Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Luciano looked around and realized that Arielle was no longer in the room, he stopped typing and cursed at himself as he recurred the last thing he had said to her, he tossed his phone on the bed as he walked out of his room still cursing at himself, he already knew where she would be at and walked straight up there, he checked and as he expected, the door was locked.

“Arielle? Baby, open the door,”

He said as he continued knocking on the door but she did not respond.

“Arielle, come on,”

Luciano pleaded, he knew he shouldn’t have spoken to her like that and he didn’t want them to be fighting when he leaves because he wasn’t sure he would be back tonight, this was all Don’s fault, if only Don had listened to him, they won’t have the situation right now, his fears just got confirmed and now just barely two months after he let the family business be run by Don alone, they were already running at a lost, thanks to him signing documents without reading properly, he had warned him but the old man was too proud and egoistic to realize it and now when he ran into problem, he was calling him to come to fix it, he didn’t even have the mind to call him but had sent his personal assistant to do it, he hoped whatever it was that went wrong wasn’t major but seeing that investors are already pulling out and their shares dropping so fast for the first time in a long time, it was bad and he had to go talk wrongly to his woman because of the damn call.

“Arielle, please open the door, please don’t do this, not right now please?”

He let out, banging on the door, she had every right to be angry with him, he should never have spoken to her like that when all she did was ask him what was going on out of concern, he just lost the plot for a few seconds if there is anyone he should be annoyed with, it should be Don, not Arielle.

“I am sorry baby, please open the door let’s talk about this, please,”

He pleaded again but nothing but silence was coming out of the room, he almost gave up.

“Why can’t you pick a side, Luciano? You told me to suck it up and mind my business and that’s what I am doing right now, why are you suddenly making it seem like you didn’t?”

She asked finally opening the door, just when he thought of walking away and giving her space. he saw her face and felt a stab in his chest, he made her cry.

“I am sorry, I didn’t mean to say mean words to you, I just overreacted, I shouldn’t have taken my anger out on you, I promise I will tell you once this is resolved, can you let me off just this once?”

He pleaded, it was unlike him and he knew it but recently, living with her and getting to know her, he realized she was a friend that he wanted to keep with him, she saw him and knew him and listened to him, he liked being on her good side more than he thought and he didn’t want them fighting even if that means begging.

“Can I at least ask a few questions, it is not that I am being nosy, it’s just that I hate being left in the dark, I have been meaning to ask you but I just didn’t know how to, I think it is the right time to ask.

She said and he nodded, what right did he have to say no when all he wanted was to get back on her good side again?

“The rumors that you stopped working for your family business are true?”

She asked, yeah there have been a lot of rumors flying around mainly because Don had held their annual conference meeting and he had not been present of course he had enough share in the company to secure him a seat in the meeting but he had opted out to do his personal business in France which had yielded a positive result, anyway, the rumor that he left the family’s business had started from then and he had expected Don to confirm it but the old man hadn’t said a word to the press and he had not bothered to either which had led everyone to start speculating, of course, Ariel must have heard too and might not have needed to ask him until today.

Until today, no one has reached out to him not even the executives that he had worked with for years now, not even a single call until today, they shut him out until they got into trouble and now they want him to come and fix it, of course, he will fix it, that’s what he always does, fix things but this time, he wasn’t going to work for free, if Don wants him to fix his mess, he was going to have to pay and he already knew what he wanted from the old man as payment.

“I am guessing it is something I shouldn’t know too,”

Arielle said as she turned away from the door which made him realize he had left her waiting for too long, he held on to the door before she could shut it.

“I am sorry, I was just lost in thoughts, to answer your question, Deda and I had some misunderstanding the day I went to his house after our wedding and we both decided it will better if we took a break which is why I have been focusing on my personal business while Deda handles the family’s business, I didn’t officially leave,”

He answered, he knew he should have just told her the truth but he didn’t want to go into details about what happened.

“So, you have to go back right?”

“Right, I am sorry for what I said to you, I take it back, please forgive me,”

He requested.

“It’s fine, I am guessing you have to leave?”

She asked finally letting him into the room.

“Yes, and I don’t think I will be back tonight, it sounded like a lot,”

He said as he pulled her to him, she let him and he let out a breath of relief.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself though,”

She said, she was still looking out for him which warmed his heart.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“I won’t, take care of yourself and I will call you when I am free,”

He said and lifted her face, staring into her beautiful eyes, his beautiful wife, she smiled at him and he smiled back, he hoped he could fix whatever issues there are so that he can come back home and be with her again, he kissed her and felt her melt against him, she always gave herself so willingly to him that sometimes he wonders if he deserved her, he had to remind himself every day that what they had was temporary but as the days went by, he felt like he was forgetting and giving himself a little too much to her.

“How am I going to stay in this house without you?”

She asked when they broke the kiss, he felt the same too but he didn’t tell her that, just kissed her again.

“I will be on my way now,”

He said and she followed him out of the room, walked with him to the call, and kissed him goodnight before going back into the house.

Luciano instructed the driver to go straight to Deda’s villa and on the way there, he went through what Yoey had sent to him and all he could think about was that Don brought this on himself, if the business go down, it will be his fault for not listening to him, after claiming to be on top of his game he had made so many bad decisions in less than two months than Luciano has ever made in his whole life, Perez, that fucker had a hand in it, Don had introduced him as one of his partners during the conference, he might not have attended, but he knew everything that happened at the meeting, the only mistake he had made was staying off completely, he should have at least made an effort to be aware of what’s going on in general, he had felt if Don makes any bad decisions, his lawyers would advise him against it, but it was clear they either didn’t do their job right or someone paid them to give him the wrong legal advice, he couldn’t put hit pass Perez and even his loser of a cousin Macko, well he was back in the picture now and he plans on doing away with everyone one who advised Don about a deal as risk as the one he signed for…
