Lexi's P.O.VWhen we arrived home from dinner we went straight to Diego's office and told him we saw Marco and everything he said
"Shit....I didn't think he would do this" Diego mumbled
"What. What are you talking about" I asked Curiously
"People in the underground were talking about how the Spanish and Italian mafia are joining forces by marriage" Diego said
Carlos and I gasped
"WHAT" we screamed as we got up from the chairs we were sitting on
"Take a seat and I will explain" Diego said and we nodded and took a seat
"Ok. We are seated...tell us now" Carlos said
"Apparently Marco needs a wife to become a leader and he saw how you are about to be a leader of the mafia, so he asked your father for your hand in marriage. Your father agreed so you and Marco are arranged to get married" Diego said
When Diego said that my jaw was on the fucking floor
The fuck?
"I don't want to marry him. I can barely stand looking at him anymore" I said
"That Italian" Carlos said through gritted teeth
"Why now. I have been here with y'all in Russia for 7 month's already" I asked
"Apparently it is mafia rule that if a female mafia leader weds a male mafia leader, then the male gets her half and he is leader of his and her mafia. She has no say" Diego said
"So Marco is just marrying Lexi so he can get half of our mafia" Carlos asked
"Correct. If Lexi marries him he will be your new co-leader instead of Lexi" Diego said
"That's not fair. We are in 2020 women should be in power and not treated like they don't have a voice" Lexi said
"Amen to that sweetie" Amelia said as she walked in with Adriana
Amelia went over to Diego and gave him a kiss then walked to sit in the couch
"What are we talking about" Amelia asked
"Well. Apparently I am arranged to get married to Marco, so he can get the mafia. The usual stuff" I said and Amelias jaw dropped
"Woah. That can't happen Lexi and Carlos are just starting their relationship" Amelia said and I laughed
"What" Diego said staring at Carlos
"She's exaggerating. We aren't dating" Carlos said and I nodded
"Why does he need our mafia. Isn't his powerful enough" Amelia asked as she passed the baby to Carlos
"I dont want to hold this get it away" Carlos said as he held the baby far away
"Carlos she won't bite" amelia said and he scoffed
"So I am not the parent you or Diego can hold her" Carlos said annoyed
"Just hold her carlos don't be a wimp" Diego said and Carlos just rolled his eyes
"Fine." Carlos said
