This is dark mafia's story....
The dark world with so many secrets and unanswered questions.
She had no idea what she gonna face she when attended her...
I looked in the mirror, giving a nod to myself when I was pleased with how I looked. I was wearing a long black silk dress with long sleeves , the front was a deep- v neckline that showed quite a bit of my cleavage. The dress was tight from the top and got a little loose from the hips as there was a long split on the right side, stopping mid-thigh. I finished the look with a pair of open-toe black stilettos with straps around the ankle. I did a simple brown smokey eye which complimented my honey brown eyes and wore green lensed which I am obsessed with and had them look a bit cat-like. I decided to let my long curly and heavy brown hair be as it was, but with a pretty and shiny hair clip to lift some of the hair away from my face on the right side.
I continued to fiddle with my hands.My body was filled with nervousness.
"Get it together, what's the worst that can happen?" I asked myself, building up the courage to leave my hotel room. The worst that could happen was my father being angry at me for showing up and throwing me out.....My eyes widened and my face paled. I hadn't actually thought that was a possibility until now. I quickly shoved that thought away. I was here for Tessa, not him, and there was no way I would let that stop me from attending her engagement party.
I have always been close to Tessa as we basically grew up together in the same household since both of our fathers were running a business together. Long story short, I found out my father and Uncle were running a Mafia, and since they would always be busy, Tessa spent time with me and my mother. Sadly, Tessa's mother died during her birth, and my mother raised Tessa as if she were her own daughter. Aside from that, we were a happy family.
Or so I thought.
There was something you didn't notice as a kid because, well, you were busy being a kid, right? Geotano, my father, was always a busy man, but he did remember to spend time with me occasionally, not as often as I would have liked, but it was better than nothing. Then, as usual, Tessa and I were nosy and tried to eavesdrop on my parents because it sounded like they were fighting. We had crept down the steps to get a closer look and listen to what was going on, but we couldn't hear anything.But what happened next shocked us both, and had our jaw dropping.My mother, Jessica, slapped the fuck out of my father that night. We remained still, stunned by what had just happened, before running back to our shared room and pretending to be asleep so we wouldn't be caught snooping.
The next day, my mother had our bags packed and we left. I remember crying so hard because Tessa wasn't coming with us. My mother tried to take her with us, but Uncle refused to let her go. It pained my mother to leave Tessa behind and I was sure she had her reasons to leave my father. However, the reason for that was still unknown.
My father and I didn't stay in touch after that even though I tried to call him because i missed him, but he never once called me back. He then changed his number, and I got the message.
We moved to Ireland, while my father stayed in California. I got to meet up with Tessa whenever it was possible, but it did get more difficult for her to leave the house the older she got because her father became strict as hell. And became a parent from hell.
Uncle was always intoxicated with alcohol and drugs. A very dangerous mixture that made him insane and abused Tessa. The minute I knew what was happening with her, I told her I was coming to get her out of there, but she begged me not to and said it would do more harm than good. I couldn't understand what she meant by it and my heart dropped when she said her father wouldn't hesitate to kill her if she tried to run away. I couldn't do anything but stay put as I feared for her life.
Well, to say that I was nervous to be around them all for the first time in forever, was an understatement. I didn't know what to expect and kept thinking about how my father would react to seeing me after so long.
"...Don't get sick." I whispered to myself and took a deep breath. I felt nauseous but I couldn't risk throwing up, especially now that I was all dressed up.
"Let's go." I sighed, finally made my way down to the lobby.
Tessa made sure to send a car to my hotel to escort me to the mansion. My old home. My heart started to beat a little faster at the thought of being there after so long. My father got himself a new wife not long after we left, and even has a son. Not biologically as it was from his wife's previous marriage, but he treated him like his own. I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother the shit out of me because he treated someone else more like his own than me.
Tessa instantly spilled the tea and said my father had totally downgraded. She said I would see what she meant when I got there, and I was prepared to give the stink eye to whoever my father ended up marrying.
On the elevator ride down to the lobby, I felt myself getting more nervous and my hands fidgeted around the little gift box I had with me. It felt like my stomach was in a thousand knots, giving me a stomachache.
"Get it together, Elsa... It's just family." I breathed out, trying to calm my nerves.
The elevator doors opened once reaching the lobby, and I took a final deep breath, holding the small engagement gift in my hands. It wasn't anything grand, just two champagne glasses saying 'Mr. Right' with a mustache, and the other 'Mrs. Always Right' with red kissy lips. It immediately made me think of Tessa because she had the impression she was always right. Even in situations where she wasn't, she still was according to herself. She could be a little cocky sometimes.
Nearing the middle of the lobby, I stopped in my tracks when I spotted the tall dark-brown haired man in a black suit that hugged his body to perfection.

(Our Asher winslow)
"Asher?!" I said in shock. He turned around and smiled at me when he spotted me.
"Elsa! Long time no see!" He gave me a perfect smile, showing his perfectly white teeth. It has been so long since I last saw him. My.first. crush.ever. Damn, now I remembered why I was obsessed with him. Asher had the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, a sharp jawline, and a clean-shaven face. His dark brown hair was styled to perfection, giving the 'I didn't bother to try' look, which just made him a hundred times sexier.
We actually dated when we were younger. He just didn't know,hehe.
I just stared at him, my mouth slightly open as I couldn't believe my own two eyes.
"Damn, Elsa, just take a damn picture if you're just going to stare at me like that." He chuckled, and I immediately felt heat coating my cheeks. He still had that effect on me. "Don't flatter yourself too much, Ash. I was just surprised to see you here." I laughed, hoping he didn't notice my flushed cheeks. "Yeah, well I kind of overheard Tessa saying that you were coming, and she was going to send someone over to come and get you. I couldn't believe that the Elsa was coming, so I said I would come and fetch ya." Asher smiled and tucked his hands into the pockets of his slacks. His eyes slowly scanned me, trailing down my body, and then up again to meet my eyes, giving me a lazy smirk in the process.
"Can't say I regret the decision. You look stunning as ever, Elsa." His eyes turned a shade darker, and my heart was beating just a little faster with the way he was looking at me. "And you look handsome as ever, Asher." I returned with a smile as he slowly walked up to me with a sexy grin on his face.
