“Your Zio has arranged your marriage with the Sokolov Bratva's Pakhan and tomorrow is your engagement,” Nico Berbeiri’s words pierced through Rose' whole existence and shook her to the soul.

When she came to see her father, she thought he finally agreed to her request of joining university for further studies but instead he had fixed her marriage.

“Ma..marriage with a Russian, Papa?” Rose Barbieri questioned apprehensively as she was startled by her father's sudden changed decision. What about Dante? She always thought Dante would be her husband.

Nico’s eyes gleamed in excitement and happiness both as he stared at his beautiful daughter as if she was his most prized possession.

“Not to any Russian but to the Bratva Pakhan himself, girl. Vladimir Sokolov! A blood oath had been signed between your uncle Frencesco and councillor Boris Sokolov in the presence of Senator Jonathan Stone to make peace between us and fight off Mexicans. The oath demands the Berbeiri's daughter's hand for the Pakhan.”

Rose blinked a few times in confusion. A Berbeiri's daughter's hand for the Pakhan? “Papa, why is Zio not marrying his own daughter Valentina to him? She would have been more valued in this alliance, why me?”

Nico's eyes flashed in anger and the next second, a sharp slap landed on Rose's face. “You stupid girl! For once in life God is shining his grace over us and you want to handover your luck to Valentina!”

He moved and grabbed her jaw tightly making her gasp in pain. “Papa…” Rose cried out.

Nico fixed his daughter with a pointed stare. “You are getting engaged to Vladimir tomorrow and that's final!”

Rose' baby blue eyes shone with tears. “But…but Papa, was I not supposed to marry Dante? I thought…”

She winced when sharp pain cut through her arms as Nico tightened his hold on her arms bruisingly.

His eyes flashed dangerously. “What about Dante? He is merely a Captain’s son while Vladimir is one of the most powerful men in New York. You should be grateful that you will be crowned as his wife. A Mafia Head’s wife.”

Rose’s face paled as tears rolled down on her cheeks seeing her father's furious and greedy gaze. “Why did you take his name? Are you involved with him, Rose? Tell me, are you still pure?”

Rose flinched at his crude insinuation. Her face flushed as she tried to free herself out of his hold. “Papa, you are hurting me,” she wheezed out.

“Don't Papa me! I want an answer. Are you still pure, girl? Because if you are not, I swear to God I will kill you with my own hands. Have you been fucking Dante?”

“Nico!” Stephanie, Nico's wife who had been silently witnessing their interaction for a while, gasped at her husband's language towards their daughter while Rose remained standing like a frozen statue.

“Look what you are saying to her!”

He left Rose's arms and turned to his wife. “What? No mafia head would want a rotten good on his wedding night! Her virginity and beauty is what a Don wants. I do not want to lose this chance, Stephanie. Her marriage to Vladimir is going to make me equal to Francesco. I couldn't become the Don but my daughter will marry the one,” he snapped his eyes back to Rose.

“Spill, you stupid girl! Are you a Virgin or not?”

Rose, scared to death, nodded her head like a springed doll. “I…I am.”

Her words calmed Nico and he gave her a curt nod. “Now leave and start preparing for your engagement tomorrow!”

Crying silently, Rose sprinted to her room where her sixteen year old sister, Mia, was waiting for her.

“Is it true? Uncle Francesco and Papa are giving you to the Bratva Pakhan?”

Rose sniffed and blinked in surprise. “How do you know about it?”

Mia held her sister's arm, making her jump in pain. She looked at her sister's swollen arms with wide eyes. “Papa did this?”

Rose nodded and burst into tears as Mia pulled her into her arms.

“Rose, calm down and tell me, Do you even know who Vladimir Sokolov is?” Mia asked her sister carefully before pulling her to sit on the bed. Rose looked up and slowly shook her head in no.

“Damn girl! You are doomed then!”

“Wh..why?” Rose asked in fear, seeing the trouble on her sister’s face.

Mia inhaled sharply as she told her sister about the man she was being forced to marry. “Vladimir Sokolov, the Bratva’s pakhan was born in sin. He is a ruthless, scary and dangerous man, Rose. He is a walking Sinner in our mafia world. He killed his first wife in anger because she wanted to redecorate his room. No girl could stand his lethal personality and looks.”

Rose’ eyes widened in horror. “What are you saying? Who kills his wife for such a minor thing. Where have you been hearing all this rubbish?” Rose scolded Mia as panic slowly grasped her nerves. Mia rolled her eyes.

