Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“No, you don’t have to leave, we are not using the printer, please go ahead,”

Yoey said and Arielle nodded before silently walking to the printer with her phone in hand, she connected her phone to the printer and selected what she wanted to print, the silence in the room was kind of awkward for her and she wanted to be done as soon as possible, she was tempted to ask Yoey what Luciano was up to at the office but she didn’t want to disrupt them, she finished printing what she had come for and left them there, she went up to their room and decided to check the media.

‘Oh, my god,”

She voiced when she saw the headline of the first article that popped up when she searched Siegel, it read TROUBLE IN THE SIEGEL EMPIRE AS THE COMPANY LOSES MILLIONS AND POSSIBLE BILLIONS TO FAILED DRUG DEALS’ Another one read SIEGEL EMPIRE STOCK DROPPING LIKE FLIES AFTER A FAILED DEAL, IS THIS THE END FOR THEM”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

She read through the article and realized Luciano might not be back home today or even tomorrow, it looked like his short break from the office caused a lot of damage, she tried calling him but he didn’t pick up and she figured he must be super busy, she left a text for him and hoped he would call back, he never did, not the next day, and not the day that followed, one whole week passed and she didn’t hear from him and every day, there was a new issue concerning the company on the news, and they never seem to come to an end, over the last couple of days, she tried to call him once more and even sent a few more text but it felt like he was ignoring her, of course, she didn’t want to believe that he was, and seeing how hectic it has gotten over the news, she couldn’t blame him but it still made her feel down, if he could just send a reply, even if it is just to tell her he was okay.

Yoey did show up yesterday and she asked about him and all he said was that he was very busy, of course, she knew he was busy, she had wanted him to let her know if he was doing fine or not, but the crazy dude had walked away before she could ask him some other questions, right now, she sat in front of the big screen in the living room waiting for the press conference that they had scheduled for today, she found out through the internet, this was the only way she could get a glimpse of her husband and she couldn’t miss it.

The press conference started soon and she waited patiently until Luciano came forward, she watched in silence as he narrated what he has been up to for the past week and just what it was that he and the company were doing to cut their losses, basically trying to calm both their investors and the general public down, from what he said, they have lost billions and there might still be more losses.

“Wow it is really a big issue,”

She let out staring at her husband on the big screen, he looked tired and he seem to have lost some weight, she listened to what he was saying and everything he said broke her heart, you could tell he was almost at his breaking point from how he sounded she suddenly wanted to gather him in her arms and hug away the sadness and tiredness in his face.

“I should go see him, maybe give him a hug,”

She said to herself, she wasn’t so sure how he would react to her showing up at his workplace or if it is a good idea in the first place but she really wanted to cheer him up even if it just to give him a warm hug, she decided to take her chances, whatever happens, at least she would know she tried, she stood up and went to the kitchen, she really wanted to be the one to make the food but she knew his chef will not let her so she just told him what she wanted him to make for her and also told him to package it, he looked so pleased when she had told him she was taking it to her husband and he told her when it will be ready, after 6the kitchen, she went to find the driver Luciano had assigned to her and told him to get ready to take her to wherever Luciano was, then she went back to their room, took a bath and got dressed.

“I am going to do this not because I miss him so much but because I, okay fine, I am doing this because I miss him so much,”

She said to herself while staring at her reflection in the mirror, she missed everything about him, their little pillow talks, him teasing her, them making love, their not-so-regular walk in the flower field, she missed him so much and she couldn’t deny it anymore so she hoped with her whole heart that she will be able to see him and he won’t tell her to go back home because she might cry in his presence and embarrass herself if he does.

She got out of their room and went to get the food from the chef and she went to find the driver who was already waiting for her, she asked him if he knew where to find him and he told that he did, throughout the ride to Luciano’s office, Arielle was nervous as hell, she couldn’t help it no matter how she tried, at some point, she was so close to telling the driver to turn back and take her back home but she stood her ground and reminded herself that it was better to go there and get a reaction from him than regret not making an attempt in the first place, without that in mind, she finally let herself relax and looked forward to seeing him and hugging him.
