We are what?

                                    

                                          
BELLA
I start laughing as a mad woman. This man is crazy. "Excuse me?" I ask as I wipe the fake tears that fall from my eyes. When I see his serious expression I stop laughing. "Oh- you're serious" I stutter. 
"Yes I am serious. And if you've stopped doing the dumb shit I would like to explain everything" he scolds and a scowl forms on my face. "Yes sir" I mock and he glares at me.
We walk to his office. I can feel a pit forming on my stomach. This sudden decision ? this was too rushed. Why would he do it?.
We enter his office and I sit on his chair. "Explain" I order in a deep voice imitating his. I internally laugh at this and stop it before I burst laughing out loud. 
"I told you everything about my father, right?. Well, you know he killed my sister with his whole speech of "Mafia over everything" and that shit and I took his mafia off him when I was 16 even though I wasn't legally grown up." he stops and I nod signaling him to continue.
He keeps pacing through the office from side to side with his hands on his pockets. 
"My father wants it back. He's threatening your life. It's not safe. We have to marry before he takes the mafia off me. You may ask why, it's really simple. If I don't marry then he will kind of prove that i'm not a good leader and that he needs one that has someone even though he killed my mother too." he pauses and I recall the events from this past two days. 
The death of my mother and my entire family and all in hands of my father. 
I start playing with my fingers as I feel tears forming on my eyes. I take a deep breath and glance at him only to notice that he was staring at me with a worry expression. "Keep going" I say. My voice breaking at the end of it. 
"We need to get married tomorrow. If his threats are true, and they always are, he'll be here in one day. So be ready tomorrow at nine in the morning because we need to hurry." he demands and my eyes widen. 
"B-but the preparation and all that things?" I worriedly ask. "I already took care of that, don't worry" 
I walk away, fear and nervousness running through my body. 
I enter my room and slam the door shut. 
I start pacing through all the room, not knowing how to feel. 
I've fallen for him and I don't even think he loves me, but in the mafia who cares about love? the only thing that matters are alliances. 
I take some clothes and strip. Walking into the shower I close the glass door and turn on the water. Each drop falling on my body burning every inch of it. 
I support my head on the wall and let off a breath I didn't know I was holding. 
I hear a knock but I ignore it and keep with the shower. Another knock goes off but I decide to ignore it too and then the bathroom door bursts open. 
"What the fuck, Francis!" I yell and he sighs. "I know that you don't want this, at least not rushed. I don't either. But it's for the ma-
Before he could keep talking I interrupt him. "Yeah yeah, the mafia blah blah blah. Whatever. Can you walk out?" I ask him and he shakes his head 'no'. My insecurities start filling my brain and I cover my body.
"Can't you see i'm naked, in the shower?" I state and he nods. 
"Yeah and?" he raises one eyebrow and I groan in annoyance. 
"Naked. In the shower." I smile and he just ignores it. 
"Whatever. Oh and I forgot to mention, you'll have to sleep on my room for appearances. Don't cuddling shit and anything. This is an alliance and that's it. I can't love you. It makes me weak. Ever since your rape, I haven't thought clearly. It's better if we keep it as an alliance" he says and with that he walks away leaving me as confused as always. 
"Love makes us stronger" I mumble. 
I turn off the shower and fit myself in some clothes and walk to bed.
