"Well.. Well.. Well.. What do we have here?"
I gasp and quickly turn my head when I hear Jenson’s voice coming from behind me.
I get up and try to move my body, I need to run before Stephanie found me and do what she's planned to do with me.
The door suddenly open when I take my first step backwards. Stephanie’s face looks shocked seeing me standing here.
"You heard?" She asked.
I shook my head and start running when she yelled "Jenson, get her. Don’t let her run away"
I screamed when he quickly ran and grabbed me. He held my waist tight so I can't go anywhere.
"NO" I screaming and defend myself, trying to get away from his grip "LET ME GO, YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!"
He tightened his grasp when I fought back and try to get away from the strong grip of jenson. He started to drag me inside the house and I started screaming again, because I know what he will do to me once we reach to my room.
" NOOO... PLEASE... NOOO!!" I pleaded and sobbed "Daddy, please help me" I yelled and try to call him for help. He just stood there and looking at me with an expressionless face.
That's it, he doesn't care?
"SHUT UP" Stephanie snaps and slaps my face.
Shocked, I shut my mouth, realizing that I failed, I am alone and she'll get to do everything she planned for me.
"Lock her in her room and make sure she can't run away until they pick her up" She ordered Jenson , I just wish that my mother could take me with her, I wish I die and never have to experience this horrible thing.
Jenson carried me roughly to my room and grabbed my arm tightly so tight that it will leave bruises tomorrow.
He smirked when he closed the door. I quickly run to the corner of my room desperate to get away from him.
"What did you do now?" He asked and took off his belt.
Oh no, God no.. Please don't let him hurt me again.
"Your mother said that I need to punish you for being bad" He said slowly then walked closer to me.
"No, Please don't hurt me" I sobbed and screamed when the belt touch my skin.
'Oh my God, please just take me' was my thoughts when I take the torture and punishment he gave me.

Dimitri Pov :
"I can't imagine this"
I turn my head when I saw my mother coming to my office with papers in her hand. I raise my eyebrows when I saw her.
It's been 2 weeks since I last talk and see her in Switzerland, and I didn’t know that she would come to New York without informing me first.
"Hello mother, I don't know you’re coming" I said and get up from my seat and kiss her cheek.
She took a seat and I followed her. Whatever brought her here must be bad.
"Here" She gave me a letter and I take it without saying anything and read it.
. . . . .
"Wow." That's my smart comment and she glared at me..
"Wow?" She shook her head " You know, I've got several letters of 'thanks' that say the same thing about you 'We know Swavrovsky is a great family but knowing how the heir reputation, I didn't want my daughter to have such a husband like him' It's because of your not so good reputation" She explain and I laughed. Wow.. They really have the guts to reject my mother?
"Don't you dare start laughing!" She threw the letter on my desk.
"C'mon, mother. I really like my life right now, and I don't care what people say o think about me" I told her honestly and she sighed while crossing her arms over her chest.
"They dare to say no to me" She mumbled and ignored me.
Sighing, I shook my head.
"So, what now? Are you giving up?" I asked, hopeful that she'll change her mind.
She waved her hand and snorted "No way, I still have my last card"
Groaning, I have a bad feeling about this.
*****************
I'm having my lunch the next day in my mansion when I hear my mother screaming my name.
Sighing, I look at her when she's running towards me with a letter in her hand.
"Oh my God, Dimitri you can't imagine what I got"
Great, what now?
"What?"
She didn't answer and just show me the letter. I read it carefully, and I feel like my world has stopped. Oh No.
"You remember Joanne, right? She has a daughter, Bianca. We've met when your around 17 or 19. When we saw you two, we make a deal that when you two grow up you can get married. So, I sent her a letter and i said that I want her to pay the debt that we made and you can read what they said" She said happily.
Shit.
"Joanne the beautiful woman who has a shy daughter with spots in her face? Short little girl" I am shocked. No way that she'll think I'm gonna married that girl.
She rolled her eyes "That's when she's like 7 or 8 years old, silly. I bet she’s beautiful now"
"God, mother. If you want to push me to marry, at least gave me a beautiful wife" I groaned and try to throw her an unbelievable stare.
"Please" She scoff "I won't ask for anyone else because Joanne is my best friend and I know she won't disappoint me. I'll invite her immediately and I hope you behave and please, give her a chance" She plead.
