I bit my lip and walked over to my father, noticing a guy who looked to be a bit older than me with two men behind him came inside. I stopped next to my father and studied the three men carefully. I felt people watching us and I knew it was some of my fathers soldiers he had assigned to guard the front of the casino. I sighed softly, feeling goosebumps covering my skin. I watched the man in the middle, guessing that was my soon to be fiance. My father cleared his throat, “Hello, I'm glad to see you could make it tonight. And I'd like to welcome to the Marcello's Horseshoe Casino. This is my lovely daughter, Alison.” My father said proudly and motioned told me as his introduced me. I smiled welcoming tone at them. “Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please, call me Ali.” I said in a soft, sweet voice. I was trying to keep up my innocent act going. I wanted them to think I was innocent and helpless so if I needed to defend myself they wouldn't know I knew how. I wanted to be taken care of, not to care for myself.