“Believe it or not, but I have my sources, Sis. Why else do you think Valentina denied marrying him and Zio gave you to that man?” Mia raised her eyebrows.

“Valentina? She was supposed to marry that Russian Boss?” Rose asked, stunned at the news. Mia was the youngest of them all but she was the busybody and messenger of the house who knows everything that goes in their family.

“Yes. But now you are promised to that man like a sacrificial lamb. Everyone is terrified of him, Rose. I have heard that he is a psychopath who kills people because He likes the smell of blood. He doesn't feel emotions.” Mia added to her pent up worries and terror.

Every word that was coming out of her sister's mouth was scaring her to the roots of her soul. “Now what should I do, Mia? I can't marry such a crude and dangerous man. I won't be able to live with him.” Ross whispered.

Mia thought about it for a moment and then spoke. “Call Dante.”

“What?” Rose asked exasperated. “Why should I call him? Have you lost your mind?”

“No, I am trying to save your ass. Call Dante and elope with him. That's the only way to save yourself from this horrible marriage!”

“No, I can't. Papa won't forgive me.” Rose shook her head frantically.

Mia gave her sister an ‘are you serious look’ before shaking her head as she pulled out her cell phone and called Dante herself.

“It’s your last chance to save yourself and get out of this stupid marriage deal and ugly fate. Think wisely, Rose. You want to enter into the Sinner’s hell or your bright future!” Mia’s words fell into Rose’s ears like a warning bell as she pondered over this idea of running away. But then a manly voice interrupted her reverie.

“Hello!”

Mia glanced at her sister before uttering the words. “Dante, Rose needs your help!”

.

.

Rose stood before the secret door of the mansion from where they used to sneak out in their childhood years.

“Mia, am I doing the right thing!” Rose asked umpteeth times to her sister, who rolled her eyes at her tensed features.

“Yes! Now don’t worry about anyone else and take care of yourself!” Mia said, pushing Rose towards the secret door. “Now leave before anyone sees you,”

Rose nodded and took a step ahead but turned to her sister and mouthed ‘I Love You’ before she left through the secret alley about which only the Barbieri family knew.

Mia silently closed the door and left right away before anyone could spot her there. She was sad that she wouldn't be able to see her sister for a while but happy too that her sister wouldn't have to marry a cruel and ugly man.

Rose apprehensively walked out of the dimly lit valley looking back every single second to check if anyone was following her.

But when she stepped into the street behind her house, she didn't feel any liberty but fear. Raw fear of being caught by her father's men.

She feared the consequences of her actions when her father found out about it.

‘Dammit? What am I even doing!’ her hands shook as she wiped the sweat beads from her forehead.

“Rose. You are here,” Dante's hushed voice snapped her back to the present. She looked at her left where she spotted Dante advancing toward her.

Pushing aside her troubled thoughts she gave him a faint smile. “Yes. I am.”

Dante Romani’s eyes gleamed in satisfaction and excitement. The man in whom she had a secret crush for years, her best friend.

“Oh Rose. I can't wait to be with you. Alone and away from everyone,” he said resting his hands on her shoulders. “I heard what cruelty your family was going to do to you, but I will protect you!”

Rose blinked seeing his eyes flashing, she didn't know what to respond except for giving him a small smile. “So where…where are we going? Have you found a hotel?”

Dante shook his head. “I will tell you but first, let's go from here. I do not want your guards to see us.”

Rose nodded and they both went to his car. Hand in hand! Like a couple.

Unaware of the fact that the pairs of hawk eyes were watching them like a Ghost.

    “Vlad,” Boris Sokolov called his son in anticipation who was reading a file in his hands. Vladimir Sokolov, the Bratva Pakhan was sitting behind the huge expensive desk with a black wooden slab adorned with many carvings of Snakes. His dominating aura filled the air with coldness and lack of empathy. Broadly, the whole office was a cold, calculating space that embodied Bratva Pakhan's complicated and philosophical personality. It was a place where lives were destroyed and deals were made. But today, Boris entered this office with a preposition which could change Vladimir’s life if He agreed to it. Vladimir raised his hazel green eyes from the file and fixed them on his father. “Otets,” He addressed in a firm calculated voice, “What are you doing here at this moment? Didn't you go to the meeting with Johnathan?” Vladimir asked with a pointed gaze as He supposed the meeting might be long. Boris gave his son a curt nod. “Yes, about that meeting,” a heavy sigh left his mouth,

