Unpayed Matters

Prolouge

The Mafia was something you should never mess with. They would go after you just to get their way. And if you couldn't pay when they wanted you to, you were most likely to be killed. It was something your father found out the hard way.
Your parents watched your seven-year old self playing with the puppy you got today on your birthday. Being an only child has never been easy for you. You always wanted to go out to play with your neighbors, but your parents didn't allow it. You had no idea why. After a while you just accepted it. Now you had a new companion to play with.
Smiles were on your parents faces until the door bell rang. Your mom immediately called you over to her and Rylie, your bernese mountain puppy, strolled after you.
Your father opened the door and almost had a heart attack. Joe Ricciardo, Head of the European Mafia and his old boss, stood before him. A little boy held his hand with one of his own. The other held a little present.
" (Y/F) long time no see. I heard that a certain someone has a birthday party without her friends, so I thought we could drop by to bring a present. That's okay, right? As old friends." Joe lightly smiled in your direction as you felt your mother press you even more to her body. Your father nodded. "Yes of course. Come in."
Three other men walked in behind Joe and lounged at the doorway. Joe looked at the boy. "Daniel, don't you want to give (Y/N) the present we brought her?" The boy, Daniel, nodded at his father and walked up to you. Rylie jumped in front of you and quietly growled at Daniel, who's eyes widened. You moved away from you mother and softly pulled on the puppy's collar so she would calm down. He held his hands in front of him and you grabbed the present. You slowly started to rip
the wrapping paper so you could see what's inside. It was a little Ferrari F1 car to play with. You had always liked to watch it so you were really happy. Surprising not only Daniel but Joe and your dad al well you stormed forward to hug the boy in front of you. You took his hand and pulled him up the stairs to your room. Rylie followed you.
Joe turned to your parents after he heard the door of your room slam shut. "Let's get to business shall we?" He sat down on an armchair opposite to your parents on the couch. " (Y/F) you owe me 16 million dollar that I still haven't got back. Time is up. Either you pay now or we will have to do something else. Would be a shame if something happened to birthday girl, wouldn't it?" Your mother's eyes hardened. "So that's why you're here. I should have known. Can't we just drop the matter and move on. Joe that was years ago and you make double a day. I don't get your problem!" Your father put his hand over your mother's so she would be a bit calmer. He turned to Joe. "I don't have the money. Is there any way that I can repay you? I could work for you again or-""There is something actually. Daniel is going to take my place one day, but I know how busy this job can be. It is really hard to find a wife. So I suggest that after Daniel has taken over they will be married. After that you can consider this done." After a little while of silence your father nodded. "But you have to promise me something." Joe nodded and leant towards your father to hear him better.
"Promise me that you will treat her like a princess. She deserves the world."
" I promise."

I got inspired by Lewilca and her amazing book: Call me Isabella. I love to read it and I'm always so excited when new updates are published.
