Jezzabelle Pov

"Jezzabelle calm down" Kesaia says sitting on my bed watching me pace back and forth in my room.

"How dare he?! I could deal with a lot of the shit he does in this house but a marriage contract?! Are you fucking kidding me?! What do I look like, some ancient antique waiting to be auctioned to the highest bidder?!" I snapped angrily pulling at my hair as Kesaia tried to calm me down.

"Maybe he was drunk"

"My father doesn't drink before the evening, you know that already" I rolled my eyes as she laughed.

"Who was the contract signed to? I mean, if he's a mafia dude maybe he's hot or something. It could be like those movies where your forced into a marriage and then poof you fell in love after arguing and having angry sex with each other" She gasps excitedly while I glared back at her.

"First of all, I hate those types of movies. And second of all, how could I fall in love with the Russian mafias leaders son?! The last time I heard about him, people were to scared to even say his name, even I don't even know his name for that reason" I groaned while sitting on my bed feeling irritated and angry.

"Did you sign the contract though?"

"No" I replied as Kesaia rubbed my forehead with a chuckle.

"I knew your stubborn ass would never sign something your father wants you to do"

"He was trying to force me to do it but I nagged him the whole night about how he ruined my life since I was a baby" I reply as she laughs,

"You a crazy bitch"

"Well this crazy bitch doesn't wanna be married to a crazy asshole no ones ever seen before"

"It's only his father that shows his face around but not his son? I'll take back the part where I said he might be hot" Kesaia snorts as we laughed together before the sound of knocking interrupted.

"Ladies, having fun as always?" My mother says walking into my room as I sat up with a smile.

"As you two may or may not remember , we are having our annual mafia ball tonight and both your fathers would like to see you two be ready before all the guests arrive" She says standing in front of us as I rolled my eyes.

"I forgot we still had those"

"Of course, you barely stay there the whole night before running back to your room to binge watch Orange is the new black on Netflix" Kesaia mutters as I snickered.

"I will be sending in the maids to bring your gowns of the evening you guys can choose from, and afterwards the maids will do your make up and hair" My mother continues before three maids walked through the door with a long selection of dresses on a metal clothing rack.

"Jezzabelle, a word?" My mother says gesturing me outside of the room as Kesaia looked through the dresses for her choice.

"Why is it that your father simply ask for one thing from you and already you embarrass him in front of one of the most powerful mafia leaders, and not only that but you refuse to marry his son who is equally as powerful as him?" She asks looking at me with a disbelief look.

"One thing? Are you kidding me? Not only is he asking me to marry some random man I don't even know, but he's forcing me to be with him without a single thought that he's letting his only child be taken by some man that nobody even knows or has seen before?! Do I not matter in this whole situation?!" I snap getting angry at the thought of them auctioning me off to some guy that could be an old pervert or something.
