"I think he's gay."Dad whispered to me, loud enough for all of us to hear. We laughed as Edward glared at us."No, I'm too busy with work to care about some stupid female." he replied.I 'awed' in disappointment and he turned his head away. Julian looked at him and sighed."Edward actually likes someone."Julian said.Everyone went quiet as Julian announced that and Edward stared at him with wide eyes. As if silently pleading for him to shut up."But she's taken." Julian said.We gave him depressed looks as he face palmed and glared at Julian, who curtly directed his attention away from his scowling brother."uhm uhm, may I have everyone's attention please?"Amlian spoke up, standing straight like a host would and turning around as all of us quieted down. Once the only sound in the room was of us breathing he followed with a quick 'thank you' and turned around, gesturing for someone to come out.I watched quietly as Ellen stepped out from behind the wall, her eyes were drawn to the floor as

"They definitely picked up on your habit of sneaking around."I squealed in surprise, slamming the file shut in the process and whipping around to my amused looking husband."I promise, It's not what it looks like."Copying Amlian's words, I sighed as he pulled me into a kiss in response. The kiss slowly heated up, forcing me to pull back for air, placing my forehead against his as I pecked his lips a few more times."Okay. I might've been sneaking around a little."He chuckled, standing up and lending me his hand before pulling me up alongside himself."Nothing to worry about love, besides, this isn't your first time in here."I gasped and my face colored as I remembered sneaking into his study a few months back and turning around to find him sitting on his seat, giving me an amused look... He didn't get much work done that night as he had followed my embarrassed self straight to the bedroom... nor did he get much sleep..."Y-yeah, did you see the boys?"He hummed, an alluring mischievo

Adriana ( Julian and Amrita 's Daughter) POV.I'm being sold off...that's the news that my father wants me to know after I just came back from boarding school."You sold me." I said sitting in a chair in the middle of his office. Mom was next to me but she didn't say a word. As if there was anything that could make this better.Not that she could anyway. I was going to be just like her. The perfect little mafia wife. It made me sick just thinking about it."I didn't sell you Adriana! This was going to happen. You have to get married for both of us to work together." My dad tried to reason with me but it wasn't working very well at the moment. Honestly this was all just a bunch of bull. Made me miss sitting in my math class...come to think of it could I go back to that? I may have hated that but hell anything was better then being told your being sold off."I can't be here right now." I got up and rushed out of his office. I felt like the walls around me were crashing in on me and that

"Shit." I said under my breath more to myself but he heard and he wasn't happy.He proceeded to get closer while I looked for an escape. I grabbed my moms empty glass and went to walk off but he cadged me in like a lost animal by putting both his arms now either side of me."Pretty plump lips like these shouldn't have words like them leaving." he uttered.I was stunned. I mean what the hell was I supposed to do."P-please step back." I requested.He smirked looking down at my body for a second before looking back up to my face."And this is all going to be mine." He said like I was something to be bought. It made me sick and wanted to smack his beautiful face all at the same time.He leaned closer to me and pushed me more into the bar as he reached over me to grab the bottle of whiskey that was behind the bar. How the hell did he know I was going for that! There were so many other bottles back there and he grabbed that one.He placed it on the bar and moved till his lips were right at my ear

Later that night we were all at the 2nd club of the night. How the hell we got there I will never know. All I know was me and Eric we're together dancing. He had his arms around my waist and mine around his neck.I felt his lips on my neck and I leaned my head back letting him in. I don't know what came over me but I was suddenly ok with this."God Adriana." He sighed Into my neck pulling me closer as we danced."I-I-" before I could even get words out of my mouth Eric was being pulled from me.I watched as he was punched and thrown to the floor fast."ERIC!" I went to go for him but my body was grabbed. I turned fast to see the guy that had punched him was none other then the asshole himself.IT'S COLTON."LET ME GO!" I yelled.Everyone had started to watch at us like we were crazy. Colton holding me back totally ."SISTER!" I turned to see Amlian running to me and before I knew what was happening Colton pulled a gun out putting it to him.If I had to think of the worst thing to happen in my
