Finally the exam season ended. God it wasn't that hard now that i look back at it. Dad called me a few days ago and told me i have to attend the family dinner as Juan is back. I don't want to go back to that hell but neither do i have a escape plan. I guess i should probably call Mom and ask her what the actual plan is.
My Mom, Aka Rebecca Martin is a very polite lady i don't even get it how did she even marry my dad. My dad owns Martinez Industries every fucking thing available in spain has Martin industry stamped on it, my dad is a billionaire yet his son did illegal jobs for money. Our family is a weird mix, its like a mafia family without the mafia title. My Dad breaks skulls without hesitation, my uncles murdered people for betrayal. Whenever i bring this topic during our family conversations everyone just simply give me that one bullet of answer, "Betrayal towards Martinez's leads to river's of blood" Sometimes it makes me wonder what if i betray them? Will they kill me?
I grab my phone from the dresser and dial my mom's number.
"Hey sweetheart!"
"Hi mom, how are you?"
"I'm... Good, Just glad your brother is back"
"Yeah?"
"Yes so why did you call?"
Exactly everyone calls family for a reason and mine is too lame to say after she said she is "glad" my brother is back.
"Just wanted to know what should i wear for the dinner" i say
"Oh honey, wear anything you like. I'm sure you will look gorgeous" her accent slips.
"Alright mom, thanks!"
"Take care. Bye"
"Bye" I hung up.
Although Conversations with Mom are pretty same everytime they don't fail to disappoint me that how much my mother lacks interest in me. Basically everyone in the family is the same. I'm just the sweet Martinez daughter who acts as a showpiece.
I hear a knock on my door. I walk over and open the door. Its Zoe with Addison. Addison is another classmate but we rarely talk. Zoe usually brings her in conversations. Zoe comes inside and props herself on the couch while Addison sits on a rug.
"Soo...?" Zoe says as she looks over at me expecting me to say something while i simply act as if im deaf.
"You goin'?" she tries again.
"Yea, dad called zoe , i have to be there" i say
"Where exactly?" Addison interrupts
"Madrid" Me and Zoe say at the same time which makes Addison smile.
"Why? though you just finished law school. don't you think its too early to leave?" Addison questions. I find it so cute she's just like my sister. Ana.
"I'm not leaving i just am going to a family dinner brother is back in town" i sigh.
"Alright" Addison nods.
"Let's order some pizza gals" Zoe jumps.
I nod. Right now all i need is food.

My dad just left the office telling me he is back. We Alonso's don't really have rivals but when we do they pass down generations after generations. Growing up, I was always told to never ever get myself involved with a Martinez i always followed this untill a few years back i acted all against my morals. Juan Martinez was my best friend, my college partner and the brother of the most beautiful girl i ever laid my eyes on, but he did something so bad, it makes my blood boil even thinking about it. All i can think of now is how to fucking shove something down his throat to kill him.
He was my best friend. How could he betray me? I loved her, i wanted to take her, i wanted to make her mine. But that sick mother fucker didn't let me.
Someone enters my office, and my attention reverts back to the present. I glance over to see my brother, Christian. Christian isn't really my buddy brother but his presence is less shitty than my dad's.
"You heard the news?" Christian says.
"It came to me, apparently dad's working as a news anchor" i say plainly
"So you know." Christian smirks.
He is a evil guy. I don't know what christian has to with this matter but im pretty damn sure he is involved on a big frame.
"Yeah, and?" I ask
"Daniel Martinez has invited you to a dinner this Friday" He grins
"Bullshit" What the fuck. Daniel Martinez has gone mad to do that.
"Yeah no jokes aside he did and Dad wants you to go no matter what" he states.
"And what if I don't?"
"Don't even think about going against Dad ryke" he warns.
Yeah yeah same shit all over again.
I head over to my first meeting of the day which will probably fail but i still attend it hoping it would lighten my mood and brain.
