The Mafia's Marriage Substitute Trap
Brian: Damn it, Dad, I'm not getting married now, everything is going so well, my businesses are flowing, the attacks on my nightclubs have stopped, the company is at its best, why should I get married at this point in the championship?
Diogo: You know this was going to happen, sooner or later… the advisers are already on top, they said that if you don't get married in 3 months, your cousin will take your place, is that what you want? Tell me, is that it?
Brian: Of course not, that imbecile never did anything to grow in life, now he wants to live at my expense… he doesn't deserve to be a dom. (I say leaning back in my chair)
Diogo: So stop whining, and get ready, because you're getting married in 7 days…
Brian: WHAT? (I say getting up from the chair)
Diogo: That's right, or do you want me to draw it for you?
Brian: Marry who? The wind? I haven't even found a bride yet… (I say sitting down again)
Diogo: You already have a bride, and you know it…
Brian: That round girl from the Rossi family? No, I refuse…
Diogo: You don't even know the girl…
Brian: The whole town knows her, there's no one more promiscuous. (I say refusing to accept this). Can you change the deal, and put her sister in her place?
Diogo: I doubt her father would accept, that youngest one doesn't even leave the house, she's never present at mafia events, it seems like she's locked in a tower…
Brian: Find a way, Dad, you can do anything….
Diogo: Okay, I'll try, but I promise nothing. (He gets up and leaves the office)
I pick up my cell phone and make a call.
Call on
Brian: Bruno, investigate the youngest daughter of the Rossi family, I want a full report.
Bruno: Yes sir, you'll have that report by tomorrow.
Brian: I hope so.
Call off
I try to get this problem out of my head, whoever heard of Brian Salvatore getting married… This life is not for me, I like my parties, I have women whenever I want, why tie myself to one? I must be crazy…
I put that thought aside, and go back to work.
Meanwhile at the Rossi Mansion
Call on
Sergio: Okay Diogo, the deal is on, a mobster doesn't break a promise.
Diogo: Great Sergio, the wedding will be on Saturday.
Sergio: Okay.
Call off
I leave the office and go straight to the dinner table, where my two daughters and my wife were.
Paola: So dear? What was so important that Diogo wanted?
Sergio: To talk about the marriage agreement between his son and Karine.
Paola: What? My daughter will not marry that monster… You hear the stories, he's ruthless, he kills anyone he wants… I won't leave my daughter with him. (She says throwing her napkin on the table)
Karine: It's true, Dad, I won't. I have my studies, my things, besides, everyone says he's very ugly. I deserve better.
Sergio: You know very well that a promise is a promise, and a mobster doesn't break a promise. (He says seriously)
Paola: Honey, you don't have to break the promise, just Ana go instead of her sister, isn't that right, honey?
Ana: Me? What do you mean? You don't want Karine to go through the worst… but I can go through it? (I say indignantly)
Paola: Don't compare yourself to Karine, you do nothing. You're not even good for studying, she's already in college, she can't stop her life because of a stupid deal.
Ana: Of course, you never let me study. I could never do anything, just be your maid. Since my mother passed away and my father met you, my life has become what it is today. I'm the excluded one from everything, which is wrong, since I'm the legitimate daughter, and Karine…
Sergio: Shut your mouth, you insolent girl. (I feel a slap on my face). Go to your room, and only come out when I say so, and you will marry in your sister's place.
I put my hand on my face, and look at Paola and Karine, who at the moment is with a sideways smile, I feel a rage rise up in me, but I know I can't do anything. I run towards my room, lock the door and there I break down in tears.
Ana: What will become of me, Mom? Why did you leave? Why did you leave me here? Take me with you, please, I can't take it anymore… (she says crying, huddled up)
I stay in the same position until I fall asleep.
