A MAFIA LOVE STORY

The wedding.Kalia. Most girls dream of their wedding day, the gown they will wear, saying yes to the man of their dreams. Getting their fairytale endings. But I am not like most girls. I don't believe in fairy tales and I most certainly don't belive in till love do us part. But for my father I would do anything, he had sacrificed everything for me. I looked at my reflection in the mirror for the hundredth time, "You look so beautiful my princess." my dad said from the door. His health was taking a turn for the worse and it was starting to show in his face."Thank you dad. I wish mom was here." i said as he took me into his arms."She would have been so proud of you mia amors."We both stood there in silence for a while looking at how beautiful I looked in that dress. "You know you don't have to do this," my father started as tears freely fell down his face. "We could find another way.""There is no other way dad." i said turning around and taking his hands in mine. "I want to d

Broken TrustKalia. I stood by the large window, staring out at the sprawling city scape that glittered beneath me. The city had always been a symbol of my ambition, the place where I fought my whole adult life for my father to finally accept me as a suitable heir for his empire. But he had never really accepted me, I was no match for a boy. And a boy was all my father ever wanted. But funny how life had a weird way of working out. Now I was incharge of the company he never even wanted me to work for. I heard footsteps from the hallway, heavy footsteps I could just tell it was a man of a certain weight coming my way. And I knew exactly who it was, I had been anticipating him for the past one hour. I knew he had his men all over the city looking for me, but I knew he would eventually know where to come. "Was it all a lie?" Jake's voice was low, edged with disbelief and simmering anger. He said closing shut the door behind him, as if signaling me that I had no escape. I took a

Kalia. Flashback to parents death. I stood by the window for a while until I saw his car pull out of the parking, some part of my heart was hurt. I was feeling guilty, he was not wrong. I had used his emotions and vulnerability. But if he was in my shoes he would have done the same exact thing. He had been doing this to so many women over the years, just breaking hearts. I slowly sat back down in my chair and poured a glass of scotch, I needed it. I never imagined this is what my wedding day would look like.I took a few sips of the scotch, sitting back. The glass in my hand as I stated atot aimlessly. I had imagined how this was supposed to play out, but I never thought I would actually be sad about it. "I wish you were still here." i whispered holding back the tears as my mind drifted to a place I had buried for a very long time. A place I had avoided for so long and the reason I alwyas worked so hard just so I would not have to think about it. I remember waking up, it was c

Kalia. "What's going on? What's all the chaos about?" I asked still in my robe as I went down stairs. It had been almost a week since I laid eyes on Jake, I had figured he was spending time with his ex.But everyone was dressed in black, murmuring among each other. " What happened to Jake? " I asked Maria the house keeper, fear rushing through my body. "Is he okay?" I repeated shaking her fear in my eyes.That's when I saw him coming down the stairs, dressed in a black suit and some shades. Why was everyone dressed like they were going to a funeral, who died?Obviously no one was going to tell me so I walked over to him."What's going on Jake? Who died?""It's really none of your business Kalia, go back to your room." he said snubbing me."I have a right to know what's going on, I thought something bad happened to you." i said honestly following him."So I am supposed to believe all of a sudden you care about me?" Jake said laughing sarcastically, "won't that make you happy? You wi

"I feel like this is all my fault," I said tears freely falling down my eyes, "I should have kept my mouth shut like I promised. None of this would be happening. You wouldn't be in a hospital fighting for your life. Our family wouldn't be in shambles and broke." i said in tears. "I wish I could take it all back.""Hey, hey baby," my dad said touching my hand softly, "It's not your fault and it was wrong of your mom to ask you to live with that secret. You were a child.""But I tore us apart, mom left you.""Your mother had her own problems Kalia, eventually she would have left. It had nothing with you. And my drinking is not your fault at all and I don't want you to blame yourself. None of this is your fault."We sat there in silence, with us holding hands. It was my first day back in school, we went home early. I rushed home and there she was on the couch with the same man, they were naked, I wish I could erase that memory off my mind. I remember how shocked she looked, but she wasn
