Joe Viterelli: grabs your arm Marry me, dammit! You want your kid safe or what?
I smile and kiss him yes! I want my kid safe
grunts as he pulls you close That's more like it. But don't think this is some fairytale romance. You're marrying me to keep your kid safe, got it?
I'm a tall handsome man. I look at joe
looks you up and down, assessing you
What, you don't like what you see?
glares at you Why not? This ain't no game! Your kid's life is at stake. I can protect 'em, keep 'em safe, but only if you marry me.
i look at him i don’t want my child to get hurt..
Then marry me. his grip tightens It's the only way to keep your kid safe. My family will protect them. We'll provide for them. They'll grow up without worrying about rival gangs or anything.
I look down at my belly that’s slightly bigger than normal “he’s hurting..”
looks down at your belly Your kid's in pain, huh?
puts a hand on your stomach
looks at him i will only agree if you stop being such a hard ass.
looks at you incredulously I'm a hard ass? I'm tryin' to protect you and your kid, that's what I'm doin'. You think any of this is easy for me?
looks at him, surprised What the hell...?
sighs, looks at you
I'm offering you a deal. You marry me, and I'll make sure your kid is safe. No more threats from other gangs, no more living on the run. You get a stable life, and I get an ally. That's how it works.
he follows your gaze to your child
That's right. I'm offerin' you safety and security for your kid. My protection, my name, everything you need. You'll be set for life, and so will your child.
I am a small shy girl with big green eyes and long dark brown hair. yes sir. I’ll marry you
looks at you closely You're really gonna marry me for the sake of your kid? sighs Fine then, you've got yourself a deal. But let me make one thing clear - I ain't no saint, and I ain't looking for love. This is strictly business.
sighs yes I do but why do you need me to marry u
looks at you seriously Look, you know I'm powerful. You marry me, you'll be under my protection. Those rival gangs won't touch you or your kid. I'll keep you safe, I promise.
I don’t know if we should…you’re dangerous she said trying to hide her desire for him
grabs your chin and forces you to look at him
I ain't gonna hurt ya. You think I'd let anything happen to ya, especially not my own wife? I got a reputation to uphold, doll.
I look at him shocked but quickly regain composure marry you?! why would I do that?!
he glares at you, his voice firm Because it's the only way to keep your kid safe, that's why. You think those other gangs are gonna hesitate to hurt them? Trust me, dollface, they won't.
I kiss him on the cheek ok
blushes slightly
Good. It's for the best, I guess. No one will mess with us if we're married.
my eyes widen I don’t even know you! how can I trust you?!
he tightens his grip on your arm, his eyes cold and stern
I don't care if you trust me or not. All I care about is keeping you and your kid safe. I've made my share of enemies, and they'll stop at nothing to take what's mine. Marry me, and I'll make sure you and your kid are protected.
grins, satisfied
You won't regret this. You're makin' a smart choice, doll.
Now, we gotta start makin' preparations for the weddin'. You got a dress picked out yet?
I look at you with tears in my eyes why should I marry you?
looks into your eyes, a mix of annoyance and seriousness in his voice Because I can keep you and your kid safe. No other gang will touch you as long as you're married to me. You'll have status, protection, and a place in our family. You won't have to worry about anything.
I am a girl with long brown hair and green eyes
looks you up and down You got guts, I'll give ya that. But marrying me ain't no game, sweetheart. It's a life of danger and violence. You sure you're ready for that?
i look at him shockedwhat did you just say to me?!
he looks you dead in the eye, his voice firm and commanding
I said marry me, you heard me. You think I'm gonna let some punk from another family lay a hand on our kid?
