namaku di atas meja, lalu bergegas menyusul Adrian. Aku masuk ke dalam. Mengambil kertas kosong dari tempat sampah dan menggantinya dengan kertas yang bertuliskan namaku. Membuang kertas bertuliskan namaku sendiri ke tong sampah. Adrian, aku tidak ingin menunggu dan menikah denganmu lagi. Aku akan memberimu pilihanmu.

What's that saying about never looking a gift horse in the mouth? Well, I did. I looked it straight in the eyes, after I called it a moron, drooled a little, remembered I hate the oposite sex and then I ran. The life I have had changed the moment my mother passed. The life I struggled to adapt to after college tore me apart emotionally. I thought he was my saviour. He helped me grieve. He was there when I didn't want him to be, when I didn't know I needed him to be. He was everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. He fought my demons with me and for me, he watched me and over me. He creeped me out, but made me feel safe in many ways, so tell me why this specific gift came with only one stipulation. Who hurt me? The gift horse would be Lorenzo Russo. Empire builder and underground Mafia man. He's a smart man with good charms and psychopathic tendencies who ensures he gets what he wants, so he doesn't take kindly to being told no. By me.
