Chapter 2

"The suffocating aura he carried around himself wherever he goes feels like darkness itself followed him everywhere...now that I think about it, the way people instantly lowered their heads whenever he walked into a room make me want to puke right here and now, like what nonsense is all that for" Azzura said in her again again.

"He is a child for crying out loud and worst of all... I can't forget those terrifying eyes that looked completely emotionless but yet strangely observant" Azzura hated remembering all of these but she couldn't stop herself from taking in every of those details.

"It's enough Azzura, I wouldn't want to hear another word from you again regarding this matter, it has been decided already we are just informing you to have an idea about it and so anything else you have to say is not relevant" Mr. Tommaso screamed at Azzura with great power in his words as the glass in his hand cracked a little.

The room shook under the force in his voice that even the servants standing outside the office doors froze instantly at the great intensity packed in those words.

Azzura herself flinched as she unconsciously took two steps back "did I just flinch at my father's words" she asked herself.

"Father rarely shouted but when he does everyone no matter whom you are listened" Azzura said in her head as she bowed her head slightly from fear that her father raised his voice at her.

"Ohh darling take it easy on her she's just naive" Mrs. Gaia said in a soft voice as she tried pleading with her husband on Azzura's behalf.

"You should talk to your beloved daughter who doesn't see that we are working on creating a bright future for her" Mr Tommaso said in clear anger.

"I won't be quiet dad I am dead tired of how you all boss me around for crying out loud" Azzura spoke out suddenly as she fumes with anger already boiling in her body, her anger was clearly getting a hold of her already, clearly suppressing the fear she felt a few minutes ago.

Azzura's eyes had begun swelling with tears even though she refused to cry before her parent "I hate you both"

"How on earth do you expect me to get married to that wickedly dangerous family, a clan that does every despicable evil in the world tell me how" Azzura said.

"Is that not a show that you need me to be a slave in the guise of being a wife to a big fool who doesn't even know how to speak to a lady pfft never...never" Azzura said as she walks with anger towards the door to leave the room.

But before she could even get to the door "Azzura I hope you understand the rules that speaks against you leaving this room without I or your father's permission?" Mrs. Gaia stopped Azzura on her track with those words as two men in uniform entered the room immediately.

The huge guards dressed fully in black uniforms stepped into the office with very stiff expressions on their faces, these guys were not smiling at all.

Azzura slowly turned around seeing that these men were not joking with her at all and without delay shock flashed through her eyes immediately as it dawned on her that.

"You had guards outside the whole time?" she asked bitterly as she fixed her gaze on her parent but neither of them answered.

The silence itself became the answer she needed "I don't care about your rules or whatever, I have decided and it is final don't you get it?" Azzura shouted but noatter what it all fell on deaf ears.

"I see that you don't understand the situation you are in currently Azzura, let me make it clear to you that right now you are under my roof and as such you do as I say and nothing else will come against that, I don't care if you like it or not I have decided and that is final" Mr. Tommaso said as he stands up slowly from his chair.

Saying those words the atmosphere in the room instantly changed because Mr. Tommaso's height alone was intimidating enough, standing as 6ft2 he was a mini giant.

And combined with the cold authority in his eyes he suddenly looked every bit like the feared clan leader he truly was...the great Sil Lord of the Casa Sil.

Azzura unconsciously stepped backwards once again even though she has seen her father so many times in her years but seeing him in this state was entirely a different ball game.

"You know what, I guess it is better I send you off to the Ndranghetas family mansion. I think that way you will learn and fall in tune with your future husband" Mr. Tommaso said once more as he signals the men who had entered the room earlier.

Azzura's heart nearly stopped because she saw the signal clearly and without delays the men moved towards her.

"What is this, stop it please " Azzura said as she stepped back trying to escape the grip of the men but she was too late because they already had her firmly held in place.

"No!" Mrs. Gaia quickly interrupted.

"Wait" Mrs. Gaia stopped the men from taking Azzura away "darling you should not do that to your only daughter, I think the best shot right now is to have Francesco come to us instead you know our clan isn't the strongest and if I must say it is considered the weakest but we have for years had the backing of the Ndranghetas and that has covered us clearly" Ms. Gaia said as she stands up walking towards Mr. Tommaso.

Mr. Tommaso's jaw tightened as he closed his clenched his fingers into a ball, the truth in Gaia's words stung deeply and he really felt it.

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim.

My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger.