    “Rose, They wouldn't have time to track us as the engagement is after a few hours from now on and by the time they realise your disappearance, they wouldn't have any choice but to put Valentina in your place. So don't stress out.” Rose nodded at Dante, she was relieved thinking she escaped from an unwanted union but her solace was short-lived. She screamed when suddenly a convoy of black SUV’s ambushed their car hard from the sides. Rose' head bumped against the window while Dante jerked ahead on the steering wheel only to be pulled back straight because of a seatbelt. “What the fuck!” Dante cursed loudly before he put the brakes and his car screeched ahead and came to an abrupt halt. “Dante, what is happening? Who…” her words were interrupted as the driver's door of the car ripped open and two men yanked Dante out of the car roughly. Rose's eyes froze in dread. “Dante!” she yelled. Her heart was pounding hard against her ribcage in fear. The door of her side ripped open too

Klaus Barbieri, the future Capo and son of Francesco’s eyes narrowed in anger. “Are we his puppets, Father? Who is he to change the course of this event alone? Shouldn't he have discussed it with us?”Klaus was the only one who cared for his cousin sister Rose because he knew how innocent she was for their world. And his family promised her to some ruthless Pakhan like a trophy before he could even return to the city and refuse this bloody proposal. ‘I understand your anger, Klaus but our hands are tied,” Frencesco commented, however Nico was eager for this alliance. “But I do not have any problem with it. What does it matter if we have a wedding instead of an engagement? In Fact, this is better for La Camorra too. Four hours are e

While Rose was scared to death as her mind kept painting the images of the upcoming wedding night. Oh dear God! What if He was too… “Stop it!” Vladimir hissed coldly, Rose jumped, startled. “Wha..what?” She asked finally daring to look at him. “Whatever you are thinking. Stop it. You look as if you are dying!” Rose looked down. The marriage was not less than a death sentence to her. She sighed in relief when the song ended and her father took her over. While Vladimir was joined by her mother. Stephanie Barbieri’s face was void of any expression. “I beg you, please treat my daughter right. She is too innocent for this world.” Vladimir fixed his mother-in-law with a stern gaze. “I know how innoce

    Sinner! Oh, isn’t that what He is! But why is it troubling to his little wife? Isn’t her own family filled with sins. Vladimir tilted his head in wonder.

But warning him with her own life, He realised how stupid of a wife He got for himself! It was the second day and second stunt she pulled over him. “Go on, Babochka! Let me see how proud Italian blood is!” His words were not less than a bitter taunt as He encouraged her with the wave of his hand but it startled Rose for a second. “Or Let me see how dramatic my little stupid wife can be!” He stepped further but Rose sensing He was provoking her, pressed the knife to her neck with faltered movement. “Look….I don’t want..” Vladimir moved with lightning speed and before she could even blink He swiftly snatched the knife out of her hand and flung it on the floor.

    Klaus froze for a moment and pulled away from her. “Not a virgin!” He said with a slow disgust filled voice. His eyes blazed with sudden raw fury. His upper lip snarled. “Oh! so that’s the reason why you eagerly agreed to this marriage. He gave me a tainted good!” Klaus gritted looking at her like she was some plague. Sila clenched her jaw tightly. Even though she didn’t expect any good from him but the hateful words he was speaking broke her soul into shreds. “I told you the truth. I do not care what you think about it.”“Well you should!” He sneered, with his eyes narrowed. “You won't bleed if I fuck you. What’s the point behind it now? A ruined good you are.”She fumed at the insult. “You want these sheets tainted with my blood right?” She asked, nodding towards the neatly laid white silk bedsheet on the king sized bed. “Don't fret!” She nodded. “It will taint it with my blood,” she whispered and Klaus' eyes narrowed further when he watched her walk to the bed. But what she did

    “The bedsheet you came to pick,” Sila answered without beating an eyelash. Jessica fumed. “You…” “Mom, You got what you came here for. Now leave. I need some privacy,” Klaus interrupted his mother and raked a hand on his face. Jessica blinked in surprise seeing her son disregarding her over this Russian girl. She pinched her lips and gave her son a curt nod. “Stephanie. Take the sheets off the bed,” she said, nodding at her. Stephanie’s eyes went to Sila who was standing there silently. She empathized with the girl and took off the bed sheet. The women left and Klaus turned to his wife with a sour look. “Get ready. Your father will be here for the white sheet tradition.” Sila blinked in surprise. “My father?” Klaus nodded. “Yes, Your father and your brothers.” Sila's insides curled at the news. “I do not want my father to see the sheets.” Klaus' eyebrows perked up. “Why?” He asked, taking a step forward, invading her personal space. “Is your father unaware of your

