Only you

1~Sealed

◇Sophia◇

The bell rang signalling the end of the school day. I quickly packed my belongings and headed out of the class. I was waiting for Lilah as I saw her walking out of her classroom.

Lilah was my best friend and pretty much my only friend."Hey!" I greeted her as she slung her arm around my shoulder." Hey Soph" she replied.

"How was double chem?" I asked her knowing she hates chemistry. " Boring as always." she says rolling her eyes. I giggle at her silly behaviour. I love Lilah she's probably one of the only few people that I love.

We both were walking amongst the big crowds of pupils that were heading home. I sighed internally at the thought of going home and back to him.

I would've spent some time after school with Lilah so I didn't have to face whatever was waiting for me at home but I know I would just get beat up twice as much.

I pushed my emotions aside and decided to say bye to Lilah when I saw that my driver was here already.

I took a shower once I reach home and decided to wear a grey full sleeve shirt and a pair of black sweatpants.

I started to make my way downstairs as my mom was calling me. " Yes mama?" I answer. " Your father wants you to go his study now!" she told me.
" Okay..." I replied quietly.

My heart was thumping loudly in my chest now. Why did he need me? Had I done something wrong? My nerves were increasing as I got closer and closer to his study. Once I reach his door I lifted my shaking hand and knocked on the door twice.

Knock! Knock!

Once I heard a reply from the other side of the door I opened the door slowly and walked in. I kept my head down as I didn't want to see his expression right now. I was extremely tired right now all I wanted to do was lie in my bed and watch all day.

" Sit!" he snarled at me when I reach his desk. I obeyed him quickly and sat down in the nearest chair that was in front of his desk. I couldn't tell if he was drunk or something good had happened but he looked rather pleased about something.

I've only ever seen my father happy when he is drunk or something really good has happened. And the drunk bit is not always true he can either get really aggressive when drunk or happy. Sadly for me if whenever he would get mad when drunk he would take out his anger on me.

"You know Lorenzo Rossi right?" he asks me. I nod my head but I'm still confused as to why he is asking me this. I'm pretty sure everyone knows Lorenzo Rossi he is the Mafia King after all. He's the best yet only 19 years old which still amazes me to this day.

"I've merged an alliance with the Rossi Mafia and your getting married with Lorenzo Rossi" he says proudly. I try not to show my defiance as I already know that if I even try to argue back I will just end up in the basement. 

I never expected a love marriage in the Mafia, but I hoped that my father was going to get me married to someone decent, but no I'm getting married with the devil himself. 

"Get ready by 7 tomorrow we're going to drop you off at the ball and he is coming to get you from there." he snarls. 

"Okay" I murmur quietly. I stand up and leave the room knowing that if I stayed in there any longer I would have burst out crying. 

Once I get into the hallway my waterworks turn on. I hate my life at this point I don't even want to be alive anymore. What if they treat me like Papa? 

I run into my bedroom and just sit there and cry. I was just staring out of the window wondering where my life went wrong. What did I ever do wrong for my father to treat me like this?

Its moment like these I wish I had a sibling ; we'd sit together and forget about all our worries just talking and laughing together. 

The sound of the door opening snaps me out of my thoughts. I see my mother peeking her head through the door. 

Once I see her I can't help but to start crying again. "Mama" I cry out. She walks over to me and hugs me sideways. 

My mother was never really that close to me but I know that seeing your only child go away from you even if you don't like them can be painful. 

After a few seconds of silence I mutter under my breath "Why?" I turn my head towards my mom. 

"What do you mean sweetheart?" she asks me. Her eyes are red and tears that haven't fallen yet are brimming in her eyes.

"Why does he even want me? Why is dad doing this to me?" I cry out. 

"Sophia darling in the Mafia this is what happens. They marry you off for a deal they need to make and you should be quite glad that THE Lorenzo Rossi wants to marry you." she tells me.

"You are a beautiful girl after all and he is very lucky to be receiving a girl like you that grew up in the mafia and so sweet" she says cradling my face with her hand.

"But why is Papa doing this to me?" I ask her. "He has the power doesn't he? He could have said no" I tell her.

"Bambina they can but these Mafia men are all selfish all they care about is their mafia, so giving you away is basically nothing to them." she tells me honestly. I nod my head in understanding. 

There's no point in asking other questions I was getting married to the GREAT Lorenzo Rossi and I was going to have to suck it up.
