TW: PHYSICAL ABUSE

Anastasia Pov:

Coming home from a normal day at school, it was okay like usual. Opening the door my brother Elijah greets, "Father wants to speak to u" he said. Having me worrying because he always beats me to release stress so I was preparing for that to happen.

"Father", I said. He was sitting in this black leather chair facing the window while I was standing there waiting on him to speak.

He finally answered me saying, "you're going to marry Lorenzo Lopez and that's final" he declared with a demanding tone. My father put his spliff into his mouth while pouring rum into his cup as he turned his chair around to see my reaction.

"But father" I said knowing Lorenzo is one of the most dangerous person I know, I mean him and his parents owns the biggest mafia there is. "NO BUTS!" He shouted at me causing me to jump.

I started to cry, "I just turned 17 yesterday I'm not going to marry someone at such a young age". He got up and slammed me to the floor, kicking me in my head and in my stomach causing me to vomit. "Jesus Christ a wa di the bomboclaat u a do to mi pickney" my mother said as she walked in. "Bomboclaat now look like daddy go kill mommy" I said in my head, if that did eva rass slip out mi mouth mi dead. Mommy start shake while mi father a look pan har and she just walk out.

"Your are going to marry him whether u like or not I don't give a fuck" he shouted at me while giving me one more kick. I crawled out of his office accepting that I have to marry Lorenzo whether I like it or not.

I was in the hall lying on the floor in pain could barely move. My other brother Ace saw mi there and left me up carrying me into my room, he got some ice and put it on where the bruises where.

"What happened in there" Ace said with a worrying tone
"He's forcing me to marry Lorenzo" I declared almost on edge of crying. "I was against it so he started to beat me" Ace looked at me like he was about to cry, I mean who wouldn't cry seeing there little sister in so much pain.

"I wished I could do something about it" he said with a sad tone. "It's ok, it'll get better I guess" we hugged each other.
He said goodbye so I could get some rest before dinner time.

Lorenzo was one the most dangerous man I know, his parents and mines are good friends. I only saw him once he's half Jamaican and half Italian, he has some great feature to be honest but I'm also scared because I've heard some bad things about him. I don't want him to be the same as my father that's what I'm mostly worried about. My father abuses me a lot and I mean a lot, I'm used to it by now it makes me stronger now I guess.

I lay there worrying about everything and how my life is about to change.
Soon I got up and head to the bathroom to take a hot steaming shower still in pain. The hot water touched my bruise and I flench in pain.

Finally I was finished taking a shower.
My mother called for me to come down stairs. It was finally dinner time were they went back on the topic of me and Lorenzo going to marry, they were all arguing my brothers was cursing out my parents asking them how could they just send me off to marry someone I barely knew

"It's good for business" my father stated, "his business more important than your daughter happiness?" Elijah shouted at my father,
"Yes! And she's going to marry him whether u idiots like it or not, now shut up uno bomboclaat mouth and eat" my father cursing us in is Jamaican accent causing everyone to shut up.

I just sat there and ate  in silence as tears fall from my face
