3 days before the wedding...

The house had been pretty quite for the past few hours seeing as Jordan had to leave and deal with something outside. It's only been 2 days since I started acting all lovey dovey with him and he's already beginning to trust me. As soon as he shut the door and drove off, I knew it was my chance to finally explore the depths of the house that Jordan wouldn't let me discover. This could be my chance. This is my time to find a way out

I put my dishes in the sink after I finished up my lunch and decided to make my way around the house. There has to be secretes hidden around here somewhere. Romano always had tricks up his sleeve and being in this house is no exception

The first and only place that I had to investigate was his study. Every time I came near his office he'd always make a big scene saying it was confidential business that I'm not ready to be exposed to. Bullshit. There's more. There's always more

I reach the top of the stairs and open the mahogany door that separates me from all the things I knew and didn't. This is it. This will reveal everything

His study looks like any normal room. A big mahogany desk sits in the middle of the room with plush green velvet lined chair. Along the sides of the walls sits rows and rows of  bookcases and directly behind the desk was a giant window. It seemed like a room for the president, but it wasn't

I make my way over to the desk and pull at the cabinet attached to the underside of the desk. There's gotta be something in there, but to my luck it was locked. Do I need to break another frame so I can pic my way through this? If so, I need to work fast so he wouldn't suspect a thing

Like a scavenger, I maneuver my way around the office hoping to find a key somewhere. Of course there's always other things to consider, like him taking the key with him. That makes sense in any logical way, I mean why would he leave the door open?

Thinking fast, I pull a bobby pin out of my hair and squeeze it through the keep hole and jiggle it around a little. The cabinet drawer soon slides open and my heart finally relaxes. In the cabinet there are files beyond files in alphabetical order. My fingers slide along each file before moving back up to "A." Maybe he has some stuff about me here...

My heart almost stops as I pull out a file with the words "Charlotte Akagi" written in his familiar scroll. I flip open the file and read some of the general information typed out about me. My birthday, what I'm studying, my location, and my blood type. But more than that there a history. A history I was unaware of...

"....In the late 1800s Katsu Akagi lead the Yakuza in a violent gang raid against the Italian Mafia lead by Marcus Romano. The dispute between the two gangs resulted in a loss of thousands of members on both sides. History between the gangs was always never good. Each side had difficulty settling on ideas and agreeing on terms set by each other..." 

What does this have relevance to? I never knew anyone in my family was involved in gang violence. The way I saw it, my parents took pride in being an Akagi and always told me our family had a history of doctors and engineers. Innocent people. None of this is making sense to me...

I keep reading the page until I stumble upon some writing written in red pen on the side of the page...

"In order to get the gangs to work together, I need to marry into the family..."  

What?! If this is true, no one from what I'm aware of has anything to do with this in my family...

But who knows...

This is a Mafia leader I'm dealing with...
