Chapter 6 The fight

The crowd yelled, I watched as the two men went fist to fist, it was horrible, I had never seen something like that, it’s like they didn’t care if they would die, they didn’t care if they would lose everything because they did what he wanted, as if they didn’t have kids of their own.

My eyes filled with tears when I turned to look at Adrain, who stood behind me with no emotions written all over his face.

“What’s wrong princess? Is this too much for you to handle? I told you, your father protected you from this, he protected you from that part of the mafia.” Adrian stated.

He never wanted me to rule, he never thought I had it in me and I guess he is right about that, I didn’t have it in me, everything scared me, it terrified me.

I glanced across the area.

“They are going to die Adrain, they don’t deserve to be punished for what I have done, and their families, you have to put a stop to this.” I breathed out.

I didn’t want to yell, I was too scared to yell, because I knew that, it was only going to make him even more angry, and I hated every part of it.

My breath hitches when I realize one of them fell to the ground, yet he was moving but for how long, how long before he loses his breath, before he bleeds out on the floor

My hands shook, my mind hazed with thoughts and my eyes filled with bitter tears.

“I am sorry okay, I am sorry I was rude to you, I am sorry I didn’t respect you, I am sorry what I did was wrong, I should have being better, I will always listen to you, I will not speak back when you talk to me, I won’t lock my doors anymore, I would always make sure it’s open, I will even not try to run away, just please tell them or stop, their kids don’t deserve this Adrian and please don’t do this,” I begged.

I didn’t care if I had to lick his feet, I would do it, because I know I would not be able to live with myself if anything bad was meant to happen, if a daughter loses her father, a wife loses her husband, I would never be happy.

Adrain’s eyes met mine and in a second, he placed his hand in the air, I didn’t hear the crowd cheer anymore, I didn’t hear the heavy breathing of anyone or the sounds of anyone fighting anymore.

“Now was that so hard princess?” He asked with a smile on his face. “I never wanted to do this but it was the only way to make you listen to me.” He breathed out and I am tempted to yell at him, yet I didn’t.

“You got what you want Adrian,” I whispered as a tear slipped out of my eyes, and I marched myself out of the house, even the soft breeze danced against my skin.

It felt like everything I wanted, it was cold, it made me feel good, it made me feel happy for a second, that I saved someone, Papa would be proud of what I have done.

“You are not my soldier, you don’t always have to do what I tell you to do.”

“Is that not the use of everything that happened?”  I asked as I walked further into the house, I didn’t want to speak to him all through the car ride and he didn’t even try to which was a good thing. “You made people want to kill each other because I didn’t listen to you, because I did something you didn’t like, and now I obey you, is that not what you always wanted?”

“I had to do something to keep you in line, the way you were behaving, it was starting to look horrible, it was starting to be like you will make a huge mistake, this is the mafia princess, it’s not your home, it’s. Or your father’s house, this is not where you will be disrespectful, what you did, if it were to another person, he would have you killed and do you know what your papa will do?” He asked as he stared at me.

No words escaped my lips.

“Your papa will not be able to do anything about it, because no matter what he does, it won’t change the fact that, the horrible thing he being carried out.”

“You have no idea what type of father he is, he will burn the world for me.”

“Yet you are here, away from him, don’t be mistaken, he will burn the world for you but if you start the fire, he may not be able to pull you out of it, if you are about to be my wife.”

“I will die before I become your wife Adrian.”

“It’s going to happen princess and for that, you have to learn to never or disrespectful to me or others.” He said and I rolled my eyes at him. “I am sure you have learnt your lesson and when you remember it, I need you to know you caused it.”

Without saying a word, I raced into my room, I didn’t lock the doors, I didn’t have it in me for another argument, and I didn’t have it in me to watch people try to kill each other.

I knew now I needed to find a new plan, a way to get him to hate me, a way to get him not what to be close to me or do anything with me, a way for him. To push me away without having to be the reason anyone dies because I can’t handle the thought of that.

Adrian won’t win, I will not be his wife and I will make sure of that, there are other ways I just have to think of it,
