~Agreements~

Chapter 4🥀

Anger in me rises. My blood is boiling from where me and Mateo left things off. I hate how he got me all riled up.

Almost marching my way over to my family. I hide the fury inside, hoping none of them would notice. As long as I didn't see that arrogant bum I would be fine.

Like always I spoke too soon.

My attention is brought to Mateos who is walking at a distance beside me. We're both headed to the stage.

The anger I'd hidden begins to brew once more as I notice his stupid cold glare appear. I wanted so badly to rip that smug look off his face.

I stand by my family on stage. Mateo can be seen across from me. With his family as well of course.

I take in deep breaths in hopes of bringing down the rage I felt. Taking my inhaler from my bag I take a few very needed puffs as I turn away from the view of the audience.

Everyone is senile, yet also excited as to what huge announcement my Papa was going to make. Especially my mama, brothers and I. We hadn't even known they planned to announce anything.

We waited for everyone to gather round. Growing impatient I beg my Papa to just get it over with.

* I can't stand another minute anywhere near this guy, or I would seriously kiss him. Wait WHAT?! Not kiss I meant KILL I'll KILL him! Ughh!*

Calming my pulse I just try and shake off my thoughts.

Finally my Papa holds his hand up as to hush the room, he begins. I stare as he seems somewhat nervous about what he's going to say next.

"As you all know, me and Mr. Pablo King are great friends. We both go way back, he even saved my life, and for that I owe him a lot. Our Mafias are strong because of family. We bond and treat each other as if we're one big familia. " 

I nod but am actually surprised at how close our families are.

"Long ago we made an agreement, signing a contract but it was more like a promise. Promising that we would not only build a stronger Mafia, but marry our first born son and daughter in the process. Officially making this Mafia family of ours not only expand and grow but also become, unstoppable!"they both laugh, cheers and applauds can be heard. But all my sense's begin to fade out.

*What's happening to me? This can't be real...No, No..*

My world which was once filled with light, started to become dark...

Before I fall I bump into one my brothers. I take a deep breath in and exhale slowly...turning my head slightly.

It's Rafael, he holds me up knowing if he hadn't I would've fallen. He nudges me to stand. "Remember what I said ok?" his voice is gentle.

*Everyone just wants me to have an asthma attack today huh?! This can't ACTUALLY be happening..why didn't ANYONE TELL ME?!*

I turn to face Mama who is just as shocked as me.

"I-I'm gonna be marrying Mateo?..." I let out in a hushed voice to her. She doesn't give me an answer.

Instead she takes my one hand holding it tight. With the other caressing my face. "Don't worry, you'll be ok..."

Fear overpowers me and I feel myself about to break.

*Ok..this room is getting smaller and smaller.*

Mateo is just as shocked at me. He looks surprised but somehow..calm? While I on the other hand feel my pulse begin to beat sporadically once more. 

I'm snapped out of my daze as Mr. King begins to speak. "Now I know this may seem sudden. But we felt it was the perfect time to bring it up. As I will soon be letting my son fully take over for our whole Mafia. I also know that he could use a companion, and what perfect timing this contract was. So cheers to success, and a new era of a stronger Mafia family. To the Kings, and Romano's!" Both him and my father smile, as they end their speeches with a toast.
