Clara POV
I was standing over an edge with a gun aimed at my heart, it hurts so much. I loved them so much, but they never said I was their equal, only a maid, not a wife.
Their empty I love you still rings in my ear every minute, they come running towards me. All this time it was an obsession, not love.
"We won't punish, just lower your weapon, and please come back here," Carlos replied. I am currently married to three brothers who completely broke me.
"I am tired, you took me away from my home and family. I thought I could love you, but you guys are just monsters."
"We will try harder, just don't leave us," Lorenzo answered.
"That's the thing, you don't change at all. One minute you are nice and the next I'm in a basement, and you're trying to break me by starving and hurting me."
"We are Mafia men, we don't have to care about your feelings," the oldest Alexander replied.
"I know since the moment you forced me to have sex with you on our wedding night. I cried and begged you to stop, that I wasn't ready, but you just thrust it in."
"This is a warning, get away from the cliff or the punishment will be a lot worse than starvation."
I looked towards the sky, "I guess I won't starve when I'm dead, and at least I'll see my baby again."
"Our child was weak that's why he couldn't survive plus you're just bluffing, I dare you to shoot."
Bang
I coughed up some blood and fell off the cliff, it felt like something just pierced my chest and I looked in that direction, there was a pointy stone that went through my body.
The last thing I saw before closing my eyes was all three of them in pain and crying. Alexander for once was crying at the mistake he made.
When I closed my eyes, I saw a light, and then I heard an older man's voice.
"Congratulations, it's a girl."
I opened my eyes and saw a woman all sweaty and a man who was beside her. I tried to say something, but all I heard was a cry.
"Did you pick a name for her?" The doctor asked.
"Yes, Lily."
"Well Lily, welcome to your new life." After that, the doctor handed me off to the nurse.
So let me get this straight after being tortured by all three of my husbands, having miscarried my child because of them hurting me, and ending my fucking life I have to begin again.
Put me back, I don't want to live in this world. I had my hardships, where is my heaven after death. I hope to God since this is a new life, Carlos, Alexander and Lorenzo won't find me.
18 years later
It's been 18 long years since I was born, both my parents are amazing. My dad can cook, and my mom is great at drawing landscapes. We only have one rule between my dad and me, don't eat mom's cooking.
"Lily, come downstairs, I made oatmeal." When I got downstairs I saw mom in an apron.
"Mom, dad banned you from the kitchen."
"I am hurt, my beautiful daughter, anyways, we are going to a party today." She began talking about the elegant party while I remade my breakfast. Even though I am in my new life, I look exactly like my past self.
I don't check up on the guys anymore because it gets sadder and sadder. When I searched up their names back when I was 10 I found out that they became more ruthless. Lorenzo the youngest became so sad that he tried to end his life, but the others stopped him.
"So get changed now."
"Why?"
"You really need to listen when I say something important or one day you'll lose that head of yours, as I was saying, get ready now because the car ride there is 7 hours long."
By the time I was done getting ready, it was already 1 pm. Mom didn't want me to eat anything, since she didn't want me to end up ruining the dress. She said the only reason we are going is that they want to purchase a few pictures and get a painting done.
The people buying her paintings are a happy couple that are loaded.
Time skip
When we got to the party, my parents left to go mingle while I looked around. I was getting bored until I noticed a table filled with food. Too bad they don't have popcorn. I began to eat something, but I felt something cold meet my back.
I turned around and saw a waiter dropping wine on my dress. I let it go since it was a mistake, and he began to apologize a hundred times.
I asked him where the bathroom was, and he pointed in that direction. When I began going that way I saw nobody was here and everything felt empty.
I decided to open a random door since I can't find the bathroom. When I opened the door, I saw three people I never expected to find. OK, you got this Lily, just pretend like you don't know them, and hopefully, they don't see past my lies.
"Hello my name is L-lily, do you know w-where the bathroom is?"
"Carla," I saw Lorenzo coming up to me, his eyes began to water. What do I do, there is no way in hell I want that life again?
Alexander POV
Carlos and I were trying to stop Lorenzo from hurting himself again, when our angel jumped off the cliff, we all realized we were monsters. Instead of caring for her during her pregnancy, we only cared about our needs.
Fuck, it was her first time being pregnant, and she hated us to the core. We took her away from everything she loved, every time she tried to escape we broke her more and more.
We broke her to the point she thought death was better than living. We hadn't had sex in the past 19 years, ever since she left us. Living has become too difficult, we tried getting another girl when she first died, but they weren't her.
I can still remember her body, it was engraved into my mind. Did we even care about her when we had sex? One of us would hold her legs while the other fucked her.
I heard the door open and saw someone I never thought I'd see again. Carla was back, but she looked way younger, maybe she's not Carla, before I could ask anything she talked first.
She said her name and asked where the bathroom was, I was going to answer, but Lorenzo went up to her. He called our wife's name and she flinched.
"You're our Carla, aren't you?"
She began to shake her head no, but I knew it was her. My love somehow came back to us, thank you, moon goddess. She ran towards the door and began to run away from us.
I didn't have time to talk to my brothers because I raced out the doors too. My brothers were following me as well. She darted into the ballroom, Carla ran to an older lady and a man, she hugged the man while crying into his shoulder.
"Hello, my name is Alexander," the couple looked worried before smiling at me.
"Sorry if she did anything to you, you know how teens can get". He began rubbing her back, trying to get her to calm down. I looked over to his wife and realized she was a painter that my friends invited.
"You're a small painter from Illinois, I would love it if you would come on my yacht and paint a few family portraits. My brothers Carlos and Lorenzo won't mind at all."
"OK, when would you like them done?"
"Let's get started early, my brother and I have to return home soon, how about after this party you come with us."
"I'm sorry sir, but it seems our daughter is not feeling well, can we reschedule?"
"We can't, we are willing to pay 1 million for each drawing."
"Lily, please bear with it, after this, we don't have to worry for a long time."
"Mom, I'll get a part-time job at Chipotle or Walmart, just please don't go." Her name is so beautiful, my brothers and I regret all the things we did. I hope we can make things right and tell her the truth about us.
We three have not aged for a really long time because we are not human. The reason she attracted us to her was because of the mate bond. We are alpha kings, but Carla never knew this, she already considered us as monsters.
I shifted into my wolf in front of her once but had to erase all the memories because she freaked out every time we came by her.
"Lily, no you are not working anywhere you're only 18, also suck it up, young lady. We are going, this way we don't have to depend on your dad's job."
"Hey what's wrong with my job, as a teacher, I make bank."
"NEVER and I mean NEVER talk like you're a person from a younger generation, you know what just for that go sit in the car." The wife said sternly.
I heard our princess giggle, and the man began to walk towards the door.
"It's like I'm raising one cat and a child."
"Hey, I'm a mature, independent woman who can one day marry Tony Stark."
