That was ridiculous. He didn't want to marry. Especially not some random woman he just saw a few minutes ago. Sure, he did plan on marrying his ex. He had the ring and everything, and he planned his proposal through and through, but yey he didn't get to execute his plan. Joseph was about to protest yet again, but then he saw the way the young woman's step father was treating her. Everything about that low life suggested thay young woman needed to get out of that house and quick. Though Joseph wasn't certain that marrying into the mafia was a good idea for her, but perhaps it was the best she could get right now. "Oh! Splendid! I wanted to be kind and give the two of you a few more days to arrange everything, but I am certain that Joseph would be more than glad to not go to sleep alone tonight. Right, Joe?" Antonio asked and shoved his elbow onto his son's ribs, waiting for him to answer. "Fine, whatever! Not like I'm going to be home after this." Joseph huffed and shot a glare to his father." You play with people's life as if we're all just pawns in your little game. Asshole." Joseph blurted oit without one thought of the consequences his words would lead to. He was far too deunk and tired for this. "Joseph..." The older man sighed." You know, you'd think that...When they grow up and are over the age of twenty, they'd be more respectful towards their parents, aren't Im roght, Henry? Your little bitch also seems to be a little mouthy. But don't worry..." Antonio grinned as he stood up, and grabbed his son by his curls, and then brought him down to his own height." You apologise this instant, or I will make sure every dime you see from me is gone for good." He growled quietly, though his threat was enough to make his son apologise. "Very well then. Leila! Would you show Lady Alison and my son to their car? The driver already awaits for them." He said shortly, acting as if nothing happened. Joseph huffed and fixed his hair as much as he could. This kind of gesture was not odd for him, after all, his father was a gang leader. He needed to show his power. They would beat each other up quite frequently. Joseph wasn't just taking hits, usually. The young man sighed lightly. Perhaps he'd be doing this woman a favour by taking her away for that shitty excuse of a father this man was." Fine. Lets go, Alison, was it?" He asked with absolutely no emotion in his tone. He got up and started heading out, waiting for the woman to follow.
