Mafia's Obsession: A fierce tale of hatred and love...

by Mahita Varma

  "Oh Robsy, not always Mr. Peter Knight can support his son, when he was about rape me. Isn't it?" I mocked him.

  "Okay. I know he is wrong. But he is mafia, and mafias are cruel. It's his profession, you can't blame him."

  "So Robsy, you are basically telling me that, if a cat pounces on a rat, it’s the rat’s fault to get caught not the, cat’s. Is it so?"

  "Sassy, okay not for Peter at least for Mary, you can come. Can you?" He sighed.

  "Not every time you can take Mary's name, to make me do things they want me to. But this time I will come, for you, Mary and A... I mean yeah, for you and Mary." I said realizing, what I was about to say.

  He made way for me to go first, so I started walking and hit my head hard with my hand, for about to say that.

  We walked for some time, Rob told me how Elle had agreed to go on a date with him, and also that the date is in half an hour.

  I am so happy for them, but then I realized that he wouldn't be dining with us. Shit! I am dead.

  I couldn't ask him to stay; after all they both want a date badly. I am happy and I can't be selfish to stop my people from being happy, because of me.

  We reached the dining, and there were three empty seats as Rob wouldn't be dining with us, and that was one beside Mary, one beside Alan and one beside that-person.

  Even though my heart beat to sit beside someone else, I sat beside Mary, as I didn't want that night to repeat.

  "It would be lovely to see you beside Damon, Sasha." Peter said.

  "But I feel lovely sitting beside Mary, thank you." I replied.

  Mary squeezed my hand, asking me to think what I am saying. But I hated them so much that, I can't imagine myself talking good to them.

  "You definitely broke our record, Ms. West. No girl took so long in adjusting to us, in our family legacy." He mocked.

  "Maybe your family didn't find the right one, till now. And your son didn't help it either." I mocked back, looking at Peter and one glance to that-person.

  "Well then, Ms. West. I have an idea, not alone mine, Damon's as well. It would make it easier for you to adjust. So, it has been fixed, marriage is in three days from now." He announced.

  Before I could react, Alan banged on the table and few things fell of the dinning, and he left.

  I didn't understand what he wanted. But I thought, things about Alan can wait,

  "So, Mr. Peter Knight why marriage? With or without marriage your son wants sex and nothing else, even you it's only an heir to continue your stupid legacy." I bit back.

  "Mind your tongue, because it wouldn't be good on the floor." He said, his anger rising.

  "I have a mind, but looks like others don't." I said, giving him a stern look.

  "So well then son, marriage is after three days and she is all yours to have. I want an heir in ten months from your marriage, happy sex life." Saying, he walked away.

  That-person walked across me smirking, and went behind his dad. Mary came to me, hugged me and walked away with tears.

  I climbed the stairs, accepting my fate. I walked thinking about how my life turned upside down, in one night.

  As I was walking thinking about this, I saw a door open. I peeped inside not understanding, who was staying beside our room.

  "Alan"

  Chapter 17- Let’s shop

  Damon Knight’s P.O.V:

  "Dad, Alan is doing it on purpose. Sasha is mine, and can't lose her. Not to him." I told dad, playing with the paper weight.

  "Don't worry Damon. He won't do anything wrong. I will assure you that. The only thing you should worry about is your marriage, and your fiancée." He said, hatred clear thinking about Sasha.

  "Dad, come on why do you hate her. She is feisty. Isn't it challenging?" I replied.

  "Being feisty and being manner less are two different things, and she is definitely not the first type." He said, his anger rising.

  "Okay, cool down. Let the marriage happen. Maybe, she will change." I said, hoping for the best.

  "Damon, are you taking her side? And is that mean you are in love with her?" He asked, putting his hand on his chin.

  Why am I taking her side? From that night, I have been thinking only about her, and whenever I think about her, am despising myself. I have done a lot of cruel things to many before, but never felt bad about any. I didn't even give a second thought, but she is different.

  Is this love? Seeing her felt so good on Christmas, but when I saw hatred in her eyes, I couldn't control my sorrow. Why is she special?

