Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“Wait? What do you mean we are getting married in two weeks?”

Arielle asked in shock, she knew she agreed to marry him but two weeks? Why was he in such a hurry anyway? They don’t even get along enough to get married yet, she literally agreed to him yesterday.

“Yes, Arielle, there is no point in taking so long to get married, Don likes you and the sooner we get this done, the sooner we will both get what we want,”

He responded.

“Who is Don?”

She asked in confusion, she couldn’t remember meeting anyone called Don at his grandfather’s house.

“My grandfather, Arielle, you must have heard that name at his house, are you so forgetful?”

He questioned, he just insulted her again but she chose to ignore him because she was still not done processing the marriage talk.

“You agreed to marry me, what’s wrong with doing it early?”

He asked.

“I never said it was wrong, Luciano, don’t get me wrong, I just don’t get why you are in haste, won’t it come off as rushed? People would want to know when we started dating and you suddenly want us to be married? I bet the media is going to have a field day talking about it,”

Arielle let out. She wasn’t known but Luciano was, the only way she knew about him was because of his numerous dating scandals, everything about him always made the news and she was so sure that this will be major big news for everyone, sudden marriage, heck the press are gonna have a field day.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“That’s it? You are scared of what people would say? Arielle? This is between us, the media would say things even if we date for five years and get married after, I don’t care, and why I am in a haste? I can’t tell you much but I want us to be married by the end of the month if not my grandfather isn’t going to listen, and I need him to listen, marrying you is the only way to get him to cooperate with me, I have told you this before,”

He replied.

“I know, and I also know I agreed to this but two weeks? How are you gonna put a wedding together in two weeks? Plus, you do know there is no one to give me away right? I don’t have any family,”

She argued, two weeks was too short a notice for her to get married, not when he was making her doubt her decision to agree to marry him, two weeks? She couldn’t do it.

“There are numerous people who can give a bride away even if they are not related, we can also have you walk in on your own, or Deda can do that, that’s not a problem.”

He said. that, she could agree to but the two weeks were still taking her out.

“I get that part, but two weeks?”

“Two weeks is a long time to put together a wedding Arielle, did you forget who I am? I just need to snap a finger for it to be done, if I want the wedding to be tomorrow, trust me it will, I just want to give you time to prepare yourself which is why I am giving a two weeks notice.”

He responded in a nonchalant voice.

“Two weeks is too short, I can’t do it, you can’t make a decision like marriage by yourself or you will end up marrying yourself on the wedding day, because I won’t be there,”

She said, meaning every word, she wasn’t going to marry him and regret it right after, she needed time to think about this whole thing that she agreed to do, needed time to figure out if it was worth it and if she could take his messy attitude for two whole years, two weeks was not near enough time to do all that.

“Well, if you won’t do it, I will drag you there myself, I have made my decision and there is no going back, I didn’t tell you because I wanted your opinion on this, I told you so that you will be aware,”

He responded harshly.

“What? This concerns me so why can’t I have a say in it?”

She fired at him.

“Should I spell it out, Arielle? Should I? I will, because you have no charge over your life, the minute I paid for you, because I own you, because whatever I say is what we do! Do you get it now?”

He questioned, once again belittling her and he wants her to marry him?

“I won’t do it, I take back what I said before, I am not going to marry you, Luciano,”

She yelled at him.

“Did you forget the part where you don’t have a choice or a say in this? Maybe I have been too nice to you, maybe that’s why you think you get to decide, guess what? I am done being nice, we will be married by the end of the month whether you want it or not so better be ready, oh and don’t try to pull one of those your escape games on me again, I would make sure you regret it, you don’t know the half of the things I can do to you, don’t make me mad,”

He responded firmly, maybe because she just woke up, but she sensed a major change in him, he was harsher and his eyes were glaring angrily at her.

“I won’t do as you say,”

She grimaced.

“We will see who the boss is, I have the contract prepared and it will arrive by tomorrow, be ready to read and sign, think about the reason you agreed to this in the first place, maybe you have forgotten, I don’t have the time or the luxury to remind you Arielle, and there is no backing out, I hope you come back to your senses by morning,”

He said and stormed out of her room, leaving her seated on her bed with her thoughts all over the place, two weeks? No way, she couldn’t do it.
