Callie Torres, a beautiful college student was sold to be married to Eric the leader of the notorious and largest mafia group feared by all, not even the government could take actions against them. In order to clear off the debt owed by her parents she was forced into an arranged marriage and in the contract she signed she wasn't allowed to fall in love nor get pregnant if they happens to be sexual occurrences between. Eric was a notorious, handsome and domineering man when it came to handling matters. In the cause of this arranged marriage would neither of them fall in love with each other? And if she does fall in love according to the contract a part of her body is to be cut off.
Edward Jones voice thundered angrily at the bodyguards" bring me the man who was refused to pay his debt after securing a successful surgery for his wife , Hurry!! They scurried away like little squirrels.
The man was brought in to meet Edward Jones,who was looking like an already dead man but there's a lady that accompanied this journey.
Mr.Torres I would like to ask you about the money you have been harboring for the past five years ". He asked calmly avoiding the temptations to become angry.
"And who the hell is this lady crying besides him non-stop.
She flinched at the sound of his voice ,she rose up her head and stole a glance at him and her blood suddenly ran cold.
"Mr Torres answered stuttering she's my daughter and was brought in by your men when coming to get me sir ...
"Ohh I see,she looks pretty though , how about this you give her to us to get married to my son Eric and if after 3 years of living with him as his wife and she doesn't fall in love with him she would be free but if she does a part of her body would be cut off from her.
Mr Torres exclaimed loudly and kept nodding his head in refusal. "No,no,no she's just a little girl in college not fit for marriage and they all tend to fall in love at this age , please sir I promise to pay back just don't involve my daughter. He pleaded
"But all your family were involved the moment you collected a debt and must be paid by my own terms since it's long overdue.
" Fine sir I will get married to him as long as you let my family go.
"Now that's how to make a negotiation ,learn from your daughter and don't be a dumb head ,he said sarcastically while patting gently on Mr Torres face with a mischievous smile.
I already handed over to my son Eric and you must have heard rumors about him , he's more ruthless than I am.
Upon hearing this words it sent shivers down Callie's spine and got her wondering what type of mess she was getting herself into.
Go home to prepare the wedding would be in Three days don't be late and do not think of running away because I will find you,Mr Edward threatened.
Three days later...
She arrived at the venue which was Mr.jones villa.
"Find him and bring him here!!!!!" Edward thundered to the men in black and they scurried away .
She flinched at his voice. She raised her head up a little and stole a glance at him and her blood ran cold. Suddenly she couldn't recognize him anymore. Edward My father in law just didn't look like the calm handsome man I saw two days ago.she had never seen this version of version of him. She looked around and wasn't oblivious of the numerous pairs of eyes on her . Yes she could see the invisible question marks on their heads but she too didn't have answers to some of their questions.
"Oh my, was she so horrible that she had to be stood up on her wedding day." she heard someone say. It was as loud as a gong, but only to her ears she guessed.
She turned her head to the direction of that whisper. it was an older woman talking to her friend.
To be honest, she never dreamt of having to be dressed in the most beautiful wedding gown she have ever seen, only to be stood up by her groom. It was not part of her plans but life has a way of overturning our plans.
"Mr. Jones if your son doesn't come any moment from now, I'm afraid I will no longer to have officiate the wedding" the priest said to Edward.
Edward walked to the priest smiling but the look she saw on the face of the priest was that of horror. Something was wrong, it was when she looked down at Edward's trousers and she saw a gun hanging down and she froze. He wouldn't. Edward wouldn't even try it. it wouldn't be right. She thought but at the same time what has been right since she came into this Villa.
If the priest was threatened with a gun, what would be her case if she made a wrong move? He probably would blow her brains out. She shuddered at that thought.
"Just what have I gotten myself into?" she thought remembering when she had agreed to get married to Edward's son.
She looked from left to right. Maybe there was a secret door or something but then she remembered the old Man warning of trying to run away .
Deep down she prayed that Eric doesn't show up. Maybe she don't need to marry him because he doesn't want to marry her but one look at Edward told me otherwise , he might have handed but still Edward was the one who called the shots here and from their earlier conversation, she dared not run from their agreement.
"callie?" she turned to find Edward staring at her with a soft expression on his face. " do you need to sit? Do you need anything to eat?" he asked her as he examined her.
" no I'm okay, thank you." she replied politely. She didn't want to sober up to him because she didn't know what he had in store for her.
He nodded and beckoned to one of his men to come. She stared at his suit. It was screaming of affluence. It was then that I remembered what the internet said when she decided to check him up.

It's been said that the Jones was from a mafia family lineage, known to be the most powerful mafia gang. The government couldn't arrest them because they were part of the government too. Hence their, prolonged existence. Her line of thought was suddenly interrupted when she heard shouts.
"Eric!" she heard Edward say, as he smiled and clapped his hands like a little child. She whipped her head around and my jaw came crashing down to floor. Standing in front of me, though been supported by two men was the most beautiful man she have ever seen. God! Were people still allowed to be this good looking. He had this coal black hair with dark brown eyes. He was 6ft tall and leanly muscled. She remembered Edward and then knew where got his looks from. Suddenly she wrinkled her nose. There was a strong smell of alcohol coming from.... Him. Eric. He reeked of a strong smell of brandy or whisky, she couldn't place her hand on which it was. Wow he also loved his bottles. Now she was getting married into a family of guns and alcohols.
Eric refused to stand, no matter how the men who held him tried. He fell to the floor and everyone gasped.
He managed to stand up and said " sorry I was out with a friend of mine who was a lawyer to draft a contract between the both of us which states she's not allowed to get pregnant after all they would be a divorce ,I don't want her using a baby as a leverage to stay married to me.
" stand upright Eric!" Edward growled but Eric maintained the same position.
Then the men carried Eric up again and then Edward made it rain punches on Eric's face. Eric had blood smear his white shirt and he was smirking at his father with a blood stained teeth.
She was visibly shaken. She had to hold her hands together to stop it from shaking. How worse can this get she wondered. Suddenly she saw Eric glare at her and her heart skipped a beat. He looked at me like a hungry animal would look at his meal.
" who the fuck are you?" he growled.
