Lianas Pov:

What a day, I'd just got back from shopping with my best friend Aurora when I get a phone call from my father telling me to get straight home and that its an "important family business" Normally for my family these are rare- the only people that are in a family business is my father and two older brothers; Caleb and Daniel so me getting asked to come is a surprise.

When I walk into my room and put my numerous bags down near my bed, I sigh in relief as the weight on my arms is finally gone. I walk to my vanity table and sit down looking at myself through the mirror- I look like a mess, a total disaster. I quickly fix up my makeup and tied my hair up into a bun with a white claw clip. I get up, take my jacket off, and carefully place it on the coat hanger on my door. I wonder what this family business is about. Please say I'm not getting into trouble- because I don't want to deal with my father's short temper especially if he is drunk. I tried calling Caleb and Daniel and asking them about it but they wouldn't budge like they didn't want to tell me. It must be bad for me to get involved. Stop Overthinking it Liana, you are just gonna make your anxiety worse. I grab my phone from my white purse.
There was a light knock on my door, "Come in!" I say, knowing exactly who it would be. "Hey Ana, Father wants you downstairs," Caleb says.
I take a breath in and out, "Okay I'm coming!". "Come on then" he states leaving me behind.

I quietly walked downstairs behind Caleb, walking to Father's office. The last time I was in here, I got yelled at and lectured for dropping his glass. I look around and it feels bigger but yet the walls feel like they're closing in on me. I see my father staring at me, piercing his emotionless eyes into my stone-cold body. I quickly sit down next to my mother, not wanting to cause another argument.
"So I brought us here today, to talk to you about my dear daughter, Liana." my father says with a serious tone. What the fuck did I do now? And when did he start calling me daughter? am I missing a few chapters here? I slowly lower my head, trying not to pull attention toward me. Father's accomplices are, staring at me. "As you may know we need Alliances, so I and the Muertes have decided to do an arranged marriage where Liana will marry their son Carter Muerte." my head shot up, did I hear this right? An arranged marriage. Are you joking with me? I'm not involved in this family business so why the fuck am I getting brought into it, so Father can get more money? Is that all I am, a bribe?
I stand up, anger filling my body, "Over my dead body am I marrying a man I never meet! I've only turned 19! I am not a damn object for you to use as a bribe! I am your daughter!"
My father stands making me fall silent, "You do what I say! I am your father, if you don't like it well tough shit you are doing it! Don't you dare raise your voice at me, young lady! I am doing this for us! For our family!" I look to my mother for some support, all she did was look away like she knew what was happening all along.
"I'm not doing it", tears fill my eyes, my voice cracking "I'm not gonna marry a man I have never met."
"Well, you are marrying him in a month's time, whether you like it or not. You will meet him tomorrow, and if you try to fucking run I will fucking kill you."
I get up, and run out of his office slamming the door as hard as I could anger fills my body as tears roll down my face ruining my makeup. Why me? I dart upstairs, shutting my door and locking it not wanting anyone to come in. I want to be alone. I slowly sit on the floor feeling out of breath. the walls felt as if they were coming closer like they were moving toward me going to kill me if I move. What am I meant to tell my friends? Do I even tell my friends? What the fuck do I do? I bring my knees to my chest, hugging them as tightly as I could. Why does bad stuff happen to good people? my breathing was getting worse by the minute. I'm gonna be married at 19. I'm being used for a deal. I can't breathe it's like my lungs are knotted into a ball. I grab my blanket my late grandma made for me, hugging it as tight as I could. She would not like what her son is doing to me, her only granddaughter. I slowly calm down as tiredness filled my head, I slowly get up and walk to my closet to grab a silk pair of pajamas, as I change I think to myself; what will happen when I do get married? I don't want to even think about it anymore, I walk to my bed laying down and getting comfortable.
My mother walks in and towards my bed quietly, I'm so sorry my dear..", she carefully sits on my bed and strokes my hair, "If I could tell your father not to I would in a heartbeat. I love you dear, Goodnight.", She kisses my forehead gently and walks out, closing my door quietly. I slowly drift off to sleep, trying not to think about what will happen tomorrow.
