Joseph listened to the young woman as she spoke. He let her talk and despite his booming headache, he simply sat and listened. She had a hard life, and it was hardly fair for her. Sure, this was not the most optimistic situation, but it still seemed to be better than the one she was in prior to meeting him. Despite the fact she didnt answer his question, he made her a glass of coffee and sat down by the table. He had prepared both of them breakfast, and set the fancy looking utensils for him and for her too.

He grew up in a house filled with women, and while his father tried his best to explain him that he was the man in the house and he needed to act like it, his mother did make sure she'd raise him a fine gentleman. He motioned his hand forward, as if inviting her to sit in front of him." Look, regarding your house...I can't promise that my father won't try and claim it as his own. But regarding the things you have there...I suppose we can go there and you pack what you need. What is important to you. Just don't take things that are not essential, because, as I said, we can buy anything you set your mind to." He added.

Joseph continued eating as Ali spoke. He watched her speak of what a shitty father Henry was, and suddenly, he didnt feel all bad for his death, and he could also understand why she didnt feel that bad." Look, I will speak to my father. I don't think it is necessary to draw too much attention to us, so we will wait with the wedding until your graduation. So you can tell your friends we met somewhere casual and instantly fell in love and all that. So it doesnt [i]have[/i] to be wierd for you. "Joseph added. His father would probably oblige, after all, they didn't need unrelated people in their business anyway.

"But I do have one request from you." He began as he drank his coffee. Oh he needed that glass so nuch he nearly let out a soft moan from how good it did to his headache." Cut any ties to any friends you have, after our wedding." He said coldly." This life...Its different than anything you had. We do business with strong, dangerous people, and if you cross those dangerous people, they won't bat an eye when they hurt your loved ones. So...I know its a lot to take in in one day, but for the time being, you will have to suffice with me being your friend. Its for their own saftey."
