Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“Arielle?”

She heard Luciano call, she quickly stood up and went to her door, locked it from the inside so he couldn’t get in. He tried to open it and realized it was locked, she heard him curse in a low voice.

“Arielle, open the door let’s talk, hiding in your room won’t fix a thing,”

Luciano said from outside her door, Arielle glared at the door, he was mad if he thought she would open just because he asked, she hated being made of fool off, shitting on her just because she couldn’t live up to him? What more would he do once they were married? How sure was she that he would keep to his end of the whole bargain? What if he was tricking her into marrying him and he had no plans of fulfilling his promises to her?

“Arielle? Don’t make me open the door myself, let’s talk and fix this,”

He said in a much more calmer voice but she couldn’t let that voice deceive her, that’s how it starts and then they end up arguing and he ends up saying something hurtful to her.

“Arielle? Don’t be so childish, can we talk about this like normal adults? I really don’t know why we keep fighting over the most random and little things,”

He went on, and she scoffed, she hasn’t even let him in and he already called her childish. Way to make her change her mind.

“Okay, you asked for it, I did ask nicely,”

He said minutes before the door flew open, the fucker had the key and was just talking nonsense about talking like an adult.

“Get out!”

She yelled at him when he walked in.

“I am not leaving, I am sorry I made you cry, but you have to admit it is your fault too,”

He said as he sat down on her bed.

“I don’t want to talk about anything with you, I signed it right? Do whatever you want, I don’t care, but be ready for whatever attitude I decide to portray on the day of the wedding because I damn well did not sign anything about not giving attitudes,”

Arielle let out, she sure sounded stupid to herself but she didn’t mind.

“Actually, you did, clause nine states that, you will not for any reason talk over me, especially when we are in public,”

He revealed and Arielle wanted the ground to open and swallow her.

“That’s a lie, right? You just made that up?”

“I didn’t, you really did not read what I gave you? That’s risky, you should know that,”

He said and gestured for her to sit down, she did seat but far away from him, he got up and walked to where she sat and sat next to her.

“So, I might be the devil in your head but I am not so bad that I wouldn’t listen to you, I don’t know why you signed without reading, maybe because you didn’t want to,”

“That’s not it, I am slow to reading and understanding,”

She explained cutting him off, she hated telling him her weakness but it was her fault that he was finding out anyway.

“Okay, got that, I am sorry if I said anything that hurt you,”

He said shocking her, she didn’t expect him to apologize, and the fact that he sounded like he meant it.

“I mean it,”

He said as if he read her thoughts.

“Sure, but I still don’t want a big wedding,”

She replied, she half expected him to yell or be mad again but he just kept quiet, she had to look his way, he was looking at her and was too close to her for comfort, she moved to the end of the sofa but that didn’t give enough space between them.

“The whole contract thing basically is in your favor, the only things I think you might not like are not the things you are against right now, which means you might not like the whole thing, you signed already but just a preview,”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He said and paused.

“Okay, what’s the worst for me?”

She asked in a low voice.

“Probably the fact that you just signed away any possible children that we might have in the union,”

He revealed and she shot up from her seat.

“What?”

“Relax, I am not the devil, if we do have kids, it is written that we will have joint custody but I don’t think a kid will come in so we are safe,”

“You don’t want kids?”

Arielle asked, not like she wanted to have kids with him, it would not be nice to be born to two parents who do not care for each other.

“I don’t even want to be married, Arielle,”

He answered and there was silence in the room, Arielle sat back down.

“What’s your definition of a big wedding Arielle?”

He asked after a long pause.

“Anything that involves multiple people I don’t know showing up and expecting me to wear a smiling face, something that involves the media,”

She responded.

“Oh, so what if I tell you, that’s not what I am going for, a big wedding in my family involves inviting every family member and it takes place in our family mansion, media yes but a selected few and you don’t even have to speak with them, it is not as bad as you think, I don’t like attention either but it is how things are done here,”

He explained. It didn’t seem so bad when he explained like that but she wasn’t so sure he was telling the truth.

“I don’t know,”

She said truthfully. “I really don’t know what I am doing, I feel like I am making a big mistake but I can’t even say no because what choice do I have?”

She lamented bitterly.
