The Bride

Sink or Swim

  It felt like a blood bath for her. She knew there is no way back from now on. She gave up on the tought of trying to escape now that she knows how dangerous these people really are. She was wondering how she is she going to adapt this life style or how she can possibly commit suicide painlessly. Amazingly not a single tear could come out of her eyes and what she was feeling inside was inexpressible. She spent the next few minutes inside the bathroom. She has been trying to figure out why things have been that way. Her hands were shaking. she was freezing. Never in a million years she thought she would ever be where she is right now. 

After a while Abraham came in and sat on the floor next to her. She couldn't say a word. He knew she was Scared to death and she is trying to hide that. He grabbed her bloody hands and hold it. It seemed like he was wiping the blood away from her hands. He was sad that she was feeling terrible about everything. She calmly asked Why? He answered her question with question Why what? Sophia was so mad and she smiled madly and said Why did you marry me? He dropped her hands and said the same reason why you married me. She said Abraham I married you because I wanted to have a happy family. He looks her in the eye and say We will have a happy family for sure honey, the only thing we lack is kids to reach there. Sophia couldn't say a word she couldn't believe her ears as he was talking about having children and asked "how?" barely able to speak. He answered " right after we leave this hellhole" then he kissed her right in the forehead and said It's okay girl. I promise you that we will make it as long as you manage to shut your mouth and act accordingly to my family. She cried like a baby as he left the bathroom knowing nothing is ever going to be alright.

Sophia is a beautiful 23 years old, tall, fashion designer graduate woman. She has a beautiful light brown color with a sparkling white beautiful teeth which makes her the shining star when ever she laugh or smile. She lives in Ohio and she originated from  South Africa. If it wasn't for her father and her age she would happily delay her weeding and enjoy the single independent life. She has a hidden talent of singing when nobody is around. But most of all as a woman she liked the idea of getting married and have kids before it's too late. Her father Bruce Geller managed to play a huge role for her to want to create her own family first. In Bruce's defense nothing is more incredible and satisfying than watching his only daughter he raised alone get to the point where he don't have to worry about her future anymore. 

She never imagined she will join a mafia family through an arranged marriage. She have friends and cousins who have got into an arranged marriage and create a simple beautiful family and of course a normal life. Her desire for a luxurious life style made her father and his relatives to dig for the available richest dude on earth. Little did she know as the normal life consequences broke life, the luxurious one gonna cost her, her peace. 

Rodriguez was the head of the family. He is the protector, planner and money maker of the family Sophia joined. But everything his family own right now would be a dream and impossible with out his wife Estella next to him. The most beautiful thing about their marriage is Rodriguez acknowledges and respects his wife no matter how he was raised inside the biggest mafia family in Spain. Rodriguez and Estella started to expect their first born Ivor only 3 months after they got married. After Ivor was born they spent tough 4 years and finally moved to Ohio. After settling at Ohio they decided to give birth and bring Zachariah to the earth. Since they are in relatively much safer place Estella give birth to Abraham only a year and after Zachariah was born. After Abraham they both agreed they have enough babies and Lived another 7 years without unexpected pregnancy. Then it occurred again this time it was unexpected and they welcomed their first ever daughter Sarah. 

Sophia got in to the bath tub right after removing her cloths. For a minute her brain literally stopped processing and she looks like dead woman inside of the bath tub. She started remembering how happy she was the first time she meets her husband Abraham and his family. They look so innocent and loving family. Especially Abraham's mother Estela. She never imagined that Estela could possibly kill a fly let alone a human being. 

All of the family member is being haunted by so many groups. Now that she is a family member she is also wanted by those groups. There is always voices of guns. Their palace is 24/7 super protected by bunch of people so the gun voices are usually not from any outsider. But no matter what living where she have to hear those voice 24/7 will definitely make that beautiful palace a Hell.

 They all were in a party at a biggest hotel in Ohio . Bruce and his brother was so nervous waiting for the rich family to come. Sophia seems like she don't care. For real she wasn't even bothered until the handsome tallest man enters the hotel leading the entire family. She was frozen she couldn't say a word. she was just annoyed she didn't wear her best looks. Her uncle John whispered how the hell are we going to afford hotel drinks and foods for this whole people? Bruce was so nervous for his child as she was about to join new family and live far away from him. He should have had fear for her so much more because there is no life for her anymore  the minute after she entered the huge beautiful campus of the palace. It was right after she stepped inside of the house Abraham's mother Estela command her calmly to shut any social media she is using and cut of any of her friends other than her family. It was then she knew she is in trouble. She was so mad with the rules because she planned to post pictures of her and her husband's small ceremony. But nothing was ever as she expected it to be. She smiled as she wondered how no one could possibly tell hell could be covered by heavenly looking house. 

She get out of the freezing bath tub filled water and stood in front of the long mirror inside the bathroom. Saw her beautiful naked body, her beautiful white round shaped face, her long beautiful silky dark black hair and hated everything about her. She kept starring at the mirror until their cleaner Atif opened the door and slammed it right back apologizing repeatedly. She then picked one of the dryer sheets and move to her room.
