Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“Now that I have brought a woman, can you listen to what I have to say now?”

Luciano questioned his grandfather who was still looking at Arielle who sat beautifully in the distance, even though he didn’t buy the idea of marriage much, he couldn’t deny the fact that he had made a good choice because the woman was beautiful and well spoken, the way she answered his grandfather’s questions with so much grace and class had pleased him, the way she held onto him and smiled at him while lying with ease made him respect her, no one would guess they weren’t a real couple, not with the way she has been to him since they got here, even him was close to believing they were in love.

“What do you want to tell me?”

His grandfather asked, bringing him out of his thoughts.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I would rather we talk in your office, Don, it is important,”

Luciano stated.

“Well, if it has anything to do with the family or business, I will listen once the wedding is over, it is one thing to bring a woman home, Mishka, it is another thing to do the right thing and marry her, we agreed we will talk after you get married and I am not going back on that,”

His grandfather said and Luciano bit back the words that he wanted to say, what’s the point of arguing with the old man? Arielle already agreed to marry him, might as well go with the original plan, plus, he wanted to explore the heat between them, if it wasn’t for his grandfather’s demand, he would never have thought of marriage but meeting a beautiful woman like Arielle? He would have pursed her still and made sure he had a taste of her, his eyes found her and saw her watching them, nope, she was looking at him, maybe she was feeling bored from sitting with his grandfather’s latest woman, if he thought he had his way with women, Don was worst because how did he manage to find another woman as old as he is? He needed to do a background check on her and he made a mental note to make sure to tell Yoey to do a check on her, he already had too much going on and didn’t want another problem included in the family, he gestured for Arielle to come over and she did without hesitation, she must have been tired of answering to Don’s new woman.

“She likes you a lot,”

His grandfather pointed out as Arielle walked towards them smiling at him, if only he knew just how much she disliked him, she was just very good at playing her part, the only thing he could agree on was that she had the hots for him but like him? Not really.

“You made the right choice, she is beautiful and well-spoken, and she would make a good wife, I have a feeling she makes good business choices too, do I perhaps know the family she is from?”

He asked.

“Not really, she isn’t from our side.”

Luciano explained, he knew Don would understand what he meant.

“Oh, even better, she would appreciate everything you do for her more, and she would see you as a savior and that would give you power over her, it is perfect, you will be her lord and she would not dare go against what you say, a submissive woman, I like it,”

Don said and Luciano wondered just what he would think when he finds out, Arielle doesn’t give a fuck and she was far from seeing him as a savior, more like an enemy, what? Submissive? That was the last thing Arielle was, but he wasn’t about to put himself down by telling Don the truth, and as far as he knew, Arielle knew just what game they were playing and she would not dare to disrespect him in public.

“Yeah, I know,”

He said as she walked closer to them.

“Your dad made a good choice back then too but he fumbled it,”

Don said and Luciano frowned at the mention of his parents. Arielle got to them in that moment and Don stopped talking to him and instead started talking to Arielle, Luciano already knew Don won’t have a problem with Arielle being from a different background from the beginning, that was never a factor in their family, his dad had married his mom even though she had been from the bottom part of the food chain, not like he had treated her right but he at least gave her a name, that didn’t excuse how he treated her, and it definitely did not excuse how she has ended up because of him, if his father hadn’t been so reckless, maybe he would still have both parents with him today, maybe he would have known how it feels like to have both parents, till today, he wished he had been able to stop his mom from leaving that night, wished she didn’t go out on her own, he turned to his grandfather who was smiling at Arielle and had the sudden urge to pull her away from him, protect her from him, his grandfather had not protected his mom, he had let her leave the mansion that night twenty years ago even while knowing it wasn’t safe, Luciano still hated him for it, hated that the night and every decision everyone made that night lead to him living as an orphan from the young age of twelve, he hated his father most of all for being the reason both of them weren’t here, his father might have deserved what he got, but his mom? She was innocent, the only thing she did wrong was love his dad, and that led to her passing at such a young age, too young to die.
