A Princess Perspective

Everyone in Italy saw me as a Princess... I was raised to look fear in the eye, and head towards it straight on as I balanced a book upon my head, and held a teacup in my hand. I was supposed to be a lady, a princess, and the daughter of the most powerful man in Italy. As the Don's daughter I was supposed to look and act the part of a perfect family, a perfect flawless woman with no fears. I filled my shoes well until that night, a night that would change my world forever.
I was trapped.... Betrothed at birth the first born son of the Svetlana's. A powerful Russian family, so that we could keep the peace. My parents have decided that it is time, and I am not ready. I don't know Boris Svetlana, nor do I care to. As I try to navigate around my parents, parts of my world implode, not to mention my newly found feelings for a man I tried not to notice... If you haven't guessed things get messy, and not in a good way.
