Love, Guns and Roses (Mafia AU!) Chapter 1
Summary: After your mother passed away, your father wasn’t able to pay his debt and you were forced to marry the son of the NCT clan’s boss - Kim Do Young, in order to make up for your father’s mistakes. And now you’ll have to deal with your future husbands and the NCT clans business.
Genre: ...angst, I guess?
„I know I am probably the last person on earth you want to talk to right now, but we have to get going soon.”, a deep yet soft voice spoke when a man opened the door of your bedroom, while watching you from afar.
“I’ll be ready.”, you said, your back facing him.
How pitiful you looked – all curled up in your own yet so unfamiliar bed.
Your bedroom was filled with darkness, not even the slightest ray of sunshine to be seen.
Your hair was a mess, your eyes puffy and your face wet from all the tears that were rolling down.
“Okay… We’re leaving in about half an hour. Meet me at the entrance.”, he half-whispered, glancing at your fragile form one last time, before closing the door – leaving you to your somber bedroom and loneliness.
You took a deep breath and sat up, taking in the room, that was going to be a part of your new life.
You looked to your left, where a sinfully expensive, long dress hung on a hook attached to your new closet and then down to the floor, where a pair of fancy high heels stood, waiting to be worn – “those are going to kill my feet“, you said to yourself.
If you were to determine the worst day of your entire life, it would surely be this one – Today.
Not the kind of “ugh-this-is-the-worst-day-of-my-life-day”, no this is literally as worse as it gets.
“Why would you do that to me, dad?!”, you almost broke down in tears every time you opened your mouth, trying to protest.
“Darling, please listen to me. Look. I know it’s unfair and I am sorry, that you have to make up for my mistakes, but we do not have another choice.”, your dad said trying to soothe you somehow, when he saw your puffy eyes.
“Dad. Please don’t make me do that. Please don’t make me marry him!”, you begged him for what feels the 100th time today and that’s the exact moment you felt your tears finally rolling down your rosy cheeks.
“I am sorry, I truly am. But if you don’t marry him, they will have no mercy. They might even kill me and do even worse things to you.”
“Why can’t you just pay him the money back somehow!? Ask for more time!”, you tried to argue, even though you knew it would be no use.
“I already did that one too many times. You know the NCT clan’s reputation, you know how much of a big deal they are. They are the most powerful Mafia Clan.”, he was right.
The NCT Clan was one of the most powerful, influential and biggest Mafia Clans. Nobody who was right in their mind would try to mess with them. There were only few Clans that were nearly as mighty and feared as the NCT Clan.
A Clan feared by most of the other Mafia Clans, as they were known as merciless and cruel. Many of the other Clans tried to compete with them, attack them or even destroy them but all of them failed.
There is only one Clan, that’s considered as equal – the EXO Clan.
Both the NCT and the EXO Clan have many allies however they also have just as many enemies, who try to hunt them down.
Due to the enormous rivalry between the NCT and EXO Clan, both of them have the exact same goal: To annihilate the other.
The mutual desire to destroy each other has led their simple rivalry to a kind of domestic war – a war of the naughty yet subtle kind.
Your family was merely a small yet well off Mafia Clan – you were just little fishes in a big sea full of sharks.
Your childhood was fulfilling – you had everything you desired and even more. A beautiful, big house, a maid, thousands of dresses and so many toys, you could barely count them. Your family and your parents showered you with love – there was only one thing that you’ve longed for more than anything else.
A normal life – visiting a school, having friends you could hang out with afterwards and everything else that comes with it.
Instead you had a home teacher and some cousins your age that would come by every few months. As years went by, you’ve learned to accept this way of life – at least you had your loving parents.
However, the day your mother died in a horrible car accident, everything went wrong – your family went bankrupt, your father became more careless with the little money you had left and here you were.
Forced to marry some strange son of a Mafia-Boss you’ve never seen in your life, sold to the NCT Clan, like a cow back in the days.
“So you really want me to marry some strange, old man!? Someone who probably killed a whole lot of people!? You seriously want your only daughter to spend the rest of her life with a murderer!?”
“I know you’re scared. If I were you, I would be too. But I met Do Young. He is a really nice, well behaved and honorable man. He will treat you just right, I promise. Also, he just turned 23, so he isn’t even that much older than you.”
“Dad! I am 18 years old and I’ve never even been in a relationship, because you…Wait. Did you… No way.”, the moment you heard yourself speaking these words out lout, it felt like everything you believed in fell apart in this very moment.
You finally understood. You finally saw everything clear.
All these years your father kept you from having contact to the outside world.
He isolated you completely, as if you would break if anyone touched you.
But it wasn’t because he was afraid of you getting hurt.
It was because he promised the innocent you, to a son of a Mafia-Boss in order to pay back your father’s debts.
“Darling, please. It’s not what you think it is… I am sorry…”
“Please tell me you didn’t keep me isolated from the outside world, because you promised them, that I would marry their son, when I turn old enough to get engaged.”, even though you already knew his answer, you couldn’t help but asking – not wanting to believe your father would do something this unfair to you.
“Please, forgive me. I was so scared, you were so young and your mother… Your mother objected this plan of mine, nonetheless I was able to convince her. I really thought I could pay him back before you were going to turn 18 and I made her believe me... When your mother died, we didn’t have any money left to pay the funeral and I again borrowed money from the head of the NCT Clan…”
“So, you purposely locked me up at home all my life!? And even worse – you made one of the most important decisions of my life, instead of letting me decide who I want to spend the rest of my life with! Shouldn’t you, as my father, want me to marry someone I love!?”, you still couldn’t believe any of this – it’s like the man you knew, isn’t the same man standing right in front of you.
