Author's POV
Sarah's eyes widened in shock, fear and panic when she looked at her husband. He was the same man from that night who killed someone very brutally.
She married to the mafia boss.
He was looking ahead, not even once he glanced at her. In bright lights she could see him clearly. His cold grey eyes were drawn in alcohol in bloodshot red color, Clenched jaw like he is trying to break it. He was looking very unhappy by this marriage and Sarah could sense that.
"You may kiss the bride now..."
Priest announced and Sarah started shaking in fear.
Xavier's fist tightened, he didn't even wanted to see her face let alone kiss her. He looked at his bride, she was looking down and Vail was hiding her face, With reasonable height distance he could only see her hair and not face.
Xavier grabbed her hand and kissed it with scowl on his face. He didn't wait for a second after that and walked away.
"Send your daughter with Ace... I don't have time for fucking formalities..."
Xavier said to her father on the way and drove away from the mansion.
Everyone stood stunned at his behavior. He didn't even bother to see her. Sarah heard people whispering and mumbling but she was relieved that he didn't kissed her. after years of struggle and pain she was now immune to the so called society judgments. with closed eyes she took a shaky breath of relief thinking he has no interest in her and she is safe...
But for now, what next ?...
She looked at her father angrily.
"I want to talk... Now..."
She left the aisle and her father followed her.
They went to his office.
"How could you dad... He is a criminal, a murderer. How can you marry me off to him. Why?..."
she yelled at him.
Her father glared at her.
"Watch your tone Sarah... And listen, you want answers right ?... It's no use of hiding it now.... Xavier is a mafia boss and so am I!...."
He said and she looked at him in shock.
"You are What ?..."
She whispered in disbelief.
"Yes, I am mafia and you are mafia's daughter. Till now I kept this thing hidden from you but I think it's time to tell you everything. Your brother was supposed to take after me but he is in coma. Even if he recovers he won't be able to succeed. Doctors are not sure that when he wakes up he will be in his right State of mind..."
"So ?..."
She asked with glossy eyes but accusations were prominent in her voice.
"So I needed someone who can handle my mafia. Natasha and you couldn't do that, Xavier is ready to do that in return his uncle asked for a bride who can give them an heir. We will give them an heir and they will provide us security..."
"How could you dad ?..."
She cried, her world was literally spinning.
"I am not getting young anymore Sarah. My enemies are waiting for a chance to kill me, to kill you, to kill our family. I have done this for everyone, for you. Xavier can protect you..."
He yelled at her frustratingly.
"You hid this from the beginning. That's why I grew up with the Grandma in London and not here with you. Isn't it dad ?."
She said venomously.
"Yes, it was best way to keep you safe and away from everything..."
He accepted.
"It was all about mafia, since the beginning. You never cared about business. It was just a cover to hide your illegal business and black money..."
She yelled.
"Yes it's all about Mafia Sarah. But don't worry I won't take this business away from you. You will continue as a CEO. I have signed all my business to your name, it's all yours..."
He slide the papers in front of her.
"Is this some kind of bribe. Take this and be happy kind of deal..."
She scoffed.
"No, it's not. I believe in you Sarah, I know you are capable to manage Everything. I know I never praised you or Said something which will encourage you but I am proud of you my child. Trust me..."
His voice softened.
"I don't need your fake and manipulating words. I hate you dad."
She sobbed throwing the papers away.
"That's why I kept you away from this world. I knew you will hate me after this..."
He looked away guiltily.
"Not now dad... I hate you from the beginning... You are selfish, you only thinks about yourself..."
She yelled at him.
"Call me whatever you want Sarah... I did what I can to save my family..."
He sighed and turned around.
"This is your life now. Xavier is your husband and you should be a responsible wife. You have a business to handle and must be a capable CEO, it's yours until you can handle..."
"I don't want this... I don't want anything, let me go. I can't stay with a criminal..."
She cried.
Peter gave her a stern look.
"In mafia freedom means death Sarah. This is your life and you must accept it . You should be thankful that I am not treating you as an object like other mafia's do to their daughters. I have given you half of my empire. To you not Natasha, at least be grateful for that. And don't ever try to run, it might take me a week to find you but Xavier will do that within a day. He is very strict about his reputation so don't do anything to anger him..."
"I never asked for your property and reputation dad. All I wanted is love, your love and blessings... Which you never gave me..."
She sounded defeated.
"And now you marry me off to a man who didn't even looked at me..."
"It may take time but it'll be fine... You will be fine Sarah..."
He stated and she looked at him disgusted.
"Now when I am seeing this disgust in your eyes that making me think that I was right to hide this from you. You would have hate me..."
"It doesn't matter because I already hate you... From the beginning..."
She wiped her tears.
"And don't worry I won't run now... Not anymore..."
Peter liked the confidence in her voice. She picked up the property papers from the floor.
"You know what... You have already destroyed my life so I think at least I deserve this..."
She said showing him property papers. She can't let go her security due to her broken emotional state, after all this will be the only thing which will help her to come out strong. She won't let go this business and her remaining power and control over her life.
Peter Smirked.
"Yes you deserve that... It's yours, you have worked hard for that and__"
Ace cleared his throat to make his presence known.
"I think it's time to leave ma'am..."
He said with small smile while Sarah looked at him blankly. All her confidence drained away just with his words.
'it's time to go...'
Author's POV Ace looked at the girl who was walking with him towards the car. He didn't liked how Xavier behaved with her but still he doesn't know that she is not Natasha but Sarah. Ace felt bad seeing her tears and ruined makeup, whatever happened was not her fault. Ace knows how manipulative her father is, after all he is a mafia leader. He couldn't understand why he gave Sarah his business, is he really a caring father or it was just a way to shut her mouth. Sarah's eyes were still glossy, she was trying to digest all the information she just got. She said all those things bravely in front of her father but in reality she was shaken from within. Since childhood she was surrounded by the criminals and she had no idea about it. She was constantly thinking how her life will be with Xavier. She was so engulfed in her thoughts that she stumbled due to her high heels and long dress. Ace quickly held her by arms making her stand. "Careful..." He gently said, she nodded and thanked

