Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“I don’t believe you, why would he say that? I am his wife,”

Arielle let out, she was so angry right now, Yoey was doing this knowing Luciano is not here to confirm it and there is no way of her knowing without going to see him, she needed to see him now more than ever.

“Let’s see, maybe because you are so slow, don’t you think? Going to the station, what’s that going to do to help him? Think about it, what will your going there change? Will it make them free him or are you just going to go there and shed a few tears and pull a pity show?”

He asked.

“Look, I know you hate me, I don’t know the reason and I don’t care but what I won’t stand is you being insulting toward me when I haven’t done or said anything that would warrant such insult, my husband will never not want to see me, so cut this crappy story you made up just because you hate me and let me go see him, what I do there is none of your fucking business,”

Arielle yelled out each word, she was beyond frustrated but she wasn’t going to back out until he either took her to him or let the driver take her, if not, she would get a cab and go there herself.

“I am sorry, I am frustrated, I don’t even know how to deal with everything going on, if it were up to me, you will be there already, I don’t hate you like you are assuming, I am sorry if I said those words, I am just tired and there seem not to be an end to this, I said the wrong words but I didn’t make anything up, everything I said is exactly what I was told by your husband.”

Yoey explained in a much more calm voice, but still, Arielle did not believe a word he said. If she hadn’t seen how happy Luciano had been to see her yesterday, maybe she would have believed.

“I don’t believe you, he would never say that,”

She responded and she watched Yoey facepalm in frustration.

“Fine, I will take you to him, so that you will hear him say those words himself, but not today, Friday,”

He said and Arielle calmed down until he said Friday which was three whole days away, she didn’t want to believe Luciano would be kept in police custody for that long but knowing that it was murder related,Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Why Friday though?”

She asked in a weary tune.

“Friday because every other day this week is busy for everyone who works for your husband, can I go now, I really need to go because I have a lot to do today and when you look at the time, you will let me go,’

He said and she did look at the time, it was past three pm already, she let out a sad breath and nodded before walking away from him.

Arielle went back to their room feeling even sadder than she had been when she found out he was arrested, she wished it was all just a bad dream and she would wake up next to him in bed and they will both just laugh it off but no matter how she wished, it just looked too real to be a dream, she knew he didn’t do it, he loved his grandfather too much to have killed him, not when he has been breaking his back all week to fix things for him.

“My husband is not a murderer,”

She said to herself, he was a lot of things but she was sure he didn’t kill his grandfather. Her phone rang and she hurriedly got up to pick it up, it was Lily, ever since they exchanged numbers at her wedding, they haven’t called or spoken to each other once, heck she hasn’t even heard from her since her wedding, Luciano didn’t like her so she had stayed away from her, now she was calling her after Don was declared dead, she didn’t want to take the call at first because she didn’t know what she would say to lily, her husband was suspected of killing her man what reason would she have to call her now, Arielle watched the phone ring until the call ended unanswered, she dropped it and lay on the bed wishing for this all to go away.

“I am sorry Lily,”

She whispered. Her phone rang again, and she continued ignoring it until she just couldn’t anymore, whatever Lily had to say to her must be important for her to continuously keep calling.

“Arielle, why aren’t you taking your calls? I have been trying to reach you, do you think I blame you for Don’s death, is that why you are not taking my calls?’

The older woman asked over the phone, Arielle could tell that she had been crying, she felt so bad for ignoring her call.

“I am sorry Lily, I wasn’t ignoring you, I wasn’t with my phone and I just got it back now,”

Arielle lied.

“Can we meet up? I need a friend right now and I know you do too, seeing that your man was arrested for the murder of my man,”

Lily said. Arielle didn’t like how she sounded, Luciano didn’t kill him and she was sure.

“Wrongly arrested, Luciano did not kill his grandfather and I am sure of it,”

Arielle responded firmly.

“I know that, do you think I would be calling you if I thought for a moment that your husband murdered my Savior?” I know he didn’t that’s why I want us to meet up, I need to get justice for his death and you need your husband free, we need each other now,”

Lily said. Arielle had never heard her speak in such a voice before, she was glad she didn’t think Luciano killed Don.

“Alright, I will come to meet with you, I am so sorry for your loss Lily,”

She said sympathetically, she realized just how heartbreaking the news must have been for the older woman who Don had helped and given a new life, she should never have ignored her call.

“I will come to see you by morning Lily, please take care of yourself,”

She told.

“Yeah, please know I am no longer at the mansion, Don and I had a fight and I moved out, I knew I shouldn’t have, now he is dead, I should have stayed with him,”

She cried blaming herself.

“It is not your fault, Lily, bad things just happen, please don’t blame yourself, take care,”

Arielle said and they spoke for a few minutes more before she hung up, she lay on the bed again feeling angry and sad at the same time, someone killed Don, took him away from Lily, and framed her husband for it, the Siegel empire that was already struggling would be destroyed by this and there was no stopping, she wiped the tears that gathered in her eyes, feeling bad for both Luciano and Don, they didn’t deserve what was happening to them, yeah a couple of months ago, she would have laughed and even be happy at Luciano’s downfall but not anymore, now she knew him and liked him, seeing him go through such hard times wasn’t easy for her and she hated that her hands were tied, hopefully not for long, she would meet up with Lily and they will both find ways to get justice for Don and clear Luciano’s name…
