Guns and Roses

Ch 39

Laughter filled the room. I was having the time of my life. Alex was currently standing on the table, singing drunk in love by Beyoncé, Erica was sitting in the corner crying with sienna comforting her, both of them being the only 2 sober people. Me and Olivia we're currently taking shots and eating the various alcohol filled cakes.

Today was the first time I've ever seen Tyler drunk. He was stumbling around, doing karaoke with Alex.

"We have games to playyyy, come on guysss." Olivia slurred.

I stumbled over to the table with multiple drinking and board games.

We were only an hour into the night.

Lucas POV

"Father, why do you have to be so rude to her? You were the one pushing this for some odd reason, now you wanna be an ass to her."

"If it weren't for her parents, I would be the nicest man. It's about time i tell you something, the real reason Astrid is here." My father said, walking slowly with a glass of rum in his hand.

"I thought she was here for protection?"

"That's the ha,f truth. Her parents wanted to hide things from her, their true buisiness. To shorten this up a bit, they do human trafficking. I know it sound extremely bad, but-."

"What the hell! She's gonna think I'm at fault for this now, why the fuck are they hiding this from her."

"Apparently, because they knew she wouldn't accept it and go to the police, something with her morals."

"Well, why the hell are the Russians after us and her?"

"Her parents stole. Money and people from them, and they know we associate with them, so they're after us."

"Why the hell did you accept the deal? You know we don't do human trafficking. It's cruel."

"Money is money, and you'll soon learn that my son. I'm done guiding you, if you know what's good for you, you'll make the right decisions. if you don't, you know you'll have a bullet in your head." My father said, pointing his finger harshly in between my eyes.

I don't care what he says, what astrids parents were doing is wrong. Astrid was just a girl still in school, and they sent her off with noen, and lied to her.

I felt horrible, I cant back out.  I know I would have the same fate as my mother did so long ago if I tried that.

Death.

I stormed out of my fathers office while he laughed like an evil man.

Who am I kidding, he laughed like the evil man he already was.

Tomorrow is the wedding, and I'm partially happy, but wishing this could've happened in other circumstances.

A part of me wished I never kidnapped her, I could've let her make the decision of love on her own, but I didn't, and now she's in 6 ft deeper than she already was. I could've compromised with my father, I could've been with someone else, but I was selfish and did it my own way.

Her parents are such cruel people. how could you sit there and tell your daughter to stay home at night, tell her to be afraid of the exact people that they are.

It was sick.

I have to tell her, but I don't know how.

How could I tell the girl I love that her parents lied to her.

That her life is a lie

That her parents are cruel people.

I walked up to the last floor to see my brothers and some of my distant cousins waiting on me for my bachelor party.
