"Please my lord!!! Lend me the money, I promise to pay you back!! "I just need to start up a business to take care of my family please!" The man cried in front of the mafia boss sitting down like a king on the chair smoking dangerously.
"So what if you can't pay back?" He asked in his cold scary voice.
The man kept quiet for a while before speaking up.
"Speak" said the God father.
"I will give you my daughter" He finally said.
"I don't remember you having a daughter". The boss frowned.
"My wife gave birth yesterday, that's why I'm here for money...my lord" He said.
"Okay...deal" The boss said and immediately the man fell flat on the floor.
"Thank you so much!!!".
The mafia boss turned to his men.
"Get him a bag and make him sign the contract", he ordered.
"Yes boss".
The man was taken away after that.
Soon enough, the boss's seven years old son came in with the mobsters, sweating all over as he had been training all day as usual.
"Why are you here? Your training time isn't over" The boss said.
"Dad I'm tired....".
"Never say that word in front of me again you weak human!!!" His father yelled and the boy broke into tears.
"No more tears!! Mafias are strong men, tears and weaknesses are taboos!!" He shouted.
"I want to play with other kids...".
"How many times have I told you that you're not like other kids?" The boss stood up.
"Take him away, add extra two hours to his training session" He ordered his men.
"Yes boss!" And like that, they dragged the little boy out while he continued crying.

Years later!.
Alice opened the mailbox in front of the house and brought out the only letter inside, she checked it out with quite a confused face, she wasn't expecting any mail but she was surprised just now, when the mail boy dropped one inside their box so that's why she came out for it.
"Honey!" She called as soon as she entered the house.
Simon who was sitting down on the couch reading the newspaper as usual with his glasses looked up.
"What's the matter??" he asked.
"Were you expecting a mail?" Alice asked, settling on the next couch.
"No, did we get one??" Simon asked.
"Of course, here" Alice handed the letter to him and he dropped the news paper in his hand before taking it from her, he opened it carefully, but as he read the headline, his eyes grew wide and he adjusted on the couch, getting the attention of Alice who got curious immediately.
"What's that?" She asked.
Simon finished reading the letter and gave it to her.
"It's from....Godfather" Simon mumbled and Alice's eyes widened also.
"Just one day left?!! How come you forgot about this?!!" Alice shouted.
"Calm down honey, it's nineteen years already, I swear I totally lost count" Simon said.
"So what are we suppose to do?? You know how dangerous he is, just twenty four hours...".
"Where do you expect me to get such amount of money??" Simon asked and Alice looked at him.
"What are you trying to say??" She asked.
"I'm saying, if he insists on collecting the moment back before twenty four hours, then we have no choice" Simon said and Alice stood up at once.
"You're not planning to give my daughter out right?"
"Then should he kill us all?!" Simon snapped.
"How dare you say that?!!!" Alice yelled but immediately Simon's phone rang and they both froze.
"Don't answer that call" Alice said immediately, but it was already too late as Simon already answered it out of fear, and the deep voice of God father Peterson came on.
"Your time is clicking already Simon, bring my money right here or you give me your daughter as promised".
Simon and Alice were shaking already but Simon spoke up.
"What...what....will you ....do to my daughter??" He asked.
"Simple....she will get married to my son" God father Peterson said.
Alice and Simon exchanged glances.
"The countdown starts...don't make me call you again".
The call hung up.
"Marriage??" Alice and Simon faced each other at a time with both fear and confusion written on their faces.

"That sounds interesting", Flora chuckled after God father Peterson finished telling them details about their next mission.
"As if she's gonna bomb it" Dinah let out a mocking laughter.
The two are known to always be on each other's neck so no one is surprised when Flora let out an angry glare.
"What did you just say??" She asked.
"Can we just keep quiet?? Godfather isn't done yet" Cassia groaned.
"Silence". God father Peterson said in his low and deep voice which sent total silence across the whole room.
"You're moving tomorrow morning. This isn't like our usual night missions so you need to be well prepared, any mistake and you're dead" God father Peterson said.
The gang members said no word.
"Indigo, you're not going with them" God father Peterson said and Indigo stood up immediately.
"Godfather...".
"No argument" God father Peterson snapped and Indigo made the face which caused everyone to laugh out.
She's the youngest and is almost counted out of most missions since she was the last to join, Just few months ago, She was brought in by Mason.
"Sorry doll" Nico said.
"Stop calling me that!" Indigo snapped.
"Maybe when you stop acting like one" Camden said and Indigo glared at him.
"I've not seen Mason all day" Cassia said.
"He went on the ship mission alone" Flora said and Cassia's eyes widened.
"What?!! That's dangerous Godfather!" Cassia said loudly but quickly controlled herself.
Almost immediately, the door opened and Mason came in, everyone stood up instantly, he was half covered with blood while holding a box in his hand, his face look so cold as usual.
"Mason!" Cassia called and immediately rushed to hug him tightly.
Mason stood still as Cassia hugged her to her satisfaction before letting go.
"Are you okay?? Blood....".
"Not mine" Mason said lowly and left her front, he dropped the box in front of God father Peterson and he smirked.
"Good job son" God father Peterson said and got up.
"You should take over from here, see me in my suite after you're done, we have something to talk about" God father Peterson said.
Everyone bowed as he walked out of the red room with the box Mason brought.
"Hey" Enzo smirked at Mason
"Take over, I'm not in the mood for this" Mason muttered and walked out of the red room.
"He didn't see me" Indigo mumbled sadly after doing her best to get his attention but still got ignored.
"Am I the only one or Mason is getting more handsome??" Dinah asked and Cassia frowned.
"Back off bitch" She said immediately
"Silence!" Enzo groaned and there was silence.
"We should talk about how we are moving tomorrow, not this" Enzo said.
"Fine, go on" Flora rolled her eyes.
••••
Mason entered and met God father Peterson in the cella taking his favorite wine.
"Oh, you're here" God father Peterson let out the smile that Mason hates so much.
"What do you want to talk about?? Need to get these shits out of my body" Mason said, referring to the blood all over his body.
"Can you be less harsh son??".
"Do you need me or not" Mason said.
God father Peterson left the cella for a minute and returned with something like a file, he gave it to Mason who opened it impatiently.
He read the content and he looked up with a cold frown.
"What is the meaning of this??" He asked.
"What does it looks like?" Godfather Peterson asked.
"I'm getting married??" Mason asked and God father Peterson smiled.
"To who, the f**k?" Mason snapped.
"You will find out tomorrow" God father Peterson smiled.
"Stop making that smiley face as if what you're saying is making any damn sense!!" Mason snapped.
Godfather Peterson dropped his wine and moved closer, no smile on his face this time around.
"You need a wife who will give you a son...that would probably take over after you. Just like me" God father Peterson said.
"Was that the reason why you got married to mom?? "Just because you wanted the next devil like you??" Mason asked and God father Peterson laughed.
"You should know by now that you can't go against me son, you're getting married and you're getting a son.....".
"You're saying sh*t, I'm not getting married, not interested in love sh*t, you taught me that remember??" Mason said.
"You can't fall in love, I'm not asking you to fall in love with her, all you need is the child" God father Peterson said.
"Talking about this, where did you send my mom to after she had me??" Mason asked and God father Peterson frowned.
"I told you she's fine son, don't make me change my mind. Do what I'm telling you to do" he said.
"You better be sure she's fine. If you dare hurt her then I will kill you by myself, I swear, Peterson" Mason said and glared at him before walking out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
