Thea

The Deal

Thea's POV

This can't be happening

I marched off of the stage and walked over to my family.

"So was this my grand birthday surprise?" I asked with my voice a little shaky. I didn't want to cry but I was fucking pissed. "I swear Father If I don't get some explanation soon I'm literally going to scream bloody murder, and go on a kill spree or something." I said with a couple tears trickling down my cheek. My fists were clenched and my knuckles were turning white from how hard I was clenching them.

They all looked up at me with scared looks after my last statement. My mother came over with a tissue and wiped my tears off and kissed my cheek.

"Okay let's get out of here" My father says to me and the rest of the family. My mother stays back to continue on hosting the party while the rest of us go on the upper level of the mansion and go up to the meeting room.

As we are walking to the destination my nerves are calming.

Just as the nerves were about to go away I suddenly heard deep laughter and talking coming from the office.

The only people that are allowed in this office are the people that are standing next to me. Who's in there?

Once again the situation seemed to calm for my liking.

They all were following my father, so instead of having another psycho outburst I just went with it.

My father opened the door, but I was in the very back and Hunter's big ass head was blocking my view.

Finally everyone cleared and I saw them

The infamous Angels stare directly  at me.

There are bodyguards all around, but the main family is sitting in the middle.

To my right I see Matthew Angel. The leader of the Angels and the father of Ezra. They look identical but Matthew looks a little older. I would be lying if I said that Matthew wasn't a little bit intimidating. He just has this way to him that makes you almost shiver.

Then to my left I'm met with the same Hazel eyes. He still has that mischievous smile on him. He knows what he does to me and that smile isn't making it any better. He's sipping on a glass of bourbon while talking to his friend who I can't see due to his disguise. He has sunglasses and an all black hoodie on which makes him unrecognizable. I let that go and thought that he probably didn't mean anything.

I finally break the silence and skeptical stares, "Alright does someone wanna tell me what the hell is going on here. Because I've had one heck of a 20th birthday . I swear if I have to ask what's going on one more time I'm actually going to lose it, and the last time I did that people lost their heads, so can someone please start talking." I looked around the room and all I saw was the Angel bodyguards staring at me which made me assume they didn't hear a word I said.

I pulled out the knife that was under the slip of my dress. I threw it at one of the Angel men and it skipped right past him and hit the wall.

"Can you ask your men to stop fantasizing about me and close their damn mouths before I actually aim the knife at them" I said while keeping contact with Ezra the whole time.

My father came up from behind me and tried to relax me for a little. "Thea, as you know there are currently a lot of men that are out to get you. They are not out for love, they are looking to take your power and title. We have been noticing that the threats of people trying to get to you have increased and it's becoming more dangerous for you to even show your face every day."

My father says.

I didn't know that this was that serious. I didn't know my family was receiving threats.

"A couple months ago we got an anonymous letter about how someone was planning on kidnapping you if you weren't married soon" my father sighs. "The only person I knew that could relate to the difficulties of the operation is Matthew. He formed a deal that could help both of us, and create an alliance that was long overdue" My father says.

I knew where this was heading.

"The deal is that you and Ezra will be getting married, so that maybe the threats will go down on people trying to hurt and steal you. With the double support of the Angel's, people wouldn't dare make a threat any longer" My father says. "I'm still confused, what do the Angel's gain?" I ask. "They will gain the protection and respect of the Valerio family." My father says,

Matthew speaks up " We are also losing the constant question on whether or not my son over there is ever going to get married, people from all over are trying to get my son to marry their daughter". "It's pretty disgusting," Ezra speaks up.

"Ok so what does that mean for me." I ask.

"We will take things to the next step if you agree." Ezra says.

" I don't get any time or anything?" I ask. "No you don't." Ezra says sternly.

"So what's your decision Thea" My father asks.

I strut over to the table that Ezra is sitting at and gulp down the rest of his bourbon. I forgot how much I hated that shit. I sucked it up and threw it down.

"I accept."
