The Devil's Curse
The De Luca's was the most powerful business companies , but over the past few years lost their sparks due to the passing of Maria and Liam De Luca, the loving parents of Sierra and Giovanni.
SIERRA
One sunny Sunday I heard muffled voices downstairs I listened through the slightly ajar door, what he h**l was happening down there? "What?! you want my sister's hand in marriage?!are you f*cking kidding me right now?!" I heard my brothers muffled frustrated voice, I knew something was up.. suddenly I heard a eerie dark chuckle that almost made my knees shudder followed with a heart dropping "Yes.." I quickly headed downstairs and stopped in my tracks when I saw who it was..
Alessio?
"Good morning brother.." I hurried beside my brother "and who's this?" I asked , leaving my question hanged in thin air.. "I'm Alessio Moretti at your service, Princess" my rivals voice came.. ugh...I hated that voice. "I was actually asking my brother..but I like the confidence." I flashed a forced yet genuine smile, gosh.. what a great way to start my day!.. Alessio's chuckling voice snapped me back to reality "I missed that voice princess, sassy as ever." Alessio continued to chuckle.
I looked back at my brother and noticed that he was now glaring at Alessio like he was planning something bad or something?...but I didn't liked it..
"Well? Aren't you going to tell her about our agreement Gio?"
"Tell me what?" I faced my brother
Giovanni took a shuddering deep breath before speaking
"oh sugar.." I knew that nickname...it was something he usually calls me when he agreed to something I won't like... "Well?" Alessio smirked right around the corner.
"W-well... unfortunately..." He took another deep breath again
"for f*cks sake Gio. I'll tell her" Alessio's annoyed voice came again
"he married you off to me yesterday. in exchange for me..to help Giovanni's company financially" I froze and turned to my brother
"You...f*cking...what?!" I shouted
"Sugar.... please..I'm sorry...I was temp—
"Don't! don't f*cking sugar me!...I didn't knew you sold people Giovan."
"Oh and for f*cks sake...you'd rather marry me off to this s**t with my f****g consent?! did you even consider?!" I was almost shivering.. not from the cold night air..but from burning anger , I could almost felt like my entire head was going to snap in half if I continue...I ran a hand through my hair..messing it up more.. "You know what? fine. s**ks to be your f*ckng sister."
ALESSIO
God.. she's even prettier..no..gorgeous...I muttered to myself shocking myself at my comment, no woman has ever made my heart flutter...well.. frustrated.rather.. I watched her storm out and followed behind her , she stopped in her tracks.."Wait..is she..f*cking crying?!" I thought to myself "Hey.." I slowly walked closer
"I'm not bad, princess"
"Stop— stop it.." Her tone was cold but I don't f*ckig know why my stoned heart suddenly liked that tone.. without thinking I stepped closer and wrapped my sleek black overcoat made from velvet-like fabric, featuring a bold, wide fur collar."I'm not as bad as you thought Sierra." she turned and faced me, I could see her puffy face..it's confirmed..she was f*cking crying over some s**t..do I really look that intimidating ?.. I ended up chuckling
"what's so funny?."
"Nothing princess.. you look adorable when you cry, you should cry more often" my words came out wrong but she ended up chuckling..damn..she's really cute when she laughs.
"f*ck off Alessio." she pushed me slightly
"call me Leo, princess"
"Leo?" Her voice was high pitched when she called me by my name..oh God forbids what other sweet words that mouth of hers would do... I smirked to myself
"You really should stop smirking..it's weird, no offense " nevermind. I take it back.."None taken.." my lips twitched not with amusement of course. who would be amused by that?...
"I'll pick you up later. The papers have been signed so..your kinda mine now.." I spoke before turning around and headed back inside my car and rode off "Mine?" damn it... I can't handle this.. ,I sighed heavily.
SIERRA
"Mine? what's that supposed to mean?.." I muttered to myself even though I despised him..I don't know what this pain in my chest felt like..it was comforting but at the same time it was also friend with the butterflies in my stomach and if I told you I didn't like it.. I. DID. NOT. this is so f*ckig wrong, snap out of it Sierra what would your boyfriend think if you keep thinking about Leo.. by not gonna lie..He's handsome..no!..no! stop it...ugh f*cking stop it Sierra.
I headed back upstairs and grab my phone, completely ignoring Giovanni by these times... when I reached my room I quickly called my boyfriend..
"Hello? what's up Sierra?" he's comforting voice came through the line, it made me relax...I mean..RELAXED..
"D.. your not going to believe what Giovan did again.."
"What? did he order a lot of eggs again?"
ah– eggs?
"Well..he's not that stupid D. But he did something much..much. worst.."
"What.?"
I took a shuddering deep breath and continue..
"He married me off.."
"He..what." his voice was stern, cold, and I know what this was.. he's totally pissed off.. "With whom?" he continued
"Alessio Moretti.."
"Al–ALESSIO?! out of all people?!.. aren't you guys like...Enemies or something?"
"Yeah...but he insisted.."
"I'll be there princess...when I'm done. wait for me.." his voice was relaxing though..the way he said princess..my heart hadn't flatter once..Did f*ckng Leo sprinkle something on me?...or what?... "Alright baby...I'll wait..don't take too long" I hanged up and decided to play it off for the whole day.
