Andria's POV
Today's the day. I'm going to get engaged. I never wanted this but I certainly had no choice.
I was dressed and waiting to be called. The door opened and the most unexpected person entered. Karol.
"Hey Andria, you must be thinking you are so lucky; Afterall you'll be marrying a billionaire soon but there's something you don't know"
I didn't know that too; I don't even know how he looks; f*ck I don't even know his name. "Your billionaire isn't just a billionaire, he's a ruthless Mafia King. You are getting married to Alrigo Acerbi the owner of paradise and hell together."
I tried to speak but no words could find a way through my mouth she smiled evilly and continued "It's just a business deal, your father has sold you off to the Mafia family."
And with that, she left and I was left numb. How could he? He's my father. How can a father sell his own daughter to a sheer; cold; heartless Mafia King.
My cheeks were wet and I realized I was crying. I can't; I just can't marry him. He's a nightmare and would only add on to my miseries or.... or maybe he'll give me so much pain that I'll only forget the rest.
"No. No. No Andria you can't let this happen to you. Not now. Not ever. Get up. You have to escape. For your own life. Runaway. Go far from here so far that you don't even hear his name."
My inner voice said. I wiped off my tears. I don't have time to cry; I have to escape; If I don't escape now, I would be nothing but a lifeless body.
I opened my cupboard; changed into something comfortable; searched for my bag and filled all the essentials inside it. Because of hardly spending any money like Ales I had a nice amount saved.
I was so happy by the fact that my room was on the ground floor unlike the rest of my family. I looked out carefully; no one was there.
I covered my face with a scarf and jumped out of the window and ran towards the backdoor through the garden area. Fortunately, no one saw me. I guess God was on my side today.
This was it a permanent goodbye to my problems; memories; family and Alrigo Acerbi.
Alrigo's POV
Today was the engagement. All my important men were present in the hall including my second in command and my 5 most trusted men. My capos. Even Mark had his guests.
Madre couldn't make it today but she said she'll come to the wedding which is after 2 weeks. The security level was so high that not even a fly could come inside without being checked.
No media was called as I wanted the event to be confidential.
It was the most expensive hall but free for us because it was owned by Mark. But my temper was rising as the Twirling's still hadn't shown up.
"Where the f*ck are they? Going to come or should I leave." I growled at Hunter who was standing beside me. "I'll just check Re." I nodded.
A few moments later a very tense and angry Archer faced me; somethings wrong and then what he said meant everything was wrong. "She ran away". "Find her. You have one hour" that was all I said. In a second all six of them along with a few soldiers rushed out.
How could she do this? Does she think she's smart enough to escape Alrigo Acerbi? She'll have to pay a huge amount for it; earlier I thought I'll treat her like a non-existing part of the house but now it's not going to be easy at all.
She tried to escape me right......now I'll show her how unlucky she is not to be able to. I'll prove to be her worst nightmare. I'll t*****e her beyond her imagination and make her realize what she has done.
She's only mine and what's mine stays with me until I throw it. I'll show her what hell is. Come soon Mia Cara. I'm waiting.
Andria's POV
I was tired of this escaping. Till now everyone must have found out that I ran away. I just hope they don't try to find me and just forget about me but I had a feeling that Alrigo is going to take this as an insult but I don't think he would be able to reach me.
At least I wish so. I had lost my phone I don't even remember where I dropped it. But I remembered a few important phone numbers. All of this will end soon.
I have decided; I'll go to Chicago to grandma. I was thirsty from all this running and saw a small shop on the roadside.
I went to fetch a water bottle. As I was paying, I felt something at the back of my head and the shopkeeper’s eyes were wide in fear.
Nooooooooo. I slowly turned around and saw a group of men and one of them holding his g*n out on me. " Hey Bella, time to go back to your lord." I'm dead.
