Luca

The ball

Not shortly after the tense ride to the night ball that's hosted every year for mafias to come together and make deals and form alliances and all that blah blah we arrive, slowly piling out of the limousine.

I look at the enormous house that the ball is hosted at this year and my mouth opens slightly at how gorgeous this house really is. Where cars were parked there was a beautiful water fountain and the house was black and white with many floors to it. As I was caught in a daze I didn't realise the scowls in my family face until I felt my dad's hand grip ahold of my arm tightly, bruising instantly. He pulled me close and leaned in to my ear.

"Do not make a fuss tonight, what I say goes, got it?" He spat at me making me nod almost instantly.

He then let go and I followed behind my family like a lost girl keeping my head down, knowing the most powerful mafias would be here so I had to be on my best behaviour or dad wouldn't be happy. I followed my family around for a while as they greeted many other mafia families with handshakes and had short conversations with them sometimes the other families would even try speak to me however father always distracted them meaning I never really got to talk to them.

I sigh as we finally took a seat at a huge table with lots of food on, my eyes lit up as I reached in to grab a peice of cheese from the board until my mother smacked my hand away.

"Don't you think you eat enough, be polite instead of a gready pig!" She scowled.

I looked back down at my hands fiddling with them.

It then suddenly became dark, the champagne lights that were shining down on me seeming to beam elsewhere, I looked up to see a few men surrounded by our table, most looking at my father.

"Ah Mr Lombardi! Nice to see you here!" My father exclaims with a fake smile plastered on his face with his chipped teeth showing.

"It is my penthouse Robert." The strangely handsome man said to my father with no emotion in his voice but he had a scowl on his face, looking right at my father. I think this is the first time I've ever seen my father look the slightest bit scared.

"Ah of course! Well what do I owe the pleasure Luca?" My father tried to sound as enthusiastic as he could but there was no doubt that he had a slight shake in his voice when speaking to Luca.

Wait..

Luca Lombardi?!

The most powerful man in the mafia world?!?! Shit.

My eyes widened as I realised that the Luca was stood in front of me speaking to my monster of a father.

"What do you owe the pleasure?!" Luca whispered shouted at my father scrunching his fists into balls.

He stood tall over my father's 5'8 build being at least 6'2 making my father look like a small 5 year old that's just been told off for drawing on the walls with crayons.

"You owe me 4 million dollars in fucking drug money because you was stupid enough to lose it when I asked you to ship it off to my base in California!" Luca bellowed, trying his hardest to keep his cool making me gulp at his dominance, he was incredibly sexy though with his piercing blue eyes and almost jet black hair and tan with his all black suit and shirt on..

"If it wasn't for this stupid fucking ball, you would have a bullet inbetween your eyes right now!" He again shouted.

My father just gulped at Luca searching the room with his eyes looking for anything to help, yet no one seemed to bothered or didn't hear.

"We can work this out Luca! Make a deal or I can-"

"No fucking deals anymore Robert! I want my money now!" He got into my father's face as I stared at them both with wide eyes frozen in my place unsure of what the hells going on.

"I'll give you something in return for the money Luca! A new little toy!" My dad begged.

"Oh yeah and what's that?" Luca smirked cockily at my father knowing nothing can top the 4 million dollars he owes him and grabbing him by the collar of his shirt.

"Her!" My dad shouted, pointing right at me, my eyes widened in shock and my heart dropped.

Luca looked my way and his eyes scanned my body as I froze in place thinking why my own family could do this to me.

"What's so special about her Robert you really think I want her over 4 million dollars you owe me?!" He shouted his eyes landing on my dad again and pulling his collar harder making my heart sink a little but also making me feel relieved.

"She will do anything you ask, no seras esclavo?" (Won't you slave). My father looks at me right in the eye as I slowly nod as the look in his eyes tells me that if I don't agree he will give me a bad punishment.

I look down embarrassed as Luca looks at me from across the table.

"Okay Robert, her and 2 mill, that my final offer or I can just kill you right here right now?" He smirks at my father and my father looks at my mother and brother and myself disgustingly before nodding and shaking hands with Luca.

My heart drops to my stomach knowing I have just been sold from my own family, there was a blink of hope in my heart telling me this could be a new start, but my mind was telling me that living with Luca would be a living hell considering what people have said about his reputation.

I look down ashamed before I hear Luca speak up.

"Put her in the car we're leaving." He says dryly.

I raise my head and see two men grab my arms and drag me away from my family and into a black suv, I look back at them once more to see them all smiling and laughing, glad that I'm gone? My heart sinks knowing I was never cared for or loved I was just used and abused..

Luca gets in the same suv I am in and tells the driver to take us to his place, I keep my head down the whole ride as tears quietly fall from my face, knowing I have no hope, no one to love, or no one that loves me..