Sila sighed and whispered. “He is a child.” “Then he must grow up!” Vladimir curtly said and fixed her with a questioning gaze. “What happened, tell me. Did he do something?” “Sila, how the sheets..” Boris asked and looked away from her. Sila knew how uncomfortable her father was right now. She knew how furious her brothers were right now. But they needed to know. “The sheets…” “...were fake Boris,” Klaus Barbeiri’s voice from behind turned their heads towards him. Vladimir's hazel eyes narrowed at his brother-in-law.

    “Sila,” Boris pulled his daughter into a tight hug when he noticed the color she was wearing. Maroon! The dark bold color she loved and used to wear but stopped because of the tragedy she went through in life.“You look beautiful in this dress my dear girl,” Boris complimented her.Sila’s insides clenched at the compliment, her emotions conflicted between horror and moving out of those horrors. “I don't know why I bought it. It's just…” she stammered a little as she suddenly got conscious about her dress. “You look like my Sila, today. That old carefree girl who used to smile alot and live the life beautifully,” Boris said in a thick tone as his emotions chocked him. “That old Sila is no more alive, Otets,” she let out through the clenched throat. Boris could only stare at his daughter hearing her disheartening words. She heaved out a heavy breath and shook her head slightly while changing the subject. “Where is Vlad?” “With his wife. The girl came here without informing him.”

    The music buzzed through the crowded room. The soft lights flashing on the dance floor made it lively. However, among the revelry, one couple stood out. Vladimir and Rose. Others were enjoying the dancing and music, Vladimir was making sure his wife understands the consequences of crossing him.Rose forced herself to not let any painful expression come to her face. However, her husband’s bruising grip on her waist was making it hard for her to keep herself void of any expression. Gathering her courage, she gazed at him with teary eyes and begged him to not hurt her. However, her husband’s heart was made of stone. It wouldn't melt with a few tears or winces of pain. Rose' heart ached at his actions. She wanted to get away from him and go to someone who would treat her with respect, someone whose presence would calm her anxiety. Someone like Edward. Rose' eyes widened at the thought. Where did that come from? How could she even think like this about another man? She was married f

    “Enjoying yourself, Babochka?” Rose's heart skipped a beat before she slowly raised her paled face, hearing the voice of her husband. The former fear and anxiety returned with full force. Inhaling sharply, she turned around and came face to face with her sinner of a husband, The Pakhan of Sokolov Bratva and the gaze He sent her way, chilled her spine right away on the seat. Vladimir’s eyes coldly stared at his wife's pale features. Her trembling lips and wide eyes spoke volume about her treachery. Every beautiful thing is a deception, He repeated the quote in his mind on a repeated loop. His wife’s proximity with Hunter Farrel’s son sparks fury inside his veins. “Rose? Who is he?” Edward asked, resting his hand on her elbow softly when he saw how Rose stiffened seeing the man who effortlessly snatched the attention of few people around them. Vladimir's eyes flashed like a thunderbolt when another man touched his property. He took a step forward to rip Hunter’s son’s hand o

    Sila’s breath hitched in her throat as his firm arms wrapped around her upper body. Her heartbeat literally thudded in her ear and she was afraid he might hear it clearly. “Klaus, leave me!” She was relieved that she didn't stutter. She took a deep breath to calm her racing heart and collect her emotions. “As I told you you can't leave until I don't allow you?” He said, opening his eyes, his face calm and thick voice hoarse, left no room for discussion but Sila was Sila who loves to disobey him. “And who are you?” She demanded, “who are you to tell me this? First you jumped into my space and slept beside me and now ordering me around? What gave you the idea that I will follow your commands?”Klaus smiled. A charming smile which stirred her heart. He pulled her close, their faces apart from each other with only a mere inches. “I am your husband, Love. And I slept beside you because you were clutching my hand as if your life depended on it. So, I couldn't ignore my wife’s silent pl

