Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! OH, MY GOD! I have been out the hospital for 15 minutes and I am already in an accident! Holy crap, what the hell did I get myself into! Oh no, I can't do this! First Chloe shoots me and then puts me in a coma! And now this! I can't do it, I need to get out of here! Thank god I was able to jump out the car while the blonde demon was dazed from the crash. I needed to see my family, what has become of my parents!

I was running through the streets of Paris as fast as my feet could take me till I was standing in front of my Parents Bakery. Without a second thought, I leaped to towards the doors and saw my dad at the counter. With only two customers inside, I walked over to him and hugged the giant man. I missed my daddy! All the shit that has been happening has really made me think how precious life is. After the customers received their orders and left, my father closed shop and the two of us headed upstairs to where my house was. Once inside, my father takes a seat.

"Where's mom?" I asked.

"Uh..." My father started. "The stress of losing the house and you in a coma caused her blood pressure to rise. So she is with her Parents house in Little Heaven (get the reference). She will be back soon, she just wants to be alone for a while. Plus, she can't get a hold of your sister yet, that's adding on to the stress."

"I can't blame mom." I muttered.

"Which is why I have to ask, when did you start dating Adrien?"

"I didn't date him!" I shouted. "I got shot by Chloe with some sort of poisonous bullet. When I started to feel myself fading I asked Adrien to help me, so he made me sign this contract before saving my life."

"What does the Contract say?"

"I don't know." I muttered. "All I know is I am getting married in the next six days to a prick."

My father was silent. He had a very sour expression on his face, as if someone had farted on his or something, it was very weird looking. He pinched the edge of his nose for a second before looking up at me to say:

"Maybe...maybe this is a good thing."

"Wait...what?" I asked. He was joking...right?

"Maybe you marrying Adrien is not so bad."

"No so bad, he's a fucking killer! Let alone the son of a mobster!" I shouted. "Do you realize if I upset him, he might shoot me!"

"I know, but think about it!" My father started. "Adrien is the son of a very powerful man that can possible ether save Paris or destroy it at will."

"I don't follow." I said. My father nods his head at me before deciding to sit at the edge of the couch to get closer to me.

"Marinette, from what I saw, Adrien is head over heels for you. Do you know what that means?" My father asked me. I proceeded to shake my head no. "It means you might be able to manipulate him into destroying the Bourgeois (Thank you deebeth89)."

"What?" I asked, was my father crazy? Did all the stress finally made him crack!? He would never have agreed for me to even look at Adrien in a romantic way. I am not lying on that one, one time when I was 12, I taped a picture of Adrien to my window because I thought he was cute. My dad was so furious he grounded me for a week. And this was before I knew who and what the Agreste were.

"Marinette, I never told you this because I thought you were too young to understand. But...our history with those two families go deeper than you could ever imagine." My father started.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Look, you need to marry Adrien." My father said. "That's it."

"That's it!?" I shouted. "I hated that guy for most of my life because of everything he had done to us, now that he is putting a ring on my finger you want me to forget my hate!?"

"No...shit..." My father muttered. "Look, I need you to trust me."

"NO!" I shouted before standing up from my seat. "I don't know what kind of bullshit is going on in your head, but it ends now! I want NOTHING to do with this war of the wealthy!"

"Marinette please!" My father said, but I was done with him. I stood up from my seat, set my cup down on the table, then headed up to my bedroom. I was in no mood for this, I just came out of the hospital! I need my rest. The second I was in my room, I threw myself on to my bed and sighed. Today was a horrible day so far.

RING-RING

My phone was blasting my bra. Since my dress didn't have pockets, I just shoved the small device into my left cup. The vibration of my phone forced my body to sit up before my hand reached down into my bra to pull out my phone. I looked at the caller ID to see UNKNOWN. I slide the green button on screen to answer the call.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey, Kiddo!" A voice spoke. A voice I knew too well that put a smile on my face.

"You're okay!" I shouted. "Why haven't you called in a while, I have been so worried!"

"Sorry, things have been rough lately. " The voice spoke. "Anyway, I heard your name on the Black List. Someone has put a hit on you."

"What!?" I asked.

"Yep, three million dollars. Who have you pissed off?"

"This girl named Chloe Bourgeois, you know, the only daughter of the Bourgeois." I said. "She's pissed at me because Adrien likes me...and we might be getting married soon."

"You? Marriage?"

"I know right!" I shouted. "And dad thinks I should marry him. I think its time I exchange those birthday gifts you promise me and get the fuck out of dodge!"

"Yea, babe, you are on the Black List. That shit is deadly, that's why your father was forcing you to marry Adrien."

"I am still confused!"

"Look, when someone is put on the Black List, their given a call for the warning. The warning is, pay your head, or someone else will. In other words, you need three million in order to get out of this, and sadly I don't have that sort of cash on me."

"WHAT!?" I shouted.

"Mari, you've known about the Black Market for years, don't act stupid. I raised you better than that."

"But..."

"Marry Adrien, convince him to give you the money. Then grab as much cash as you can from him and then bounce. Trust me, the war with the Agreste and Bourgeois is something you do not want to be a part of. And also, the hunt won't be starting until a week past, so better make that day come before your due date."

"But I-BEEEEEEEEP

And like that, she hung up. Great, today is officially the worse day of my life!

Kikkie: Poor Mari. Anyway, thank you for reading! Please review and have a lovely day!