Shit, I knew I shouldn't have agreed with her from the beginning. What she doesn’t understand is that I can’t make a decision when she already has made her.
I feel stupid for agreeing with her.
"Whatever mother, I know that anything I say won't make you change your mind" I said defeated and she giggles.
She kisses my cheek "Thanks honey" and left me.
I sighed; I lose my appetite and headed to the living room.
"Father" I greet him when I saw him sitting on the couch and drinking his coffee. "When did you arrive?"
"Hey son" He said and turned his head "You know your mother"
I take a seat in front of him and sighed "When did I become this soft? She easily manipulate me" My father laughed when he heard me.
"She already made that plan a while ago" He smirked "But, I know Joanne, and I'm sure Bianca is as beautiful as her mother"
"You know then?" I shook my head in disbelief. "Here I thought she really make me choose" I murmured and my father laughed again.
"Please, Dimitri. We just want you to be happy" He told me.
Damn. How can I reject that?
I shouldn't have agreed to everything from the beginning and now it's my fault that my mother’s going ahead with her plans.
Bianca? I remember her as such a shy and weird girl. That will be my wife soon. Well.. I know that I need to find another women when I will have such a wife.
************
"What do you mean?" I ask James, he came to my office and said that there was a fire in one of our warehouses.
"The warehouse in Brazil has burned down and we lost everything" He said hesitantly.
"s**t" I curse.
He explained the things that happened there and I didn't realize I spent almost my day with him.
I was an FBI agent once. I was a good detective and the best sniper in my year, but it all stopped when my father needed me and I had to take my position as the Swavrovsky heir.
I can make my own guns and that’s how I came up with the idea for a weapons company.
How with experience and knowledge this made my company bigger than I could ever imagine. Nevertheless I knew that people will need them and trying to persuade me to help them and be on their side. But, I just give them advice and never fully join them.
Knock.. Knock..
"Can I come in?" John Eaton, my old friend from FBI knocked and stop me from doing my work.
I raise my head and smiled when I see him.
"John" I get up and hug him.
He turned to James who nodded his head and they shake hands. "s**t, James. You still work with him?" He smirked and James just shrugged his shoulder and laughed.
James was my partner once in the FBI, he just joined for 1 year when I announced my resignation and he decided to follow me. He's 7 years younger than me and is one of the best fighter you’ve ever seen.
We take a seat in my office and fix my documents and put it in in my drawer.
"What made you come here?" I ask him whilst making our drinks.
He take the glass and starts speaking "I need advice" He said and looks at me seriously "Well.. The agency actually needs your advice"
I shook my head and sip my drink "I'm sorry, but I quit from that job"
He sighed and ran his hand over his head "I already told them that, but it's about the.. well, you know there's the Genesees growing very big and strong, and there's a well.. There's a gang who’s being slaughtered and we know it's one of their enemies"
Before he can talk more, I know where this is heading "You want me to talk to Aiden?" I cut him off.
He nodded "We never knew where he lived, but remember that he's your friend as well..."
"You do know that the Genesees won't leave their victims be found by people, or cops" James interrupted him and he got the point (Read The Mafia Love Me.. OMG! for the story of Aiden the Genosees Leader).
"He's right" I agreed.
I can see in John’s face that he never knew where this lead him. Seeing my friend be in trouble, I sighed, I know that I'm gonna regret this.
What is it with me lately and crazy decision?
"John" I start "I'll try to speak with Aiden and see what he knows" There I said it.
John nods his head and sighed. He didn't realize that he was running his hand through his hair. He only ever does that when he’s stressed
John is a cop, he's 2 years younger than me with his brown eyes, light brown hair and he’s height’, he looks handsome for a detective.
" So" His voice snap me "I heard there's a wedding oncoming?"
oh s**t.
"What!"
They laugh when they saw my face.
"What?" I repeated my question.
John bulged his eyes when he saw my serious face "Oh s**t, you didn't know?" He then turn his head to James who just shrugged his shoulder.
"Know what?" I ask him, irritated, why won’t he just tell me.
"Wait" He raised his hand and leave to find something.
I glance at James who raised his eyebrow and he seems to not know what John is talking about.
John came backed with a newspaper in his hand and he pointed to the headlines.
Shocked, I take it roughly from him and read it.
