Lucia Valdez knew she was hated by her family, which is why she was given away as a peace offering. Boone Grinder was not a nice man, and he had been making waves for the Bonaldi mafia for quite some time. No one knew who this man was, what he did, or why he did it. All they knew, was he was responsible for making the streets run red. Boone Grinder wasn't your ordinary villain. He didn't deal in illegal business, and the truth was, he wanted to be left alone. Only, they wouldn't leave him alone. He saw the injustice that was happening to small businesses at the hands of the Bonaldi mafia, and he couldn't stand by and allow it to continue. Taking Lucia as his wife was the first step in their downfall. They believed they had insulted him. In fact, they had given him the woman he wanted. Before things get too far, he gives her a choice-him or her father. It's a wife's duty to stay by her husband's side. Boone has done nothing but show Lucia kindness, and given her a life she never thought possible. She will always pick him, and as for her family ... it was their choice to let her go.
