Jennie
My heart raced as i walked down the hall leading to my fathers office,my footsteps were heavy and loud to let him know i was coming his way.
I slowly placed my hand on the door knob and turned it slowly,hesitant to walk in but i did it anyway.
I stood confidently infront of my father determined not to let him see my fear. "yes father?" I questioned strongly,standing infront of his wooden desk that filled half of the room.it had papers that were wet from him previously spilling his beer bottle,which he had also gathered a little pile in his room.The room was dim and his curtains were closed,not letting the sun light through.
The intimidation was seeping out of him,yet his back was facing to me as he spoke.
"You are my youngest child,and only daughter"he declared with a careless but demanding tone."You are going to get married to Manoban"My father put out his cigarette "to Lisa Manoban" he added as he turned his chair around to see my reaction.
My heart beat froze from just hearing the name Manoban as in the Manoban. "They own one of the biggest Mafia's father" i responded with fear in my voice.I didn't want to to marry someone because of their power,I want to marry someone who I loved and trusted.Someone who respect me and care for me.
"Exactly,you will meet her in a week,you will make a good impression or else you will be punished,understand?." my father hissed demandingly,gritting his teeth in anger.
The smell of alcohol filled the room.
He was drunk as usual,I shouldn't back my tears,trying not to let him see my weakness. "Be a goodgirl and leave your father alone" He grumbled turning his chair away from me. A tear rolled down my cheek i shut the door quietly.
I quickly wiped my tear away as i go down the hall.
I headed straight to my room,shutting the door behind me.I lay down on my bed,feeling overwhelmed by hopelessness and shock.I had mixed emotions,I didn't know this girl,What if Manoban could be abusive,aggressive,violent,loud or even worst like my own father.
Not to mention Manoban does not have the best reputation in the mafia.I could be stuck with a girl who's exactly like my father but a girl version and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Lost in my thoughts,I heard a light Knock on my door. "Jennie" my mother uttered softly before entering my room "Mama" I responded sadly as i frowned,finally letting the sadness consume me.
My mom wrapped her arms around me,trying to comfort me the best she could.
She rubbed my back soothingly so my eyes watered. "Your father told me today what he planning princess,i wouldn't have let him,if i'd known sooner" she tried to hold back the emotion on her voice. "I know" i sighed,hugging my mom tighter than before.
"You brothers are not going to be happy about this,especially Taehyung"My mom shook her head disappointedly,not able to make eye contact with me.
Taehyung was my oldest brother and surprisingly i get along with him the best.I have 4 other brothers so 5 brothers in total.Taehyung,Hanbin,Bobby,Jin and Hyunjin.We were all only a year apart. I'm 17,Hyunjin 18,Jin 19,Bobby 20,Hanbin 21,Taehyung 22.
Topping the list and being the heir to our mafia empire.
We were all half Korean/Spanish but my father had forbidden us from learning Spanish because he uses it to talk to his friends and mafia alliances so that we can't listen to the conversation and know his ideas unless he wanted us to.
"Anyways princess,come down and eat with your family,dinner is ready"my mom spoke calmly as she stroked a strand by my loose hair behind my ear.
She stood up and walked out;I followed my mom shortly after.
"hey jen" Taehyung cheered,hugging me before seeing the stains on my cheeks from the tears. " What's wrong?" Taehyung asked worriedly making all my other brothers stare at me."Nothing just a long day" I smiled reassuringly,sitting down at the table.I watched my father walk in with not a care in the world.
We all ate and everyone was talking about their day "So jenni,how was your day?"Hyunjin asked me.My father stared at me sternly while he cut his steak,his harsh look warning me not to tell them "Boring" all i can say with a small smile before cutting into my own steak awkwardly.They all blinked at me a couple times,but shrugged it off before going back to talking.
"I have an announcement"my fathers deep voice boomed from the top of the table grabbing our attention immediately.All my brothers immediately stopped talking instantly since it was one of my fathers many rules.
"Your sister is getting married soon"
He declared,standing his ground.I saw taehyung's face drop and suddenly become flooded with rage.
"Surely you can't be allowing this!" Taehyung jumped up angrily."Sit down boy,I haven't finished speaking" my father spat at taehyung causing him to slowly sit back down in fear.
"It was my decision" my father voice" echoed through the room. "She's only 17!" Hanbin slammed his fist on theL table in anger. "How can you allow this!?" taehyung yelled disgusted at mama. "she's the youngest of us all,you can't do this" taehyung pointed furiously at me while my mother tried to calm him down.I sat at the table quietly as i continued to eat my food.
The table was chaotic with the noise of my brothers as i stayed silent,not wanting to be punished.
"Stop" my father roared,scarin us all.
"I have a headache and i don't have time for this arguing,it's happening whether you boys agree with it or not." my father hissed at my brother through his gritted teeth,before walking out of the kitchen,My father never called my brothers men.I think he does it to belittle them.They're amazing men in my eyes.
Taehyung left the table and stormed out of the room,He was more upset about this than i was.
"You be careful" Bobby warned me,pointing his knife at me "Yes,I will be" i nodded reassuringly,trying to finally put this argument rest.I knew no one could change my fathers mind,he has always preferred the boys anyways.
"We have to go train jennie,we'll be back soon" jin got up from the table and patted my head as he walked by,making me smile slighly,Hyunjin,Hanbin and bobby following close behind jin.My hair was a mess by the time they had all finished patting my head.
I smiled and shook my head.they still treat me like a child.
"Your brother adore you" my mom spoke up,staring at the food on her plate with regret."Taehyung couldn't even look at me,he was so disgusted"my mother mumbled as her tear ran down her cheek."Mama it's okay,it's not your fault" I reassured her as i washed my own plate at the sink.
"He told me just before he told you,I was so angry but it was out of my power,i just hope you understnd" my mom strolled over me.
She brushed my hair out of my face with her hand. "I love you,my princess" she grabbed my face gently,planting a kiss on my cheek. "I love you too mama' i responded,trying not to cry. "You will be okay,do you understand?"
My mom raised her eyebrows at me questionably waiting for my respond.
i nodded before she pulled me into her arms.
"I don't want to go Mama" I finally admitted as she rubbed my back. " you can't be stuck in this house forever" my mom muttered to me.
"what about school?" I panicked as i stared worriedly at her "You still go to school,well,that's if Manoban allows you" my mom froze thinking of her.
Manoban had a cruel and no mercy reputation that has not been broken to this day. although i haven't heard anything in particular about her,It's like everyone in mafia knows who she is but she's still mysterious in a sense.
