Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

After Luciano left her room, Arielle tried to make sense of what had happened between them, one minute she was hating him and wishing he would just let her go and the next minute, he not only made her agree to marry him, but he also made her agree to the crazy wedding he proposed, she stared at the diamond ring he had placed on her fingers, never in her life had she imagined that she would ever own a diamond jewel not to talk of the said diamond being her engagement ring, it was pretty and simple but it held her hostage, it was a symbol of her captivity.

“Well, it is just for two years and you will be free, then you will have money, find the betrayers, and make them suffer,”

She said to herself, yes, she had plans to find her parents when her marriage with Luciano ends, she would find them and make them pay for setting her up and running away, they can’t run forever, and knowing how wasteful they are, they would be out of money in no time, and they might come looking for her, expecting her to still be the fool and push over daughter, that’s when she would show them.

The next morning, Arielle woke up to the designer already at the mansion, the designer was younger than she had thought, maybe in her late twenties and she looked really beautiful she was well spoken that for the first couple of minutes that Ariel spent on her present, she had to keep herself in check and watch what she said and did, that was until it was time to pick a dress and all the dresses she showed Ariel were glamorous and too luxurious.

“I don’t think any of these dresses will do, they are all pretty of course but I don’t think it fits with what I have in mind,”

Ariel voiced.

“I see you are a picky bride,”

She said and Ariel felt offended by her tone and choice of words.

“I am not picky, I just want something simple and elegant,”

She said to the stylist who shook her head in disapproval.

“That’s not what I was told, yes, we will definitely give you elegant but simple, no, no, no, it just doesn’t go with the kind of wedding your fiancé told us about.

“Whatever he told you about does stand here, I am the one who is going to wear the dress, not him and I get to pick what I will like to wear, simple is what I want, you get it done for me or I ask someone else to do it,”

Ariel responded, she was sure she just need to say the words for Luciano to replace the designer.

“I am sorry if I offended you, we will go with whatever you pick, you are the bride, of course, it is your choice,”

She said in a much more respectful and calm tune and just like that, Ariel was able to pick the dress she wanted, it was simple yet pretty and when the designer sent the style she had picked to Luciano, he approved of it, well not like he even knew anything about wedding dresses in the first place.

After meeting with the designer and picking a fit, the next sets of people that visited the mansion were the hair stylists and the wedding planner, they both came together and unlike the designer, Ariel had a fun time talking to them even though the wedding planner was kind of strict, she was still fun to work with.

The days flew by and before Arielle could know it, it was four days to her wedding, and surprisingly not so surprising everything was ready, it did not even look like they had just two weeks to plan the wedding, like she had expected, Luciano and the mystery girl he chooses to marry were already the talks of the town, of course, she didn’t need to leave the house to know, the wedding planner, Naomi fed all the news to her and she had to act all excited and thrilled about the news when in reality, she was scared, she didn’t want anyone knowing about the true reason she was marrying into the Siegel family and so far, nothing from her background has been talked about, she truly hopes it would stay that way until the end of their marriage.

“Your fiancé will be in for the rehearsals today,”

The wedding planner announced.

“I am aware,”

Ariel let responded even though she wasn’t, she had been rehearsing on her own all week long, according to the wedding planner, apparently, she had a lot of mannerisms to fix and that’s what she has been spending all her day doing these days, that she could even remember doing it in her sleep.

“My lady,”

She heard his voice and turned around to see him spreading out his hands, it took a moment for what he was asking for to register, and she looked around the room to see everyone watching her, keeping back the words that she really wanted to say to him, she walked up to him and got into his arms.

“I thought you were going to reject me for a second,”

He whispered against her ear.

“I was going to but I figured I have to work to earn the money you promised,”

She responded.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Oh, always, money fixes everything,”

He said as he greeted the wedding planner.

“Your wife-to-be has been nothing but excellent, and we are good to go, except you didn’t show up when I told you to and now you are telling me you are only going to be here just this once,”

The wedding planner complained.

“Naomi, don’t worry, everything will be perfect, I am a pro at learning new things and I will master it by the end of today,”

He responded.

“Well, technically, we don’t have all day as it is already six pm, we only have one hour, so let’s not waste it.”

Naomi responded.

“Let’s do this then, I will show you just his much of a pro I am,”

He said pulling her along with him, and yes, he did show he was a pro, it took only a few tries for him to master everything that took her a whole week plus to do, when the wedding planner and everyone else finally left, Ariel was left alone with Luciano in the big hall that was to be used as their wedding venue, the fact that he had such a huge hall in his mansion wasn’t so surprising, she has been living here for weeks now and still barely know the whole place.
