I walked up to the television and hit the power button. I saw the news flash on and the screen was lit up with the most horrifying pictures of what seems to be a war zone?

"What's so bad about this Chance?" I asked nervously. Chance seemed to be crying so I gave him a hug and sat on his lap. What happened though?!
Then the lady in the news began to talk....
"Today at around 9am in New York a house was bombed, killing everyone inside. The house went up in flames killing the entire house hold including maids and butlers. And yes this is the ashes of the infamous brooks family's mansion, who are known for playing a large part in the American mafia. So far we have confirmed the death of Pag, Brittany, Beatrice, Betty, and Laurie brooks. It is through that there will should be sorted out by Monday. Now back to you Chris."
My entire body was frozen. My home my family, all I had left was Bella. I bit my lip and Chance hugged me burring his face in my neck. Warm tears filled my eyes causing my vision to blur. I wiped them one by one as they fell down my cheeks, but eventually they fell too fast. I cried into Chances chest but then realized something. I had absolutely nothing. All I had was Bella, and she now is my responsibility. No body else is left to care for her. I now have no escape from this living h*** called life.
"Wh-what about Bella? Does she know yet?"
"No, but I told the pilot to take her back to LA so we can figure out where's she is going to live."
"She's living with us Chance! She has to! She is the only thing I have left!"
"Things will work out babygirl..."
Chance played with my hair and it somehow made things better. At least he's not dead too or I would have nowhere to go.
"Chance we need to go to New York now."
"Why?"
"I need to settle stuff with my parents lawyers, and find money."
"Tessa I have money and your fine. But if you really want to go we can go right now. In fact Erika has a house there. I think she is there now so we could possibly stay with her."
Chance called Erika and arranged our flight. We packed our things and left on jet, just like last time, but this time to New York. The clouds made funny shapes and I tired to cheer myself up by looking at them like I did with Bella when she was little. But now I have no family, except her, and an entire part of a mafia to inherit. Wait... if I own the brooks mafia... then it's my decision to marry Chance!
"Chance!" I flew on top of him and sat in his lap. "We don't have to get married anymore!"
"What do you mean..."
"If my family leaves the mafia to me in their will, then I decided what to do with it and I'm not just giving it to your family! I can run mine and you can run yours. We dont need to do this anymore!"
I sighed in relief and Chance looked shocked but also happy. "But what if I liked doing this?" He said
