Chapter 4
MARIANNE.
I stared at my mother in shock as I couldn't believe what she just uttered, how could she do this to me?
She doesn't even care about my feelings or how I'm going to cope with getting married to a guy that I know nothing about! I don't even know what he looks like or the kind of person he is.
I folded my fists angrily as I glared at my mother, I was pained to the core and wished I could just pounce on her right now.
The fact that she was smiling at me made me boil with immense anger,
"Cheer up baby girl, accept your new life, it's your engagement party today so you should at least be happy." She muttered and my eyes darted to the flower vase that was on the desk next to me. Without thinking twice, I grabbed the flower vase and threw it directly at my mother earning a loud gasp from Isabella who was standing beside the bed, my mother dodged it and it landed on one of the large doors shattering into pieces. "Do you think it's funny at all? I still wonder to date if you're truly my mother because I don't understand how you can be so self-centered! You don't care about my feelings or how I'm going to handle getting married to a man I've never met or seen before, to think that he is even the underboss of the D'Onofrio's' mafia family. All you care about is your stupid life, I'm sure you can even sell me just to stay alive, it's even equivalent to what you're doing to me right now!" I screamed madly at her.
She was too shocked to speak and just kept staring at me with a dropped jaw.
"What did you just try to do?"
"I tried to break your head since you're not thinking straight anymore! You fucking just told me about my engagement to an unknown guy a few hours ago. You couldn't even tell me earlier so I can be able to digest it, you brought me here against my own will just to satisfy your selfish desire. Why!!!" I screamed again.
I don't think I've ever gotten annoyed to this extent but this was the last straw.
"If I had told you earlier, you would have tried running away, you would never have agreed to come here willingly. Can't you understand the fact that I'm doing this for the both of us, our safety? I care about you too and don't want you to get wasted like a chicken, this is what your late father also wanted!" My mother fired back at me and I ruffled my hair.
"Fuck!!!" I screamed out frustratedly, this whole thing was driving me nuts.
"Let's not prolong this issue, Juliette! If you want to have peace, allow me to return back to Arizona. Life there is the best, I've got a best friend and a man I love so much! You can't subject me to a marriage like that, I won't accept it!" I pressed on and my mother let out a derisive laughter.
"My dear daughter, just forget you ever had a life in America and just accept your fate. There's no going back darling, and if you think you can ever try to escape, I'm sorry to dash your hopes because this place is heavily guarded. Just start a new life here with your husband to be, I'm sure you will never regret it. After all, you were born and brought up here in Italy. You're the consigliere's daughter so it makes sense if you're getting married to the underboss. Don't you even know you're very lucky to be getting married to the underboss of one of the strongest Mafia families in Italy? Don't you know the power and honor that entails that? Grow up and accept the fact that this is your destiny!" My mother's words got me so livid with anger, she is not even considerate with the usage of her words.
I'm never getting married to any under-boss or whatever! I never wanted to have anything to do with the Mafia world, that's the reason why I ran away from Italy to Arizona years ago to start and live a normal life. Life in the Mafia world is dangerous, I just hate it! I can't even imagine getting married to someone I feel nothing for or is marriage a joke to my mum?
It's a must that all members of a Mafia family must be ruthless and I wouldn't want that kind of man!
I just want to live happily, get married to the love of my life and raise a good family instead of getting confined here, I'm sure life here is going to be hell!

I must do everything within my power to return back, I didn't even get the chance to take any of my belongings.
Sophia and Oliver must be worried about my whereabouts already, I don't even have my phone with me.
What becomes of the job I newly acquired? I'm sure another job seeker would take my spot, I just need to return back, this place is not for me!
"First of all, can I have my phone?" I demanded,
"Don't worry, a new one will be given to you, there's no need to communicate with your friend or your lover anymore. You would make more friends and have the best romantic life with your husband." "Mum. You're the worst!" I spat in a fit of rage, placing emphasis on every single word.
Just then, two men walked in and their presence proceeded a very powerful aura. One looked very much older and the other looked like his son because I could spot the resemblance.
I couldn't deny the fact that the two of them looked breathtakingly handsome and the younger one looked hotter. I couldn't stop staring at the younger one, his physique and facial features are a ten out of ten. My eyes scanned him from head to toe till our eyes met, he had this cold look on his face that sent shivers down my spine, I immediately looked away.
Who were they?

"What's going on here?" The older man spoke up in an authoritative voice that was enough to make one shiver on the spot.
"I'm so sorry boss, I'm going to take care of it, don't worry at all, we are going to join you all in a bit." My mother said, smiling annoyingly before bowing slightly.
I stared at Isabella, she kept her eyes down.
Wait, could these two men be the boss and under-boss of the D'Onofrio mafia family?
My eyes widened at my realization and I watched the two men walk away.
If my guess was actually correct, why were they staring at me like shit? They couldn't even utter a single word of welcome, I hate them already, fuck their cuteness!
"You finally met Giovanni D'Onofrio and his son, the one whom you're getting married to." My mother revealed and my guess was actually correct.
Jeez! Am I getting married to the younger one who stared at me like he could put a bullet in my chest?
I'm so done for!