'The Swavrovsky heir finally getting engaged'
What. the. f**k?
----
People were getting suspicious when we saw Denice Swavrovsky coming to the USA 3 days ago. She seems very busy with something she's planning on doing here.
When we finally got the time to meet and talk to her, we were shocked when we heard clearly that she's here for her son, the heir to the Swavrovsky fortune, Dimitri’s wedding
Nolan Dimitri Swavrovsky, 29 years old got the position as the leader 6 years ago. He was an FBI detective once and a great one at that. But, because of his father sickness he needed to take the thrown and abandon his job.
But since becoming the leader of the Swavrovsky thrown, he has become the playboy who never has had 1 steady relationship. He always goes out with different women. With his world renowned weapons company, he is known as the most arrogant and important man in the country. But, with his busy schedule, we never know that one woman can take his heart and make him agree to marriage.
We remember his words when we met him in Paris with Kingsley, the model who make her debut in Milan 2 years ago that 'Marriage is for a men who are lonely, because he agreed to stay with 1 woman in his life and it definitely sucks'
Well.. Now when we hear from Mrs. Denice Swavrovsky that Mr. Cold hearted Dimitri is getting married, is this his way to say he's now a lonely man?
----
I gaped when I finished reading it. I can't imagine that my mother has really done this.
She's really way too much.
"I suppose that you didn't know about this?" John spoke when he saw my shocked expression.
I sighed "It's my mother" I explained and he nodded.
"So, about the marriage thing? It’s True then?"
"Sadly, I guess it's true" I release another hard breathe.
"WHAT?!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to Bianca Pov :
"Wake up"
I groaned when I felt something kick my stomach. Please, no more. Jenson already kicked and punched me enough and I don't think I can handle any more.
"WAKE UP, YOU LAZY BRAT" Stephanie snaps and grabs my face. She stares at me looking at my face. What does she want now?
"Good. There's no mark in your face, people won't find out" She said and releases me.
I see. She told Jenson to hurt my body so people won't be able to see it.
"I'm glad that finally you can be useful to me" She said and took a seat in one the chairs in my room while I'm just lying weakly on the floor. "They sent your ticket and your flying immediately to New York, please don't ever mention us and just live your pathetic life" She smirked.
"Why do you hate me so much?"
She laughed when she heard my question.
"Oh dear Bianca. I knew your mother and I knew how perfect she was. When she die, I am glad that I could replace her and I won't make you this little miss perfect" She mocked me and I gasped. She knew my mother?
"Quick, get ready. They're coming in 2 hours" She said before leaving my room. I heard the click of my door locking.
*********
I gasped when I saw there's a man who held a sign with my name on it. I can just ignore him and run away.
But, what if they already know me?
Slowly I dragged my suitcase to where he's standing, my body is really hurting. I need to move as slow as I can because I don't want to pass out in here.
He smiled when he saw me and suddenly I'm glad that I'm not running away because he seems to know who I am.
"Ms. Peters" He greeted me and took my suitcase. I just nodded my head and didn't said anything.
He walked ahead of me and I followed him. My heart is beating faster in fear of not knowing what will happen to me.
I gasped when he opened the passenger door of the black Rolls Royce. Why they use this car to pick me up?
I push myself to get inside the car and didn't have the time to enjoy it, because I'm so nervous to even realize anything.
When he started driving, I looked out of the window and my mind going back into thought.
I didn't have a time to call and tell Trish about everything, I just texted her that I'm going to New York because my step-mother sell me. I didn’t get to read her reply, because Stephanie knocked on my door and told me to make it quick.
When they saw me leaving, Stephanie didn't say anything while Jenson just smirked and waved, they seemed very happy that I was leaving.
And my dad. Well.. I made a promise that he's not my dad anymore, they are not my family. He just sat on the couch all day and watched TV with a beer in his hand. He even didn't say sorry or goodbye, He just sat there and ignored me.
I hate him.
"We're here, miss" A voice snap me from my thoughts and I found myself staring at the mansion infront of me.
It’s really big with white walls and a Victorian style. This is my dream house if I could have one.
But now, I think this is the place that I should work hard for paying my mother's debt.
"Bianca"
I turn my head when I saw a beautiful woman walking towards me with a young girl beside her.
Oh God, I hope they're unlike my step mother.
