"Why aren't you back inside? I thought I told you to leave me alone!"
"It's so exhausting having to walk through everyone. I prefer to not be in parties."
"Then why be here?"
"Mr. Smith is my boss. I have to congratulate my friend's brother, Harold, marrying Ms. Lee."
Arla sighs and takes his heels off before continuing the conversation.
"How many woman has he been fooling around?"
"Not sure. However, I would like for you to stay here with me. He's here at the moment, so if he sees you, he'll definitely try to get his way with you." The man warns. Arla scoffed.
"Bastard! As if I'll be easy to get! My standards are pretty high, and as the best companion of Faith, I'll be the one to get her out of the wedding before she says yes!" He exclaims. The man sitting on the opposite side of the rose bush seemed to be interested in Arla.
"What's your name?"
"Belle Mathew. And you must be...?"
"Nakoa Maliah, delighted to make your acquaintance." Nakoa grins reaching his hand out to Arla.

"Say it again for me, love, 'You belong to me.'" "I-I belong t-to y-you" He whipped out a belt which made me scream in pain. "Don't you dare stutter, or you'll regret every syllable." I immediately nodded "You're my property." "I'm your property," I replied in a low, raspy voice while controlling my tears. "You're mine and only mine." "I'm yours and only yours." He smirked, closing the distance between us. "Good girl," he said, pulling me closer to his unyielding chest. "I don't like hitting you. Why do you do this huh?" I sobbed into his chest as he wiped away my tears and shook his head, caressing my wet cheeks with a voice filled with sad guilt. "But since you've made me angry. There has to be a punishment, so you don't repeat." "All I asked for was your loyalty, completely and utterly," he glared at me and his emotions shifted. He squeezed my cheek into a pout.

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. ----------- What happens when the stubborn and independent Katherine Lopez is forced into marriage? Was it all for alliance between two mafias like her father said? And how far will she go to break the arrangement before the wedding date? Will she kill to get what she wants?

Serena
I look at him with bewilderment. Emotion floods through me as he looks at me with boredom lacing his eyes. His entire body is calm as he leans against the brick walls and stares down at me. " Oh yeah? Then why did you ignore me today after that moment at the beach? " I say crossing my arms. " What fucking moment? We were all just having some fun.
