MAFIA STEPBROTHERS

Chapter 01- Meeting

'A person's past may make he/she stronger or vulnerable'

Rona's POV
I stared at the man in front of me in shock.

Like what the hell?!!

Fiance?

Marriage?

Don't blame me. If you were in the same situation you would have been more than shocked.

Well let's do a rewind.

****
I helped mom bring out the freshly baked cupcakes.

"They smell heavenly Rona..." mom said smiling.

"Of course they do after all I made them..." I said proudly.

"Yeah... Yeah whatever" she rolled her eyes.

Just then we heard the bell ring indicating someone just came into our cafe.

"Go check up on the customer dear..." mom said cleaning up our mess.

I sighed taking off my apron. I walked to the counter to see a middle aged man but handsome man.

"Welcome to Dazzling's Cafe" I said putting on my infamous fake smile.

I mean no one deserves my sincerity.

Especially men.

"You must be Rona...?" he said in a cold but soft voice.

"Uh... Yes?" I was confused.

Just then mom came out of the kitchen and when she did-

"Oh my! Honey what are you doing here?!" she squealed running into his embrace.

"Wanted to check on you dear..." he said softly.

"Oh sweet..." she giggled.

I felt like I was in a k-drama. They acted like I wasn't in their midst.

"Ahem! I'm still here you know?" I said with raised brows.

"Oh... Ah... Umm... Rona this is Kim Dong Wook my fiance... I'm getting married" she said with a sad smile on her face noticing my stiffness.

And yes we're back to how I stared at the man.

"Rona dear..."

"..." I was furious but I held it in.

Why the hell am I still standing here?

"Rona-"

"I'll just go out for a while... This is too much to take in..." I excused myself and walked out of the cafe.

Author's POV
Bo-Ah sighed and sat down with Dong Wook on a chair.

He squeezed her hands.

"I don't know what else to do honey... She's still overwhelmed with the past..."

"I promise... I'll make sure she's back to her old self." he said trying to comfort her.

"But what if she doesn't approve of us... Well she already doesn't..."

She said worriedly.

"Then I'll make her accept me." he was determined to win over his daughter to be.

Meanwhile,

Rona was sitting on a bench near the cafe.

Taking in heavy breaths she tries not to scream loud.

"You can let it out..." a voice says.

She looks up to see a handsome young man probably a few years older than her.
