Chapter 1
Alyssia's pov
"Let go ! Let go ! I said let go! " I screamed and struggled in fright as the two hefty men lifted me. "Mom do something! Dad! Please don't let them take me away," I cried further as my parents just stood watching me with expressionless faces.
No, this couldn't be happening. My parents couldn't just stand and watch these men take me away without doing anything. I kept wriggling and screaming in tears and fright as they kept dragging me away. I made my screams the louder to jerk my parents out of whatever they were thinking, but yet again my doubts were confirmed. They didn't make any move. Yes, they didn't fight to get me back or try to stop these men from taking me, they just stood there watching them take me away.
"Nice doing business with you, Mr. Lorenzo," I heard the deadly looking man who had been standing quiet all these while say as he turned to leave with the men carrying me away.
This couldn't be happening. He just said business? It couldn't be what I was thinking was it? No.
"No!! Dad!! Mom! No! Please!! " I cried further as the door was shut on us.
"Nooo!!" I screamed and jerked awake. Sweating profusely, I sighed out on relief when I realized that it was a nightmare. The same old nightmare I've been having for some time now. Tears slipped down my cheek as I sat up on the bed. I wiped my tears and turned to get down the bed to get some water.
I shrieked in fear when I felt a warm hand grip my sweaty palm.
"Where are you going?" Came his masculine voice. I thought he was asleep, when and how did he wake up?
"I just wanted to get some water to drink" I answered with obvious fear in my voice.
"Here ....take water," He said as he handed me a glass of water, which I reluctantly took and drank.
"You're all sweaty, what's bothering you? " He asked as he touched my sweaty forehead making me shiver.
"No.... nothing's bothering me." I answered shakily.
"Alright then, get back to sleep. It's late. You should get some sleep for tomorrow." He said and lay on his side backing me.
"Tomorrow". The word rang a bell in my mind making my heart skip a few beats.
Once again I began sweating all over. Tomorrow was going to change my life. I am going to take a bold yet difficult step tomorrow, one that was going to change me, for better or for worse.
I turned and looked at the figure lying beside me and sighed out. Tomorrow I was going to make a choice, one that would give me freedom, the freedom I've always wanted.
I sighed and lay back on the bed." Till tomorrow" I thought and drifted off to sleep.

" I ...... Alyssia Lorenzo take you Donovan as my lawfully wedded husband for better or for worse, in sickness and health......." I said my vows from the piece of paper in my hand. After which I exchanged rings with my groom.
"You are now proclaimed husband and wife......you may now kiss your bride," The priest said, and I looked up to my groom. He had a cold look on his face, as if he was been forced. I could hear the sound of my heart hammering loudly in my chest as he stretched his hand and unveiled my face. His lips formed into a smirk which I couldn't make any meaning out of. He wasn't going to kiss me, was he? I wondered as Donovan kept leaning closer to me. He held my chin on his palm and leaned closer for a kiss. I really didn't expect him to kiss me and was very shocked to the bones when I felt his warm lips cover mine. I was so shocked. She had to place her hand on his chest to maintain her balance. I tried opening my mouth to protest but Donovan took it as an opportunity to gain proper access to my mouth. When I couldn't take it any longer, I bit him hard on his lip making him pull out from the kiss. Donovan wiped his lips and smiled at me making me lower my head nervously.
"You are now pronounced husband and wife". The priest said earning an ovation from the few people present. We both turned and smiled at the congregation as we walked down the aisle.

I sat quietly in deep thoughts as the car drove into the big mansion. I kept praying silently as I thought of what was going to happen next. I raised my left hand to move a strand of my hair backward and just as I brought it down, the diamond ring sitting gracefully on my ring finger sparkled, reminding me that I was now a married woman. Married to not just anyone but to one of the most ruthless mafia bosses in the country.
That alone, sent terrifying shivers down my spine, sending me into deep thoughts.
"Ma'am, we're here," The driver announced, jerking me out of my thoughts. With that I looked up to see the magnificent building before me. I noticed I really didn't give attention to admiring the surroundings while we drove in, but now I just had to keep looking at the magnificent mansion right in front of her.
I knew for a fact that Donovan was rich .......but this beat my imagination. The driver led the way into the house.
"Where's the Donovan? The boss?" I asked when I couldn't see any sign of him.
"Oh.....the boss asked me to drop you home, he had some errands to run and may not be back on time " The driver explained
"Oh......no problem then"
"Let me take you to your room," He said and led the way upstairs.

Donovan's pov
Away from there...
I paced around the room slowly and quietly. I really couldn't believe I was now a married man. While pacing around the room, the vibration of my ringing phone disrupted my thoughts. I peeked at it and saw it was Grey.... My right-hand man.
"Boss we arrived safely, she's in her room," He said
"Alright, that's good," I replied and hung up the call.
