Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Luciano walked into his penthouse wanting to do nothing but take a bath a get some much-needed sleep, after the press conference, he decided that he deserved to rest before he kills himself in the process of trying to fix things for his family, he was the only one who still had brain cells left in the whole family as the others were beyond exhausted, his uncle Laz had to go get shots at the hospital after nights of endless brainstorming to find a last solution, the poor man hadn’t signed up for having to come and fix his older brothers mess, according to him, he had been in Hawaii when the call had come, he had to abandon his vacation and run back to Russia, apparently, uncle Laz had warned Don too but the old man had not listened to his younger brother just like he had not listened to his grandson, but when it was time to fix his mess, they were the first people he thought of calling.

Luciano spent the whole week trying to fix the mess Deda made by mixing with the wrong crowd, the damage was even greater than he had thought, he barely got any break and spent all day and most part of the night having meetings with their shareholders and business partners, so far, their losses was going into the billions and it didn’t look like it was stopping anytime, he had to tell his grandfather to stay away completely when he saw how the old man was struggling with the loss and with watching decades of their hard work just go down the drain, he aged even more and at some point, the old man had started crying like a baby, Luciano felt pity for him and had to call his new woman to come get him, he still didn’t like Lily or trust her but she was the only option he had as Deda’s other women didn’t want to be associated with him, Lily had taken Deda home with her and from there, it was him, uncle Laz and a couple of other trusted relatives and executives that worked hard to fix things, the problem was when they think they have finally peck in their troubles, they are faced with even more.

No sector was spared in the whole thing and Macko who is the mastermind of the whole thing was still on the run, Luciano has sent men after him but so far, no one knows where he was, not even his bride-to-be knew where he was, with the papers Don had signed which turned out not to be the proposer he was initially given, Macko was able to get funds from all sectors of the Siegel empire and he even went as far as getting a huge loan from three major banks, yes, they have borrowed from the banks before when they acquire things but they made sure to pay back in time which is why the banks had freely given out the loans not knowing it was a huge fraud, turns out all the money he collected was pushed into a new dealer who turned out to be a big scammer.

Luciano didn’t even know who is behind the name Big Sean whom Macko had stupidly given the money, all efforts to trace the funds were not yielding positive results, no one has heard of Big Sean before and Luciano was beginning to think Macko is either big Sean or he just made the name up after Deda was able to reach him, the bastard had the mind to tell Don that they can fix things if he just calmed down and that it was just a few lapses but the end game can still be changed, Luciano had collected the phone from Don and dared the bastard to show his face and stop hiding, of course, the idiot had hung up when he heard his voice and since then, they haven’t been able to get a hold of him again and they needed to if they are going to get more details on Big Sean because so far Sean seemed like an imaginary character in the whole thing.

Till now, Luciano still couldn’t pin anything on Perez but he couldn’t move past the feeling that the man had something to do with everything, after the press conference earlier, he had walked up to him wanting to give advice but Luciano had not tolerated his nonsense, he had told him to his face that he didn’t need his help, Perez had the mind to tell him he would regret not asking for his help, he had walked away fully confident that he would never go to Perez for help, if he can’t save the empire, he would personally close it himself instead of asking for him from the bastard.

“Fucking loser,”

He cursed as he got into the shower, maybe he should have gone home now that he could rest a little but he had thought against it because he didn’t want to disturb Arielle with his presence and he also didn’t want to make the mistake he had made before he left home last week, it was so hard to control his temper now, he didn’t want her to be at the receiving end of it, he missed having her with him but until this whole thing clears out, he has to bear not being able to see her, when he can finally be with her again, he would take a long break and go somewhere he can have her all to himself and make up for the time they were apart, thinking of her made him miss her even more, the woman had so much hold on him and it was high time he accepted that, he didn’t see any other woman beside her since they got married, no one compared to his beautiful wife, she would probably be in bed already and would be missing him too, at least that’s what he hoped.

After he got out of the shower, he was about to get on the bed and rest for a few hours when the doorbell of the penthouse rang, at first, he ignored it because he was sure it would be Yoey out there bringing in more work for him and he couldn’t handle any of those right now but when the ringing persisted, he had no choice but to go make it stop himself, he was towards the entrance fully ready to land a punch on Yoey face for not letting him rest, he opened the door and froze, there standing beautifully was his beloved wife, she heard a basket which he suspected contained food, she looked so pretty in her plain white gown and with her hair packed up in a messy bun, of course, her face was makeup free.

“Hmm, can I come in?”

He heard her ask and he realized she was still standing outside with him still holding the door, he made way for her to get in and closed the door.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“What are you doing here?”

He asked when he finally found his voice, he was surprised to see her, he missed seeing her more than he imagined, having her here seemed impossible and he was close to believing he had fallen asleep and was currently just dreaming of her.

“I saw you earlier on tv and it looked like you were having a hard time, wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help,”

She said coming to hug him, when he felt her warmth against him, he realized he wasn’t dreaming after all, this was real and she was here, he wrapped his arms around her, hell, he needed the hug so much, he missed having her close to him, he had not expected her to show up but loved that she did.

“Thank you for coming here Arielle, I missed you so much
