Heart of stone

(Hay guys! This book is a bit like ace but with mainy my own ideas :) I am in no way 'stealing' or trying to. How you say the main characters names is
(Hay-den) and (ever-Lin) hope you enjoy!)

Haydens pov: ( 2017)

"Mr leone ?" i was bored of this shit already.

"yes! Sorry!" he replied quickly, sceard of what I could do... what I would do.

"I want your daughter" slowly I creeped up closer to him, slamming my hand on his tidy desk.

"like I would ever give my only daughters hand to a Romano" he kowas angry

I gave out a loud, evil, laugh "I own the most dangerous Mafia in the world? Do you really what to fight? Given are history I would think you would have learnt by now..." I needed that girl.

He slowly got up and came close... " you can kill my wife and 4 of the youngest sons and even my daughter but you can never marry her"

What a fucking pussy

"then I guess we have a deal" when I say I'm willing to settle...never trust my word
Its only just began..

Evelyn's pov:(2020)

"Evelyn? "

" Yes!?" in shock I turned around to see my maid, holding a stunning dress,
And my heart sank... Is it that day already?

" you know I'm not going to that ball " in detail I turn away refusing to give in.

" I understand darling but-" she tried to explain before I cut in

" I said no! " before I realised the maid had quickly left, I felt a cold drift pass my shoulder.

"no?"

This is my father he rules the 4th most dangerous mafia in the world he's ruthless, mean, doesn't give to shits about me or anyone including my mother.

" I'm not going and that's that" I immediately regreted my tone of voice.

"you better watch your tone or you know what happenes..."

I slowly bowed my head down

'it's your 20th birthday you have to find a husband,and with the state of you that's going to be difficult...you have to find a husband and you shall be with him till death... Whenever that may be. You will find one tonight and meet him at the ball '"

It's pointless to fight it, only just get hurt, plus I've prepared for this I knew this was the day my life would change, I would become a ushless wife who is there to keep the family name alive... But I don't want that... That's not what my mother wanted but we don't have a choice.. I Don't have a choice...

I heard the footsteps of my mother lerk behind me..

"happy birthday hunny" I could tell she was upset... Once I leave this house my new 'husband' might not let me back in.

" mom...." I look at her with lust trying to hold back my tears.

The truth is apart from my father I like it here... I like my mum... I like my brothers... yes all five of them!

' here...' she pulls out this necklace.. I swear it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen..

'no matter where you are I will always be with you'

I ran up to my mom and hugged her,wnd for the life of me I didn't want to let go..

'Evelyn?' I removed my tears as my mother passed the door giving my brother an unfazed yet fazed look.

'Alex! '

Alex is my oldest brother, and probably my favourite(don't tell the others)

I ran and hugged him as he looked at me in confusion

'are you okay? How could father
do this! He doesn't have the right! Evelyn your only 18!' he stopped and realised

' 20......Happy birthday kiddo' he drifted his arm of my shoulders slow and swiftly ... I could see he was sorry...

' Alex I'm fine, we knew this day would come...' I tryed to hold back my dispare

But I didn't think it would be so soon...
I have to stay strong.. I'm not allowed to cry anyway if my father saw even the slightest tear- god knows what he'd do..

See, woman are a key to the Mafia but not an important one. We are the child givers and the men pleassers but we aren't looked as important.. No man in the Mafia loves his wife.

Of course we do get some fun... We get to chose, which makes arranged marriages forbidden.

I put on my dress... I have to admit I looked... Gorgeous.It was a stunning red dress with a slit down the middle and a deep v cut( probably to attract a
' husband' )

Me and my brothers, Alex, josh, russo, Ben, Harry, all took a limmo to the ball..most people get a small birthday party some people don't even have one, but I get a ball.

I'm not bieng ungrateful I just don't want to have a husband at 20...i want to fall in love, have kids when I want... I want to travel and smoke weed an get drunk....have fun.

'where here'
My limmo driver opened the door for me. God the place was beautiful!!!

I steped through the double doors to see hundreds of people dancing, no one who I recordnised...

I began dancing to the old fashion tradition songs, changing man to man,all as boring and as annoying the other.

' mám.. You are by far the most beautiful person I've ever seen'

' your body might I say is heavenly'

'did it hurt when you fell from heaven because you are an angel'

Okay that last one was just cringy as fuck.

The night was boring and plain but I needed to find a husband. Tonight.... If I don't who knows what would happen..

'I would like to say a couple of words-' my father stood up on stage...and that's the moment my life changed,

Everything stopped, it was like it was in slow motion all I could hear was gunshots and screams, All I could see was the people In fear in shock they watched as the guns shot all of them. I just watched I couldn't move, I didn't run I didn't Blink... I just... Stood there.

a bag was put over my head and it must have had gas in it because I couldn't breathe..and slowly everything became blurry.
