Jax was nineteen years old when he met his second best friend. Marco Mariarti had been a godsend when Jax was at his worst. When Tara left Jax, he was on a road to self destruction, all he did was drink until he passed out and fucked random women. All the women's faces started to blur together. Jax didn't know which way was up sometimes but he managed to get through his days. On Jax's 19th birthday he was arrested in Reno for drunken disorderly. Walking into the holding cell Jax kept thinking to himself that it was time to finally let Tara go, she was causing him to lose his mind and she was out living her life while his was on hold.

Marco saw Jax when he walked into the cell. Jax had that same look in his eyes he had when he lost the love of his life. It was a pain there, a betrayal. Marco was 19 years old himself and working for his maternal grandfather Jimmy Cacuzza, an italian mob boss, to get the training he needed to one day be the boss of his family's business. The Mariarti-Cacuzza mob family. Marco's mom married the underboss of the Mariarti family and gave birth to two boys and a girl.

Marco loved his family to death, they had their hands in all kinds of pies and no one could touch them. You're probably wondering how Marco ended up in a holding cell in Reno then right? Thats easy, because he was fighting some man that was being disrespectful to his big sister in front of the police and they didn't know who he was.

Mia Mariarti was a twenty year old genius. From the day she was born her parents knew she was something super special. Mia flew through anything thrown at her, she soared through school, skipping middle school entirely and a fraction of high school. Mia attended college at fifteen years old, majoring in law and minoring in business. Now Mia was an entrepreneur of her own company that dabbled in everything from an airline to a law office. Mariarti by Mia was founded in Italy when Mia wrote a business plan at age 17 in college. MIa was now a multi billionaire and still climbing her way up.

Marco was kind of sad for his sister, he never saw her have fun, all she did was study and work. He never saw his sister go out and have fun, not after they moved to Miami, when their parents had moved there to expand their family business. As soon as Marco was released he was going to finish his training and he was headed back home.

"Whats up man?" Marco said to Jax.

Jax was lost in his thoughts when he heard the man speaking to him.

"Whats up." Jax said.

"How long has it been since she's been gone?" Marco asked.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Only because I've been there man."

"I decided it's time i let it go man, she made her decision."

Marco only nodded his head, he knew all too well how that felt.

"Mariarti, you got a visitor." The guard stated.

"I'll be back man." Marco told Jax

Marco followed the guard out of the cell. Walking into another room, Marco saw his sister and smiled at her. She was dressed in a royal blue pant suit with a white ruffle blouse and a pair of nude louboutins. She was all business ready to defend her brother. Her grey eyes shining at his grey eyes.

"Hey sister, your lawyer is showing." Marco chuckled to his sister, who was in full lawyer mode.

"Hey fratellino." Mia said to her brother. "Are you ready to get out of here?"

Shaking his head Marco told his sister he wanted to sit this one out.

"I'm working on something." Marco shared to Mia.

Mia knew her brother, when he set his mind to something, no one could talk him out of it, he was so much like their mother. Standing from her seat, Mia hugged her brother and kissed his cheeks. She trusted he knew what he was doing.

Marco returned back to the cell and strolled back over to Jax.

"Tell me about yourself." Marco told Jax.

"Im Marco by the way."

"Jax"

After that introduction, the rest they say is history. Jax told Marco everything he could think of, from him brother's death up to the point of him getting arrested. Marco told Jax a little about himself, all except he was apart of a crime family. They went to court the following day and they were sentenced to 45 days in the county jail.

Marco and Jax became best friends and when they were released, Marco wanted Jax to come with him back home, only thing was Marco had to finish training. They promised to meet up in three months tops at a bar in Reno and see what would happen from there.

When they walked out of the jail gates was the moment Jax really fell in love. He knew she was a powerful women because of how she carried herself. Standing before him in a pair of black skinny jeans, a loose white silk tank top and a black waterfall jacket and a pair or black suede booties, was a woman with jet black hair in loose curls and bright red lips with a pair of grey eyes that stared right into his baby blue ones. Jax almost stumbled on his own two feet.

"Damn darling" Jax whispered to himself or so he thought.

"You like what you see Jax?" Marco asked with a smirk on his face. Marco saw the way Jax looked at Mia and vice versa. He just had a feeling they were the perfect fit and they could be each other's happiness,

"You have no idea brother." Jax stated. "Who is that?"

"That my friend, is my sister Mia."

At that Jax looked at Mia again, his heart started skipping a beat the closer they got to her. Jax put on his pany dropping smirk and said

"Hey there darling, Im Jax."

"Pleasure, Mia." Mia responded.
