Everyone stares at her in shock, mouths agape.

Except for myself and Gigi of course.

I'm just looking at Car proudly, a subtle smirk plastered on my face as she stands up for herself.

Gigi however is not so subtle.

He's full on leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed, biting his lip to try prevent his large smirk from turning into a grin.

Oblivious idiot.

Car is holding eye contact with Luka, who stares back at her just as intently.

"Well, it seems you already know the nature of this dinner." Luka states, all happy emotion now having left his face entirely. "But Carlotta," He continues condescendingly, "If you believe you're so well informed on mafia relations, you would know this arrangement is contractual. It must be seen through."

"Bullshit!" Massimo finally snaps, "I will not sit here and listen to you talk about Car's future like this!" He exclaims.

"Yeah! Are you really going to sit here and force your daughter into a marriage for the sake of your mafia?" Maxim chimes in, equally as angry.

Luka breaks eye contact with Car, who smirks victoriously, and levels a look at Maxim, "Its business son, you wouldn't understand." He says shortly, making Maxim scrunch up his face in repulsion.

Carlotta snorts a laugh at that, snapping Luka's attention back to her, "Is that all I am to you? Business? A chip to trade for something better?" She questions rhetorically, causing Luka's jaw to clench in frustration.

"You wouldn't understand Carlotta." He grits out.

Carlotta ignores him though, continuing on, "Is that why you took me in all those years ago, hm?" She eggs him on, "So you'd have a mafia daughter to trade as soon as she turns 18? I mean for fucks sake, its my birthday today Luka." She seethes.

I can see Gigi still watching her proudly, mumbling praises under his breath, "αυτό είναι το κορίτσι μου, αντεπιτεθείτε."

(that's my girl, fight him back)

I shake my head and chuckle under my breath at his behaviour, he's so whipped for her.

As he should be.

"You will show respect and address me as your father!" Luka bellows back, outraged at the 'disrespect' from Carlotta.

All her brothers look about ready to murder him, but Carlotta only smiles evilly at him in return, cocking her head to the side like hunter to prey, "Yeah? Tell me Luka, what kind of father would sell his daughter off to a 24 year old mafia Don?" She snides, making me internally smile at the hypocrisy in her words, but I get she's trying to make a point, "You lost that title the moment you lost my trust."
