Chapter 1
I moved around in my bed restless cursing the early sun, it was only five minutes past six yet somehow the sun wanted see the world. Angrily stripping off the sheets I made the bed before strolling to the shower block.
The shower was the only time I could think freely without anyone or anything disturbing me, there was a loud bang on the bathroom door. I jumped in surprise at the gesture, âBe down in ten minutes Sid,â Luke shouted.
Luke was my brother, actually scrap that he was the only person in the world I could call family, despite that I had a father alive who abused me all my life while my mother was buried ten feet under me. Unhappy thoughts came as I remembered how living with my father was like, usually it was lonely but then it became worst when heâd come at one in the morning demanding me to make him something then heâd hit me.
He wouldnât stop till I was crumbled on the floor sobbing my heart out at the pain, he hit me because I reminded him too much of my mother. Flopping on some pumps to go with my oversized jumped and dark blue denim jeans Luke had gotten for me recently, you see I ran away from my father looking like a hot mess and that was when Iâd met Luke.
He was the kindest, nicest and most loving person Iâve ever met â he had restored all the lost faith in me but yet his was gone. His fiancée had been taken by the mafia, since Luke was a part of it but wanted to settle down so he left but his adamant brother didnât like that one bit so he held his fiancée Sophie captive.
What I didnât understand was why they couldnât sort it out, pushing away the sour thoughts I raced down the stairs into the kitchen where Luke was cooking with some of his guy friends were around.
âMorning Sid,â he greeted me, the others acknowledging my presence greeted me but still hadnât warmed up to me yet, though I didnât expect them to I was just a loner who had been abused by her father.
Grabbing two plates I handed them to Luke who distributed out the food among the plates while I handed a plate each to everyone, down to the last two we both grabbed our own and sat to eat.
âThanks,â I told him lightly, Luke had never been that happy since Sophie had left and somehow I always blamed myself for no reason. Get a grip Sidney, I commanded at myself.
âLetâs go,â I slouched my bag over my shoulders following Luke out to the car. He had enrolled me in the nearby school, he encouraged me that I need to go and we agreed on it until I was eighteen.
Only a few more months till eighteen, I thought. The journey seemed silent but we were both comfortable in our own thoughts, it wasnât until when Luke started driving faster that I realised something was wrong.
âWhatâs wrong?â I questioned him, moving around in my seat I saw two cars chasing up from behind, both cars were black and looked faster than Lukeâs.
âItâs Daniel, heâs gotten his thugs to chase us,â Luke muttered, cursing some colourful words under his breath. Daniel is the Mafia we are talking about here people, the person who made otherâs life hell trust me he was one piece of work judging by the sound of that.
Luke served the car and it stopped sideways, âSHIT!â he growled, I could see Daniel leaning propped against the car, Luke got out and slammed the door shut making me jump.
âWhat the hell Daniel?â Luke was practically about to jump on him but I managed to get there in time to hold him back. Danielâs eyes bulged out of his sockets when he saw me. I somehow got a tight grip on Luke trying to keep him calm,
âIs she your new toy?â he questioned as he looked at me in disgust, I flinched at his menacing tone something told me it wasnât going to go down well with me.
âNo, whereâs Sophie?â Luke said in a strained voice, he was being pushed to his limits and neither boyâs were known for their patience that was for sure.
âTell you what,â Daniel smirked thoughtfully, âIâll give you back Sophie,â he paused, I saw Lukeâs face lit up happily while Daniel looked right at me in lust, âif you give me her.â He pointed directly at me; Luke looked torn between making decision while I just stood there shocked.
Luke seemed to be having a inner battle with himself while everything was silenced for five minutes, I spoke up, âFine,â Luke whipped his head round at me shocked, his face wearing a pained expression.
âWhereâs Sophie,â I asked boldly, Daniel signalled one of his men who tugged a young pretty looking woman out of the car all tied up with ropes, he let her go and she ran into Lukeâs arms. Tears stung my eyes but I blinked them back, itâs not too late to back out I told myself but this was more for Luke than it was for me. I didnât even know what Iâd gotten myself into but it couldnât be any worst than my dad. Right?
âWell then,â Daniel sniggered, âdo I need to tell you to come or does things need to get ugly,â he motioned to his gun. I shook my head, going back to the car I saw that everyone was tensed grabbing my bag which always had my personal things in it I walked away but Luke and Sophie stopped me.
âYou donât have to do this,â Luke whispered, I attempted a weak smile but it came out wrong. I gave them both a hug, congratulated them both and walked away from them both.
As I got closer to him, I could see the devilish look in his eyes that were telling me he was planning something evil. Staring at the ground, I stopped right in front of him waiting for something to happen.
âYou are mine to do with as pleased,â he sneered, the menacing look in his eyes told me this wasnât going to go as well as I first thought it would. What had I gotten myself into?
âYou will do as I say, be as I say and most importantly donât try to double cross me because itâll only cause you your life,â he growled, I nodded looking at the floor not being able to sum up the courage to face him.
He grabbed my chin roughly and shoved me closer to him, I shivered at his violent touch.
âLook at me when Iâm talking to you,â he growled, I slowly nodded but still couldnât manage to lift my head up and while in the process of trying a hard slapped whipped my right cheek sending me flying onto the ground.
âDo what I say or face the consequences,â I looked at him straight and nodded this time. Tears were leaking from my eyes, my hair was a mess and I was in no state to go to school not that I was though. I was pushed into the car where I sat at the back with Daniel, the driver drove to the address Daniel had handed him.
I inched away from him, not wanting to get any closer to him than I already was. I was on the edge of my seat practically pushed against the door not to mention frightened. I hadnât realise that I made a huge mistake, after being free from one abusive person from my life I had somehow gotten another controlling abusive one who was a mafia not to mention so this was one hell of a ride.
âWhere we going?â I asked meekly almost whispering but he heard, while my face was a mess Daniel showed no emotions. I had gotten no answer to my question; I sighed and leaned my head back against the seat.
âWhere getting married,â he replied smugly with an expressionless face, I guess this was one heartless man. I dawned on me that I was getting married to the mafia, someone I never asked to be married to and someone I didnât even love.
Right when he said those words I remember the vow my mother take me when she knew it was her final days, âSidney Grace Parker once you get married, you have to do everything and anything you can to accept it. Promise me,â I had given her that promise and now that she was dead I just couldnât deny it.
I was getting married to a mafia and I had no choice in the making, not to mention that I had vowed never to break the marriage which only meant one thing. I was stuck with Daniel Lockwood forever.
