The Mafia boss paced back and forth in his office, his anger building with each step "where is my money?" He growled his voice low and dangerous "I was supposed to have it by now".
"I'm sorry boss, the henchmen said his voice trembling. "I don't have it please "
But the Mafia boss was not mollified, he reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a gun, pointing it at the henchmen's head. "I don't have time for your excuse " he snarled "you either get my money or you're going to end up at the bottom of the river". The henchmen's face turned pale and he began to sweat.
"Please boss give me more time ", he pleaded. But the Mafia boss was unmoved. "You've enough time, he said "now it's time for you to pay the price for your failure" The henchmen's eye widened in terror.
Just as the Mafia boss was about to pull the trigger, there was a knock at the door, "come in" the Mafia boss said, his voice still icy with rage.
The door opened and his assistant walked in, the crime boss stood over the man who owed him money, his gun drawn ready to fire, "what?" He barked
"I'm sorry to interrupt sir, said his assistant but I have some urgent news for you.
The Mafia boss rolled his eyes, "this had better be good, he said
"I know sir but I really think you should hear this, said the assistant
The Mafia boss sight and lowered his gun, "what is it? He asked
"Edward has made an offer ", said the assistant. The Mafia boss raised an eyebrow "he's willing to settle his debt with a marriage contract between you and his daughter ".
