|| Disguised Sins ||

Chapter 11

It's been 2 days since the whole slapping incident. Mum didn't apologise, neither did I.

Thoe tried to talk to me but I just gave him a cold shoulder.

Angelo has been staying with us, I don't know why, maybe for our and his safety from father, I don't know. He tries to do small talk with me but I don't listen to them.

I have still not heard from dad, I don't even care now for where he is, but sometimes I do get scared at night, that he might come back.

Today me, Jo and Chris were meeting at his house. I told them about the whole marriage thing. First, they thought I was joking but then they were both surprised by the news.

Now we were just quiet, laying on the bed looking at the ceiling.

"So what are you going to do?" Jo asked me.

"I was thinking of running away." There was a silence." but then I can't leave Theo and mum, even though how much I hate them right now, I can't forget all the good memories we had." I said.

"You know what? You should just marry someone without your mum's permission. By this, you won't be able to marry that pig!" Chris says happily.

"But who will I marry, I can't just do that, it is a big commitment. Plus, my family needs to believe that I like that guy enough to marry him. Where will I find him?" I pull my hair with my hand in frustration.

Chris looked at me with a knowing smirk.

"No!" I said with a straight face.

"Why not, we don't have to sleep together or anything, it will be a wedding on paper."

I had started to tear up, I can't believe I have such great friends.

"I can't do that to you. Besides you are gay."

"So?"

"Chris, just because you do some friendly flirting with me doesn't mean you can act straight in front of the world forever." I say laughingly.

"But thanks for the option though." I say with a smile.

"So when are you meeting the guy? Have you ever seen him?" Jo asked.

"We are going tomorrow to Italy for meeting him. And no I haven't seen his face, I am not interested in looking at him."

"Italy! You didn't tell us he is Italian!" Jo exclaimed.

"So what if that he is Italian?" I asked.

"Are you kidding me? Italian men are hot! Especially their accent! God, I would have an orgasm just by hearing it." Chris exclaimed. He looked enthusiastic as if he is marrying him, I won't mind though.

"What is his name?" Jo asked.

I was about to tell the name when there was a sudden bang downstairs. Me and Jo tried not flinched at the noise, Chris looked confused.

Jo was about to open the door when Chris stopped her.

"What do you mean getting married!?" We heard a familiar voice.

Lucifer.

"We have to do it for her own safety, why don't you understand!?" That voice belonged to Theo.

"I can provide her safety here, why do you have to make her marry someone she doesn't know at all!?"

Why are they fighting over me?
I looked at Jo who was as confused as I was whereas Chris had an unknown look on his face.

"You don't understand! She is in more danger now that people know the truth about her! It won't be long enough until she finds out the reason for this!"

"You cannot do this! I did everything you asked me to do so that I could earn your trust and you would be ok with the idea of us! What else do you want!?"

I don't want to think what I am thinking.

"Just stay out of it." Theo says with a sigh.

There are small mumbles downstairs which I can't hear properly. I had forgotten Jo and Chris were in the same room.

"Lucifer I know that I can't complete the promise I gave you. I am very sorry for that, but this needs to happen. If not, it might lead to worst and you know it. I never wanted what is happening-"

"Then why are you letting it happen!?" There was defeat in his voice.

"Because when mum told me, it broke my heart to do that to Maria too. She will probably hate me for the rest of her life, b-but at least she will h-have a life." Theo's voice broke which made my heart drop.

"You are right, I want her to live."

There was a long pose that made me look at Jo and Chris. They were looking at me with sad expressions.

Is this all my fault?

"Theo?" Lucifer's voice came softly.

"Mmh?"

"I love her."

"I k-know."