  As all these thoughts came into my mind, I wanted to see her. There is something that is pulling me towards her.

  "Dad, I will meet you in twenty minutes."

  "So are you going to meet her?"

  "Dad, I said I will come in twenty."

  "Okay son, even though I hate her, I will like her if you do." I heard him say behind me.

  Sasha West’s P.O.V:

  "Alan" I called seeing him in the room. But I didn't know I was loud.

  "Hey lovely lady, you missed me?" He said putting the phone down, and coming closer.

  "If you don't mind, can you stop calling me that?" I asked.

  "Oh! What happened? You don't like the name?" He asked.

  The whole dream came rushing back to my head, and the hair on my back stood.

  "Hey beautiful, are you okay?"

  "There's nothing, it's just a bad dream."

  "Oh! Did you sleep for ten seconds?" He asked humorously.

  "Very funny" I said giving him a chuckle.

  "Can I come in?"

  "Hey sure, sorry didn't invite you in. But come in, please."

  "Your room looks like a bad boy's."

  "So am I." He said darkly.

  A shiver ran down my spine.

  "Hey it was a joke."

  "I know."

  "So how come you are here?" He asked.

  I thought whether I should. Then I thought yeah I should.

  "I wanted to ask you something."

  "Yeah beautiful, anything you ask will be at your feet, even me." He said coming closer, to which I chuckled.

  "Are you flirting with me? Do you know me being your brother's fiancée?" I asked getting sad at the last word.

  "Are you happy with that decision?" He asked, to which I didn't reply.

  "Sasha, I know you are not happy with that decision?" He asked a little louder and coming closer.

  He came too close, and putting a hand on my waist and the other on my neck. Pulling me closer so that my head was on his shoulder,

  "Sasha, he isn't right for you. If you wish, I can bring you out of this misery. I promise. A word from you and I will pull you out of this." I heard him coo in my ear.

  I wish this moment, stopped like this. He is too sweet. Why can't Damon be like this?

  Someone pulled me from Alan, and I hit his hard chest. When I lifted my head and saw, I met those familiar eyes.

  "ALAN, I know what you are up to, its better you stop it otherwise you will have to face us. And you know it wouldn't be good to you. Take it as my last warning brother." Saying he pulled me away from him, leaving the room and entering ours.

  "What do you think you are doing?"

  "Hey why aren't you trying to rape me, Mr. Damon Knight? I was held in your brother's arms. We were about to kiss you know."

  "Sasha, Alan is not as you think, he is dangerous. Stay away from him."

  "Woah, Look who's talking about danger." I said pointing to him.

  "Sasha, don’t talk to him and, stay away from him. This is a warning, and if you don't follow there will be consequences. This time not you, your family has to face." Saying this he left.

  I crumbled down, tears falling without a halt. Why me? As if the problems are not enough, my hormones are causing more.

  I slept thinking this was better for now. I wanted peace, and sleep is the best.

  I woke up, due to the light hitting my face. As I saw opening my eyes, I found myself in the same forest,
before.

  As I turned to leave, I heard someone shout. I thought why not go and see, if someone was in danger. So I walked inside the forest, but found none.

  I went deeper, to search for the person. As I kept walking, my leg hit someone on the ground. I was afraid, who could it be? I bent down to see the person, but met with his back.

  I slowly turned him to see his face. I was shocked, I stood still. Tears ran down my eyes, I slowly sat beside him.

  "Wake up, please. Can you hear me? Dam, please don't leave me. Whom will I fight with, if you are gone? Please Dam." I pleaded crying.

  "DAM, wake up. I will do whatever you want, but wake up for me, please." I kept repeating.

  But he didn't. His face was covered with blood. His t-shirt was full of blood. Only a single shoe was on his feet. The other feet, was bleeding.

  I couldn't see him like that. Even though I hate him, he is my husband. I can't see him die.

  "Are there anyone? I need help. Please help me. My husband is dying. Is anyone there? HELP, SOMEONE HELP." I cried shouting, and trying to carry him with me, but failing miserably.

