Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Arielle listened quietly to the news that proves what she had known from the beginning, Luciano was innocent and he would be released tomorrow, it was good news and she should be happy that he is free but when she thought about what he did to her and how he went out of his way to make sure the public hated and bashed her, she couldn’t feel happy for him. Well now that he is free, it was time for the real battle to begin because she already knew the first thing he would do is try to get back everything he gave her, she didn’t want it but she would make him suffer before she gives them back and be out of his life the minute she does, he didn’t deserve her, she deserved better than a man who would drop her and turn her to a public enemy the minute things gets ugly.

The police found evidence that proved he was innocent and she thought he would be released at the beginning of last week but they prolong it for as long as they could, they must have wanted to find something on him which had not happened seeing that he was going to be freed, good for him.

“Well, I wish him well, I hope he can resolve all this,”

She let out as she turned off the tv and went into her room, maybe by tomorrow he would be back here and demanding she give everything back.

All week, she got Yoey up in her ass, of course, she made sure it wasn’t easy for him, and took her time to read every proposal he brought to her, she also thought of showing up at the executives’ meeting but decided not to, she didn’t really know what goes on there just yet, she put her going to school on hold for now. She wasn’t even sure she wanted to do it anymore, she was just living in the moment as it stands. the only constant right now is Yoey always coming to disturb her and also Lily.

Arielle spent most of her time with Lily who has been nothing but an angel, she was going to meet up with her again tomorrow, she has been a lot of help with dealing with Yoey, the only thing Arielle had refused to do when Lily advised her was transfer assets, she couldn’t do it and she had told her that, she didn’t push it and never brought it up again after Arielle told her she was not comfortable talking about it.

Lily was doing better than Arielle had thought, better than she had been on the first day they met after Don died, they had both cried after Arielle told her what happened with Luciano and she had consoled her by reminding her that it was Luciano’s loss not hers, that’s why Arielle found herself calling her visiting her every opportunity she got, she was the only one who understood her and cared about how she felt, every other person judged her and it took a great effect on her mental wellness, she couldn’t even go through her phone because she was scared of what new think piece people had about her character, it was horrible reading what people who have never met or interacted with her had to say about her, that day she decided to go shopping had turned out to be something she would rather forget, she was mopped and asked different questions, things she never wanted to hear about again, on the internet people felt more bad for Luciano who was arrested for potential murder than her, people made memes about her, it was a shit show and she had to turn off her phone just to keep away from it, the only time she used her phone was to call Lily.

Arielle went to bed knowing that would be her last night of peace for a while, she knew once Luciano comes back it will be one issue or the other, not that she was that peaceful without him around but it would be worse, if only they hadn’t fought, his coming home would have been a good thing. The next morning, she woke up and spent most of the morning and a good part of the afternoon moving her other stuff from the room she shared with Luciano into another room, she had been prolonging moving them but now that it was clear that he was coming back, she had to move everything to avoid having to deal with him as much as she can, after successfully moving everything, she got one of the men to help her change the lock in her new room after which she took her bath and got dressed to go see Lily who she was meeting in a private pool house, she couldn’t wait to meet her and get the shits she has of her head, once she breaks things up with Luciano completely, Lily was going to be her source of strength and they already talked about her moving in with her until she can get back on her feet.

She went to find her driver and the bodyguards who followed her everywhere rode in another car. It didn’t take long to get to the pool house and she saw Lily as soon as she got out of the car.

“You don’t have to follow me there, just stay here,”

She said to her bodyguards who nodded and she walked toward Lily who was waving at her.

“Arielle darling, good to have you here today,”

Lily said coming to hug her, when she got to where she is, she hugged her too.

“Same Lily, it is good to see you, you look great, that dress suits you so well,”

Arielle complimented following Lily to their spot, the place was empty, maybe nobody else was invited which was better, she was in no mood to deal with people right now, she just wanted to bask in the sun all day and forget all the crazy shits that have been happening lately, she thought of telling her bodyguards and driver to leave and come back for her when she was done later but she knew they would not listen to her so she just let them be, after what happened at the shopping mall the last time, she got used to going everywhere with a bodyguard.

“It’s just the two of us here today,”

Arielle commented, taking her seat and dropping her bag on the spot next to her.

“Yes, I figured we have things to talk about seeing that your ex-husband is getting released, I saw it on the news,”

Lily said handing her a glass of juice which she accepted with thanks.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Yes, he is,”

She responded and took a sip of the juice before setting it on the stool.

“What are you going to do when he is released?”

Lily asked.
