Velencia Kade

Three days. Three days until my life becomes more of a living hell then it already is.

My eyes fall to Ajax, Amara, Ry and Harry all sitting around the table eating dinner with smiles on their faces as Ry tells us about what is happening in the paw patrol episode he is watching. He has been getting better but he still has a small wince every time he coughs or sneezes or even when he inhales too fast because pumping the food made his lungs weaker.

Everyone is happy right now because I haven't told them about my involuntary deal with the devil. I came home an hour or two ago and showered as soon as I got here. They hadn't known about the men who Alessio had stationed outside and it makes me glad. I'm happy Ry didn't see that. Not at this age and not in this condition.

But the truth is, I don't know how to tell them and I'm running out of time to break the news.

I sigh slowly as I continue eating and listening to Ry's story. I'll tell them when we're done eating and when Ry goes back to watching his paw patrol.

"Anyways," he smiles as he takes a small sip of his water before looking at me and sending me a grin, his dimples popping as he grins at me. "How was your day Vee?" He asks and I freeze. Everyone's eyes fell on me awaiting my answer.

Well Ry, I got forced to marry the guy I need to kill to keep you all safe, and to make it even better we're getting married in three days. Shut up consy.

"Boring, I didn't do much." I shrug and he copies my action before Amara meets eyes with me and narrows them, somehow knowing I'm lying and I look away before my twin can read my goddamn mind like she always does. I don't know how, but whenever something is wrong with either of us we just know, it's weird and I don't know how to explain it. Must be a twin thing.

"Vee, you're hurt," Ry jumps off his chair after staring at my cheekbone for too long and noticing the small redness and I raise an eyebrow as he grabs his chair and pulls it towards me until it sits right beside my chair and he gets back on. "What happened?" He hugs my arm and my heart melts at this kid's kind heart. I drop my fork before pushing my chair back the slightest bit to pull him into my lap.

He lets out a cough and winces the second after and I feel the hate for my soon to be husband grow for doing this to him, I don't care how much he denies it but it won't change the truth there is no one else who could've done this.

I quickly grab my water and hand it to Ry as he wraps his arms around his stomach and leans into my arms, "you're okay little dude." I place a small kiss on his forehead before looking at my sister who looks like she is ready to murder someone for the pain they've caused her baby.

My eyebrows furrow when I hear the doorbell ring and everyone around the table freezes, I feel Ry's breathing speed up as he moves closer to me and looks at me with panic as I give him a look while standing up to be right in front of Ajax.

Ever since the accident at the park he has been beyond terrified to be around anyone who isn't already in this room, he had a panic attack a few nights ago because he thought someone rang the doorbell at night. His anxiety is getting worse and we can't do anything about it as of right now if we want to keep him safe and it kills us all to see this little kid like this, but we try our best to keep his mind away from things that keep or make him anxious.

"I'll get it," Amara stands from her chair and I give her a small nod before I see Ajax get up and walk towards me before picking Ry up out of my arms. "Want me to watch your show with you so mommy can't tell us to go to bed?" Ajax grins trying to cheer Ry up, which works as he freezes and nods quickly.

I roll my eyes and let out a small laugh, "count me in," I mutter as I stand off my chair and begin to grab mine and Ry's dishes but Harry grabs them right back from me with a small wink and I sigh, I am so fucking thankful for that man.

"I love paw patrol!" Ry exclaims and Ajax and I both let out a small laugh. I move closer to the two boys before looking at Ry with a fake glare, "or do you love the girl?" I taunt him and he gasps, not being able to believe what I just accused him of. He's adorable. "I love both, now let's go." He demands as he crosses his arms over his chest and I fake surrender with the biggest smile on my lips before making eye contact with Ajax. Bear hug time...

He gives me a wink before I look right back to Ry, he looks between the two of us before his eyes widen and he kicks his legs and swings his arms trying to get out of Ajax's arms. "No bear hug, please spare me!" He shouts dramatically which causes me to laugh yet again.

"Guess what time it is Ry..." Ajax trails off and Ry starts laughing as I start walking closer to the two of them with my arms open and a huge smile on my lips. Ajax engulfing him in a huge hug before Ry laughs even harder while I go up onto my toes to wrap my arms around Ajax, also capturing Ry in his daily bear hug.

