Chapter 1 - 1

April 30 11:20Pm

    I was back home because of the sudden news concerningy father, who suddenly got admitted to the hospital.

I remember getting into an accident on my way there, but because of the minor scratches I had, I had no problem getting back on the road.

    Running up the staircase because of the broken elevator, I rushed to open the room 102 that I was being addressed to by the nurse at the entrance. I could see my father lieing restless on the bed with a small pipe around his nose.

"Father" I called out like a trembling child.

"Zaira!! What are you doing here?" He delightedly asked.

     I haven't seen my father for the last 5 years due to the death of my mother, one of his mistress, I decided to relocate to abroad but when I got a call from the family nanny, I had no excuse but to fly back to the 'Ndrazgheta from calebria in Italy'.

" Come have a sit here and stop starring at me" he calmly said with broken words. I dragged my fleets together and sat on the chair beside the bed.

       "You look so beautiful" he said "reminds me of your mother".

"Why didn't you tell me anything?" I asked knowing full well what his answer is going to be.

"I didn't want you to worry about me and I was just respecting your decision not to ever try to reach you" he said making me feel a little guilty.

"B_u_t sti_l_l" I could not control the broken words coming from my mouth along with the little rain tears dropping on my lap.

I knew this day was always going to come Zaira, and now you have to listen to me and listen carefully " the atmosphere suddenly changed along with my father's tune, as he sounds more serious.

  "What is it Father" I confusedly asked.

"Take this flash drive. It contains the documents of all my property around the world mostly WHITE ETHAN" he said passing me a tiny necklace and a clock shaped pendant, and inside it was truly a flash drive. "And one more thing don't trust anyone including those who call themselves family, for they are the main snake." He was shaking as he told me all this, like his life depends on it. And I just can't understand what's going on.

   "Father I do not understand " I said to him.

"Zaira I've done a lot of bad things in this world and I owe my life to the underworld, so please run before they find you.

      My heart raced as I walked towards the car remembering the words of my father, that I just can't figure out. I sat inside my car and placed my forehead on the wheel trying to process everything that happened today.

TAP! TAP! TAP!!

"I winned down my car glass to see Jason, my stepbrother who is older than me with just two months, but unlike me they accepted him and his mother into the family.

"I saw you as I was walking in the hospital, so I decided to come say hi" he friendly acted with the polish mind of a snake. He was dressed in a white shirt and navy blue trouser, his blond hair was the only thing that looks decent and good about him, sure he puts a lot of work into it.

"Not sorry but I can't sit and chit chat with you" i said whining up the glasses but his hand got in the way.

"Listen Ziara, I hope you didn't come back here to create stupid ideas , cause father won't be able to protect you from what will happen" his voice were just the same as that of a snake.

"Your the one who should have any stupid idea" I started my car and zoom away.

    My name is Zaira White, and I was born to one of the richest and powerful family here in Italy. My mother who was a servant of the White family, had me at the age of 20 and because of that my father decided to take responsibility knowing full well that no one's gonna support it including his wife and other mistress. But growing up in the White family only brought me pain and sleepless night, and the only one who could save me was always not around (my father) from all the monsters basically Nash, the most dangerous of them all.

      His the third child if my father's seven children, and his the main reason I ran away with my mother.

    I was back to my small home, sitting at the corridor, reading every article of the White Ethan Enterprise for the last five years, and there is one thing I noticed is the influence of the underworld reminding me of what my father said "Zaira I've done a lot of bad things in this world and I owe my life to the underworld. So please run before they find you".

"I can't really understand anything, maybe I should go back and ask him the questions in my mind" I said to myself standing up from the wooden chair I was sited on holding a cup of black coffee. As I decided to open the door I heard a loud noise coming from the fire fighter truck on the road. "I wonder what's going on" I said walking pass the tv that had the display of the hospital that my father's in it on fire" No! No! No!!" I grabbed my jacket and car keys as I rush outside to my car, when I noticed some group of people surrounding my house.

  

     I was put to shock as I fell on the floor in fear. My heart was breathing so fast the more Nash walked towards me, flashing some crazy memories from five years ago.

He squirt down and brought out a cigarette and lighter then gave me a death stare as he smokes.

"I was surprised when I heard of your return from Jason, in which we all know would say anything for money" he blew the smoke to my face caughing me to cough.

"Where's father" I asked but my question only made them all laugh.

"Father!! Father!! Father!! Where are you? Your stupid child is looking for you" he called out "maybe you should go check for him in hell" he said as he laughed again.

"So you killed him? You killed Father!!" I yelled, dragging the collar of his suit jacket with tears rolling down my eyes.

He landed a slap on my face, as he dragged my hair and punched me on the face "where is it? And don't make me repeat myself" he said chocking me on my neck as I struggled to breath.

"I-don-t know w-h-at -yo-ur-talki-n-g a-b-o-u-t" I said hitting his hand as he let go of my neck. I was breathing so fast and loud.

"As you don't know, maybe this would help you" one of his people brought a suitcase as he opened it he pulled out a gun, taking me in fear and surprise.

  "Now where is it?" I would rather die than give him the flash drive.

"Excuse me gentle men, but my boss would like to have a word with you" a old man in suit said to Nash, dragging his attention away. "Hold her I will be right back" he said walking away with the man in suit into my house.

   Five minute later they were back but Nash surprisedly looked scared as I've never seen him ever for once scared of anything.

"Let her go, we will come back for her, let's go" he said. I watched as each and everyone of them drove away. I got up and walked slowly into my house.

"You don't look good" a harsh, bold and thick voice said, forcing me to turn my head to have a glance of who it might be.

"Who are you?" I asked.

The man who was 6.9 feet dreesed in a black shirt that it's sleeve were dragged up and a black pair of trouser, including his shoe and hair were also black. Just a glance of his eyes could pierce right through my life, as his expression was the coldest and scariest I've ever seen, but surprisedly he's really handsome. He walked towards me and lifted my chin, while I cooperated with him. One would know from his appearance he doesn't have anything good to talk about.

"I have an offer for you" he said still with a cold expression.

"What is it" I trembling asked, as he walked to my table and pour himself a glass of whiskey.

"Here's the thing it's either you walk outside here half dead or you accept to marry me" he said.

"And what if I refuse " I asked.

"Then I will kill you instantly" he said.

"WHAT!!! THE HELL!!! what kind of offer is that? How would he say that comfortable? And marry him? I love my life so much even if it's a big mess I said to my self. "Fine I will marry you as I don't want to die" I pleaded with him.

"Good, I know you will still want to live your disgusting life, get up and follow me" he said as he begin to walk away.

"Follow you to where?" I asked.

"To your new home wife" he smirk at me sending chills into my spine. I don't know what I've gotten myself into but one this for sure this human that look like a beast is the only one that can save me now.