  Then I heard a voice behind me, as I turned to ask him help, something hard hit me on my face and I blacked out.

  But before I did, I saw the person with a blur and watery eyes to see a familiar face.

  I woke up with someone knocking on the door hard. I was sweating as usual, but what was that dream. Damon, is he okay? Who could that person be? Why were his eyes familiar?

  I heard someone call me, so I went to open the door.

  "Sassy, I have been banging on the door for past few minutes and you can’t open it, how rude?" Rob said, placing his hands on his hip.

  "Rob, where is Damon? Is he okay?" I asked, thinking about him.

  "He is fine. He is in his study with Peter. Why, what is wrong Sassy?" He asked concerned.

  "Robsy, I go.."

  "Hey sash, hey brother. Shall we go? We are waiting." Ken yelled, making an entry.

  "Yes Ken, we are coming." Rob said to Ken.

  He turned to me and said, "Is anything serious and you want to tell."

  "No nothing. By the way, where are we going?" I asked, diverting the topic.

  I didn't want them to worry.

  "Oh yeah, we are going wedding shopping, Hurray! Come on Sash, let's go." Ken said, linking his arm with mine.

  "Wait! Wait! I am supposed to change Ken." I replied chuckling.

  "Go fast, and come fast. Go!" He said, smacking my arm.

  I ran into my room, and got ready as fast as possible. I wore a white off shoulder top, pairing it with jeans shorts.

  I didn't know why I was excited, but I was. I ran out, to find them still waiting for me.

  "Come on Sash, let's go. Hey brother, come." Ken said to Rob, then linking his arm with mine.

  Rob looked at me suspicious. But I gave him an innocent look, to which he brushed of the look.

  We went down to find the whole family waiting for us, near the cars.

  As I went near them, I found Damon missing. All the excitement was lost.

  "Robsy, Isn't Damon coming?"

  Chapter 18- Concern

  I feel like, I'm waiting for something that isn't going to happen. Waiting to fly with someone of my dreams is what a girl like me would wish for. But what if those dreams are bad?

  "Robsy, Isn't Damon coming?" I asked, looking at the door expecting him to come.

  "From when have you started worrying for him, Sassy? Let him be." He said, walking into the car and eventually pulling me with him.

  "Yeah but, he was the one wanting this marriage to happen. Then why isn't he shopping for it?" I asked, not knowing why am so concerned about him.

  "He has got some work to do, and I don't think you would want to know what it is. So stop thinking about him, and stay happy." He replied.

  "Ah okay! Let's go then." I sighed.

  It was a happy ride for me, as there wasn't Peter or Damon in our car. Peter, Mary and Alexander sat in another car and Me, Rob, Ken and Alan in the other.

  Ken was too sweet, sweeter than Robsy. Being the youngest of this family, he is the most active member. He was more excited about this wedding than the bride and the groom.

  Peter's family is mysterious and cruel, whereas his brother, Alexander's family is sweet and cute.

  Alan was driving. Ken sat in the front beside Alan, pouting after a huge fight with Robsy for sitting beside me. But eventually Robsy won which earned him a seat beside me.

  Ken spoke about his Casanova attitude. Robsy spoke for some time then later got a call from Elle and became busy talking to her, which resulted in him blushing at times.

  Alan kept sneaking a glance at me from the mirror, but didn't talk. I turned to my left, keeping a hand on the hand rest and watching outside the window taking in the view.

  It has been months since I came out, and enjoyed the breeze. So, I pressed the window slider button so that I could take in the breeze. It was amazing, feeling nature was the best at this point.

  As I was busy enjoying the nature, I realized that we were driving past the forest that has been in my dreams, twice. Thinking about both the dreams, made me shiver.

  The second was more fearful than the first, and dint know why. But I felt like calling the person I least expected to call, anytime soon.

  So I pushed back my phone in my pocket and continued looking outside. Tears, I could feel tears streaming down my face, falling on my fingers rested on my jaw.

  First time in so many years I dint know the reason for them. But crying at this point felt good. So I thought it would be better if I did things that felt good.