“What I wish for you or you wish yourself don’t matter anymore! You need to understand what’s important. And right now, your only priority should be your and my safety! This is not something you or I can argue with – the decision is made.
You are going to marry Kim Do Young – or else we both are dead! That is my last word.”
>>> // End of flashback //
After you had change into your new, glamourous dress, fixed your face and hair, you took a last deep breath, while starring at your reflection in the mirror.
You were brought to the NCT Clan’s mansion this morning – your father didn’t even bother to escort you there – you were all by yourself, when one of the NCT Clan’s guards led you to the Boss’ office to introduce you to the Boss himself and of course – your fiancé, Kim Do Young.
And to officially announce your engagement to all of the Mafia Clans, a celebration party was going to be held this evening – they clearly weren’t planning on wasting time.
You took small steps, going down the hallway – as if walking slowly was going to change anything.
You could see Do Young standing at the entrance – wearing a luxurious, black suit.
He did look stunning – as much you hate to admit, you couldn’t deny it.
He was handsome, tall, well built and unlike his cold and stern gaze – he had the most beautiful and cutest eyes you’ve ever seen.
As soon as his ears registered the clicking sound of your high heels on the floor, he lifted his gaze and he spoke: “You’re here. You look beautiful (Y/N)…”
“Thank you…”, you mumbled shy, unsure whether he was being sincere, or trying to be polite. Anyway – how could he say that so casually even though you literally just met?
This whole time he acted like this was no big deal for him.
“This guy is Johnny– he is my and from now on also your personal bodyguard. He is of our most talented and loyal men. I trust him with my life and that is why I entrust him with the duty to protect you.”, he explained pointing at the extremely tall man next to him, while Johnny gave you a heartwarming and bright smile.
“Nice to meet you (Y/N). I know this whole situation must be terrifying and confusing but being a part of the NCT Clan, isn’t as bad as you probably think. You’ll see.”, Johnny spoke with reassuring words and somehow these words seem to be calming to your fragile heart, you just couldn’t suppress the subtle smile forming on your lips.
“Wow – look at you. So you actually cansmile, little lady.”, Johnny teased, while knocking his elbow against Do Young’s shoulder.
Before another word can be spoken, the loud sound of the horn of the luxurious limousine in front of entrance gate made all of you jump.
“Well, it seems we have to get going.”, the giant laughed, while turning around to make his way to the car.
While Do Young only nodded, you lower your head – the nervousness slowly overwhelming your body.
“Let’s go (Y/N).”, Do Young announced while gently reaching out for you to take his hand, like a real gentleman.
You immediately complied to his action and took his surprisingly warm, soft hand and like this he led you to the black limousine.
After helping you to climb into the car, he took the seat next to you and soon you felt the car starting to move.
The first few minutes of your drive, no words were spoken and both of you were staring outside the windows. With every little stop, your heart beat faster, in fear of finally arriving at the party – every single of the most powerful Clans were invited.
Every ally. Every enemy. A herd of dangerous men were going to be there.
Were you really going to survive this party?
“You remember the plan?”, Do Young asked, breaking the silence.
“I do. I only speak when somebody is specifically talking to me. No sharing of personal information. And most importantly – nobody is allowed to know about our ‘arrangement’.”, you repeat the rules the Boss of the NCT Clan taught you earlier today.
“Also, we have to act like we’ve known each other for a long time. Act like we’re in love, right?”
“Basically, yes. And in order to make people believe us, I… need to touch you, somehow. Like holding your hand or waist. We’ll also need to kiss at least once – I am going to warn you though before I do anything.”
“Okay…”, you gulp nervously, which doesn’t go unnoticed by Do Young – he was sensing anxiety this whole time.
He knew you’d be scared of everything going on and scared of him – after all you’ve never been in a situation like this and you didn’t even know him one bit.
You were all by yourself when you arrived – shaking like crazy and he saw your eyes brimming with tears. And he just felt so bad for you – you looked so fragile, so small– it made him wanting, to protect you even more. Even though he wasn’t comfortable with this arrangement at all, he was more concerned for you.
Imagining how lonely, hurt and afraid you must’ve felt…
When the car came to a final halt, Do Young took the chance, to tell you everything, he’s been wanting to tell you.
“Listen (Y/N). I don’t want you to be scared of me. I have no intentions of harming you in any way. I am not the kind of man who gains joy out of hurting or abusing women. I know, right now, you have no reason to trust me in any way. You don’t know me, I am just a stranger to you and on top of that, I am the son of a cruel Mafia Boss. But I want you to know, that I want you to be safe. That is why, I need you to tell me whenever you feel unwell, if someone tries to harm you or if you feel scared. Can you do that? Will you try to trust me?”, somehow his words made you feel better. So much better, so much safer.
Although barely know him, you were able to feel the sincerity in his words, his eyes and his gestures.
Maybe he lied to you, maybe not.
Maybe you were naïve, maybe not.
Maybe you were just so incredibly desperate to have someone by your side, maybe not.
Anyways you were going to try.
“…Okay. I’ll try, Do Young. I’ll try to have trust in you.”
...so this is my very first mafia AU! and also the first writing I ever uploaded here. I hope you guys like it :))
