"Hurry up, Margaret. We don't have all day, your husband would be here soon," my mother said as she popped her head into my room. A frustrated sigh escaped my lips, we weren't even married at least not yet and the way they all kept talking about the marriage pissed me off. It wasn't like I had a choice, because if I did I would have said no to the alliance as soon as I was told about it.

I turned to look at her, now she had entered the room, her lips curled up as her eyes scanned my body.

"How many times do I have to tell you to get dressed? Or do I have to do that for you as well?" She snarled taking steps towards me. As she got to me she raised her hand and smacked me hard across the face.

My right cheek which she had slapped ached and my vision was blurry. I tried so hard to stop tears from pouring out of my eyes but I couldn't.

I raised my hand to my face touching the cheek that hurt, even though the slap was painful that wasn't even what hurt me more. It was the fact that my mother was willing to give me out like a piece of trash. I was the outcast of the family, I was never good enough. It didn't matter how hard I tried to make them see a little good in me, It was never fruitful.

I tilted my head up to look at her and there was no sign of remorse for what she had just done, rather my eyes met her icy glare which emitted coldness.

"You have just ten minutes to get dressed, and remember to put a smile on that ugly face of yours." She spat placing her fingers on my lips as she widened them forcing a smile.

I nodded, " Make yourself useful for once in your life," she muttered glaring at me once more before she walked out of the room.

Most times I couldn't help but wonder if I was the daughter of my mother's enemy since she hated me so much and did not bother to hide it. Just yesterday, I and my boyfriend Zeus spent the whole afternoon to the evening at the beach, after which we went to his penthouse where we watched movies, we assured ourselves of our love, little did I know that the promises we had made were going to be met with an asunder.

Zeus was the son of a member of the mafia leader gang the Black stones my dad was in. When we met for the first time, I was surprised that he was interested in getting to know me even though my sister Lynn was there, she was the expensive red wine and I was the bitter gourd juice which most wouldn't go for even if they were given for free.

Lynn had beautiful features, she was a blonde, she had thick long eyelashes, green eyes and the body of a model, she was 5'10 ft tall while I was barely 5'5 ft tall. Lynn got her looks from our mother, despite the fact that mom was ageing she was very beautiful. Dad was a good-looking man as well. I couldn't understand where I got my looks from since I was short, chubby, and had boring brown eyes.

Lynn on the other hand was well endowed, despite being the younger one she had so many suitors, and she had the love of both my parents.

My dad loved her a lot but he hated the sight of me, he has always said that my existence has brought him nothing but shame, until yesterday for the first time he said he was proud of me since I had caught the attention of Vladivostok Kostya he was a Russian American mafia Don in the city, I had never met him but from the news, I heard he was called the devil's incarnate, his name alone was enough to make people pee their pants.

He was the ruthless leader of the Blue Scorpion gang the most powerful mafia in our city, they had the power, fame and everything and even worst they feared no authorities, why would they? When they were the authorities. My father had told me that he had taken a loan from Vladivostok and used Lynn as collateral, but the man had chosen me instead. He had offered to give my Dad the opportunity to be a member of the Blue Scorpion if he was willing to give me to him as a wife, and of course, Dad accepted.

"Get ready Magaret. You'll be getting married tomorrow." Those were his words, he said them with coldness evident in his voice, no sign of compassion in his eyes. The moment I heard those words my world crumbled, my heart arched as I felt my breath get stuck in my throat.

I had never felt loved all my life until the moment I met Zeus, and now all of that was going to be over as I would be married to Vladivostok the same man who had killed his father. If he was able to end his own blood then my chances of survival were null, I might end up getting killed the same day I get married to him. I tried to plead with my Dad, but he wasn't ready to hear any of that.

I thought about eloping with Zeus but when I told him, he said it was only going to worsen things since Vladivostok had his men everywhere. It wouldn't take a minute to find us and put an end to our lives. I thought talking to my mom was going to help, but she only told me to be grateful since I was getting married to the wealthiest man in the city, that was the most important thing to my mom, wealth! She was willing to do anything just to get that.
