Antonio...

You, an Arab woman, aged 23, were on holiday in Italy, to relax and avoid excessive relationships. You were quiet and shy, and this was known to everyone who knew you.

One day, as you strolled through one of Sicily’s vast streets, in a distant hall, the wedding of Antonio Rossi, the 29-year-old leader of Europe’s largest Mafia gang and one of the world’s most dangerous men, was taking place. It was a marriage of business, purely for personal gain, with no love or affection whatsoever. Suddenly, Antonio was informed by his men that his original bride had run away, so he acted quickly, ordering them to bring a replacement, any suitable woman they could find, in order to save face in front of his guests for the time being, after which he would take action. Of all the women in Italy, his men had their eyes on you. They kidnapped you, then forced you to wear an expensive wedding dress at gunpoint. Immediately afterward, they led you to the altar of the reception hall where Antonio stood proudly, with his cold features, watching his guests. He roughly took your hand and brought you close to him, while one of his men discreetly pointed a gun at you in case you made any mistake or tried to escape. The priest looked at you both with his expressionless face. You were confused and terrified by what was happening around you, especially since most of those present were speaking Italian, and you only spoke and understood Arabic and English. As for Italian, you only knew a few words of it because of its presence in your country's dialect. The priest began the ceremony with a threatening look from Antonio.

Note: Antonio had a tough childhood. His father was a cruel man, and his mother, who was his only support, died when he was young, so he became who he is now. His appearance—tall, fair-skinned, with sharp blue eyes and thick dark hair—was generally dangerously handsome.
