CHAPTER 40
#Bella’s P. O. V
I wait anxiously for The bell to ring so that I can get out of this hell. The clock seems to tick even slower as time goes by I pay no attention to the teacher as she continues to talk about who knows what.
Finally after what felt like ages the bell finally rings and I’m the first one to run out of class. And yes I literly ran out of there like a maniac.
“Hey! What’s chasing you?”Carly asks looking behind me for someone.
“Nobody I was just dying to get out of class

“You came home early”John says as I enter the house. I nod at him and went to my room. I change into my work out outfit and grab a water bottle from the fridge.
I walk to the work out room and I instantly head to the punching bag and start releasing all my anger into it.
I punch it imagining that its Bianca’s face and punch it till I’m left panting for air and sweat covers my whole body.
I lie down and try to catch my breath.
Finally after a while of relaxing I stood up and start walking to the door.
“ADRIAN I SAID NO”I hear my mom yell in absolute anger and I stop moving and peep through the door and yes I’m correct its my mother all right and she looks furious at my dad.
“Skylar calm down you’re pregnant remember”My dad says his face showing worry but that doesn’t seem to affect my mom.
“You wouldn’t even know I was pregnant if I didn’t tell you now shut up”My mother yells back.
“How could you even think of forcing our daughter to marry that monster all so our two families can be united.”My mother yells and at this moment she looks like a lioness defending her cub.
My slow brain takes a whole to process what she just said… wait daughter I’m the only daughter they have so…
“What!!”I yell opening the door and stepping out facing my father and standing side by side with my mom.
“You want me to do what now?”I ask placing my hands on my hips.
“Explain it to her since I’m overreacting”My mom says and she walks out still angry.
“Bella calm down”my dad says walking up to me and that just made me angry. How dare he tell me to calm down.
“What do you mean calm down?”I ask and I have never wanted to punch my father in the face so much.
“Honey let me explain”He says and I nod my head ‘yes’.
“The Russo family wants to attack us and its got help from the two powerful mafia families in the country.”He says and I nod my head to show him I’m listening.
“The only way to stop them is if we unite with the American Mafia so we can scare them away. Honey I wouldn’t ask you of this if i had another plan.”He says and I could feel my anger vanish.
“You will marry the American Mafia leader for a year and after that you’re free to rule the Italian mafia as the first female Don since your brother wants to rule your grandfather’s Russian mafia.”My dad explains and I am left speechless.
“Wait Alex wants to take over from grandpa Mitcheal?”I ask in shock.
“Yes. you will have my mafia. Please think about it while I go calm your mother down.”My dad says and he starts to leave.
“Dad! Is mom really pregnant?”I yell after him and he nods his head with a big a smile and I couldn’t help but return the smile. I’m gonna be a big sister.
I walk to my room and fall face first on my bed. I still have the decision of whether or not I’m gonna marry that guy.
If I do marry him I’ll spend one year of my life with a ruthless, arrogant, cocky bastard and I’m sure most of the year I’ll be trying not to murder him in his sleep. But if I don’t , our mafia will be attacked and my mother and the baby in her stomach might die all because I was too selfish to do this. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to my mom or anyone I love. For them I’d spend my whole life unhappy only if they were happy and what’s one year… piece of cake…
I slowly get up from bed and take a nice long shower to relax my nerves. after my shower I put on a knee length red dress that has long sleeves, I tie my hair in a side ponytail.
I lie on my bed looking at the ceiling debating what to do I’ve never had to make such an important decision In my whole life.
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
Someone knocks on my door and I reply with a simple ‘yes’ and I sit on my bed. My mother comes in and sits next to me on my bed.
“You know you don’t have to do this.” My mom says and I couldn’t help but smile.
“Mom if I don’t do it you all may die”I tell her trying not to think of my family dead.
“Honey if you really want to but just know something”She says as her eyes start to water and I could feel my eyes water as well.
“You are a Dante honey a princess and one day you’ll be a queen. You’re my daughter you have all my talents as well as my big mouth you are a queen now. Wear your bravery as your crown, your strength as a shield, your attitude and strong will as your weapon and your heart as a treasure that only a true king can fight for.”My mother says and she hugs me and I hug her too.
I now know what my decision is and I sure will stick to it.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Mom. I love you”I smile as I hug my dear loving mother.
