FERNANDEZ'S MANSION

Scent of rich french white roses filled the air as she walked in with her eyes blank, looking around... the whole mansion was decorated gorgeously beautiful already.

It wasn't even 3 hours when she left the place and everything was already changed and knowing the reason behind all these decorations made her blood boil.

She had a very sick vibe on after all that happened back in the club.

She again had to stop by that same small shabby room to change back to her uniform before heading home, since then Alvaro spoke nothing nor did she.
After reaching the mansion Alvaro disappeared in a thin air before bowing to her goodbye.

His silence wasn't exactly the reason of her ill mood but knowing him well she was aware how messed up his mind would be.

Though he never speaks about his mind to her but she understands Alvaro too well, he was regretting and he was blaming self continuously.

But at that very moment she was more angry on her fate.

Her aggressive steps and angry eyes clearly stated the fact that she wasn't in a very pleasant mood to deal with anyone. Maids on the way bowed 90 degree in respect not daring to open their mouth and greet her.

She straightly walked towards her room without sparing one look to anyone, the big and rich chamber of hers was on the right upstairs.

Opening it slam she cared no more about anyone's thoughts.

Approaching the bed, she sat on the mattress while her deep yet aggressive breaths gave the clear clue that she wasn't appreciating any of this things in her life.

Next week is her official face off with the world. People are going to see her in few days and so will Garcia's. It will be her 18th birthday this week!

The day she was praying all these years to disappear, it is finally coming!

Though her identity was no more a suspense now for the three of the Garcia brothers but for the rest of the world it still was.

Being hidden almost all of her life, people were curious to see her because all they have ever heard about her was how elegant and heavenly Fernandez's daughter was!

The game of fame and the power of name is going to be showcase soon.

Fernandez's are going to handle their daughter to Garcia's officially and finally.

But no way she was going to get married so soon and the fact that Alejandro who treated her like a property back in the club was actually going to be her husband was making her feel nauseous.

She remembered his last stare, it wasn't soft or regretful to see her neck bruised up all because of him. Not like she was expecting any of his guilty picture there.

But she did hoped for a hint of sorry from him but nah he was a breathing rock.

His heart is blank...

Unconsciously a drop of angry tear escaped her left eye followed by the right one afterwards. Has anyone ever cared about her feelings? No!

She indeed has an ill fate.

She hated her life so much.

A life where she doesn't even have basic liberties to even breathe. No freedom to even express her feelings.

She looked at the earth the whole time, scoffing under her breath, her tears of wrath now made their way down to her cheeks.

While still lost in cursing her fate, she didn't realise when one another person entered inside her space.
A lady in her mid 20s, was beautiful. She was gorgeous to be exact, wearing a rich attire... she approached the bed.

Genelia didn't feel her presence around until she felt softness on her cheeks.

Someone wiped her cold and angry tears delicately as that's when her eyes went up to the person in inspection.

"Diana!" An audible airy murmur left Genelia's mouth as she looked up at her cousin standing in front of her with her eyes delicate.

A heart warming smile appeared on the lady's face as she sighed deeply yet dramatically. "I flew 6 damn hours only to see my gorgeous sister crying?"
"Such a pitiful view it is!"
After hearing the soft voice of Diana, Genelia couldn't control no more and rush up to her embrace searching for warmth. After 5 total long months she was seeing her... her best person in life!

Diana was 5 years older than Genelia and was the first child of the household. Diana is the daughter of Genelia's father's brother hence both grew up together.

Things were going well in Genelia's life till one day Diana had to get married and it was obviously an arranged wedding, 2 years ago!

Since then she rarely sees her. Diana only shows up in family events like every other married ladies.
That's how a married life treats a woman. They had to let go of old relations and habits which were years old just for a sake of a foreign man claiming them to be their wife.

Though both the sisters couldn't meet more often but they were always connected with one another technically.

They made calls time to time.

"I so want to disappear!" Genelia stated after a while of emotional silence as Diana chuckled at her words.

"To where? Off to the moon, love?" Dramatically speaking Diana giggled like a child while poking Genelia's belly multiple times, lightening her mood.
And it did helped as Genelia let a loud laugh out at her sudden action. Her faint tears seemed to be vanish as she backed away from Diana and started running all around the room.

"Look at your age, aren't you too old to play around Diana Parker?" Genelia exclaimed with her fake stern voice as she stood across the bed in defence while Diana laughed at the view of her face.

Diana's hand rested on her waist and the next second she laid flat on the soft mattress while still laughing in awe, "You are still a weird freak!"
Genelia stared at her laughing for while before doing the same, laying flat on her mattress beside her.

"That monster... is he here too?"
Genelia mumbled beside Diana but it was still audible enough to her. Her laughs died down slowly, soon it was replaced by a small smile.

By that Genelia meant Diana's husband. He was no different than any other men to be honest.
Someone who walks around with arrogance and never smiles.

Genelia's brother-in-law was one cruel man. Same he was a leader of a well known mafia as well.

"Hm!" Diana hummed as Genelia's eyes looked at her face from the side with no expressions.

Analysing Diana, Genelia noticed her eyes started losing colours and smile to be way too unrealistic. Diana was faking her happiness and Genelia knew it all.

