Meeting Her Grandmother

I parked the car in front of Marina's house, taking a moment to appreciate the luxurious setting. The house was nestled in a good location, a testament to the hard work Marina and her grandmother had put into their store.

Marina had told me they bought the house in installments, but now Tony owned the contract, leaving them in a precarious situation. I realized Tony was truly a piece of shit, manipulating Marina into a corner where she had no choice but to become his wife or plaything.

I stepped out of the car and took Marina's hand, leading her into the house. The neighborhood was quiet, and I didn't notice any of Tony's men lurking around. It seemed Tony had assigned only those four men to monitor Marina, the same ones I had dealt with at the store.
