"I love it, have you seen the upstairs?" Alex asks loving the new house. Especially his room. "I'm happy you like it" I say smiling as I look around the house. It's not done but all the basics are there. "Could you see yourself living here?" I ask, nervous he will say no. I really want my brother to move in with me."Are you kidding me I'm moving in today, it's amazing Lucy, you really have good taste" he says making me smile. "I know I do," I say, giving myself credit."I will find a few guards to protect us" Alex says and I nod. He's been doing so good taking fathers role in the mafia. He tells me so little about everything that he does just because he knows I'm having a lot going on. Alex has been trained to take over after father all his life so it's nothing new to him. I'm happy it hasn't changed him. He's not and will never be evil.Oh. Seth also asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes.It's weird, we have only known each other for two weeks. But when he asked I panicked and j
CHAPTER 1Lucy's povBEEP BEEP BEEP"SHUT THE FUCK UP" I scream as I throw my alarm across my room till I hear it shatter. Shit I have school ahhhhhhh kill me now...not literally cuz I'll stamp on your head:)...As I got up I went to my bathroom to do my usual routine yanno showering, shaving all that shit as I wrapped my fluffy towel around me I step out of the bathroom and headed to my closet to pick out my first day outfitI decided to go with a cute lil graphic t shirt which I tied in a knot with a pair of high waisted jean shorts ( outfit up top ^^) I straightened my hair and applied some lip gloss,mascara and my silver hoops earringsI'm not really a fan of makeup so I keep it simple but I thank my mum for blessing me with naturally thick eyebrowsAs I put my Nike Air Force 1's on I head downstairs and say good morning to my parents"Lucy" My mom says with a serious face "Yes mama?" I say with a confused face she calls "where are you going dressed like that?"Oh yes meet my over
Chapter 2We all walk to the dining table to eat.It's quiet. But not peaceful but rather scary.My father has a way of dealing with things and he takes it out on this family.It's usually me he abuses because I'm old enough to take it he says. My brother got a lot of hits when he was younger. But we never ever let him touch Juliet. I can't let him do that."Have you two been training?" he asked, pointing between me and Alex."Yes we have" Alex answers. We both need to train on our skills. I'm good with punches and Alex likes using the gun.We train since we are in the mafia. "I don't want you guys to be weak".he says, looking at me. Father has never seen me as the strong one. That makes him mad, everything I do for the most part makes him annoyed.We finished eating."Lucy, let's go upstairs and talk". Father said to me and Alex had a worried look on his face.I moved after him and we both moved to his office. He takes a seat behind his desk and I stand In front of him."What do you w
CHAPTER 3I wake up in extreme pain on my back. I go to the shower and the hot water burns my wounds. I put cream that makes the wounds heal faster.There are no bruises on my arm, only my back. Juliet gets inside and I pull my shirt over my head as fast as I can." Are you hurt?" She asks innocently, no why I'm fine, I tell her hugging her."But you were screaming last night". She said scared. Father and I were just fighting. I'm really fine, I tried to convince her and I think it worked. Because she nods and gets back to reading her book.I get ready for school. The place I feel so safe at. A place where my father can never get near me.I get out of the house and our car drives me to school. Jayden is the first person to greet me at school. But I won't let him hug me because of the sharp pain in my back.At the last lesson, I took it. my phone out,6 missed calls. My father has called me 6 times today. I panic. I ask Mr. Morgan.If I can get out of class because of a family crisis. He
CHAPTER 4The house is far away from where I live. The rest of the ride was quiet when we arrived there was an enormous mansion in front of me. A white one. And here I thought his house would be black too.He opens the door and steps in not holding it up for me, so the door almost slammed right on my face. I follow him up a big staircase and walk towards a door. "This is your room, get in and don't disturb me ever, "he said pointing at the door. I hate this man."Are we staying in separate rooms?" I ask not because I would want to stay with him but that's just for the thought. First of all, I thought he would be an old man."Did you have something else in mind?" he said and suddenly I felt embarrassed. "No of course not, I'm relieved actually," I say, folding my arms."You sleep where you want," he says and I nod as I enter the room.I don't want to get him angry. He could do anything at any time. And since he does hate me I should be careful.My room is cozy and it has a big bed in
Chapter 5It's been 1 week. I've never been bored all this my life. They got me a TV which I am very grateful for but watching Netflix all week I feel like I have wasted much time. The school has been the same, Jayden has talked to me once and I have not tried with them.My friend hasn't talked to me since the incident with Rexford and Jayden. They are all scared of him, and I get that I would be to I. I don't know who to blame. Like he has never known to be anything else. He was born into a family where he had no say in what he wanted. This is the only way he has ever known to be. I don't blame him for how he's become. But I hate the way he is talking to me. How he decided what I could do and not.At lunch, I go and sit beside a group of people I've never talked to but they seem nice." Why are you here? " one of the guys says. I look up to see who is talking. Tom from my class. "Shouldn't you be making your hubby dinner tonight" he teases, I gave him a disgusted look. How does school
It's been days and Rexford is having a party downstairs. He tells me I am not allowed to go down there. Apparently I'm not invited. Rude. I think for a while. What would he do if I went down? He already hates me and I hate him so fuck it. I'm going down. I put on a tight dress that shows my figure and let my hair down. I shake my head upside down then flip it back to give it some volume.I walk downstairs. There are a lot of people here. Dancing to the loud music. I spotted the table that had the drinks. I pick up one of the drinks and swallow the whole drink in seconds. I take another and do the same.When I take my third drink someone approaches me from the side. "Who told you you could have that," Rexford says. I laugh as I point at myself. "Me" I smile.I drink up my third but can't finish it before his hand drags it away from my mouth. "Hey that's mine" I tell him trying to take it back. "Get back to your room now, I told you to not come down" he sounds very serious. But it's li
I get into my room and my dress is hanging on my wardrobe. It's dark green and very long. It has a silky material and looks really good. The straps are made with diamonds and with it they have given me a silver bag to match the straps. The heels are really pretty too. Shiny.I get ready all day to look perfect. I put on my makeup then on with my dress. I look at myself in the mirror. I don't think I've ever felt prettier. I smile at myself in the mirror. The only thing now is to zip the dress.My hands won't reach my back. And I don't want anyone doing it for me. They will see the scars my father left me. I try again and again. Trying to reach the zipper."Fucking zipper" I shout getting annoyed."You need help with that?" Rexford says from behind me. How long has he been there? I nod and hesitate to move my hair. Hoping the dress covers my scars.He walks up behind me standing so very close. He puts his hand on the zipper but stops there. His eyes are staring at my back. Slowly his f
