Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Arielle dragged herself out of bed the next morning feeling like hell, her fault for not trying to sleep last night, she blamed the mad man she agreed to marry for her present predicament, he was making decisions for the both of them without her input and it made her feel so little of herself, she hated the feeling so much, her doorbell rang and before she could get to her door, it flew open revealing the reason for her present predicament, she hated how he looked good so early in the morning while she looked and felt like hell.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“What do you want now?”

She asked judgingly, hoping he would read the room and leave her alone, she was in no mood to accommodate his craziness.

“Just dropping this, be sure to read through it and sign,”

He said with an authorizing voice, dropped the file he held, and was out of her room as fast as he entered, Arielle eyed the file he had dropped and left it there without opening it, she already knew she would not be able to comprehend whatever is written on it with the way she was, instead, she went to take a bath, had breakfast, and decided to walk around the mansion when she realized he had already left for work, by the time she made it back to her room, it was already afternoon and she didn’t want to read whatever it was that was on the file, so she decided to take a nap instead, pretending it doesn’t exist, when she woke up from her nap, she decided to finally take a look, just glancing at the first few pages she could barely make out what it was all about so she dropped it off and did everything else except read the damn thing, she decided she would do it the next day.

“Knock, knock,”

She heard from outside her door and lifted her head as Lydia, one of the helps walked in.

“Hello, the boss wants me to tell you that he needs the stuff he gave you signed by morning,”

She announced and Arielle’s mind skipped a beat, well there goes her chance to read it the next day.

“For real? He literally just gave them to me today, how does he expect me to be done by morning?”

She asked, picking up the file again.

Lydia stayed quiet, Arielle couldn’t blame her, it was none of her business.

“How am I supposed to read this whole thing and sign before morning? Man? The man is crazy, and so..”

She stopped talking and smiled at Lydia.

“Thank you, Lydia, you can go,”

She said and the help smiled, turned and walked out of her room, Arielle stared at the paper already knowing she would never be able to finish up tonight, it was her fault for playing with it throughout the day without truly reading it, now she was tensed, she never do anything right when she is tensed, she has always been a slow reader and it was hard for her to assimilate things easily which is why she needs more time, she opened the first page and it was just an intro and what she already knew, so she flipped to the next, and the next, she couldn’t understand what she read so she went back to the second page, reading as slowly as she could to understand the things that was written as far as she knew, it indicated and highlighted the benefits of their union and what she was gaining from it, the figures were too huge for her, and she skipped to the next page, it didn’t look easier either, it all felt like huge words joined together to form sentences, she knew if she calmly read through, she would get what he meant but she wasn’t so calm right now and there was nothing she could do to calm herself.

“I give up, I can’t do this anymore, I will just continue tomorrow morning,”

She said after about an hour of flipping through the pages without understanding a thing, she dumped it on the bed and went to sleep, bad idea because the next morning, she woke up to Luciano at her door demanding for the signed papers, she had no choice than to sign without truly reading them, she knew just how much risk she was taking by signing the damn papers but she didn’t want him to be in her case so early in the morning, once she handed it back to him, he left and she didn’t hear from him for the whole of the day, not like she minds, She peace of mind was at it fullest when he wasn’t there. Arielle wished he would just let her be forever and not talk to her but that didn’t last either.

“Can we talk?”

He said as he walked into her room that evening, he was wearing plain black trousers and a white T-shirt, she wondered what he wanted them to talk about again, they always ended up arguing anyway.

“Sure!”

Arielle said even though she wasn’t in the mood to talk to him, what was the point of not talking to him anyway when she already agreed to marry him and all?

“Not here, I will wait for you in my office,”

He declared and left.

“Well, that’s a new one,”

She said as she got off the bed and followed after him out of her room and walked the short distance to his home office, he was already seated when she got him and she just sat far across from him.

“What do you want to talk about?”

She asked when he didn’t say a word after she sat down.

“Just our wedding preparation, the date remains unchanged, you can have your dream wedding which you will discuss with the wedding planner who will be available tomorrow,”

He announced. She wanted to argue again but decided not to, if he wants them to be married in two weeks then so be it, the sooner they get married, the sooner she would be done with this and be free from him.
