Love, Lust and Lies

Chapter 1

"No I don't think you understand what I'm saying" I cried "but honey you should understand the consequences" my mother said not even trying to fight back for herself for me.

"Amara you don't know what your father can do don't try to disobey him or you'll  get yourself killed and I'm sure he won't hesitate to kill you " she said with gritted teeth

"so you want me to marry a man whom father chooses for me and live my life like you mother?" I said

I wanted to explain her just one thing that marrying is not only the solution they didn't even let me join college.

"We are not having this conversation Amara" she said turning to face the window I left her room I know she was taught to be the trophy wife but I'm not gonna be a trophy wife like her.

I rather die than marry a man my father chooses for me.

I despise being born in a mafia family.

My father always did what he wanted I would turn 20 after 2 months but I had better things on my mind I wanted to become a Singer you know that what it means?

To get myself killed ofcourse my father would kill me but he would never let me work or become something he has already planned my life.

"Mara please don't tell me she didn't agreed for you joining college?" Vivienne said "no she started talking about my marriage and the conversation didn't went well" I said looking at my younger sister.

Vivienne was just four years younger than me and she was the best thing that ever happened to me she supported me in every way possible and I loved her.

"You two sisters can't stop crying over things don't you have better things to do?" Lorenzo said .

Lorenzo Michelle Esposito was my half sibling he was older than me and have a narcissistic personality to be honest and always did what father told him to do.

He was a monster  honestly he did nothing right he was just like my father but a worse version of him.

He is drunk most of the times and other times with girls who were dying to be with him. I know he is all good looking the hier of the boss but he has a bad reputation.

His mother died when he was born and he was raised by his Aunt Rossi until he turned eleven and father decided that he should live with us.

"Get out Lorenzo" I said looking him into his eyes "how dare you tell me to do anything... Sis?" He said

"vai fuori di qui (get out of here)" I yelled I was already having a crappy day "I heard that you'll be married to a New yoker" he said with a smirk "What?" I asked hiding my agitation in my voice.

"Yeah I heard father talking to the consigliere  you'll be marrying him and in return I will be marrying his sister" he said.

So that means I'll be married to a New Yorker I thought to myself "and that man is a old hag" he said "If that man is old hag that means his sister would also be a old hag" I said I know he was teasing so why don't
I also use the same thing on him.

"Shut up that's not gonna happen" he said well did I forget to tell you that he was a little less patience ,impulsive and had anger issues?

And he left without saying anything. But what if that man would be a real old hag?

When it was finally time for dinner I went downstairs to have dinner and saw Mr. Huntington with his wife talking to my father.

Mr. Huntington was a british businessman and had known my father for many years now
my father helped him in his business like they were business partners to be exact.

I went upstairs to my room again I couldn't interupt them while they were talking business so it was better to be somewhere far away from them.

"You shouldn't go downstairs viv" I told her as she came inside my room I was sitting by the window looking outside

"your sad?" She asked "No baby I'm not sad... I think I am" I chuckled she smiled slightly as as sat on my bed "how will you escape this marriage?" She asked after few minutes she knew why I was sad I wasn't sad though I was just angry thinking how my father would give me away to just make peace?.

I knew this from the beginning he just wanted to make good relationship with New York so here he is making good relationship by giving his daughter away.

"I don't know" I said feeling defeated. "You just have two months left" she said she looked concerned and why wouldn't it concerned her that I will be marrying and she will be left alone how can I stand the thought of her being alone.

We got startled as someone knocked on the door "Katerina and Vivienne it's time for dinner let's go" My mother said as she waited for us to get up and join her.
___________________

The dinner went in a blur my father kept on talking business with Mr. Huntington and my mother was having a great chat with Mrs. Huntington.

And here I am feeling empty and feeling defeated thinking about the same thing again and again.

I wished I could kill my father and run as far as possible leave everything behind.

Being born in Mafia family is like a curse.

After dinner Mr. and Mrs. Huntington left and I  was also about to leave for my room but

"Katerina... I want to talk to you about something" father said as he stood up heading for his study I was following him. He sat on his chair and told me to have a seat like I was his business partner and we were here to discuss business.

"ahem... So I'll get this straight you'll be marrying in less than a month" what the hell I thought I still had two months for me to think about something to have an escape plan "but father you said I had two months" I said frustration in my voice.

"You can't question my decision girl. Do as I say" he said giving me a death glare.

He thinks he can scare me with his glare but I am so used to it it doesn't scares me anymore.

"so as I was saying we thought you should be married after your birthday but as they wanted to get over this as fast as possible you'll be marrying Jackson on 26th of July" he said

wow that's great isn't it? He is such a great father who decided to let me know about my marriage.

Jackson
Jackson
Jackson
Jackson
I hate this name already.

"Anyways I just wanted to tell you that you will behave you will not do anything until and unless I tell you to" he continued

"you'll do as I tell you to è chiaro( is it clear)" "sì(yes)" I replied without even thinking twice.

And I know what I have to do.
