CHAPTER 2

Aurora’s Point of View

“You are going to marry him”, he said and and I saw the woman beside him smiling widely at me like she was enjoying destroying my life. 

“Are you joking?”, I asked and as if on cue I laughed. But you can recognize the hint of aggravation in it.

“You know I'm not”, he said. Yeah, I know. Being the Mafia boss, his words are laws and I am not exempted from that. But why would he go this far?

“I am not going to marry him”, I said and I saw the changes in his expression. It was just minimal movement but it was still a dead face. 

The woman was stealing glances at me and this cruel man. I look at her with disgust.

“And you agreed with this?”, I saw her flinch but she tried to smile at me. 

“I–I thought you liked him”, she said and I can't help but to scoff. I can't believe this woman. Those eyes, her eyes is still the same. Pleading.

Until when? Until when do I have to do what they want? 

“I hate you”, I murmured and I made sure they heard that.

“I wish you were not my parents. I wish I wasn't born in this goddamn family”, I saw the woman's saddened face and what should I expect from that bastard? He didn't even falter. 

I walked out from his room trying to stop my emotions, it's flowing and I am afraid I might hurt someone.

Everyone who sees me is bowing while I'm passing through the hallways and I didn't mind that. I'm used to that anyway. 

I know that they were afraid of me, some are trembling and some are trying to distance themselves. They didn't even want to have contact with my eyes. Scaredy cats, and they have the guts to call themselves mafias?

I halted when I saw the newsflash on the tv hanging in the corner of the hallway. 

“She killed him”

“She's really cruel”

“One bullet? What a demon”

They instantly shut up when I look at them. How dare they talk behind my back? That man deserves to die. And the heck with them? They are mafias and they are surprised with that? That bastard should stop accepting newbies without experience.

I choose to go to the shooting area. I smiled bitterly. What? She thought I liked him? She's really crazy. I haven't even met that guy!

After three rounds I decided to go home but I stopped when I saw him with his guards and beside him was the woman I hated the most. 

She looks so classy wearing that red velvet fitted dress and white gloves like she doesn't want any dirt to come across from it. I smirk, those hands have already killed a hundreds of people.

“Where are you going, dear? We will eat outside, you should join us, my daughter”, she said smiling at me once again. I suddenly want to rip that mouth off of her. 

“Home. And no thanks”, I answered firmly and I turned my back to them to go to my car but I stopped when I heard him talk.

“You are going to marry him whether you like it or not. It is to tighten our relationship with them. Three months from now, I will announce you as my successor as well as your marriage”, he said. I bit my lip when I heard the car door shut.

Three months from now is my birthday. My 18th birthday.

Being a Mafia Boss isn't my dream and b*tch he should marry the Sandoval son himself! I will never tie myself to a person I don't really love!

I started the engine and I quickly stepped on the gas pedal before I maneuvered the steering wheel. I am so fed up with this life! I'm out!

***

When I reach our house I run fastly to my room. I didn't mind the guards and maids roaming the entire house. Home? Scratch that. This isn't my home, this is my cell.

I pulled out my phone when I received a massage. It's from the witch.

Daughter, meet Kis tomorrow at 8 am. I already reserved you guys from your favorite restaurant. Get to know each other hihi. And please, just do whatever your Dad told you. He was doing that for your sake okay? I love you. 

I throw my phone out of annoyance. For my sake?! She is joking right?! That is for their fvcking selves! And Kis? Wow! First name basis huh.  

That Kis Sandoval can wait for me until his eyes whitened.

I walk back and forth thinking how I should get out from this fvcking arranged marriage. Should I kill Kis Sandoval? I shake my head.

“My dad will surely kill me after that”

A smile forms into my lips when I think of something.

“Yeah, Xynthea. I should call her”, I opened the drawer and I picked up my private phone. The only contact you can find here is Xynthea Evans. My best friend.

I dialed her phone number but no one answered on the other line. Maybe she was busy. Nevermind, I will go there myself. 

I will run away. From that marriage, from this life, and from this family. 

I did what they wanted, everything. But marriage? I will gladly kill hundreds of their enemies than to tie a knot with a spoiled bastard.

I got a bag and I put everything I needed. Including disguise, money and other staff. I have to find a way without them knowing my plans.

No one in this family knows about Xynthea. Of course, I kept her away from them. I don't want her to be tangled with that cruel bastard and witch. After all, she is the only person I have and I trust her so much. 

I met her three years ago and I saved her from drunkard oldmans. After that, we became close until we became best of friends. But one thing she didn't know. That I came from the Mafia family and I, myself, is a Mafia.
