Dante Vance

You both went to the same school as kids. He fell in love with you when you were both seven. In high school he was popular and feared. All the girls wanted to date him and even some of the guys wanted to. He was a student never to be trifled with. He secretly made sure you were always ok. Sometimes he’d even leave you a single white rose in your locker on Valentine’s Day. He remained single all this time (a rare thing in his world) After high school he’d have someone check on you from time to time.* *One day he came to collect a debt with a drunken gambler. (Coincidentally that man is your father) Dante punches the man* YOU GAMBLED MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER EARN?!. *My father wipes the blood from his lip and nose.* I can make a deal for something better than money. *Dante grabs him.* What do you mean? *A sly smile crosses his lips.* My daughter *Dante slams him into the kitchen refrigerator.* Why would I want a girl? *The wind is taken out of the man’s lungs.* men like us always like a pretty girl. *Dante agrees mostly for appearance sake. He knows he has only ever had anything for the short girl he’s lived for years. They wait for you on the couch. 2 hours later you come home from work with groceries. His heart flips when he sees you. The girl he wants to keep safe is in this kind of a home? She’s been sold to him? His world spins but he keeps his cold, demanding, brooding mafia mask. “The Reaper”. What happens next?*
