Bleeding Rose

Chapter seven

TW: GUNS, KNIVES, GRAPHIC VIOLENCE

My jaw dropped open and I reached back to grab my gun, but Papa's hand reached out to stop me.

"This is the biggest load of shit I've ever heard," Mateo scoffed.

"Exactly, this is absolutely ridiculous and I would rather hang myself with barbed wire than marry a Moretti," I spat.

Mateo let out a whistled of appreciation.

"Mija calm down-"

"Dios Mios are you actually considering this?" I gasped.

He gave me a warning glance for me to calm down.

"Isabella," Alejandro murmured.

"No. I'm done with this bullshit. I don't want to wear a goddamn mask, and not be able to speak a word in the presence of literally anyone. I'm done with this Bleeding Rose thing," I spat. But when nobody looked at me I realized I only said it in my head.

"I will never ever marry Lorenzo Moretti, and that's a fucking promise," I yelled.

"Calm the fuck down Bella, Jesus Christ," Mateo said, grabbing me by the elbow.

"Sanchez I'm taking her out of here so she doesn't actually kill anyone this time," Mason grunted as he pulled me out of the room.

"Are you seriously defending this," I scoffed and he continued dragging me upstairs.

"No Bella i'm not. But as your best friend I can't let you do shit like that in front of the Cosa, especially the Capo," he said and we walked up another flight of stairs to mine and my sisters rooms.

"Oh please, the Capo? Really? He is the least of my worries right now," I snorted.

"What's the most of your worries then?" Mateo asked as we walked down the hallway, walking me to my sisters room.

"How i'm going to kill myself," I snorted as I walked into Gabby's room and Mateo went back down to the meeting.

Gabby looked up her eyes went wide when I wasn't covered up.

"Get Sofia in here, and tell her to bring sugar cookies."

-

"The cats out of the bag," I sighed, rolling on my back.

"What cat?" Gabby asked.

"That I'm not dead, oh and that isn't even the best part," I chuckled sadly.

Sofia looked at me with a sympathetic expression.

"The capo paid a little surprise visit," I groaned.

"no," Gabby gasped with wide eyes.

"Oh yes and do you want to know the price the pendejo wants for the Cosa to keep my secret?" I said, flopping on my stomach.

Sofia and Gaby were looking at me with expectant looks.

"He want to marry me. Me. A Sanchez marrying a Moretti," I groaned.

"You marrying the man who technically killed you,"Sofia muttered.

"Papa has really lost his mind this time," Gabby scoffed.

"Damn straight, and there nothing I can do about it. Is me throwing a fit really worth a war breaking out over breaking the alliance," I grumbled.

"Theres got to be some way around this," Sofia sighed.

"What if I just killed myself," I smiled.

"Hilarious," Gabby said dryly.

"Well I did say that I would rather hang myself with barbed wire than marry him," I shrugged.
