Arabella's POV

"GET UP!" I managed to hear right before my head slammed the ground with a bang. I actually felt my head spin for the first time from a hit and tried to focus on my surroundings. Inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth and get the fuck up Arabella.

I saw mother running towards me which was a stupid move. I ducked right before she got to me which made her fly backward and fall. She jumped up without a problem.

"You fucking coward! Fight me!" I cleaned the blood leaking from my nose with my sleeve and looked up when my head stopped spinning.

If she wants to fight so bad let me give it to her.

I made my way up to her and grabbed her leg before it could land on my face. If it was someone else I would've broken it and she noticed my warning glare before I made her slam to the ground again and my hands found their way to her neck to a suffocating position before she tapped my arm harshly.

I won.

"I can't believe you're becoming a decent fighter. Almost brings a tear to my eye." I'm better than everyone on our team. Hell even in most gangs that are a threat to us but she refuses to acknowledge my even slightest success.

"I'm better than you," I said without thinking and earned a punch in the gut which made me lose my breath and fall to my knees. "Be careful who you're talking to. You're the worthless piece of shit, I'm your leader." She's not wrong. 19 years of living and I haven't come across a moment where she acted like a mother.

"Go shower and wear the dress in your bed, it should be there. I have a meeting and if it goes well you're going to be getting amazing news from me." She smirked. I wanted to slice it off her face. "With who?" She always tells me who she's meeting with instead of saying 'I have a meeting'.

"No one important. It's just Leonardo Rossi." I choked on the water I just took a sip from. "Leonardo as in Leonardo, the leader of the Demolas? Is the meeting about you selling your soul?" I asked aggressively.

I didn't give two shits about respect right now. The last thing I wanted was to be involved with the Demolas. They are powerful, smart... do I even need to explain. They don't have alibis. If you have a meeting with them it's either you're dead or you wish you were dead.

"Stop being an absolute idiot and get the fuck out of my face. You come directly to my office after you're ready and I'll share the news with you." The 'news' she's talking about is not exactly new. I knew she'd been hiding shit thinking she's slick. "yes mother."

I wore the dark blue skinny dress and waited for the people to finish my hair and makeup. I knew about the ball tonight. Mother usually has them arrange deals with good mafia leaders.

I knocked on the office door lightly and heard the approval before I opened the door and stepped in. I wanted to die here and now because mother had the biggest smile on her face and that only means I'm in deep shit.

She was wearing a dark red dress and light red lipstick that matched mine. "It's a shame you got your dad's useless ass genes and not my talented ones. You finally get your wish tomorrow and earn your ticket to get the fuck out of my warehouse and gang completely." I stumbled.

This is not good at all.

If I ever left it would be because I killed her and not because of.... her meeting. With Leonardo Rossi.

"I can almost hear the wires in your brain from overdriving. Today you're officially engaged with the devilman, Rex Elijah Rosetti himself." My purse dropped from my hand and I blinked.
