Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“I didn’t kill him, I didn’t even know he was going to be killed, I just wanted to get what I could from him, I am not a killer,”

Lily yelled at her.

“You might not have killed him but you know who did and you kept quiet about it just so you could steal from a dead man, Luciano was right about not trusting you all along, I should have listened to him, I can’t believe I bought into your lies and thought you were indeed a good person,”

Arielle let out picking up her bag, she was done talking with Lily, the woman was far too invested in her evil plans to see the errors in her way.

“If you give up everything back to Luciano, you will regret it,”

She yelled after she and Arielle stopped for a moment and stared back at the woman she thought was her friend, the same person she had told everything about her, the one she had spent one whole week with, the one she thought will be her source of strength once she breaks free from Luciano but all she could see was a whole different person that she didn’t even know, once again, she created an image that didn’t exist of lily in her head, why didn’t she ever learn?

“Lily, I am not going to regret anything, money is not everything, I will rather be poor than be a bad person, I hope you reflect on what you did and have a change of heart, Don is dead and if you didn’t wish for him to die, then you have to do the right thing and make sure the person that killed him pays but if you won’t do that, you won’t need to live in regret because the guilt of what you did will eat you up, I hope you reflect,”

Arielle said and walked away leaving the older woman who was yelling after her, for once Arielle was glad that she brought bodyguards and her driver with her, if not, she wasn’t so sure

Lily would have let her leave so freely, she got into her car and told the driver to take her home, she felt sick to the stomach just thinking about the fact that she has been friends with someone that had a hand in everything that happened in her family, Lily was part of the reason her marriage broke, the way she had blindly trusted Lily made everything worse, her phone rang and she checked to see that it was Lily calling, at first she didn’t want to pick up but she knew she older woman enough to know that she would not stop disturbing her phone until she picks up.

“What do you want now Lily?”

Arielle asked.

“I just want to warn you that you should know to play smart and not tell anyone about our discussion earlier, not even that man you lost your senses over, I am telling you he will not be able to protect you, now do yourself some good by keeping that mouth shut,”

Lily warned, Arielle couldn’t believe the older woman was threatening her.

“Is that a threat Lily? What? Do you think I will be scared of your threats?”

She let out.

“It is a warning little rat, don’t say I didn’t tell you, better keep that mouth of yours shut unless the consequences will be so bad even your parents and that man you lost your sense over will not be sped.”

She threatened. Arielle couldn’t care less about her4 parents, she hasn’t even heard from them since they sold her off months ago, but she would like to think they are doing good, the only person that has a right to do anything to them was her and not some greedy lunatic.

“Lily, don’t fucking touch my parents, I am warning you,”

Arielle warned.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I won’t as long as you keep your mouth close, don’t mess with me young lady, or else everyone around you will take a hit and you will have yourself to blame, I have warned you,”

she said and ended the call before Arielle could say anything else, she could tell the driver had been listening in on her call as he was looking at her through the car side mirror.

“Stop looking at me and drive, I am good,”

Arielle said and checked her phone when it beeped, she opened the message and saw a photo of her mom and stepfather that she has never seen before and it looked recent too, seeing them smiling at the camera after what they did to her made her angry but not angry enough that she would want to cause them death, a note came with the photo that read ‘SAY A WORD AND THEY WILL BE THE FIRST TO GO’ it was from Lily, she looked at the photo again and they seemed to be so happy without her, which got her thinking maybe she was the problem, her parents got better when they left her behind, Luciano’s life turned upside down when he met her, maybe she was the one that brings bad luck to those around her, once the thought settled in her head there was no letting it out.

It took a while to get home as there was traffic and the roads were blocked, when she finally got home it was already way past ten pm, she thanked her driver and bodyguards and walked to the main house in low spirits.

“Where have you been and why are you just coming back home?”

Arielle heard Luciano’s voice as she took a step, she paused and turned around to see him seated in the living room area, she expected him to be out already so she wasn’t so shocked that he was here.

“That’s none of your business,”

Arielle responded, she just wanted to go into her room and sleep, today was such an eye-opener but she couldn’t deal with any more shit today, she just wanted to clock out and forget today even happen.

“The hell it is not, are you out of your mind Arielle? Why will you be out until so late and you have the mind to tell me it is none of my business and since when do you drink?”

He yelled.

“It is none of your business what I do Luciano, I don’t know why you are yelling at me and where you got the drinking part from because I didn’t drink anything, I just going to ignore you,”

Arielle responded. He was out of his mind, maybe he was the drunk one, acting like they were anything to each other and had the right to speak to her.
