Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“Your husband is a fucking asshole! I hate him so much,”

Lily yelled out after dropping the call with Luciano, whatever he told her was clearly not what she had wanted to hear and she looked so pissed right now. Arielle was genuinely scared of what she might do to her now, she watched as the older woman paced around and swearing loudly, Arielle prayed silently that she will not take out her anger on her, she couldn’t bear any more pain, she was so scared for her baby, she felt even more sorry for not being able to tell Luciano they were going to have a baby, if only Lily would let her go already, she missed home so much, missed Luciano so fucking much.

“Your husband is playing games with me and he thinks he will win this, fucker thinks he can play my game and beat me at it, I will show him that I have been playing this game since forever.”

Lily let out. This was the first time she was showing her face after the fight they had and unlike the last time, Lily didn’t get close to her even though she held a rod which was the reason Arielle was scared. She feared the older woman might hit her with the rod and it might lead to her or her baby getting hurt.

“Oh, he is so going to get it from me,”

Lily let out and stormed out of the room, she expected her to close the door behind her but she didn’t. the room went silent for a moment as Arielle waited for her to come back but after waiting for more than five minutes, she got up from the bed and walked to the door. She looked out and no one was around. She walked out and silently walked to the gate that she saw. She expected to be stopped on her track but no one came out, she quietly opened the door, her heart banging and her whole body trembling with fear, still, she didn’t stop as she got out of the gate. She saw the men talking in the distance, and silently walked in the opposite direction, praying that they don’t see her while also expecting them to stop her anymore but they never did and she turned the corner. She immediately broke into a run. Her body was on fire from coming in contact with the sun after several days away and she probably smelled because she hasn’t taken a bath for days, they didn’t provide her with water to bathe. She couldn’t believe she was able to escape yet she couldn’t be relieved just yet because they might still find her. The thought of that made her increase her pace. She knew it would only take a while for them to notice she wasn’t there anymore as she had left the gate open in her haste to get away.

Arielle ran as fast as she could not even bothering to look behind her, this was her only chance to be free and she didn’t want to get caught, it took a while for her to get to where she could see people moving around.

Arielle looked around hoping to find someone who would help her with their phone but everyone she stopped refused to acknowledge her, she almost gave up when she saw an elderly couple just around the corner, she ran to them as fast as she could.

“Sir, Ma’am, can you please help me with your phone? I need to call my husband,”

she pleaded. The older woman looked at her weirdly but the man reached into his pocket and brought out his phone, he handed it over to her and she took it.

“Thank you, sir,” she said as she quickly typed in Luciano’s number, praying to God that he picks it up, his phone started ringing and she paced around praying he picked it up.

“Please, pick up your call, please, Luciano please,”

she let out as tears welled up in her eyes, she knew the men would be looking for her already and she had to get as far away from here as possible.

“He is not taking the call?”

The old man asked in a calm and kind voice.

“No, he isn’t.”

She cried.

“You know what? Come with us, we will keep you safe until he can be reached. I know everything is not alright right now and I can’t leave you here on your own,”

The old man said. Arielle wanted to decline and tell him thank as she didn’t want to bring trouble to him but she had nowhere else to go and wasn’t sure she would find anyone kind enough to let her use their phone if she doesn’t go with the elderly couple, they were the only choice she had so she finally gave in, thanked the old man for his kindness and walked with him to their house which was not too far away, when they got in, the old man locked the gate and smiled at her.

“Let’s go inside, you can take a bath and use my daughter’s old clothes, they no longer live with us,”

He said as he gestured for her to follow him while pulling his wife who Arielle realized wasn’t stable mentally. She followed them into their home and the old man pointed her to a room and told her she could take a shower and pick any cloth from the drawer.

“Thank you, sir,”

Arielle said as she walked into the room. It was a very pretty room and she saw the photo of the couple and their three kids, no wonder he was kind, he had three children and must have felt some parental ways towards her, either way, she was thankful for his help and took off her old and messy clothes, she got into the shower and took a warm bath, then used the new brush she found in the room to brush her teeth. She left the bathroom when she felt clean and walked to the dresser, there was a mirror there and she saw her face, there were bruises from when Lily had hit her and there was so much sadness in her eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes and she wiped them off. She searched the wardrobe for something to wear and settled for a pair of faded skinny jeans and an oversized top. She walked out of the room when she was done and found the old man and his wife in the living room. They both turned when they heard her walk in.

“You look much better, I tried calling him but he is still not taking his calls, he must be very busy, meanwhile, I served you food, it looked like you haven’t eaten all day,”

The man said, pointing at the table. Her stomach grumbled at the sight of the food, he was right, she hasn’t eaten anything today. She thanked him again and went to eat the food which tasted better than anything she has had in the last couple of days. She expected the old man to ask her questions when she was done eating but he didn’t ask her anything, instead, he told her to get some rest and that he will keep trying to reach Luciano.

“What is your name?”

He asked her when she turned to leave the room.

“Arielle, Arielle Siegel,”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She informed him.

“You are part of the Siegel family? Your husband is a Siegel?”

The older man asked and at first, Arielle wanted to lie and say it wasn’t the Siegel that he thought it was for fear that Luciano might have done the man wrong but she decided to tell him the truth, he was kind to her and finding out she was a Siegel would probably not change that.

“Yes, my husband is Luciano Siegel,”

She told him and he nodded in understanding, he didn’t look offended or anything which she was thankful for.

“Alright, get some rest and I hope he will pick up before you wake up,”

The old man said. Arielle thanked him again and went back to the room he had given her, she laid on the bed. She was so tired that she fell asleep almost immediately.
