Its just for the money...(chpt.1)

Amara (pov)

I woke up from my younger brothers arguing in the next room. I look around my room just to see I forgot to clean it i should that would be a very productive thing to do in the morning i think. Knowing im lying to myself "ehh never mind I'll do it later" I say getting up to hop in the shower

I start to hear my parents arguing they never really argue unless it's something actually something important. After 30 minutes I get changed in to some comfortable heading downstairs to check up on my parents.

"Is everything ok?"

My mother sighed as I asked her my question " all is fine, Me and your father will have to talk about it later to you" she told me

I wasn't really caring about it too much because it was too early in the morning to start having serious conversations.

I started cooking me some breakfast I asked my mother if she wanted some she stated she already had some while walking upstairs with my dad.

"Later around 7pm you will be going somewhere with us so please make sure you look presentable
For the occasion" she told me I was about to ask her what is the reason for it but she was already upstairs.

I continued to make breakfast for myself, I was interrupted by my twin brothers just staring at me. I try to act like I can't see them " can you make us some breakfast please" Ivan asked me.

" ask your brother I tell him" trying to leave the kitchen as fast. I can to leave them with there own problem " but Avery doesn't really want to cook" Ivan told me

" how old are you guys again" I asked " 14" they both said " Yeahh, then yall can make your own food" I said looking at my phone running back upstairs to my room.

I sit down to enjoy my breakfast. My mom came in my room and the first thing she says is "you need to clean this room" I stared at her getting annoyed. My mom called for my dad to come in my room too.

I stayed quite think to myself well damn we having a whole family reunion up in here. My father eventually came in my room he sat on my bed he looked like he needed to tell me something.

" Amara , you will be getting married it is arranged. He's name is Angelo Romano" I looked at my father dumb founded for a second. " what do you mean I'm getting married, I'm sorry but i refuse" I tell him getting up from my bed to take all this information in.

" you cannot refuse we already made a deal with his father" my mother said to me. " for what I don't even need to be married" i tell her in disbelief " we need the money Amara" she said to me. I stayed silent shaking my head walking around my room I knew we needed the money but marrying me off to some random is not going to do much for us.

"What time is this dinner again?" I ask to see how much time. I have to really sit and think about this " we had changed the time to make it quicker it will be at 5pm" my father told me " And your marrying me off to some mafia leader that kills people for a living!" I say to my parents raising my voice up a bit.

" just think of it for the money please, Amara" i didn't say nothing to my mother. But sighed and asked them to leave so i could finish my breakfast..

Angelo (pov)

"ANGELO" my father is always yelling my name for something. I told Ace to hold on for a second while I took my boxing gloves off. "Yes father" I say already getting annoyed by him and he didn't even get to say something to me. My father always gotten on my nerves my whole life he would train me my whole life just to be a mafia leader but never acted as a friend to.
