My Property

**Otto**

And once again Otto is in his office working, this was the only thing that made his time go by at night, as he lives on a farm a little far from the city, away from the chaotic noises that only those who live in the city know how it is, during the day Otto has a lot to do, he who has an OCD is quite imperative and demanding when the subject is cleaning, He can't see anything out of place, dirt drives him completely crazy, his house is completely spotless, well padded beds, the dishwasher is always clean, everything in its place, this is the way he chose to live, on his property alone, organizing everything just the way he likes it, when he lived with his parents it was a real madness, When he lived with his parents it was a real madness, a lot of people coming and going, many things out of the places, that made him completely crazy, he was really agitated, his parents knew about his (OCD) was diagnosed when he was a child, his mother tried to help in every way because she saw how difficult it was and still is for her son to live that way, a small thing for him turned into chaos, his father for being the Dom of the mafia, Guerra, when he turned eighteen, left home because he couldn't stand the life he was leading any longer. As he was already working in the family business, he was paid very well to support himself, and today he occupies the position of capo of the Italian mafia.

"Otto doesn't have a good relationship with his father, but he has to go at least once a month to attend the mafia meetings that take place in the family business."

He left the office and went to his room, took off his clothes already in the bathroom, put them in the hamper and went into the shower, bathed very well, dried off, wrapped the towel around his waist and began to dry the bathroom, he could not go to sleep and leave the bathroom all wet for him that is a sin, after leaving the bathroom spotless he returned to the room, went to the closet and put on a thin mesh shorts, no underwear even because he liked to sleep comfortable.

The next day he got up early, made his coffee and drank it, washed the dishes and cleaned the sink, put on his work clothes, put on his boots and went out to his farm, he had a stable with some horses, not many, because as he was alone he couldn't take care of so many animals, after feeding his animals he went to his orchard, made the irrigation leaving his plantation well wet and with a great appearance, he liked to cultivate things there, for him the most he could avoid leaving to go to the market to buy something he would do to avoid, he hated to be in the middle of a lot of people, that walk that has in the market, the chaos for him she his worst enemy.

In the afternoon when it was time for the meeting he got in his truck and drove to the company, despite being the hood of the mafia for him there was no sense in having a big car of the year on his property when the road was completely of mud, besides the car getting dirty would not be nice the bumps that would take for riding in a low car, he had a luxury house in town with a big car in the garage but was there, the house locked and the car stopped in the garage because he did not care to be in that place, preferred his property where he had his peace.

He arrived at the company and went straight to the meeting room, delivered and the meeting had already started, everyone looked at him but quickly took their attention away, they knew that with him there was no censorship and would send everyone to fuck immediately if they were staring at it. He sat down in the seat that was reserved for him and paid attention to what was being neglected. Finally the meeting was over, he got up now to leave but his father stopped him.

" Otto, don't go now, I have something to talk to you about."

" Can not be another time?"

"No," he said confidently, which made Otto snort and sit down again, he hated the idea of having to stay a long time away from his property even though he knew it was one of the safest in the whole region, but to confess, he really hated having to talk to his father who he didn't get along with, he knew that all his conversations always ended in arguments, this was not good for him, he had an excess of anger and when he exploded he was totally out of control."

After everyone left the meeting room his father leaned against the table in front of the one Otto was sitting at and began to speak.

- You already know that you are close to taking your place as Dom of our mafia, right? you know that I am close to retiring."

"I already know all that, I don't know why I want to remember if I grew up hearing this story, I'm here to assume my duty, period, can I go now?"

"Be quiet and listen to me. Otto looked at his father suspiciously, he didn't like this subject at all."

" What kind of things are these?"

" Otto jumped out of his chair."

" WHAT IS THIS?"_ he shouted.

" That's right, you have to get married to take over as Dom."

" You've got to be crazy, you're out of your mind."

" The truth is that this marriage of yours has been scheduled for years, I had to sign a marriage contract between you and Otto's daughter when the girl was still a baby, it was a peace agreement, so our mafia didn't lose out and he guaranteed a great future for his daughter as the Dom's wife in the Italian mafia."

" 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?

"It's not because she's my daughter, Otto, but I'm telling you with absolute certainty, you're a lucky man, I'm giving you a jewel in your hand, my daughter is a beautiful young woman, in fact she's the most beautiful of them all, I don't think you've ever seen such beauty in your life.

"When will it be time to make this engagement official? I don't want to leave here late.

"I'll send for Melissa so you two can finally get to know each other, then we can start the engagement ceremony." Otto was about to open his mouth to complain, for him it didn't make any sense all this delay, everyone knew it wasn't an engagement of two people in love who dreamed about it, but without the engagement of two people who at least knew each other, it was just a contract. Otto was stopped by his mother who held his arm, he understood the message at once and shut up, Russo asked his wife to go and call his daughter to meet the groom, she was talking to her friends.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.

" Come, let's sit down the night is young." _ Russo speaks and walks in front making Otto's parents and him follow the man.

They sat down, started drinking, the men drinking whiskey while the lady drank champagne.

Minutes later the Russian's wife came back to them, stopped in front of them and gave space for a beautiful young woman who was behind her to be seen, Otto's mother opened a smile on the spot when she saw how beautiful her daughter-in-law was, Demetrius already knew the girl so his gaze was all for Otto wanted to see his reaction, Already Otto was paralyzed looking at the woman there in front of him, she had no idea she was so beautiful, black hair in the middle of the coast, shining like moonlight, her eyes penetrating, surprised and at the same time bold.
