Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Luciano’s grandfather said pointing at a lady sitting under a shade, she looked pretty young, maybe in her forties, and must be his daughter or something. Arielle turned to Luciano for help as she had no intentions of saying hello to anyone.

“Deda? A new woman? Isn’t she too young for you?”

Luciano questioned killing the thoughts of Lilybee being the old man’s daughter.

“What do you mean? I am only in my seventies, plus, she looks younger than her age, she is forty-five, she has been here for a while now, you just don’t care enough to notice,”

His grandfather said in a scolding voice, well, Arielle wasn’t surprised that Luciano was self-centered.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Go say hi, while I talk with Deda, and we will be on our way right after,”

Luciano said shoving her a little in the direction of the woman, Arielle hesitated a little, she wasn’t good with people and prefers not to meet new people but if she was going to be Luciano’s wife, she needed to get to know his relatives, she walked reluctantly towards the older woman.

“Hi, I have been waiting to talk to you,”

The woman said as soon as she got within talking distance, she stood up and hugged her, Arielle was shocked by the gesture but accepted it anyway.

“Hello, my name is Arielle, it is nice to meet you,”

She said politely.

“I am Lily, but Don calls me Lilybee, you can call me that too, it’s good to have some young and pretty company,”

She said in an excited voice.

“Thanks, Lily,”

“Seat, Seth please get her something to drink,”

She said to the man that was standing at the entrance of the shade, he walked away and soon returned with juice which she politely accepted, thankfully, they didn’t offer her alcohol, she took a sip and smiled at Lily.

“Thank you for your warm welcome,”

Arielle said to the woman who smiled.

“It is not a problem, this is the first time since I came to live here that Luciano has brought any woman home, you are lucky,”

The lady said and Arielle smiled, if only she knew how she got to be here, Luciano might not bring other women home but he does know his way around women and she had enough proof, even witnessed firsthand what he did with women.

“Thank you,”

She said instead of the other words that were fighting to get out of the surface, no need to tell a stranger what was really going on, especially if the stranger is related to Luciano.

Arielle looked to see Luciano speaking with his grandfather, he looked kind of tense and she wondered what they might be discussing for him to look so disturbed. She guessed it might be something serious, but since it was none of her business, she focused on what the pretty lady was talking about.

“So? When will the wedding be? According to Don, It’s been forever since anyone got married in the family, Macko is getting married too but I am not very excited about that because Macko is a clown,”

She revealed, Arielle wasn’t sure how to respond because she didn’t know who Macko was and really didn’t want to make a fool out of herself so she just nodded.

“My bad, you might not know who he is because he and Luciano can’t stand each other,”

She revealed.

“Who is he?”

Arielle was forced to ask.

“He is Luciano’s cousin and competition, he is as good-looking as Luciano but he is a big loser, he has been around the mansion a couple of years of times since I got here,”

She explained.

“Aha,”

She responded. She didn’t want to say more because she wasn’t so sure of Lily’s relationship with the Macko guy.

“When did you meet Luciano? I started dating Don eight months ago and this is the third time Luciano is showing up here, he might not even know who I am because he really doesn’t care about anything except business,”

Lily said and Arielle had to agree, Luciano was business-minded, and everything he does sort of relates to business for him, even their relationship had to do with what he tended to gain.

“We met a few months ago,”

She lied.

“Oh wow, must have been love at first sight then, lucky you,”

Lily said and Arielle took a sip from her juice.

“So? Who are your parents? I must say, they have to be elites for you to have met a Siegel,”

Lily said and Arielle almost choked on her juice, how wrong could she be?

“Oh, my God. I am so sorry, I talk too much, right? I am sorry, you don’t have to answer me,”

Lily said and Arielle let out a sigh of relief.

“It is not a problem Lily, I just don’t deal well with new people, I am sorry if I am not as friendly as you would like,”

She apologized.

“It is fine, I asked too much when we just met, I don’t like talking about my family either, too painful a memory, if not for Don, I would probably be dead too,”

She revealed.

“Why is that?”

Arielle couldn’t help asking, both their situations were clearly different and she wanted to know what happened because just talking about it seemed to make Lily so tense and scared.

“Oh, it is nothing much, just that my ex-husband did a lot of bad things that got people on our back and they got us, my stepson and my husband were killed and the rest of us were displaced, I got in the wrong hands and only Don saved me, he bought me,”

She disclosed. “Oh wow,”

Was all Arielle could say, their situation might not be the same but how they got here with the Siegel was pretty much the same, Arielle couldn’t compare with the pains Lily had gone through but she could relate to being bought, the difference is Don bought her to save her whole Luciano bought her for his own gain, after the disclosure, Lily seems to lose her will to talk so they both just sat in silence, Arielle silently praying for Luciano to look her way, but he was so deep in the conversation he was having with his grandfather.