But like always the moment of happiness is ruined as I hear my sister shouting from the hallway of the front door. My eyes widen when we hear her getting closer and the panic and anger in her voice rises. "Ryder, go to your room now!" She shouts and Harrison comes running out of the kitchen.

I lightly push myself off of Ajax and as a reflex I pull out my gun from my waistband and point it towards where Amara's voice came from just to be met with him.

"Take him upstairs and don't let anything happen to him." I tell Harry as he takes a terrified Ry from Ajax who stands beside me with a gun pointed towards no one but Alessio Morana.

My eyes lock onto his hazel ones and he tips his head to the side as he looks between Ajax and I while I send him a glare, "let go of my sister you fucking asshole," I grit, pointing my gun to Grant as he holds a blade to my sister's throat with a twisted smile on his face.

"I take it you haven't told them." Alessio crosses his arms over his chest before leaning against the wall that stands right beside him as he assumes more then asks me and I suck in a deep breath, "what is he talking about?" Ajax whispers moving closer to me and I can't look at him, or my sister. I can't meet their eyes, not right now.

My gun slowly drops down as do my eyes before my jaw clenches, "what the fuck is this bitch saying Velencia?" Amara shouts and I can hear Grant's scoff from all the way over here as he stands down and takes a step back from her and her glare.

No, no this cannot be getting any worse than it already is.

The sound of my sister's heels slamming against the marble tiles of our house echo off the walls as I hear her walking closer to me as my eyes fall to the protective arm Ajax puts in front of me while moving his body to stand in front of mine. "Get the fuck out," he demands of them and I try to muster up the courage to tell them before Alessio does.

"What the fuck is going on," Amara grits as she grabs my forearm and forces our eyes to meet, the look I give her melts that glare in under a second before her eyes soften and she looks at mine. "No secrets V, we're sisters." She whispers as Ajax stands his ground right in front of us with a gun pointed to the head of the man I'm supposed to marry in three days.

I swallow the knot in my throat as she lets go and holds my arm warmly, "something really fucking bad happened when I went to her house this evening," I start off telling them about how I went to Esther's house which they already know of as I see Ajax's body go tense. Amara's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she looked at me with her head tilted the slightest bit.

"V, why're they not attacking?" Ajax asks as he lowers his gun but keeps his eyes on the two men standing side by side on the other side of the room.

I close my eyes for a brief second before opening them to be met with the ones of my sister and best friend's. "Because it would break the terms of the contract..." I trail off, answering Ajax's question with a small voice as I feel Morana's eyes on me. I bet he is enjoying this, I bet he loves seeing me weak like this but I swear it won't ever happen in front of him again.

Amara's jaw locks as does her fist when she pushes her hand off of mine and her eyes snap to Alessio's, "what fucking contract?" She grits as her eyes maintain a glare towards who I assume are Alessio and Grant.

My hand grips my gun so tight my knuckles turn white as I take a deep breath and get ready to just spit it out.

"The contract that states that the American and Italian mafia are forming a new alliance," I pause my sentence and look at the two people in front of me. Their face drops in fucking horror as they stare at me, acting as if the words leaving my lips are some sort of illusion.

"An unbreakable alliance formed by the marriage of Alessio and I." I whisper.

"They're not attacking because I'm marrying Alessio Morana." I feel a shiver run down my spine as soon as those words come out of my lips and Ajax drops his gun in pure shock. The clatter of the gun hitting the floor causes me to bite down on my tongue and I don't even look at my sister, fearing the reaction she will or could have after what I've just told her.

"I guess we'll come back tomorrow," Alessio chuckles and my hand around my gun aches to rise and try shooting him but I don't. He did it once again, he fucking ruined everything. "Seems like you three need to catch up."

My eyes snap to him and I can't help the glare of resentment that forms towards him, "don't you dare step foot in my house again and get a grip over your goddamn mouth," I spit my words at him and his hazel eyes narrow down on mine before he sends me a warning look which only angers me further. Who does this man think he is?

But before I could talk my sister did, "get out before I do something we'll all regret." She says, her words sound calm and collected but we all know she is about to fucking blow if anyone dares to defy her orders and the two guys turn before leaving without another glance. They leave after causing nothing but chaos and pain in my life yet again.

Fuck you Alessio Morana.
