Married To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 6

“Come have your seat,” Zayn said at the sight of Jean walking fast towards the table with a smile that looks extremely fake on her face.

“Thanks,” I replied as I pulled the chair gently and sat down comfortably.

I looked at my dad and it was impossible for my brain to compose the right words to use for him, how could be be this desperate,how could he about his daughter feelings, he looked away when he noticed my eyes staring at him intensely to make him a little bit uncomfortable and I did this on purpose.

“Hope your boys are listening to your orders and ain’t giving you any sort of problems?,” Mr Walter asked Zayn as he broke the silence.

“No, not at all, they listen to orders and carry out their duties perfectly, it’s not easy being the leader like you know well, I have to carry them along and ensure they have perfect skills for every operation that I ask them to carry out.” Zayn replied mr walters befire he took a spoonful in his mouth.

I watched both of them discuss business as I forced myself to eat,not because I was hungry right now but because I need to avoid getting in trouble with my father, if I don’t comply with him and makes sure his deal with Zayn Usman still stands and works out, this only means I must get married to this man, out of my own wish! I must do this to make my father’s plan work out.

Never in my life have I ever dreamt that someday my father would want me married off to a mafia gang leader, never in my life have I thought that it would be a crime for me to get married to someone I actually love, Peter is the man my heart desires, he is the one I love with all of me, he is the one I want to get married to someday in my lifetime, I want to always have his hand to hold and live happily with him, I want to carry Peter child, I want him to be the father of my children, in my sight, no man is as perfect as Peter.

I know how mad Peter would feel when he eventually hears this whole drama that is currently going on, I know he will be so hurt, I already promised to give him my virginity immediately after my birthday, we both made so many sweet promises to each other and now my dad is about ruin to all without a blink.

I really regret being born into this family,I regret it all, look how happy my father seems, look at how he is smiling happily as he speaks to Zayn, he is really happy because lines seem to be falling into places for me, at the cost of his own daughter’s happiness.

“Jean, is something bordering you? You seem too to be carried away and you’re not eating your food,” Zayn said as he looked at Jean intensely.

“I’m —- i’m fine,” I replied as I immediately took a spoonful in my mouth, I lied, I’m not fine, I’m not okay, I’m sad and it feels like I’m gonna die because of you! Because my dad wants me to get married to you at all cost! I don’t even know you or know the kind of man that you are, I’m not familiar with you but my dad wants me to marry you all of a sudden because of some crazy deal. A lot ran through my mind as I munched on the meal before he notices again and asks me a stupid question.

“I would be taking my leave now, the wedding plan should commence, pick a date and let me know over the phone,” Zayn said as he stood up and started heading outside the entrance.

“Alright, I would definitely do that!” Mr Walters replied as he also stood up and walked beside him.

“Take care jean!”’ Zayn said as he turned and waved at me with a smiling face,ignoring the fact that I looked so mad.

They both walked out of the house so I stood up and went to seat in the couch waiting patiently for my father to come home and query me because I tried to run away earlier, I know he was filled with anger but couldn’t really showcase it because of Zayn’s presence, my heart beat increased promptly as I sat in the couch trembling in fear.

“My darling jean! Why did you do that? Do you know you would have put me in so much trouble!” My mom said as she ran down the stairs and walked towards me.

“Mom! I’m sorry I didn’t consider you,I really don’t want to do all this! I don’t want to get married to him, that’s why — I tried to run away,dad only cares about his deal, he doesn’t care about my feelings or my happiness,” jean said as she stood up and hugged her mom tightly.

“It’s fine, don’t say anything! Just stay in my arms!” My mom said as she started sobbing, “I’m sorry for being as helpless as you are and not being able to help you in this situation, I’m really sorry,” my mom said as she sobbed and tapped my back gently.

One of the things I hate so much is seeing my mom crying and being sad especially not because of me,growing up I’ve noticed she is not much of a strong person so I’ve always tried to please her and always do what she wants so she won’t be weary, my mom is like my best friend, we share thoughts together and she is always emotionally available for me.

“It’s fine mom, please stop crying!” I said as I pulled my body away from my mom’s because seeing my mom cry breaks my heart.

“Hey!! Where is she! Where is jean! How dare you try to run away!,” my father said as he walked into the house and screamed on top of his voice.

“We’re here! Please forgive her, she won’t ever try that next time!” My mom said as she pulled me behind her and stood in front of me, she stood like a shield that’s trying to protect me from my own father.

“Who asked you to come down?” My father asked my mom as he voice echoed in the house as he moved towards us.

“I came down myself, I came to check up on my daughter,he has left after all so why can’t I come down to check up on my daughter?” My mother replied as she also raised her voice at him.

“Did you just shout at me?” He asked as he seemed extremely angry standing in front of her and shining his eyes at her.

“No she didn’t, I’m sorry dad, I won’t try to run away anymore and I will marry Zayn!” I said as I pushed my mom away from my dad’s presence to decrease the tension between them, if I leave both of them to continue arguing because of me, my dad might lose it and decide to hit my mom and I don’t want to see that happen that’s why I came into the picture immediately before things goes out of hand.

“Jean! You won’t be able to run away any longer right now because I just doubled the security and they will always be standby in the compound and at the gate, you are not allowed to leave the house for now, even if it’s urgent that you must go, you still need to ask for permission first.” My dad said to me as he reduced his voice and spoke to me in a soft tone to my greatest surprise.

“Okay dad,” I replied as I nodded and tried to smile , I was happy to an extent that my mom didn’t get into trouble with her husband because she was trying to protect me, I love my mom so much, I never want to see her hurting especially not in my presence.

“Alright, I have business to attend to so I’m leaving now, I will be back soon,” my dad said as he turned and walked towards the entrance to take his leave.

“Mom why did you do that, you know how dad’s temper is, you shouldn’t have done that!” I said to my mom as I sat down and pulled her to sit beside me.

“I only wanted to protect you, I summoned courage to do that!” She said as she reached for my hands and pressed them softly against hers looking into my eyes.

“Mom please don’t do that next time, if I didn’t interrupt, the situation might have gotten out of hand.” I said to my mom as I smiled at her.

“I would get married to him, I would do it to make his deal with Zayn still stand, I will do so dad would not make you suffer for my own sins, I would try to accept that this is my life path and I would leave with it, I’ll try!!” I said to my mom as I hugged her, she looked so pale, sad and pained that this situation has gotten to this extent, she managed to hug me back and tapped my back gently.
