The Mafia and Its Angel (Under Editing)

I wake up today thinking I was a normal sixteen year old sophomore at Tribeca prep. I went to school this morning for a math test in first period, only to be led into a car with my Tio Marco and taken to a huge castle looking house. I was told then that it was my family's estate. I'm driving up the drive way as Marco explains what is happening, to the best of his ability.

"Amelia, your father ordered me to bring you here today." I look at him in shock as he says the word 'orders'. 

"My father is a business man Marco, you know that. You work with him all day, and you're his brother!" 

I say almost hysterically. He chuckles.

 "Well most of that is true."  

He doesn't let me respond and continues speaking.

 "Alright well let's not keep your father waiting. He wants to see you in the west wing piano room." 

I didn't care, I was already rushing out of the car and through the big double french cut front doors. 

"PAPA!" 

I shout from the foyer as I run into a lady. She politely nods her head and points to the stairs.

"Segundo piso, por el pasillo hasta el final. Es la Puerto de la derecho." (Second floor, down the hall to the end. It is the door on the right)" 

She finishes with a sweet soothing voice and smiles at me. I automatically translate what she said in my head and smile back at her. 

"Gracias."(Thanks) 

I say quickly before tearing up the stairs and down the hall. I stand right outside the door and take a deep breath before bursting through the doors and before I can say anything, a man turns from the piano.

 "No digas una palabra! Not until you hear me out first." (Don't say one word!)

 I stop dead in my tracks and fall on my butt. That 'man' is my dad and he never yells at me, not unless he's extremely mad or it's important that I listen to him. 

My father snaps his mouth shut and drags a big hand through his almost all grey hair as he crouches down beside me. He sighs and wipes a tear I hadn't known had fallen and pulls me into him for a hug.

"I'm sorry Mila, I didn't mean to yell. It's just been a very stressful day. Por favor, no llores."(Please, don't cry.) 

I wipe the rest of my tears away and put on a small smile, but it quickly fades.

 "Papa, this is scaring me. Whats going on?" 

He helps me stand and takes me over to the couch. I sit down and pull my knees up to my chest. 

He sighs and takes a deep breath, obviously trying to keep his composure together.

"I didn't want this to happen. I told your mother that we needed to open your eyes sooner but she wouldn't have it. Mantener en secreto a la mafia te estaba salvando, pero guardarte esto por más tiempo te haría daño, así que debo decirte ..."(Keeping the mafia a secret from you was saving you, but keeping this from you any longer would hurt you so I must tell you...)

He says with an audible voice crack. He takes a shaky breath before continuing.

"Mila, I know you've been told about the Mafia in school, I've made it so you would but what you don't know is why I did so." 

I take some shaky breaths. He is on the board for my school and helps make educational decisions. He continues. 

"Amelia, we are the Juliano clan. The most highly respected and powerful mafia clan in Spain. Bebita, se trata de una familia mafiosa. Eres mi angel querido bebe y  soy el capo de la mafia." (Babygirl, this is a mafia family. You are my dear baby angel and I am the boss of the mafia.)

***********************************

Hi there whattpadians, as you all have seen in this chapter some of the spoken language is not English. it is Spanish and for one reason only, the Juliano mafia clan is located in Spain as Skylars dad has informed us. so all the gibberish language most of you (unless you know Spanish) I have put the translations in the brackets beside all the Spanish parts. I was gunna put the translations at the bottom but that is a waste since most of you read on you phones and it'll be awkward and take too long. so for your convenience I will continue to place the English translations beside the Spanish.

thank you and  hope you enjoy my story.❤️
