Mafia Daughter

Chapter 2: Marry Me?

I hurry downstairs to accompany my Sister and Mother at the end of the staircase. My mother looks up her auburn hair wrapped into a tight bun her blue eyes watch me like a hawk.

She isn't really my Mother... more like step-mother. My real Mother couldn't handle losing my brother... she-she committed suicide in front of me. I shake my head refusing to dwell on the past.

My Father is laughing with a strange looking man in a black suit and blue dress shoes. The stranger has brown hair and brown eyes with a tall build and hard look.

A boy is standing next to the man and he is rather different then the man. He has jet black hair and it hangs into his face covering part of his ocean blue eyes.

The boy looks straight at me and it makes me stop in my tracks. His suit matches my Fathers but his shoes match the strangers.

Clover elbows me "that hot boy is looking at you," she whispers and looks at my face. I look back at her and she smiles. "I think he likes you," she adds. "He hasn't met me," I laugh.

Father waves me to him and I obey at once. Mother hisses at me like Clover should've been the one to go. I approach Father and the boy smiles so does the stranger.

"Daisy I would like you to meet Mr. Peep and his son Jacob," Father says but his smile falters a bit. I look at him in confusion but say "nice to meet you both."

I don't look at the stranger or the boy but focus on Father.

"So this is her?" Mr. Peep asks and Father nods putting his head down. "Father?" I squeak because I feel as though something has gone wrong.

"Daisy... I must tell you something," Father says putting his head even lower. I reach for him but he recoils from me like I am acid.

"Father spit it out," I snap with sudden anger.

"I... I lost a bet," he stutters. "Father if I must work that is fine don't worry about it... must we speak about this in front of Mr. Peep?" I whine and Father looks at me. His face a beet red... he-he is angry?

"Daisy I bet you and your sister! You must marry Jacob," Father growls. I stumble back and Jacob frowns at Mr. Peep.

"Father I wish to court her!" Jacob protest but Mr. Peep raises his hand.

I look to Father. "How could you! I-I I'll never forgive you for this!" I sob and move away from him. He catches my hand and I raise my other and slap him.

He lets me go in surprise and I dash up the stairs and Jacob follows me with one last angry look at my Father.

I spin around once I've reached the top and Jacob stops. "What!" I yell and he pulls me into his arms. I struggle for a bit before bursting into tears.

I sob into his shoulder then I pull away. "I shouldn't be crying on your shoulder since I am to marry you," I say.

"At least you aren't marrying Sam... I'm head of the house and heir to the you could call it throne," he shrugs.

"You spoiled little rich boy!" I shout and he slaps me across the face hard. I let out a yelp and try to pull away but he catches me. "I am not your Father! You will not speak to me in such a manner! Now... go get packed," he orders and shoves me away.
