Hey guys, this is my first time submitting my work. I wrote a lot but i normally lose interest and stop midway. So, in order to overcome my 'short-term interests' disorder (lol), I decided to submit my works here. Do forgive my English if I made any mistakes since English is my second language. I would definitely appreciate your constructive comments so I can fix and write better for you or myself. Thanks a lot and enjoy this prologue. I hope I don't stop midway again this time. Xoxo

Ariana drove around the city in her Porsche in hope it would clear her mind off the talk she had with her father earlier. Her life has been a roller coaster ride being the only daughter to the famous Adrian Rossi; the Italian Mob's boss well known all over the underground crime world. She always knew she'll have to take over her father's 'business' one day and knowing she's the minority in the men conquered business, she dealt with it professionally. Some of the clients would give her a once-over, some would deliberately sexually harass her verbally or physically, and most she would just point a gun between their head to show them she's not someone they can fuck around. It took her only five years to make her own name in the industry and at her age now; twenty-eight, she already made three times profit than her father.
While other girls played with Barbie dolls and dreamt of their prince charming at the age of five, Ariana learnt how to assemble and disassemble guns. She master the art of handling guns at a very young age and her father always make her carry one around. Her favorite would be the rare Heckler and Koch P7M8 Jubilee that her father get her for her 7th birthday.
She never say no to her father. She always obey him no matter how ridiculous his requests are. A part of her blamed him for taking away her childhood but another part of her just wanted to make him proud. She could see it in his father's eyes, her being a girl is just a curse. But he somehow gained enough faith to actually trained young Ariana to get to this point, impalpable and impeccable.
But today her father has crossed the line she don't remember she ever draw. They were sitting across the large dining table enjoying their lunch before her father dropped the bomb in the middle of the meal.
"Giovanni will be visiting you this Friday," Adrian voiced.
"Interessante, to what I owe the pleasure?" Ariana asked wondering why would the well-known Giovanni come visit her in Chicago all the way from Rome. She met him once, Nicholas Giovanni. He's a cool handsome old guy with pepper and salt hair around her father's age and she knew her father and Giovanni go way back in Italy.
"To attend his wedding,"
"With who?" That's interesting. She never knew Giovanni would thought of settling down. With an American girl moreover. Guess not having a heir to pass down his business to had pushed him to do so.
