Forced love

ARRANGED MARRIAGE

"I will not marry anyone. I don't care if it's for alliance, because we both know we don't need it!" I hissed back. Our mafia was one of the most feared, if not the most. No one dared touch us, so why marry a man who cannot give us anything.

Before I got to speak up again my father slapped me right across the face. I gasped and put a hand to my cheek. My mouth stayed shut and I sat down in silence.

Neither my mother or my brother did or said anything. I wouldn't except them to, since they never did.

"I am your father and you will show me respect!" He demanded and sat back down.

My cheek ached and I knew it would leave a mark. One I would have to cover up later.

"But father, if you just tell me why," I tried and he cut me off again by picking up a fork and throwing it in my direction. He missed by a few inches only.

My mother stared blankly down at her plate, not wanting to show my father a reaction.

"Do not question me Katherine. You're leaving tomorrow" He said at last.
