LOGINSierra's POV
I ran to my room in tears"Sierra, please open the door"my mother said while knocking on my door heavily.
"I am fine mum,just ,just go away please?" I said back to her half sobbing half talking."You don't need to worry baby, I will go talk to your father, I Will not let you get married to that Devil" my mum said.
I sobbed even more knowing there is nothing my mother can do about the marriage alliance and we both know it. She was equally as shocked as I was when my father told us both who I was getting married to, him not telling her beforehand showed that he didn't want her opinion on the matter.
My heart broke for my mother, Juliana , but broke for myself even more, I will be getting married to the devil himself just two weeks from now, and I just wish I had more time to prepare myself for it even though no amount of time could prepare me for being with him.
Lucas Luciano,my husband to be is even much worse and scary than his father Vincent is. It is rumoured that he did not live with his father as he grew up, I mean that should have made him more humane right? but no, it made him much more worse. He had once killed a man at a wedding ceremony, right in front of me. Infront of more than hundreds of people without batting an eye.We all know that the men in the family kill but not in front of their wives and children at a wedding ceremony at that .
FLASHBACK.
It was the marriage between the Salvatore and the Bonanno family, my father had tried to marry me into the Salvatore family but they had declined saying that their son wasn't interested in marriage any time soon which was a lie because we received an invitation to their wedding a month later.
After the marriage oath was taken, the men of the five families was gathered around a table with Vincent at the top of the table.
The remaining guests were mostly women and we were chatting until we heard a table being banged, we all faced their direction knowing it could all turn pretty bad
"SIT. BACK. DOWN" a ravishing drop dead gorgeous man said through gritted teeth,he looked stunning as hell,even as he was positioned on the chair,I could tell that he was a very tall man. He looked furious with his eyes darkened as he talked to another man. "Who is that" I heard a woman across me whispering to each other."That is Lucas Luciano,he is going to be the new Don" another woman replied her.
"I heard he is a very brutal man from my husband,who dares to disobey him" she continued.
"You do not ta... ahhhhhhhhhh" the man stopped talking and screamed. Lucas had stand and stabbed him in the eye with a cutlery"I TOLD YOU TO SIT THE FUCK DOWN" he said .He then took his gun from his pant and shot him through the second eye,making the man collapse on his chair,
he then smiled and said "now you look better on the chair with your mouth shut".Everything quickly turned into chaos,women screaming, children crying,everyone running for their life,the place turned I to shit hole. Then in about five minutes, everywhere was silent,with no one in the hall except for the men talking business as if nothing had happened and me,I was glued to the chair not aware of my surrounding,I could only focus on his face and think about how he could smile after taking a man's life.
My phone vibrated on my hand, snapping me away from my thought. I hurriedly left the hall and went home. He killed a man in front of more than a hundred people and it didn't even faze him."He must have done a lot more worse." I thought to myself then.
FLASHBACK ENDS
"Sierra, open the door "
"What is wrong,why are you crying mum?" Penelope asked across the room.
I opened the door and ran to my sister, hugging her tight and crying and wailing on her shoulder.
"Mum,you can leave" I sniffed "don't worry about me,I will be fine" I said to my mother. She left a few seconds after contemplating.
"Why are you crying "my sister asked holding my face.
"Let us go into my room"I said to her.I sat her down and told her everything my father had told me and my mother,she looked at me with shock in her eyes.
"You are getting married? in just two weeks"she asked "to Lucas Luciano?"
"Yes" I told her
"To the same Lucas Luciano ".I did not respond to her this time.
"No, you cannot get married to him, he he is dangerous, he kills people like he drinks water, you cannot marry someone like him, and, Oh my God " She said covering her mouth with her hand and started crying.
"The rumour about his father and their family, they might harm you and ,I can't let you may someone like him" she said"why would you marry a man like him?"
'Do you think I want to marry him? do I have any other choice than to marry him, and you are here telling me I cannot marry him like I have control over who I marry "I said outrageously.
"I'm sorry, I just don't know what to do, I don't want to lose you"she said.
"Get out" I said silently"just let me be" I whispered
"what?" she said."Just leave my room, I want to be alone"I said to her.
