Blood Or Love (COMPLETED)

Chapter 1

Anastasia's POV

"Tasia" I heard my best friend scream from beside me. I groaned and covered my ears with the pillow beside me. "Tasia, get up! It's your birthday, girl!" Oh yeah. It's my birthday today but I don't really celebrate it anymore. I stopped celebrating my birthday six years ago. Since he went away. By he I mean Lorenzo Giovanni. We used to celebrate all of our birthdays together. He was my childhood best friend and later on we started dating.

It had just been one week and on the eighth day, it was my birthday but he stopped responding to me or my calls and won't even meet me. He said that he no longer wants me in his life. All I could do was walk away from his life. "Get up lazy girl, we gotta get ready." My best friend, Tatiana spoke up.

"Tats you know that I don't celebrate my birthday." I sat up rubbing my eyes. She suddenly held me by my shoulders and screamed. "Happy birthday girl!! And you have to celebrate your birthday, until when will you wait for that bastard to come back in your life." She was right. I was waiting for him to come again in my life. I smiled at her and the door opened. My mom walked in with a huge smile on her face.

"Happy birthday princess!" She hugged me. My parents are a totally different story of my life. I don't know what they do, they're out most of the time and there are guards who are surrounding our house each minute. Wherever I go, the guards follow me. Creepy I know but I have no idea why. "Good morning my lovely princess! Happy Birthday to you!" My dad walked in. He hugged me and pecked my forehead.

"What is it that you want this year as a gift?" My dad asked, wrapping his hand around my shoulder. This is the best time to ask. "Can you excuse us? Please?" I looked at her as she smiled walking down in the living room. "Dad, I want answers. What do you do? Where do you go? Why do you come back injured at times? Why are guards always surrounding our house?" I asked. He sighed and sat on my bed.

"Anastasia... You see, this is going to come to you as a shock, I know but... I'm a Mafia leader. I lead the Russian Mafia. The guards and all are for your safety and we go on our missions as mafia leaders." What the hell? Am I listening right? I sat on the bed looking nowhere. I was shocked. "Tasia I know how this would be feeling but it's the truth and we were waiting for the right time to tell you. By the way, dress well today, you are going to have another shock." How the hell can my dad say this so normally?

It'd be so hot to be the daughter of a Mafia leader, wow Tasia, way to go!

Hot? My ass I'm shocked and worried.

You're just overthinking and exaggerating. Your gut feeling was this only.

Shut up consy.

"Tasia?" He shook my shoulder and I nodded absentmindedly. "I didn't want to ruin your birthday but today you actually are going to be shocked. And please don't judge me or think of me in a wrong way. I just wanted to protect you." I'd have done this same too if I were in his shoes. He's not wrong, it's just that I'm shaken by the truth. "I promise I won't judge you and I'm just glad that you told me all this. I'll get ready and be down in a few. Can you just call Tats while going down?" I smiled as he nodded and smiled proudly.

"My daughter has grown up so mature." He pecked my forehead and walked down with mom. The door burst open and Tatiana walked in. "Find a dress for me. Not too simple, not too fancy. Just my type." I ordered and walked inside the shower.

My dad is a Mafia leader... He would've been through so much ... And it explains this security too but he's a Mafia leader. Hell, I'm not able to digest this thing. It's okay. It has caused no harm to my family. It's okay Tasia, it's okay. I walked out of the shower finally digesting the fact. Tats was nowhere in the room but my dress was.
