Anastasia's pov:
God,this silence treatment is killing me.
No one's saying anything. This isn't usually how I planned our dinner happening.
I saw Brett, why isn't he wearing his glasses, oh my God, are those contacts?
I'm just going to break the silence.
"Brett, can you pass me the water jug?"I asked. He passed it to me with silence.
Again.
Nothing.
This is torture.
Shawn saw my expression and smiled.
THIS ISNT FUNNY SHAWN.
I wanted to scream, but I don't have then energy.
All of a sudden Brett starts laughing. It wasn't even his normal laugh.
"What is so funny Brett?" Dad asked in a serious tone.
"This is fucked up, that's what's funny dad. We have been given a day to process the information that we are a mafia, and not that WE'RE THE MARTINEZ CLAN, something that is a crazy, because that is what everyone fears, not only that, we've been having secret bodyguards around us,and this huge ass mansion,and you expect us to just be okay with it. We're no mafia, we're murderers, everyone's nightmare. No one messes with the Martinez, because you kill people. And now we're having dinner like we're a regular family. So yeah,that's what's so funny." He said and by the time he was done he was in tears.
My mouth was wide open,just as Shawn,just as mom.
But dad was calm,not angry, not upset.
"I know Brett, but I do it all for my family, we are to be feared,because if you mess with my family, you mess with me. I'm happy you expressed yourself. I want you use that anger as weapon. And don't you use that tone with me." He said with big eyes.
Brett looked down, and murmured under his breath that he was sorry.
And then we were back to silence
.
Then once dinner was done. He saw up to us both."Set your alarm at 5, will be going jogging, and then you will go to school. And come back home and learn to use the weapons in the armory. Also, we're not just bad guys Brett, we're also rich, very rich, all the more reason to be aggressive, we deal with drugs too. The trading company is just a cover. Now go, tomorrow you have to wake up early."
He said and for some reason, I was scared of dad and Brett and Shawn too that day.
