Elizabeth POV:
When the Knight Family left the house, I stayed quietly in the kitchen, waiting for Dad to come in.
"Hey, sweetie, ready for dinner?" He asked, but I just shook my head softly.
"You guys are in the mafia?" I asked softly.
He stopped walking and looked at me with confused eyes.
"How did you know?" He asked, looking at me.
I looked at him before saying, "Just answer my question, Dad," surprising both of us for a moment.
He dropped his head slowly before nodding later.
I looked at him, waiting for an explanation, but he just stayed there. I knew he was not happy about me finding out, but I had to clear it.
With that, I walked into my bedroom while I heard him call my name softly, but I didn't reply.
I wasn't angry about them being in the mafia, just angry that they kept it away from me.
Four hours later, time passed slowly, but I was still in my room. I could hear Dad and the boys talking downstairs. Zack even came to check on me, but I didn't answer him.
"Princess, can we just talk, please?" I heard Dad ask softly. He sounded sad; you could tell from his voice, but again, I ignored him.
After a few minutes, I heard him walk away.
With that, I got up, wore my baggy hoodie, before grabbing my phone and bag.
I looked outside my window, checking if the coast was clear. With that, I opened my window and went down from it.
One thing about our house was the backyard had a beautiful forest. So, I walked over there to get some alone time with myself.
I made sure to put my phone on aeroplane mode before walking toward the forest.