How was your day beautiful?" She was standing outside when she heard Ace's cheerful voice and turned around to smiled at him. They sat on chairs in the veranda under peaceful night. "It was good ace... What about you?..." "Same... Exciting. Killing and torturing people..." Ace winked. Her expressions turned horrified. "Ace please..." "Ok ok I am sorry... I was just messing around. Why are you so afraid of violence?..." he asked curiously. "Not violence but I have a phobia of blood. I can't look at it___ it's just gross..." She shivered remembering the same scene and brutal act of Xavier. He was still giving her nightmares. Ace chuckled. "The daughter of mafia don and still this kind of phobia... Interesting..."

Actually Xavier was deeply in love with some girl in his college days and she broke up with him. I don't know what's her name is or how she looks. Her betrayal broke Xavier, he was in depression for years and started staying alone. his father started his training and He became brutal and heartless, like he turn his pain in power.

Most of the ground was covered in blood, nasty dead body was lying along with sliced tongue and deep whole in chest. Her so called husband was covered in blood looking at her face like he has seen a ghost. all she wanted to do is run but her body was frozen in shock. Nausea hit her when he touched her cheek with his bloody hand. She quickly turned her head and puked all her dinner out. Thanks to her quick movements otherwise she would have done it on Xavier. She tried to stand but her world was already spinning and the fear of mafia husband wasn't helping either. She couldn't understand why he was looking at her like that, he didn't even looked disgusted by her vomiting. Her body left all the energy and she collapsed on the ground. "What the fuck did you do Xavier ?..." After finishing his cal
Author's pov Sarah woke up with a whimper. Her head was hurting like someone is hammering it. She leaned back against the bedpost with groan and lazily checked her phone. "Ohh shit..." Her eyes flew open when she saw the time. It was past 9 am and she was late for the office. She hurriedly took shower and wore her office clothes. She was running outside when she collided with ace. "Hey, be careful... You should rest. I called your PA and he said you don't have anything important to take care for now so I think you should take a day off. After last night___" Sarah's mood turned sour. "Thanks but I am fine ace..." She said nonchalantly and ran towards her car, Ace was confused by her behavior. Whatever happened last night and whatever she saw, after that she wasn't ready to stay in this mansion. She looked out of the car window and adrenaline rushed in her body when she saw those scary grey orbs which were staring straight in her soul. Xavier was standing in the garden with hi
