What would you do if you got an invitation in the mail for your own wedding? Not remembering anyone proposing, or you even saying yes. The worst part is there's no return address so whoever left this knows where I live. Better yet I don't recognize the groom's name. I once knew a Rocco but it's not the same last name he had in foster care. To make it more confusing it says this wedding is supposed to take place in a week. Well, screw whoever this person is because if they are for real, they're delusional. If it's a prank, then it's the worst one ever. My name is Dru Cooper, I've been a fighter my whole life, and I'm not about to lose everything I have worked for in my life just to have it torn away from me...

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? Read the story to find out;)Complete