    “You are so fucking sexy, Sila. Like a nymph, like a goddess.” His hands snaked around her waist as he yanked her body up and his mouth latched into her navel with his tongue stroking it gently while hands caressing her naked body all over. Sila’s breath stuck in her throat. “You wouldn’t forget this night, Baby. I promise you!” Saying this he ripped her panty apart. A startled gasp left by Sila’s mouth as she thrashed on the bed, hyperventilating. Her hands aimlessly moved around, to find something which could provide her some solace, anything. “Please….” She murmured. “Please….no…” she whimpered with closed eyes until a cold hand clutched her hand and pulled her into something hard yet warm. “Shhh.. let it go. You are safe now, Cara!” Sila stiffened, when the coast yet strong voice sang near her ear and her body slowly relaxed in the warm proximity of her saviour. She felt like him pulling her out of the dark abyss of her torment slowly as she clutched into his hand tightly. “S

    Kajio’s eyes locked on the Bratva Pakhan. For a moment, he was stunned to see him there, how the fuck they managed to invade his very private property about which nobody knew. But he controlled his emotions and grinned standing straight and presenting himself unfazed, as if he didn't give a damn about Vladimir Sokolov’s presence there. “I am surprised to see you here, Sinner,” Kajio grinned with his ugly yellow teeth, even though his eyes betrayed his confidence and showed a glimpse of unease which Vladimir read like an open book. “Did you come to meet me?”Instead, Vladimir briefly gazed at his men in the shaby warehouse. Eight! They were only eight. He took out a cigar from his cigar case, put it in his mouth and lit it using his lighter while gazing at his sideways. “You are failing miserably, Kajio.” He shook his head in disappointment. Kajio’s eyebrows curled together. “Failing at what?” He demanded, meeting Vladimir's eyes head on. The man was known for his cruelty but in fron

    “Why?” Rose’s curiosity cum fear couldn't help her to stop there but enquire further, “What wrong did she do to him that he…..killed her!” she licked her lips equally scared imagining that gruesome death given by her husband to the poor woman. Even though rumor spread around him killing her over a small mistake but Rose was suspicious about the whole scenario. Only a psychopath monster could do that to his wife. “Nothing big! She only…” “Rose….” Rose flinched back with the high-pitched voice and her attention turned behind Dmitry’s figure. Valentina with her boyfriend, Edward, sprinted towards them. Dmitry voluntarily stepped aside. “We will talk later!” He said lowly. Rose instantly collected herself and straightened. “I almost thought you wouldn't come today!” Valentina said as she grabbed her hand. “Hello, Rose!” Edward smiled at Rose who returned it hesitantly. “Come, I have something to share with you and we are already late for class.” Seeing Valentina’s exciteme

    “Brat?” Isaac's eyebrows curled together as he witnessed the brewing fury swirling in his brother’s eyes. “What do you want, Isaac?” Vladimir snapped as He took out a cigar from his cigar case and lit it while fixing his brother with a stern gaze. “You look furious.” Isaac mentioned, crossing his hands to his chest. “And smoking in the middle of the night. You only smoke in anger, especially at this moment in time.”“Isaac. Just fuck off. I am in no mood to chat.” Isaac wouldn't be Isaac if he accepted his brother's warning. “I think you should be with Rose, Brat. She might quell this….”“Shut the fuck up!” Vladimir bellowed at his brother, throwing the burning cigar on the floor and getting into his brother's face before pulling his collar. “Stop interfering in my fucking marriage. You, Otets and that little guest of ours. Why Everyone seem to be interested in my marriage? Go get a fucking life!” He jerked him away after lashing out. Little guest?

    “Dinner is ready,” Rose said to her husband who was sitting on the sofa elegantly like a king. He was holding a glass of liquor in his right hand while his one leg was crossed over the other.The dim light of the room made it hard for Rose to detect her husband's mood. “Are you hungry, Babochka?” Vladimir’s velvety deep voice penetrated her ears and Rose’ heart skipped a beat. “I…n..no. I am not hungry, Pakhan,” she stammered nervously when Vladimir uncrossed his legs and sat straight. She thought He was about to walk to her and that thought peaked her anxiety. “Good. So you wouldn't have any problem sitting with me here for a while,” He asked, nodding and Rose shook her head. “Sit with you?” Rose blinked in surprise. Even though the room was dimly illuminated she could feel his gaze intensely fixed on her. “Any problem?” Vladimir’s stern tone erupted goosebumps to her whole body. “No.”“Then what are you waiting for?