  I cried silently, so that no one would be disturbed. But it wasn't possible, Alan stopped the car. He got down and got in the back seat with me.

  "Why are you crying beautiful?" He asked concerned, wiping my tears with his hand.

  Rob cut the call, telling Elle he will get back to her later. Turned to me and asked,

  "What's wrong Sassy? I knew you had a problem that was bothering you, have I become a no one for you?" He asked feeling sad, tears starting in his eyes.

  "Sash, my sweetie, what is wrong? Does this have anything to do with my big brother." asked Ken.

  "Cool down you three. Can't I cry for anything else, other than Dam?" I asked angry.

  I turned to Rob, and hit him hard with my hand,

  "And you remember one thing if there is anyone I love so much in this house, it is you. You can never ever become a no one for me. If I am not saying anything to you that means I don't want you to suffer." I said hugging him tight.

  "I love you Sassy. Remember one thing I will never suffer because of you. You are very important to me." He said kissing my cheek.

  "And you know why, because of you I got a girlfriend." He said widening his smile, showing his teeth.

  "Moron, so you like me because you like my sister? I hate you." I hit him smacking his arm.

  "No I love her because she is your sister." He said pulling me into him and hugging me tighter.

  "Stop it you duffer, you are choking me, with your rock hard biceps." I choked.

  "Oh! Sorry Sassy." He pouted showing off his dimple.

  "Hey don't forget me here." Ken said jumping like an ape from the front to the back seat.

  We hugged him too.

  "Hey, don’t forget me." Alan said hugging us from behind.

  After the emotional drama we did right here, we set ourselves and started the journey to shop.

  We reached Susan's Wedding Couture, and the dresses were amazing. The elder's went to shop for Damon and them.

  We on the other end went to shop for me and the boys.

  So we went inside the shop, hoping to buy mine. All the dresses were stunning and looked amazing.

  "Hello Mr. Ken Knight, Mr. Rob Knight and Mr. Alan Knight. Please come." She greeted the three. But she greeted Alan in a different tone, which you can call as a slutty one.

  "Hello." They gre
eted unison.

  "This is the bride, and we want a wedding dress that makes her look like the queen, as she is." Rob said with a stern look.

  She took a step back. Fear was visible in her eyes.

  Woah! Rob can also frighten people. How can someone feel fear by such a cute person?

  "Robsy, people fear you? You are cute, how can anyone fear you?" I asked chuckling.

  "Maybe I behave cute only with my loved ones." He said linking my arm.

  "Oh so you might be Ms. Sasha West? Welcome ma'am. Here are your dresses." She said pointing to the dresses.

  "Sir your dresses are this way." She said to those three, pointing on the other side.

  "Thank you." We said.

  "Ma'am, if you don't mind can you tell me, who will be your best man?" She asked, looking at the floor.

  Rob did fear her a lot. Now it makes sense, to how this man is second in command in the mafia.

  "Me." Ken said coming forward.

  I looked towards Ken, Rob and Alan. Alan looked least interested. If anyone hated this wedding, it is Alan who beats me in this, making me second.

  So seeing Ken and Rob, I noticed Ken was too excited but Rob dint show his excitement as he was maintaining his dangerous aura.

  "Am sorry but none among these three, I would want my dad to be the best man." I said to Ken and Rob, apologizing eventually.

  "It's okay Sash. But I am definitely coming from your side." Ken said, running to me and hugging me tight.

  "I love you Ken for this." I said hugging him back.

  Susan, told the boys to try theirs. She came to me and gave me few selected one's to try.

  Frankly I liked all of them, but had to choose, so I went to try.

  After trying I liked two, when I asked them, they were confused. Alan looked at me in those dresses and rushed out fisting his hands.

  Now that is why I said, Peter's family is mysterious. So Rob and Ken were left.

  "Sassy, you look fab in both of them."

  "Sash, yeah you look stunning in this and the one you wore second." They both said.

  Mr. Rob made Susan fear, her life due to which she didn’t even dare to look at me nor reply until spoken to.

  Now what am I supposed to do? I thought of calling Damon but then brushed off the thought.
