Perfect Plan
Claudia Antonia Zaccarah knew she would never be perfect in her father's eyes. She knew he'd never respect her and she was sure that he wouldn't even care if she died. Hell,he'd probably throw a party! He'd sent her away from the home she had known all her life when she was sixteen,away from her brother and he had tried to kill her before so why should she care what he thought? All her life,her father had ridiculed her and threatened her with an iron fist. She had been terrified of him,a little girl with hair in her face and shaking hands,wearing red tennis shoes. An awkward,quiet little thing. Hardly ever saying a word. Then something had changed. She caught Trevor staring at her on more than one occasion and she supposed she grew more confident. She began to taunt and tease her father's employee,coyly flirting with him. If she could get Trevor to do something horrible to her and time the situation correctly for when her father would stroll in,she could see how much he cared.
The day that changed her life,a few days after her sixteenth birthday,she had seduced Trevor and ended up having sex with him. When her father caught them,she was surprised when he started calling her names and when he tossed her out of the house as if she were garbage telling her to never return. That was when she moved in with her uncle. She learned everything she could about the mob so she could one day take over the Zaccarah organization.
Now,years later her father was trying to control her again. Trying to force her to marry Sonny. What he didn't realize,however was that she was just...like....him despite how much he accused her of being exactly like her mother. She knew the truth. She could be just as mean and ruthless as him. She knew how to use people for her own benefit and SHE would have the very last laugh.
After all,she could force her father to respect her. The lessons she had been taught had not been for nothing. For the first time ever her father needed her to seal a deal and she would make the most of it that she could. She'd show her father exactly how much of a bitch she could be. She wasn't a weak,soft spoken little thing like Johnny's mother,Maria had been. A woman who time and time again,pleaded with Anthony not to harm his daughter. And as much as she looked like her mother,she wasn't her either. Claudia knew just how to manipulate people unlike either of them and that was something that would prove itself useful to her.
She smiled sinisterly at her father's body which lay in the hospital bed as still as she'd ever seen him. He wouldn't even know what had hit him when she finally put her plan into action and she couldn't wait.
