DUSK TILL DAWN

Scarlett sat as she quietely watched her father respond to the caller on the other end of the line. The urgency in his aged ruff voice showed it's importance. "Is it done,Michael?" He asked grumpily with a grown filled on his face. "My apologies Sir Ravenscliffe" he responded in a low failed tone. Scarlett saw the name Michael on the dial pad as her father attempted to switch off the phone.The name did sound familiar although she couldn't remember having seen him anywhere in the whole lot cluster of henchmen her father owned. "Who was that you were talking to just now Father? You called him Michael if I am not mistaken" she asked as she raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Since you are getting married soon enough,I figured I would get us a new consigliere." Old Ravenscliffe responded meaningfully. "Marriage! way to go, FATHER. I already told you before I am not getting married to that Elmsworth fool"Scarlett let out an outburst. "Manners dear you can't go around calling your future husband foolish. I too know his foolish but he is the only one who can meet your standards and take care of you." Old Ravensfield replied looking all sorrowful but Scarlett knew better than trust this bipolar man of a father . "Okay now don't make that stupid,sad face .You want to make a beautiful bride. Don't you,my little Dawn." he said as he patted the space next to him and opened his other arm wide to envelope his daughter in a fatherly embrace. Scarlett,continued to sillyly pout her lips and put her arms over her chest. Who was she kidding anyways, amidst her childish tantrums she couldn't let her old man sombre so she just decided to go into his embrace. "That's it, good girl. My little, brave Heiresss. " he praised her and patted her head softly. 'Thane you rascal, you finally had the guts' Scarlett thought to herself angrily. A dark grey cloud loomed over him. He needed to get her daughter under someone's protection before it was too late . The Smirkinoff gang would attack him anytime soon and he had to make sure to get a stronger family to marry her daughter into to shield her. By the looks of it they appeared to be the strongest mafia gang so he decided to marry her off to rather an imperial and noble family. He knew it was risky marrying a mafia Heiress into nobility but it was worth a shot .He just hoped that the Elmsworth Family could keep their end of the deal.
