KATHERINE BELLONA.
"Where are everybody ?" I asked the man as his head was bowed still.
He too was in his suit with strong build and dusky skin tone. There are so many here. And I don't remember any of there names. I know I should not be like this , afterall I see their face more than I have seen my own father or others.
"They are in the lawn, ma'am" he replied in a go as I thanked him and left to go to lawn.
I walked forward towards the patio door. Passing by the hallway I finally spotted Mom , Eva and Liam at the courtyard.
"Good morning mum! " I greeted as I reached towards them. Mom passed me a glare. She have always hated me calling her mum. She believes it's for girls who are over enthusiastic for no reason.
Gulping back my words again I sat beside Eva. She waved at me as Liam came and sat beside me. I am the oldest child among three and then Eva who is 17 and 5 years younger than me and then Liam who's just 10.
"Mother , please let us go. It's been more than two weeks since we have stepped out of house. Please " Eva pleaded mom with the same reason she have been pissing her off often.
Eva is a tall , gorgeous and friendly girl. Among all of us three she holds the most guts to ever go against mom and dad. She has this beautiful face feature with sharp nose and v face with beautiful big mesmerising blue eyes and gorgeous long red hair.
"Stop it Mileva! How many times I have told you it's impossible until the Harvey's go back to there city!!" mom exclaimed and yelled at Eva.
"Mom but!!!" Eva tried to revolt but miserably failed when mom passed her a good glare that mostly send shiver down my spine. How come Eva still can sit unharmed. If she would have glared me with that eyes I must have cried till now.
" I'll take them aunt if you permit. " An familiar voice rang from behind us as we all looked up to see Aaron coming.
Aaron isn't our brother not our cousin but I always take him as our kin
He was more than brother to me. Ever since we have met each other he have always shadowed me. He have always acted and protected me as an elder brother. He was the child of one of the best man dad had in his group. When he passed away fighting for dad at one of the major war , dad took him as his own and raised him as his real son.
I and dad always have loved him and liked him but with no big such reason Mom , Eva and Liam despise him.
I tried to ask them what's the reason but they completely refuse to admit. While he have tried more than hundred times to gain the love of Mom , Eva and Liam.
Mom looked at him and then stared Eva who was now showing her puppy dog eyes to her. Sighing she finally agreed for us to go. As Liam and Eva jumped in happiness.
They must have been really tired.
Aaron came and sat beside me giving me his most appealing smile as I returned him with same enthusiasm but then I earned a not understanding glare from mom. As I returned to my normal face.
*****
It was already past lunched time when we finally came out of the mall. The roads weren't busy as they were few people in sight.
Eva was so happy that she jumped in excitement as we moved forward to have ice-cream after lunch. Even though there are buckets of ice-cream at home , Eva and Liam only like the ice cream of street vendors.
Liam ran as he caught a sight of an vender passing by us as Eva followed him while I and Aaron were walking behind them with each other.
" Did dad told you about Valentino Lucas? " Aaron asked me with guilt filled in his eyes.
Valentino Lucas an another cold arrogant and most dangerous mafia leader of Canadian mafia as well as he is the leader of Addrian famiglia . He is been defined for his ruthlessness and his cruelty from what far I've heard.
And he owns me.
I was just 16 when dad wrote me his for gaining power at Canada. As the farthest dad's hand have reached in this mafia family is just till New York and Chicago but for acquiring more he traded his own daughter.
It was heart breaking and it shattered me in the beginning but the passing time and moving world have made it fine. And even fighting for my disagreement doesn't concerns anyone so even my revolting wouldn't make any difference was so clear.
I don't even know where and when he found about me but what I've heard from dad discussing it with mom he first saw me at a ball room party held at Kalibi family's house. It was then when he found out about me and took interest that he in an flash registered me his.
In this six years I have never met him nor seen his face for real. Sometimes Eva tells me and gaves me updates about his life and lifestyle as she gets information about it. I have never cared about it though. But in this six years there are thousands of gifts he have send me with his men as to keep me reminded that I'm his. Christmas, new year's , thanks giving aren't a reason for him to give me gifts as he sends me something every week. A heavy necklaces , earnings single pendant necklaces , bracelets , big bouquets or diamond beaded dresses and shoes.
They are no enough counting how many gifts he have sended me for all this year's and I have nearly replied by even a card. I have tried many times to wrote one when dad and mom forced me but I don't know what to write to a stranger for a gifts I don't even know what symbolizes.
So often falling miserably they stopped to force me to write .
But the question Aaron asked me has much more big reason than imagining . As stated in the arangement when I turn 22 it's time for the marriage to take place and me becoming his.
And the question Aaron was for the fact that there isn't much time anymore and he'd be arriving any day here now.
" Yeah." I simply answer not with excitment nor with regret.
I could feel his guilty gaze on me as I kept staring on the ground.
We were lost in silence when we suddenly heard Eva's loud scream. We looked at the spot from where and why this scream came as we find Liam and Eva being clenched by mens in black suits. As a huge tall man with 5-10 other man was standing with a cream of ice-cream on his perfect greyish suit. With rage and anger filled in eyes. The wave of wrath from him can be sensed by a far as all the people on the street started to look at us in shock
