Chapter 2 There is still a hope

" I'M NOT GETTING FUCKING MARRIED. "

" OF COURSE YOU ARE, IT'S A CONTRACT AND YOU MORE THAN ANYONE KNOW THAT CONTRACTS CAN'T BE BROKEN, YOU KNOW THAT A MAN'S WORD IS HIS HONOR, THE TIME HAS COME TO HONOR MY WORD."

" FUCK YOUR WORD, FUCK YOUR HONOR, I'M NOT MARRYING ANYONE, I DON'T WANT A WOMAN ON MY PROPERTY WANDERING AROUND, I DON'T WANT HER IN MY HOUSE GOING THROUGH MY THINGS, SLEEPING IN MY BED, I DON'T WANT TO AND I'M NOT GOING TO GET MARRIED."

" YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT IT'S NOT ONLY MY HONOR THAT'S AT STAKE, BUT YOUR HONOR AS WELL, NOT TO MENTION THAT IF YOU DON'T FULFILL THE AGREEMENT AND MARRY THE RUSSIAN'S DAUGHTER, THIS WILL CAUSE A WAR, IMAGINE YOUR MOTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR HAVING TO EXCHANGE FIREARMS IN ORDER TO SURVIVE." Demetrius knew that his mother was Otto's only weak point, and he began to break all the things that were in that room, and to him that would be worse than a death sentence, having to sleep and wake up next to someone every day, seeing that person in his house, he knew that not everyone had the same thought of cleanliness that he had, and if that woman was a slacker and left his house upside down and messy, he certainly could not stand it. When he got tired of breaking things he started to walk from one side to the other, he turned to his father and wanted to swear at him but controlled himself, he had to think about his mother, a war at such a time would not be good for anyone.

" When?"

" Tonight there's going to be a dinner party at their house to make the engagement official and in the same week the wedding."

" You bastard, you've already arranged everything, I just want to throw everything up in the air and fuck off."

" The truth is that Demetrius was loving this marriage story, for him this would make Otto stop his "coolness"."

Otto turned his back and left furious about the whole thing, it wasn't in his plans to get married, his heart was already broken because he had fallen in love once, back in high school, the girl just played with his feelings, in the end she betrayed him in front of everyone at school, he, as a mafioso that he was, couldn't stand to see that, killed the boy in front of him and swore never again to fall for the charms of a woman, he knew that was exactly where the pain lay, the betrayal, the falsehood, never again got involved with anyone like that, except for the prostitutes that he would fuck just to satisfy his own desires, but now it was different, now he would have a totally unknown woman by his side, someone to share the bed, he didn't want this, he hated this idea, but he would have to keep the agreement but in mind not to let things easy for her, even if he let himself be taken by her, he knew how false a woman can be to get what she wants.

**Otto**

After Otto left the company very angry he went back to his property, a little later his mother sent him a text message asking if everything was ok with him and that she missed him, soon after she sent the place and time of the event to make his engagement official, Otto was so angry with this story that he only saw the message and didn't answer, later he would apologize to his mother for not answering her but at that moment he was not well, In fact nothing was fine and she knew that everything could get worse from the moment that a woman entered this property as his wife, she thought many times about not going to this engagement event but knew that even against his will he had to go there and honor the agreement, as Demetrius had said, it was not only his honor that was at stake but both the honor of Guerra and the honor of the mafia, they never break an agreement and this would be no different.

At the appointed time his mother had asked him to go in his car that was at his home in the city because the only event site would not be able to park his truck, Otto was not liking anything this "clowning" but did what his mother asked, arrived at the event and was greeted by his father and mother who waited anxiously for his arrival, the truth was that both were afraid he would not appear on site.

"My love," Elena, Otto's mother, goes to him and hugs him, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hi mom."

"You look beautiful, like a prince.

"Don't exaggerate mom, I just want to make it clear that I'm not here celebrating anything, I'm obligated by the duty that the mafia demands.

" Ho my love don't say that, look on the bright side you will now have a companion by your side, to help you, who knows maybe you two won't end up falling in love."

"Mother, she is not welcome in my house, she is not welcome in my life, I will swallow her for owing the mafia nothing more than that, enough of this subject, let's soon end this nonsense.

As soon as they entered the salon Otto saw some familiar people, including Russo and his wife.

"Finally he arrived, I don't even know what to call you, if you call yourself his son-in-law, Otto.

"Otto doesn't mince his words, what he has to say, he can say to anyone, Russo smiled because he knew very well that Otto was not an easy man, Russo's wife was a little worried because her daughter was like a little crystal, will this overbearing man, who shows he is not happy with this marriage, treat her daughter well? The woman was agitated at the idea of him mistreating and beating her daughter, even though there were some things that should never happen but many women knew that there are many men in the mafia who beat and mistreat their wives, would Otto be one of those?
