Chapter 1
POV: Wednesday's
my heart raced as I walked down the stairs, leading to my fathers office, my footsteps were heavy and loud to let him know is was coming his way.
I placed my hand on the door knob and turned it slowly, hesitant to walk in. But I did so anyways.
I sat there confidently infront of my farther not wanting him to see my fear. " yes dad " I questioned, staying infront of him wooden desk that had filled 1/3 of the room it had paper on it everywhere. the room was dim and his curtains were opened , letting the sun light through.
the intimidation was sleeping out of him, yet him back was to me as he spoke.
"You are my youngest child " he declared with caring but demanding tone. "Your going to marry Apollo Ricci " My father turned to see my reaction. my heart beat froze from just hearing the name Apollo Ricci as in the Apollo Ricci." they own the biggest mafia father " I responded with fear in my voice. I didn't want to marry someone because of their power, i wanted to marry someone who will respect me and care for me.
"Exactly, you will meet him in a week, you will make an good impression, do you understand me?" my father spoke
"yes father" I started attempting to hide my anger and frustration." GET OUT NOW" he yelled and turning his chair away from me. A tear rolled down my cheek as I shut the door quietly
I strutted down the hallway, felling stunned about what he just said to me.
I headed straight for my room, shutting the door behind me. I lay on my bed feeling overwhelmed by hopelessness and shock. I had mixed emotions; I didn't know this man. Apollo could be abusive, aggressive, violent, loud. Not to mention Apollo does not have the best reputation in the Mafia. I could be stuck with a man who is exactly like my father.
