I was barely 13 when my parents were murdered right in front of me. Their blood decoratedthe pastel ball gown I wore. I didn’t have enough time to mourn their death because I wastaken to the orphanage immediately. The orphanage didn't care for us, they used us. Weturned to drug traffickers, domestic workers and for some of the older ones sex workers even.I met Allison at the orphanage too, her parents died the very same night mine did and webonded over that.Looking at the things they used us for got me pissed, the orphanage was owned by theDontatello family, they were the mafias themselves but I beg to differ. I decided to create myown path with Allison by my side.Over the next couple of years we had gathered enough children, information and skills torebel. So we broke free from them and we became our own people. I had no intention to be aDon or own a mafia but I became one anyways. Everyone lived their lives but everyone knewthey owed me a favor.Favours always brought about deals and a favour brought Xander Donatello to my doorstep.He needed a wife for a couple of years to secure his position as the King of the Mafia worldand I needed my revenge for my parents death. I agreed without haste and I knew all myfavours would come in handy.We signed the contract and announced our wedding. Everything was going as planned.Allison was still by my side and she never left. Mr. Donatello welcomed me with a smile buthis handshake with me signed a war.It started with two drug shipments being blown up, their database being hacked and sendinghis dearest little sister to jail.Everything was falling in place until I started falling for him. Xander was charming, slowlyhe became everything I talked about. Guilt started eating me slowly when he talked about thethings happening to him and that's when he said it. He wanted me to rule, I should spend therest of my life with him instead. I wanted to object but I realized I was pregnant with hischild. His best friend Luca was a darling and helped hide my pregnancy for the longest untilmy plans started backfiring slowly. I told Allison about everything and she started doing herresearch, Luca also helped where he could.I received a call that Xander had been kidnapped and taken to a different city. Allison tried toremind me why I got married in the first place but I was already head over heels for this man.So I travelled that same day all three of us but on reaching the warehouse where he wasAllison started laughing.She confessed that she had been behind my backfiring plans all along and she doesn’t feelsorry about it. She wanted me for herself, she loved me and I was too blind to see it so I fellfor him. And she wasn’t going to allow it. She exposed me and everything I did to Xavier asfar as telling him I was pregnant for his child.Everything crumbled right before me but I always have a favor. Everything she said wasrecorded and altered to make it sound like she did it. Apparently along the lines of all this mybrother and I were separated after the mass death so he grew to become an officer and I foundhim somehow on a certain day and now he’s taking my best friend to jail.Xander found everything I did valid because of what his family did to him and he promisedI’ll forever be his queen.That's how I Scarlet Morreno became a queen in a palace I didn’t own.
