The Devils Brides

Part 7

Mafia. What the fuck, why would anyone think mafia is a good idea, honestly the whole thing is confusing. Sage and Matteo convinced the assholes give me and hope our own room. How generous, the boys told us everything about our parents and who they were and the deal that went down when we were just babes, I'm chilling with hope in her room thinking about everything trying to process it all

"You know I thought they were joking at first"

"Hope you think everything is a joke"

We both laugh like the old time when everything was right in the world as the laughter dies down, we sit in a comfortable silents I start to think about home what things were like before this bomb shell dropped, I break the silence

"Wait if our parents were in the mafia that would mean their death wasn't an accident"

"You mean they were killed stab stab"

I laugh at her she always knows how to make a serious situation into a funny one

"More like bang bang but sure"

I was about to go more in depth about why or what they'd done to get themselves killed when there was a knock on the door

"It's open"

Hope yells, the door opens behind it was none other than Mateo and Sage they look from hope to me Sage blows out a sigh of relief and steps out of the room grabbing his phone out of his pocket before leaving. Mateo walks into the room

"I came to see how you were settling in"

Hope looks at him giving him a soft smile I knew Mateo was the Sage of the Sicilian mafia because they're both softies or cinnamon roll as I like to say and unfortunately, they are not the men we are supposed to marry the men we are to be wed to is Tom and Dominic which I dread but we were promised to them I have no say nether does hope

"Yeah, no I'm doing fine hayles? what about you"

Hope pulling me out of my thoughts how am I doing; not good! I'm an absolute mess, I'm getting married! No less I'm only 18 and I don't know the dude apart from his name and his occupation; mob boss

"As good as I can be. Hey is Sage okay I haven't seen his since he 'step outside'"

Mateo looks at me with a troubled expression he's hesitant to say why but does anyway

"let's just say Xavier was looking for you earlier in your room and you weren't there"

"So, they what freaked thinking I did a runner again"

He nods his head great I probably just pissed of a mafia underboss and the boss. wait why do I care, it me and what am I always saying; if you don't terrify people a little bit what's the point. And from what Mateo is telling me I scared the fuck outta Dominic and Xavier

"Oh, trust me Mateo if hayley was going to do a runner she'd make a scene first"

"Oh, fuck up hope that's not true"

Yes, it is we both know it's the truth, but Mateo doesn't need to know that Sage runs back into the room in a panic

"Mateo, we need to go emergency meeting, in the meantime you girls are on lockdown meaning don't leave this room till we say so. Sorry love"

I look at him with an absurd look, what does he mean lockdown and how long do we have stay here till someone comes to get us, they both leave closing the door behind them.

Locking it too.
