Prologue

Some, if not most, people have parents that have a pre-mapped plan of their future. Who you must be, what you must do, who you should fall in love with and such. There was no exception for John Watson, the only difference being that his parents had a wife planned out. You see, John Watson was the only son of James Watson, the famous British Mafia mob boss. Yes, the British Mafia may sound misplaced, but in truth, there were four of them. There was the Watson family, the Morstan family, the Adler family, and finally, the notorious Holmes family. The Holmes were considered 'the genius minds of Britain', running their operations mostly underground and through what the youngest referred to as a 'homeless network'. Nearly all of the other families hated them, excluding the Adlers, whose daughter held prestigious favor for the youngest of their family; Sherlock.

The Watsons and Morstans were in alliance thanks to their similarities. The Morstans were a highly trained family of assassins, while the Watsons specialized more with battle formations and well organized associations. The Watsons were the calmer, more business side, making their alliance perfect in compatibility. Both were also known to converse with the Adlers make no mistake, but there was hesitance in that because of the Holmes situation, also because the Adler family was known to pull sexual stunts to raise their standing in power. Irene, the third generation daughter, had even had sexual occasion with the royal family for use of blackmail.

Needless to say, life was complicated. But, that can happen when you're born into a Mafia family, especially when you're hiding a secret. Such as your sexual preference.
