Mafia Lord

"Wait! What's going on?". Tallulah asked in confusion as she approached the front porch of her father's house.

She just stood in shook staring at the luggages which all belonged to her. And more where being brought out?!?!

"Ken!....Ty!". She called the names of her father's right hand men and went to hold down the luggages from them at the door.

"What's going on?". She asked looking from Ken and then to Ty.

"Sorry ma'am, your father's orders". Ken replied.

"To have me thrown out of the house?".

"Just doing our job ma'am". Ty defended with his head slightly bent.

Ken and Ty were the only men that stayed loyal to Jett Lennox after all his businesses failed and he almost went bankrupt.

The rest resigned and went their separate ways.

"I have to speak with my father". She said sounding a little bit annoyed then moved past them into the house.

"Dad? Dad! Daddy!!!". She yelled as she stormed the stairs and headed towards her father's home office.

She flung the door open and walked in leaving it open.

Jett who was staring out the window turned.

"I see you're back Tallulah my dear".

He said and walked to her placing a kiss on her forehead.

Tallulah stepped away.

"Why are my belongings out front as par your orders?" She paused. "Am I being thrown out?"

"No dear". Jett replied his daughter as he walked to his desk.

Tallulah sighed in relief with a hand on her chest.

"Are we going on a vacation then?". She asked grinning from ear to ear.

"Not a vacation Lula. You'll stay with someone until daddy can sought himself out".

He roamed the heap of files on his mahogany desk for a while.

"Ah-ha!" He exclaimed when he seemed to have found what he was looking for.

"Dad, who's the person and why do I have to stay with her?".

"It's a him". Jett corrected and walked back towards her. He handed the file to her when he reached.

"What's in here?" She asked with a small smile. "Some kind of deed?".

She opened it and the first thing she saw made her smile drop.

"A flight ticket to Spain, you're joking right?" She asked looking at him but his facial expression said otherwise.

She turned over the page and her heart shattered into a million pieces.

"It's an……".

"Arranged marriage". Tallulah completed for him. "I don't understand ".

She was utterly confused and stood frozen.

"I was going to say agreement Lula". Jett chipped in.

"An agreement to sell me off into another country I don't know to a man I don't know?". Tallulah yelled.

"I couldn't tell you".

"You could but didn't want to because you knew I'd refuse".

Jett placed his hand on her shoulder but she shrugged it off and slowly sat on the leather sofa placing the file beside her.

Her eyes stung with tears and they came out effortlessly.

"An arranged marriage to the Mafia".

She whispered and laughed.

She hugged herself and shook violently as more tears fell.

Jett sat beside her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Tallulah dear".

She shivered slightly.

"I want t..to be alone d..ad". She said in a shaky voice.

Jett stood up reluctantly and walked out of the office leaving Tallulah alone.

She slid from the sofa unto the tiled floor and held her head tightly using both hands.

"I can't believe daddy would do this. I'm being sold off in place of a loan".

She screamed painfully and fell to the floor soaking herself into the pool of sorrowful tears beneath her.

Tallulah didn't speak to her father nor anyone for that matter while leaving the house.

She sat quietly on the plane to Spain and the flight seemed shorter than she'd expected.

Once she'd arrived, a driver and bodyguard came to pick her up in a Ferrari. Oh how badly she wanted to escape but didn't know where to go.

The drive to the house was also a quiet one as Tallulah stared out the car window at the numerous trees they passed by.

"We're here ma'am".