"What"she looked at me with welling eyes. "you want me to leave your room" she said. "I just want to be alone right now" I told her. My sister left my room crying.Sierra POV I almost ran after Stephen when I remembered I had to behave properly and just started walking a little faster. “Wait” I said as I grabbed his hand. “I’m sorry,I know I should not have accused you like that,I’m just paranoid,I’m sorry,okay,please” I said putting on my most pitiful facial expression. “It’s fine”he said. “I mean it,I’m so sorry” I said again. “Apology accepted,you know I can’t stay angry at you for so long” he said. I breathed a sigh of relief. “Now we have to go before your father starts looking for you”he said. “Okay”I said hyperventilating. “Calm down,he won’t do anything to you here,too many eyes are present,he probably wants to tell you to go talk to Lucas” Stephen said reassuring me. “Okay,thank you”I said to him as we walk toward where my father was situated “for telling about what this is all about “ I thanked him. “It’s nothing “he said. “It’s not nothing,now I know exactly what I have to do” I told him. “Anyth
Sierra POV “Maybe,maybe not,I just want this to end quickly so I can go home “ I told Mia. “Uhhmmm, give me few seconds i need to go meet Leo”. Mia said. “Okay,no problem “I said to her. I spot Stephen approaching me when I moved towards him ,he is one of my father’s bodyguard and the only one I like. “Hey Stephen,how is it going”I asked him smiling widely. Smiling widely, oh my goodness,I am drunk ,I should have listened to Mia’s advice. “You look flushed” Stephen said looking around. “Are you drunk” he asked me seriously. “No,I’m not” I told him a little drunkenly. “What is wrong with you,you know how important this event is to your father”he said angrily. That sobered me up. I know Stephen is not angry at me,just reminding me why I’m doing this in the first place. Stephen’s father was one on my father’s best friend before he died. My father took Stephen in and he has been with us ever since. He has always been my asssigned bodyguard wheneve
Sierra POV "it's because he has a child" A familiar voice said. Lucy. "What"the other lady responded. "My mind went blank,I could not believe my ears. "He is only marrying her because he needs someone to take care of his child"Lucy talked arrogantly. "How do you know he has a child "one of them asked her. "Does that even matter" lady two answered lady one. "Why else do you think Lucas Luciano will marry Sierra"Lucy said arrogantly. "That is true,her family's business is basically going bankrupt and Sierra is not even that beautiful " Lady one said. "Maybe he likes fat girls"Lady two said. Lucy snickered. "He definitely doesn't like fat girls,you know,he would have gotten married to me but he said that he doesn't want me taking care of his illegitimate son " she said. "So she is going to be just a nanny for his son"Last two said mockingly. They all burst into laughter. I could not hold my anger in anymore. "She does look like a nanny"she said.
Sierra POV As I stepped through the heavy oak door into the hall, I felt like I’d walked directly into a midsummer dream,I was astounded by how big and ethereal the hall was. The room didn’t just look expensive,it looked like a dream someone had spent a fortune to make real. Every corner of the hall hum with the low, elegant murmur of the crowd. I had been to busy to check out the surrounding of the venue but the inside is definitely made of money. There were at least a hundred to two hundred people in the hall. And everybody head turned towards me the moment I enter the hall. I was frozen to where I was feeling everyone gaze on me,some women looked at me with pity,some smiling at me,some with envy wishing they were in my position,I mean,who doesn't want to get married to the Don. Some men look at me with no emotion in their eyes,some with admiration,but most of them look at me like they already stripped me naked with their eyes. I encounter a lot of men like them and
Sierra's POV I headed towards the dressing room with my sister to get my hair and make up done. As I was almost done, my father entered the room. "Are you not done yet, we need to go, people are already arriving there"He said angrily. "We are done,just give us a few minutes we will come join you"I told him. "We are done"my stylist said few minutes after my father left. "You look really pretty "my sister said to me I looked into the mirror and I looked like a goddess,my dark under eye gone,my puffy face now looking slimmer. I wore a tight light pink silky dress with burgundy purse and heels to complement the dress. I loved the way the dress accentuated my thick body.The dress was tight and outlined my shape. But I just did not like the fact that I was dressed so beautifully just so a man I do not know can take a liking to me. "Thank you" I said to the stylist and she smiled back at me. My sister and I went downstairs to join my father and mother in the
LUCAS LUCIANO "You need to get married" My father,the former don of the Bratva said to me "quickly". I have just taken over as the leader of the bratva from my father. "Why should I?" I asked him. "You know why,you need to get all of the syndicate on your side after what you pulled at the Bovanno marriage,most of them are hesitant to accept you as the Don" He said to me. "You could have dealt with him later by the way,out of preying eyes "he said. "He challenged my authority and I had let them all know what happens when my authority is being questioned " I told him. "Fine,but,you do need to get married for things to go on smoothly"He said to me. "I don't,if they are not going to accept me as their new Don,I just have to make an example of one of them" I said. "No,you are not going to do that "He said assertively. I did not know my parents well as a child but I look up to them especially my father as a Don. And I know that when he uses that tone,he is not g
