What the fuck is this?

My breath catches in my throat at the lack of clothing the young women are wearing. That have to be my age.

"What the fuck?" Massima breathes beside me and I look to her. We make the same face as the men start to bid on different women.

"Giovanni what is this?" She says quietly to her brother. "I didn't know they would do this." He has a  look on his face saying that he doesn't agree with this as well. "We are leaving." He adds getting up.

Our whole table gets up and leaves the building. Some even looking in our direction.

"Oh come one Mr. Morelli. You don't want one." The man speaks through the microphone. He stops in his tracks "This is disgusting. I hope your proud of yourself." He says and I grab my coat along with Massima.

We cram into the car. "That was horrible, what they do to women." Enzo speaks up. "Don't talk about it anymore." I say looking in my lap. The car stops talking as we pull out of the long driveway.

My father bought my mother. She was fucking miserable. He used her and got her present forcing her to live with him. He didn't want me once he found out I was a girl but mother begged him.
•••

We finally stop at the house after a very quiet car ride. Massima catches up on her sports bike.

My feet sore from these heels, I sit at the couch and start to unbuckle them. The couch dips beside me and a certain red dress is in view.

"Hey I'm Massima." She greets and i take off my last heels. "Hi, I'm Athena." I say and analyze her face up close. Wow the power of genetics can really work it's magic.

"I know, the lucky girl to be my brothers fiancé." She jokes.
"Not by choice." I say and Mariano and Enzo walk over. "What the gossip." Enzo teases in a attempt of a girl voice. "Nothing just introducing myself to my future sister-in-law and best friend." She says and takes off her heels as well. "God these things are a pain in the ass." She groans and stands up walking over and putting them by the door.

Best friend? I've never had one.

With Giovanni not in site we all start to talk and laugh about past memories. Except me because non of my memories are good. Only the ones with my mother but I know I'll cry if I bring them up.

So sitting in the corner of the couch like a loner I listen to the family stories they all share and good times they've had as siblings.

"Does your mom like to tease you about that Athena?" Mariano says putting all the spotlight on me.
Oh god.

"Um... my mom died when I was 15." That made the room silent. "I'm so sorry." He apologized and everyone sat in awkward silence not know what to say.

"How did she die." I deep voice sounds from the door. We look behind us and Giovanni is standing there with a glass of an unknown beverage.

"Really Gio? Are you stupid?" Massima says questioning his rude question. If someone's parent or family member died I'd find it rude to ask why. But I answer anyway.

"My father shot her." I feel a pit in my stomach begin to build. I need to get out of here.

"Oh my god" Enzo says from the couch. The rest just sitting there in shock. "What do expect from a relationship in the mafia. There is no love." I say excusing myself from the couch. "It's late, and I'm tired." I pick up my heels and stop, "Nice meeting you Massima." I walk off to leave the family to their own drama, why did I even have to make it about me?

I'm such an idiot. Ruining a good moment.

I shut my bedroom door and sitting on the edge of my bed. I jump when a grey furball jumps up onto my lap. I let her back and sigh.

"At least I have you Nala."

I change out of my dress into some shorts and sweatshirt. Ridding my face of that acne prone makeup.

I shut my light off and get into bed. Sinking into the soft comforter.

That was harsh.

I don't know about Athena's past but by the look in her eyes you can tell she went through a lot. And her scars are noticeable.

The other day when I saw the one on her stomach I was filled with rage.

I will admit that I found Athena very attractive. Her beauty goes beyond compare, with her ocean blue eyes, button nose, and long curly hair. It was impossible to deny her beauty. Her body is perfect with perfect breast and round ass, her figure just making me die to touch her. And her scars make her more beautiful than she already is.

The thing is, is that she is Giovanni's. I can't touch her unless he lets me.

"Why the fuck would you say that?" Mariano says from beside me. The room was silent after she left. I did notice how quiet she was when we were all talking but I just thought she was tired.

"What? It was just a question." He shrugs taking a sip of the whiskey.
"But your not stupid enough to ask how someone loved one died. Your going to marry this girl and your being a dick." Massima adds in.

The whole night has been new for Athena and I know it. She was always asking me what she needed to do, when all we had to was stand and talk, drink, and dance.

"It's not like I have a choice. It's only to help the mafia. Shes just another part for me to make the mafia stronger." He is sober right now. We've been home for a good hour and I know how he acts drunk. And this is not it.

"Have the decency to make her feel welcome at least." I say now putting in my own opinion.

"God if mama and papa saw how you were acting right now, they'd be livid." Massima gets up, "I'm going home. It's been a long ass day."

"I'll walk you to the door." With that Mariano gets up, leaving me and the asshole.

"Oh boy." I sigh and decide it's time for me to go to bed as well. I live with Giovanni because it's easier when I'm second in command.

"Have you even taken the time to talk to her yet? Ask her how she feels about marrying someone at 20 years old?" I stand at the kitchen counter and watch him just lay back on the couch.

"I don't have time for that, I've got better things to do than talk to someone about ducking marriage."

I shake my head and begin to walk to my room.

"Goodnight fratello."
