A pawn in the game

Prologue.

Beverly POV:

"You will marry him and that is final Beverly." I nodded my head, tears begging to fall down my lids as I walked away from my father.

"Marco! Don't you dare speak to her like that!" My mother yelled at my father after he had just explained to me I was going to marry New York's top mafia leader, Blake fucking Knight.

I sprinted up to my bedroom faster than I ever have before. I've never been a daughter who rebels against her parents, but that idea doesn't seem too bad right now. After my sister had run away from the family to live her dreams of being a stripper, I was the only hope left. Well that is if my younger sister doesn't follow in Laura's footsteps.

Out of all people, they had to marry me to a fucking Knight. The one family known for abusing their wife's, have a long line of the cruelest killings, especially their eldest son, Blake Knight.

I grabbed my chair and slammed my body against it. I couldn't believe my father had agreed to have me marry this man. I had seen photograph after photograph of him with women. I'm 99% sure his sex tape for leaked with that one long term girlfriend, Amanda? Alissa? Georgina? Gabriella? I'm not even sure which one.

*Knock. Knock*

I shook my head and directed my attention to the door, however I continued to stair out to the hills. These would probably be my last couple of months here, considering the wedding date is two weeks after my 18th birthday. Father wanted me out of this house as soon as possible.

"Dinner is ready. Prepare yourself, Blake's father will be joining us. And wear something a little more revealing will you? Blake isnt marrying a nun now is he?" I could see my fathers reflection from the window. I simply rolled my eyes at his request. If revealing is what he wanted, that's what he was going to get.

I tossed out everything in my wardrobe. I wasn't always one to wear the most revealing outfits, considering my body didn't have the biggest breasts or ass, contrary to popular belief. I put on a black  tight dress, with a gold necklace and some rings. Roman, one of the soldiers knocked at my door calling for me, "Beverly, the Knight family has arrived." Family?

The entire family was here? Father said it was simply Blake's father showing up.
I lunged myself at the door hoping Roman hadn't departed yet. "Roman! WAIT!" I opened the door catching him at the perfect moment. "What is it Ms.Lanza?"

I shifted my weight between both of my feet. "His entire family is here?" I looked down as I asked the question. Not sure why I was so scared, it's not like I liked him.

"No Beverly, just the top tier chunk." I looked at him confusingly. I knew how the New York mafia had worked, after all they were the most powerful. There were 5 "families." I knew the Knights were the wealthiest and cruelest family, after all they were #1. Father needed this deal, which made sense, however why did I have to pay the sacrifice?

"So, Blake Knight is sitting in my dining room right this second?" Roman nodded his head and disappeared down the stairs. "Don't take too long, father won't like it." I knew it was more a warning than anything else. Wouldn't want to embarrass him, or else he'd punish me.

I fixed my dress and started to feel extremely nervous. Not necessarily because I was going to officially meet my new fiancé but because this deal meant everything to father.

I walked down the steps and I felt some wife's watch me as I descended down. I knew they were commenting on every single little imperfection. Why haven't my boobs flourished? Why was my ass still too small? Would Blake take one look at me and back out of the engagement?
