Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Arielle decided to take a walk around the mansion since she spent all day in her room, it was almost six pm and the evening winds was already blowing softly, she walked in the direction she had taken the previous day, she was waiting for Luciano to get back, she couldn’t believe she was actually going to give him the answer he wanted, a week ago, she would have spat on him and told him to go fuck himself, heck even last night, she would have but today? Having thought about it, it was for the best.

“You seem to like this part of the mansion a lot,”

She heard his voice before she turned and saw him walk towards her, he was wearing casual clothes and came from within the mansion.

“When did you get back?”

She asked.

“About four hours ago, I came back earlier because there is nothing much I had to do at the office, plus I rather we finish what we were talking about yesterday,”

He answered walking up to her and pulling her along with him towards the sitting area, she removed herself from his hold and stood a short distance away from him, and he smiled. She didn’t even know he had been home and she was waiting for him, well it was her fault for staying in her room all day.

“So? Have you thought about it? Would you do it?”

He asked, he looked like he wanted her to say yes so badly which got her wondering why he wanted her to marry him when he could get any other woman to do it, like she knew thousands of more qualified women would agree to marry him, not like she doesn’t think she is qualified but there is a lot of other things and she wasn’t any of those things.

“Why me though? Why did you have to go through all the trouble, put up with me and everything? When you can get anyone easily, I just don’t get why you choose me, why?”

She couldn’t resist asking, he looked at her for a moment, maybe he was trying to figure out why he chose her too, she waited calmly for his answers, she already made up her mind that she was going to say yes anyway, might as well hear why he decided to pay such huge sum to marry her, for business doesn’t seem to be the best explanation since a well business-minded woman would have been a better choice than her.

“I am gonna tell you the truth because I don’t see any point in hiding it from you, sit down,”

He instructed and she obeyed silently, looking at him expectantly, he sat down too.

“I hate marriage, I hate anything that had to do with being owned by another person,”

He continued and she couldn’t help the bitter laughter that came out.

“What’s funny?”

He asked, seemingly offended by her laughter.

“You just said you don’t like being owned but for as long as I can remember, you have been going on about owning me, doesn’t that contradict what you just said?”

She asked in all seriousness.

“I own you, Arielle, it is totally different from the kind of owning I am talking about right now,”

“Mind explaining?”

She asked.

“Yes, I will, firstly, you owe me money, that you can’t pay back, at least not in the next fifty years, except you win a huge jackpot, so I own you, what I mean by not wanting to be owned is, I don’t feel, I don’t expect you to feel anything for me either, we have good chemistry and we will be great in bed but that’s it,”

He said and she felt her body heat up at his words, he was right about them having chemistry, she could feel the tension even when he wasn’t touching her, he just needed to look at her a certain way for her panties to be damp, she knew if he touches her, she would melt.

“Okay, is that all?”

She chipped in when he went silent, there was too much nonsense going on in her head and she didn’t want to stay there.

“I was waiting for you to say something, anyway, you work better than the other ladies that you think are better choices,”

“How so?”

She asked.

“It is simple, you won’t be demanding and you certainly would not ask for more than I am willing to give,”

“You know this, how? I can be very demanding if I won’t be, don’t be fooled,”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

She replied.

“You don’t get it? I own you, marrying me will be doing yourself a favor, plus I am willing to add more favors, but if I pick a woman who isn’t indebted to me in any way, she would want things I don’t want to give,”

He stated. She didn’t want to argue so she kept quiet.

“Anyway, I weighed my pros and cons before I settled for you, so rest assured that I made the right choice,”

He concluded but she still didn’t get him, if he hated marriage as much as he claimed why then was he asking her to marry him?

“I still don’t get why you want to be married if you don’t like marriage or commitment. You could go about your life normally without tying the knots right? What’s the big deal here?”

She inquired.

“My grandfather is the big deal, he believes that a man needs to be married to be a real man,”

“You listen to your grandfather? I thought you were independent and the big bad mafia boss?”

She couldn’t resist asking, she couldn’t imagine Luciano doing what his grandfather asked of him.

“There is a huge catch, I need something, and getting married will secure it, you won’t understand,”

“You can make me understand,”

She replied.

“I choose not to, will you still do it? If you say no, then I can send you to work in one of my factories and your income will be divided into two, one part for paying your debt and you do whatever you want with the other part, need I mention that it will take forever to pay back, or,”

He said and paused.

“Or what?”

She inquired.

“Or you could agree to marry me and have all your debt cleared, we can get a divorce in a year or two and you will be a free woman with loads of money and properties, plus I can promise you great, mind-blowing and soul scattering sex, I know you want me,”

He said the last part with a tune of male pride and she felt her face heat up, she wanted to be free from him but what he offered for being his wife was more enticing than the other, plus, she would gain her freedom faster that way, she would be a fool to not agree.

“We can have all the fun and explore all the heat between us, aside from sex, which would be great, I can teach you a whole lot of things, and set you up for a great future even when we are no longer together, plus you get to be called..”

“I will do it,”

She announced cutting him off, he seemed taken aback by her words and did a double-check.

“Really? You are not about to ask for your freedom? I just gave you a chance to walk away, you could have easily taken that,”

He said and she had to resist the urge to roll her eyes, yeah right, freedom? When he just made his offer so enticing? Plus she couldn’t deny that she wanted him any more, like he said, they could have a thing going on without catching feelings and she wanted to have him.

“I am going to marry you Luciano, I don’t know why you are so surprised when you just listed out what I will benefit and all I have to do is play wifey for you,”

She responded.

“Oh wow, this is great then, but I must warn you, I am never going to love you,”

He said without feeling and her heart skipped a beat but she didn’t give it much thoughts, she would not be falling for him either, whatever is going to be between them would just be sex and the money she would gain from the whole thing, it sounded like she was selling herself but then again, she was already sold and bought, what different did it make? Zero.

“I am not gonna love you either,”

She responded in a determined voice, she didn’t even know what love is, she never held anyone dear, her parents weren’t loving enough for her to hold feelings for them, if she actually loved them, she would miss their presence right? But she didn’t and that’s what’s going to happen when both her and Luciano part ways too.

“All good then, I will begin the paper works and we will be married soon,”

He said and she nodded.

“Now, to make it official,”

He said getting up from where he sat, he pulled her up too and wrapped his hands around her, before she could guess what he was gonna do, he bent and claimed her lips in a warm sensual kiss that made her knees coil, he cupped her head and kissed her deeply, she held onto him, kissing him back, pressing her body against him, wanting more, but he pulled back and she almost protested.

“We are going to do just fine in marriage if this is how you respond to me, there is a reward in waiting so we call it a day here, let’s go inside, I need to speak with my lawyer to draw out that contract,”

He said pulling her along with him, she was still dazed from his intense but brief kiss, and she licked her lips to savor his taste.

“Damn girl, I am proud of you, of us,”

The voice inside her said as she followed Luciano back into the mansion, she wasn’t so sure she should be proud of what she did but if her subconsciousness was proud of her, then she just have to accept it…
