Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

After Luciano left, Arielle tried to just go to bed since she didn’t have anything else to do but she just couldn’t fall asleep, she was worried for Luciano even though he had assured her that he will be okay before he left, she just couldn’t rub off the feeling that something wasn’t right and that the coming days were going to be hectic for him, earlier when he had followed her and apologized she had realized that she wasn’t alone in whatever feeling she had for him, no it wasn’t love, more like companionship, they both relied on each other and didn’t want to be on each other’s bad side which made her believe their relationship will only grow better as the times goes by, who knows, by the time two years come by, they would remain friends even after they divorce, she wanted that, wanted to remain his friend for a long time because he was the first person that knew her and actually saw her, cared about the things she liked and went out of his way to do those things for her, for her, it wasn’t a phase, she wanted to be his friend forever.

“Or, you want to stay married to him forever, because you love him,”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The voice inside of her chipped in, Arielle got off the bed so fast and almost tripped on her foot.

“You are wrong, I don’t love him, heck I don’t even know what love is, I like him a lot because he is way nicer than he let on but love? No, that can’t happen,”

She said to herself almost yelling out loud, the last thing she wanted was to be in love with the man when he has warned her severally not to and she gave him her words too, she erased every thought that had to do with love and instead focused on the happy news that she got before he had to leave, she smiled proudly knowing that she was finally going to fulfill her dream of getting a degree, she had Luciano to thank for it and she hoped whatever it is that is the issue with his family business, that he is able to resolve it without much trouble.

Since she couldn’t fall asleep, she decided to take a walk, she got out of the room in her nighties and walked to her favorite place in the whole mansion, the night air was chilly and there was no moon compared to other nights she has been here, the street like in the flower field made it look like it was still early in the evening, she took her seat and stared up at the cloudy night sky, there were no stars in sight either, she felt lonely and she wished Luciano would just come back tonight but she knew that was impossible, if he was going to show up, it would probably be tomorrow night, she stayed in the field for about one hour before retiring back to bed alone.

The next morning, Arielle woke up alone for the first time in a while, she tried to reach out for her husband but he wasn’t on the bed like he always use to, she open her eyes and the room was empty, then she remembered she had slept alone, she let out a weary sigh and got out of bed, he promised to call her so she picked up her phone to see if he did but there were no missed calls from him, neither did he text her, she concluded that he must be very busy and decided to do her own thing while she waited for him to call or text, she didn’t want to do it as she wouldn’t want to disrupt his work.

Arielle smiled for the first time that morning when she remembered she got into business school even with a short time of studies, she logged into the school websites to check the requirements for first timers and decided to print out the papers in Luciano’s home office, she has been there quite a number of time over the last two months and have helped him print out papers when he needed them so she knew how it worked, first she took her bath and decided to print out the papers before she eats breakfast, she walked the short distance from their room to his office, she expected it to be empty seeing that he wasn’t home but when she got in, two men were inside, she knew one of them as Luciano’s personal assistant who was the groomsman for their wedding, they look and acted more like friends than actual boss and employee, Luciano said they gave off the same energy to him because they were both born in the same year, Arielle didn’t really think so because Yoey always gave her the cold shoulder, she didn’t mind though, she wasn’t looking out to be friends with him, she barely acknowledge him except it was really needed, like right now, they didn’t even notice she was there and she thought of leaving and just coming back after they leave but the thing is, she didn’t even know when they will leave.

“Yoey,”

She called out his name, he turned, and the other man did too.

“Good morning, we just came to get something for the boss, we will leave.

He informed showing her what he got, and the other man greeted her too. She decided that since they will leave soon that it was better to just leave and let them do their thing.

“I wanted to print something, I will just come back when you guys are done, please continue what you are doing,”

She said turning to leave.
