"Your father has something to tell you." my mother says, "I feel that you should know this, because I once went through it. It's going to be hard, but just know, that we love you, and we just want you to be safe."

My heart sinks. What the hell is going on?

"Come into my office." my dad instructs me.

I do as he says and enter his office. He pulls a chair out for me and I take it, letting myself get comfortable and preparing for the worst.

"As you may know." he sits down, "I run a very large and powerful mafia."

"Yeah?" I raise a brow.

"A mafia that is capable of almost anything. We are like a government. I basically run my own little world. I can do things that almost no other person can without major consequences." he goes on.

This man is really scaring me right now. I feel like he's about to kill me or some shit. I'm starting to think I should have never came into this office. It feels weird in here.

"But," he continues, "I have enemies. Enemies that will do anything to get whatever they want. Including my family. There are people out there that want to hurt you, your brother, your mother, and everyone else you can think of."

My eyes widen, "Dude." I say, "You're freaking me the fuck out right now. Just say what you have to say."

He rolls his eyes and explains, "And in order for me to protect you, sometimes, I have to do things I don't want to do. Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do. Like be with people you don't love."

My jaw drops, "You set me up an arranged married. Didn't you?! What the fuck dad!" I stand up. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

His jaw tenses, "Sit down, Luna."

I shake my head, "I can't believe you would do something like this?!"

"Sit. Down." he says once more.

I push the chair out of my way and it flips, "Fuck no! I'm leaving. Fuck you." I shout and storm out the office, slamming the door behind me. I run up the stairs and into my room.

My bed is still how I left it this morning. I grab an empty bag out my closet and throw some clothes in it. There's no way in hell I'm staying here with these people. They're all fucking insane.

My own mother knew about all of this, and she said it was to keep me safe?!

I don't even know who the person they set me up to marry is. He could be a complete stranger, hell, he might even try to hurt me!

I stuff a few more items that I need into my bad and grab my wallet. There's no way for me to get anywhere, because I don't have a car, so I'll just have to walk.

My window catches my eye. There's a ladder right by my window, the handymen used it the other day to repair the roof. One of the tile thingies on the roof flew off and landed in the yard, so the whole thing had to be fixed.
