Love, Lust and Lies

Chapter 2

I kept on repeating his name and every time I repeated it I hated him more and more. I know what I have to do.

I just need to understand how to take the first step. Cause if I make even a smallest mistake I will get caught and that's not exactly what I want.

After the conversation with my father I asked him the name of the man he wanted me to marry like I  knew his first name but when I double checked he just refused to answer my question he said he won't give me any kind of information.

I hate it

When I went inside my room to sleep I saw Vivienne waiting for me "what did father say?" She asked "He told me to behave and do as he tells me to."

I replied adjusting the pillows " can I sleep in your room?" She asked " yes ofcourse sweetheart"

"will I also be forced into a marriage Mara?" She sounded worried "No ofcourse not come here" I pulled her towards me we lie down and I brushed her hair.

"why did you thought you'll be forced?"

"Seeing you like this and I know that you don't want to marry anyone and  your marrying Mr. Whatever because of father"

"Mr. Whatever?" "I don't know his name so I just gave him one" she chuckled

"You know while father was giving me lecture he just referred to Mr. Whatever as Jackson" "did you asked father for his name?"

"He refused to answer and I'm sure he said his name by mistake" "you know Lorenzo said that they will arrive on 19th for the wedding dress. And the girl he's marrying her name is Ariana"

"how does he knows that girl's name?"

"He got the information from the Consigliere" she said as she drifted off to sleep. After lying down for  several minutes and I decided to go for a walk.

Walking through the corridor at night is kinda my thing.

I could understand how it would have been to be born as a girl after me and Viv being girl and not getting a hier from my mother

father despised us even more but it was the Consigliere who advised that he could actually keep us with him and use us like this so he could actually have more power.

But we didn't even knew that he had an affair from the very beginning. I saw my mother being torture and sometimes even getting slapped by my father.

But she did her best to impress him and be a good wife but all he did was make my mother feel miserable and never respect her.

A marriage is nothing without respect love and happiness. I don't want to marry someone like my father.

I went outside of my room closing the door on my way and after walking for 10 minutes or something.

I saw someone and realised it was Lorenzo talking to someone , a man whom I don't recognise he wasn't our guard.

I saw them coming my way so I hurried and hide inside in one of  the guest room.

Who was it? And what is he doing with Lorenzo. After few minutes I heard Lorenzo he was just outside of the guest room in the corridor.

"so is that your plan?" He asked "yes and Boss wants to meet you as soon as possible" replied someone with a weird accent.

"Don't worry about that but tell him the plan sucks it can't be happening on such a special day Umberto" Enzo said

"but this is the whole point it has to be a special occasion"

"okay whatever we'll discuss this tomorrow not now if anyone caught us then we'll be fucked up now go before anyone sees us together" Enzo whispered.

After waiting for them to clear my way so I could head back to my room and process whatever just happened.

When I got out from the guest room the corridor was deserted I quickly went inside my room locking the door on my way. There's something wrong with Lorenzo he's planning something but what could he be planning and who was that guy. And what plan were they talking about. I hope he doesn't do anything wrong.

_______________________

The next day I was thinking of asking Lorenzo about last night but what if he hurts me or does something stupid.

After thinking this and making my way to his room to ask him about last night I knocked on his door after waiting for few minutes and getting no response

I opened the door and saw that no one was there at all. I went inside and started checking the cabinets and drawers not long after my detectiveness got interrupted by someone pulling me from my wrist so hard that it hurt like hell

"are you finding something.... Sis?" Enzo asked "but you'll not get anything there honestly. I saw you last eavesdropping our conversation I'm not as stupid as you think" he said.

I didn't wanted to show nervousness but I froze I don't know what to do after protesting to get my hand out of his grip "so what are you upto?" I asked trying to play it cool "none of your business sis"  "oh come on we all know that your planning something against father" I said

well did I forget to add that father treats Enzo like a piece of shit and he can't do anything to impress him. I think no one can actually impress that man.

"so what is it?". You know that right we are on the same team.

You can tell me whatever it is and you know I'm not the type of person whom you'll tell about your plan and I will go running to father and tell him everything"

after thinking for sometime and loosening the grip he sat down on his bed as I did the same "it's about father" he said

"whatever it is I'm just doing the right thing okay and I'll not do anything that will get us killed" he said.

"So what is it? What are you gonna do"

"renderlo impotente (make him powerless)"
If he's gonna make father powerless then it means I can actually escape this marriage. I can get my freedom.
"So tell me about your plan?" "I can't. The plan has nothing to do with you or your family so stay out of it"

"If father becomes powerless that means we don't have to marry the New Yorkers?" I asked him. "Oh if you're thinking of escaping this marriage that's so not gonna happen. We are doing this just to make good relationship with New York if we don't do that then it means war between Chicago and New York. Don't you even dare to think about it"

Or else? I'll runaway.
