Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

You know the bad feeling one gets when one wakes up from sleep sometimes, the feeling that something was wrong, in a very bad way, that’s the kind of feeling Arielle woke up with, first Luciano wasn’t there when she woke up and he looked like he left a long time ago, she tried to shake the feeling off, maybe he had to return to the office early and he hadn’t wanted to wake her up, but even as she took her bath, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that something bad has happened, she quickly finished bathing and went to get her phone to call him but he didn’t take her call, after trying four more times, she gave up and dropped her phone, hoping that he will call her back soon, she didn’t want to leave the penthouse without him showing up.

Her fears were confirmed when she decided to open the internet. She jumped and was on her feet so fast when she saw the headline of the first article that popped up, it read.

‘DON SIEGEL, FOUND DEAD IN HIS HOME’ Arielle blinked hoping she was seeing one of those clickbait articles, she knew there were quite a few of them, she didn’t read the article, instead, she searched up Don’s name and what she saw left her speechless, there was more article confirming that he did die last night but she couldn’t believe what she was reading, was this why Luciano hasn’t been taking her calls? Why would Don just die like that not like he was sick or anything, Arielle tried to call Luciano again as she walked up to where the tv was in the penthouse, she waited for it to come on while hoping Luciano would take her call, he didn’t, she picked up the remote controller and tuned to a news station, her phone fell from her hand when she saw the image on the screen, it was dark and the photo must have been taking last night but she knew her husband even if it was dark it was him and they had a cuff on his hands, the headline read.

LUCIANO SIEGEL ARRESTED FOR REPORTEDLY MURDERING HIS GRANDFATHER, now she finally decided she must be dreaming because there was no way the news was real, Luciano murdered his grandfather? He would never do that, Arielle picked up her phone and the remote that fell from her hand, her hands were both shaking as she once again opened the internet and typed in Luciano’s name, her jaw dropped at the various articles that popped up.

“No, this can’t be true, this is a dream, Arielle, wake up,”

She said dropping her phone and slapping her face to get herself to wake up, but it hurt when she hit herself and she didn’t wake up.

“Oh, God, no, this is not true, Luciano can’t kill his grandfather,”

She said out loud as she paced around wondering what to do, she was hundred percent sure they got the wrong man, Luciano didn’t and could never kill his grandfather, and she felt so bad for the old man who lost his life after losing almost all he owned, he was murdered, that was the worse way to die but no, her husband didn’t kill him.

Arielle picked up her phone and went to get her purse she had to go see Luciano, she didn’t know which station he was taken to but she knew it won’t be hard to find, she couldn’t imagine how devastated he must be losing his grandfather and getting framed for his death was too much, combine to everything that has been happening recently, she didn’t need a prophet to tell her that they were being targeted and whoever is it was the one that killed Don and framed her husband for the murder, she needed to see Luciano and assure him that he wasn’t alone, she walked out of the room and towards the elevator, she waited impatiently for it to arrive while wondering who she can call to take her there. when the elevator opened, her driver stood inside.

‘Hey, why are you here? Did you not go back yesterday?”

She asked as she got into the elevator, her hands were still shaking and she couldn’t seem to calm down no matter how she tried.

“I did, I was sent to come and get you,”

The driver announced.

“That’s good, do you know which station my husband was taking to? Could you please find out if you don’t? I need to go see him,”

Arielle said to him but the guy scratched his head as if he was contemplating what to tell her.

“What I already know he was arrested, I want you to take me to where he is being held,”

She added, after a long silence minute.

“I know, it is just that I was asked to take you back to the mansion and nowhere else,”

The driver revealed as the elevator got to the last stop and opened and they both walked out, Arielle had no time to ask him what he meant by that as her vision was blinded by multiple flashlights, she felt someone hold her hand and drag her with them she looked to see that it was the driver before they were both swamped up by various reporters screaming questions at her, she bowed her head, ignoring all their question until one of them asked a crazy question.

“Did you two plan to murder the old man? Was that why you left home last night to come here? Were you too planning to use your night here as an alibi to fool the people?”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The reporter yelled at her and Arielle stopped on her track amidst the chaos, she let go of her driver and turned back, she looked at the reporter who was waiting for her answer.
