BPOV

His long, thin fingers tap on the expensive mahogany desk below them. His nails drum rhythms into the wood. His eyes are a dark menacing black as they take me in, deciding my fate.

"You…have become quite a problem." His voice sends chills down my spine and my heart races. "Within my line of work, you understand that I cannot afford to have problems?"

"Sir-I…I'm so sorry, if you'd just give me another chance, I won't disappoint you." My voice shakes as I fight the urge to begin sobbing in both fear and embarrassment.

"I don't give second chances Isabella. You disobeyed direct orders. You thought not of the family but of yourself and in doing so, put everyone in danger. You could have given away the location of the drop you, stupid insolent girl!" His voice gets louder with every sentence until he's screaming. "Your brother would have been there! Your uncles! Your father! You just prance around that fucking boat yard like it is your right, not caring about the label attached to your name. I ought to put a bullet in your fucking skull for your ineptitude."

"Dad…I didn't know…I was just going to take the boat out for an hour or two. I didn't know the deal was going down today. Nobody told me." I keep my voice small. Knowing my father, It'll piss him off more but I don't have the courage to actually look at him any longer.

"You are a Swan, Isabella. You are the daughter of one of the most notorious crime lords in all of the United States. Not only could I have lost you today, but your whole family could have been wiped out because you decided to bring your friends onto my boat without clearing it with me. Do you understand the danger you've put on the whole family? Do you?" His voice is gruff, his eyes lightening.

"Si papa. Capisco. Mi Dispiace di averti deluso. Non accadra mai piu." Yes Dad. I understand. I am sorry I disappointed you. It will never happen again. I speak softly in Italian, still trying to calm him down.

He sighs and runs his fingers over his mustache. "Vai a vedere se tua madra ha bisogno di aiuto con la cena. Ti amo bellezza mia." Go, and see if your mother needs help with dinner. I love you my beauty.

I nod my head and stand. "Ti amo anache io papa." I love you too Dad.

As I leave my fathers office, I let out a long breath. Honestly, I expected much worse than a scolding. Here I was, nineteen years old and still being controlled by my father. Of course, Charles Swan was a man that you listened to when he spoke.

He was sixteen when he found out he was adopted and that the man who had fathered him, Aro Volturi was a "don". Basically, the boss of the Italian mafia stationed here in the states. My grandfather still controlled the operations in Italy for now until he dies, and my father takes over there while my brother takes over here in the states. My grandfather is obsessed with tradition. I am not as…Acknowledged as my brother simply for the fact that I have a vagina and not a dick.

Anyway, when my dad found out that he was actually somebody...He dropped everything and became what my grandfather wanted him to be. His adoptive parents had died, probably at the hands of my grandfather, and he took his role as the son of the great Aro Volturi. The only thing he wouldn't do was change his last name. He wanted to remain a Swan. My dad met my mom, popped out a couple of kids and lived happily ever after.

"Hey troublemaker." My brother smirks and tugs my hair.

I growl and swat his hand away. "What do you want?"

He chuckles deeply, looking like my father in that moment. "I want to know when you're going to grow the fuck up Iz. I'm getting tired of cleaning up your messes. We had to stop the shipment from coming in today. 200 grand worth of guns…Gone. All because of you. You're lucky that Dad didn't bury you six feet under."

"Fuck you Demetri. Why don't you just go kiss Dad's ass some more. Maybe then he'll let you hold his gun like a big boy." I smirk. It's no secret that my dad doesn't trust my brother to run shipments on his own. Last time he tried, about two tons of cocaine ended up at the bottom of the ocean.

"I fucked up one time. Once. You well…Your first fuck-up was being born and god knows there's been plenty ever since." Demetri grabs my face tightly and huffs. "Stop fucking around. Get your shit together and grow up." He lets me go and pushes past me, heading to his wing of the compound sized mansion that we call home.

My older brother, by six years, has always hated me. All I have to do is breathe and he's pissed. Demetri Charles Swan is obsessed with someday becoming the don. It is his only goal and anything getting in the way of that goal is an inconvenience. I'm a prime example of something getting in the way.

I make my way into the kitchen, moaning as the smells surround me. "Hey Ma." I grin and jump up to sit on the counter.

"Hello my darling daughter." She smirks back and shakes her head. "Causing more trouble already? Wasn't it just last week you totaled your father's precious Rolls Royce? Y'know he says he doesn't give second chances but you my girl…You've gotten hundreds."

"C'mon mom, it's not like I did that on purpose! There was black ice!" I huff and grab a pinch of cheese, dropping it into my mouth.

Mom puts everything down and turns toward me. "Bella…This is serious. You don't live in a normal family, as much as I know you want to. One day…If you keep pushing the limits, you're going to get pushed back and no one is going to be able to save you. Not me. Not your brother. Not your father. I love you Isabella, I don't want to see anything happen to you." She reaches up and cups my cheek.

I nod my head solemnly, "I'll try to be better mama. More…Responsible."

"Thank you, baby. Now, help me finish this up so that we can eat. You know how your father gets on an empty stomach." She grins and I hop off the counter. My mom and I finish dinner with the radio blasting, singing along to the songs we know and struggling to keep up with the ones we don't.