Even if Diana wouldn't say it out loud but Genelia knew well that the marriage with that freak was an unfair decision for Diana.

She was never happy with it. Even though she never showed it, Genelia knew it all.

It was all about creating strong alliances with another known Mafia. A marriage was nothing but a deal between 2 Mafias to ensure their friendship.

Alejandro and Genelia are the same. Their engagement was nothing but a deal too.

Besides it wasn't about only Diana... Genelia saw no successful and happy marriage up until now.

All Genelia have ever seen was agreements between two people, never love or any sort of affection between the couples in their world.

She saw so many marriages holding no meaning, yet 2 people are still bound to be one.

Diana was one of them.

Diana accepted the fact that her fate can never change but like her was Genelia brave enough to accept her deal of marriage too?

Still lost in her thoughts, Diana looked at Genelia catching her eyes and saw her lost, clicking her fingers in front of her face she scoffed.

"Let's go and try out the gowns. I've selected New York's best editions for your wedding!" Diana exclaimed excitedly before getting up from the mattress and pulling Genelia up with her eagerly.

MEANWHILE

Mateo rubbed his temples silently feeling everything frustrating him at that moment. Their grandfather just contacted him to ask about Alejandro but there was obviously no sign of him.

Lying to him was the only suitable option left for him as did so. The reason of the call seemed serious, there is only a week left for the wedding.

Preparation was loud.

And grandfather demanded everything to be more than perfect. After such long decades someone is finally getting married in their household after their father.

Neither Leonardo nor Mateo were married being the eldest sons of the family but rather Alejandro is getting married first.

And it was necessary.

It was a promise made 19 years ago.

Fernandez's and Garcia's were said to have conflicts 20 years ago. The enmity was so extreme that of both the Mafias became blood thirsty enemies for one another.

Until one day, something unexpected happened changing their relations.

Fernandez's lady of the household was pregnant with their heir when she was attacked and brutally beaten and Alejandro was merely a 7 years old boy who sneaked out of the mansion for the first time.

With his eyes always shining for weapons, sharp knives and the throne, he wandered around enjoying the freedom for some hours, which was forbidden by his grandfather.

The attackers of Fernandez's lady weren't Garcia's at that time but allegations raised against only them. Alejandro's Grandfather was to be questioned then as he was the ruler but he knew nothing to answer.

They denied the allegations but yet no one believed.

Whole city was then jammed when Garcia's also discovered their youngest son to be missing as well.

Whereas still wandering around, the young boy was carefree until he heard a crying woman's painful yelp across some dark alley.

Having a big swollen belly, she looked more than terrible. Sitting on the ground the lady had her both the arms covered her big belly in a protective way while she continued crying in pain.

Alejandro's eyes widened at the scene of 2 men pointing their guns on the lady while still beating her mercilessly.

He was still a child not even a decade old but his eyes raged extremely in anger to witness such animosity.

Before sneaking out of the house he stole his grandfather's weapon he liked the most, the pure golden weapon had the name of Garcia's engraved in it.

In anger he raised the weapon aiming the two goons, shooting them wherever in their body continuously with his shaking hands till they stopped breathing and moving.

His eyes widened not believing he killed the two men right there... the dark small alley was printed in blood red!

It was his first kill as probably the most risky one too. Still standing there with his steps shaking, he eyed the woman in wild fear whom he unconsciously helped out not knowing her identity.

Fernandez's soon discovered their lady sound and safe but when they discovered the little life saver in the scene, near her too. They then needed to pay the gratitude.

They owed him 2 lives, both mother's and the child's.
The little boy of 7 shooting two big men all bloodied and mercilessly in a young age like that, what could be the future of him?

Grandfather discovered Alejandro and he was seemingly ready for his punishment too but the thing he got wasn't actually something he expected.
The Fernandez's owed Garcia's a life time favor and seemingly they promised to devote their unborn child's life to Alejandro.

They knew the child's gender, acknowledging it was girl they proposed the marriage to Garcia's and betrothal was what Alejandro's grandfather suggested at that time.

They created an alliance since then.

Alejandro who saved the lady was asked then to caress her belly, he was still unknown to the meaning of it.

The tale of this promise was complicated but whether anyone wanted or not Fernandez's daughter belonged to Alejandro only.

Mateo sat across the couch silently as Leonardo was seemingly quiet as well.

Soon one's arrival attracted their attentions and it was none other than Alejandro himself. One of his veiny hand rubbed his nape as with his parted lips he sighed heavily.

He walked in joining the two and the next second before dropping his body on the couch with no care.
His eyes were closed as features were seemingly down, he was tired.

And obviously the meaning of this silence meant something too. After dealing with his fiancé Alejandro finally joined the two.

For a moment nobody spoke.

"Send my 10 best bouncers to Fernandez's!" Alejandro commanded as then both Leonardo and Mateo looked at him dumbfounded.

"Why?" Leonardo raised question at his words as Alejandro still laid his head on the couch's head without opening his eyes and looking at him.

"I don't want my fiancé to cause more trouble with that bodyguard of hers. I don't trust him!"
