Alina's POV:
We all sit at the table with Leo beside me because of our secret beans deal. As the chatter continues, servents begin to bring out food and serve it on the table. Being one of the largest Mafia's in the world brings weath. Lika, a ridiculous amount of wealth.
I fill my plate with food and start seperating the beans. Once I have a good amount, Leo's fork moves close to my plate and when we see mama not looking we nod to each other and he starts scooping the beans when papa and Alexandro stand up clearing their throats to announce something. Leo continues clearing the beans because mama is distracted looking over at papa.
"Alexandro and I have recieved a warning." Papa begins. Everyone looks at them attentively waiting for him to continue except, well me and Leo who are still running the bean programme. "At a recent underworld's meeting, we were warned about how the alliance between the Italian Mafia and Russian Mafia isn't official. We had been putting that off for quite some time but it is time to address this issue and solve it as soon as possible. So, having reached the eligibility, Alina and Leo are going to be wed." He says and my brain goes absolutely blank, unwilling to process a single word uttered. I feel Leo still beside me, frozen while a fork full of beans still in hand. Everyone looks at us wide-eyed. This cannot be happening.
"No. No no no no no no no. NO." I say repeatedly without giving thought. "I cannot be married to this bastard for god's sake I'm only 19! I cannot believe this is happening. Absolutely not. Just marry Enzo and Dante or something! No no no, there has to be another way to make the alliance official. Please." I don't mind the word-vomit and keep blurting out anything that comes to mind. "Please dad, I don't want to get married-" My sentence is cut off my Leo's sigh followed by, "Can we have chocolate cake?"
"What the fuck, Leo? You're seriously thinking about chocolate cake when we have to get married?! And no, we cannot have chocolate cake. It's gonna be a fruit cake." I say. "Fruit cake?! Who the fuck has fruit cake on their wedding?!" "I DO!" "WELL IT'S NOT JUST YOU GETTING MARRIED, IT'S ME TOO!" He matches my pitch and everyone ping pongs between us.
"They're gonna be in love in less than a year." Mia says and mama responds with, "6 months. bet." As I pay no mount to them and continue my argument with Leo about whether we'll have fruit cake or chocolate cake.
"Okay guys, Calm down. Leo and Alina will be announcing their marriage and this alliance at the annual mafia ball." Papa then turns to me, "Alina, you'll be moving in with Leo at the Colombo mansion and your marriage is set to be next year, after a week of your 20th birthday." I feel my throat squeeze and feel tears prick my eyes at not the thought of marriage but that I'll be moving away from my family, even though it's like- 5 minutes apart plus we're practically at each others all the time. I hold in the wave of saddness that hits me and eat in silence when I feel someone tap my shoulder from behind. I look back to see Atlas as he motions me to come to the back. I follow him and when were a bit further from the dining room, he pulls me into a hug. I instantly melt into the hug and hold him tight.
"As much as it hurts to admit, I'll miss you Al'." That was my breaking point as I let the gates open and all my emotions, hurt, gloom, anger, everything comes flooding and sobs rack through me. "I'll miss you too ,you know, even though I'll see you everyday will be literally 5 minutes away, I'll miss our sleepovers. I'll miss painting your nails when you're asleep." I say and he huffs out at the memory making we chuckle while tearing up.
"I swear to god, Leonard. If she cries even once because of you, you'll wish you were dead."I hear and my head, along with Atlas's snaps up to see Enzo threatening Leo. I pull back from Atlas as he lets me free and we walk over to them. "Why is my brother threatening my fiance?" I say straining the word fiance as if still not believing any of it to be true. "Just making sure my sister makes it out alive so that I can one day be an uncle." Enzo says looking up at the ceiling, daydreaming about his neices and nephews that he's not getting anytime soon. "You know, I'll have to have sex with Leo for that?" I say and Enzo snaps out of his daydream and looks me in the eye and I look over to Leo also looking at me with a undescribeable look on his face, a mixture of disbelief, confusion, disgust and i dont even know what else.
"You can be more subtle because I definately did not want that image in mind."
"Why do you have that image in mind. Get rid of it."
"I CAN'T!"
"ENZO GET THAT OUT OF YOUR HEAD! I DON'T WANT YOU THINKING ABOUT MY DICK INSIDE YOUR SISTER!" Leo says and Enzo looks straight-up disturbed.
"YOU MADE IT EVEN MORE VIVID."
"OKAY GUYS STOP. LEO, WE ARE NOT HAVING SEX THIS IS JUST SOME SHIT WE'RE STUCK IN BECAUSE OF SOME STUPID MAFIA BUSINESS. THINGS ARE NOT GONNA CHANGE AFTER WE GET MARRIED WE'LL STILL BE ENEMIES." I shout.
I don't know if we're getting somewhere yet but the beggining will be just getting things settled in and just giving ya'll the jist of each charecter. Thanks for reading loves. Bye! <3
