Sold to the mafia boss

” Oh my goodness, that’s great news!” Graziella breaks the absurd silence, picking up her wine glass. Logan’s mother claps her hands too, a broad smile crossing her face as she picked up her wine too. Then the rest of the family followed in cheering in their own ways, picking up their glasses.

” I am so proud of you mijo” his mother said to him.

I noticed that his father remained still, watching the rest of the family jubilate. Then he picked up his glass and the table went silent.

” Congratulations to you two, ” he said “I wish you all the best together”

“Thank you” I replied with a small smile.

“Tell me, have you decided on a date yet?” Elina inquired.

“Ah yes,” I replied ” Logan and I decided to have a small wedding in Las Vegas in two weeks,” I felt Logan’s hand circling mine and intertwining our fingers on the table ” we wanna have this wedding as soon as possible”

” Well I guess we have a lot of preparations to do then” his mom said with glints in her eyes.

“You don’t have to worry, mother, I have everything covered” Logan replied, pride edging his voice.

” The wedding seems a bit rushed don’t you think?” Daisy finally spoke and I finally looked her in the eyes. She wanted me to “I mean, unless you’re arleady pregnant”

Before I could reply the question thrown at me, Logan replied ” I don’t see why you have to speak Daisy, last time I checked you’re not part of this family”

” Daisy has every right to speak at this table as the rest of the family, Logan” Dylano shot back.

” Is that true, brother?,” Logan shot back, untangling his fingers from mine ” Daisy can hardly think the same way”

” Can you two not do that in front of Layla?” Nigel broke through the thick fog surrounding the table.

” We haven’t eaten this meal I prepared” Graziella cut in, hitting her glass with a fork.

” I’m afraid we haven’t yet met, Layla,” Dylano spoke, turning his eyes to watch me now “I’m Dylano, Logan’s brother” he points out his hand across the table.

I felt my heart beat harshly inside my chest as he smirked wickedly at me. I didn’t know if Logan would be okay with me taking his hand or not but after much needed contemplation, I slowly reached my hand over his and his thumb grazed my hand tenderly.

“I’m Layla. It’s nice to meet you”

“Likewise”

” I think we’ve had enough of the introductions brother” Logan spoke, grabbing and pulling my hand from Dylano’s.

” Afraid I’d steal her from you?” Dylano teased, mockery in his eyes.

” Poor Daisy, what would she think about that now?” Logan said, throwing a glance at Daisy. I looked at her from under my lashes and saw the hateful look in her eyes as she watched me. She was being toyed with by the man she called her boyfriend and his brother. Anyone would hardly like that.

Before Dylano could reply, Daisy tossed her napkin on the table and grabbed her purse from the side. With her eyes still throwing daggers at me, she pushed her chair back and rose up. She matched away and disappeared through the house. With a long frown and a growl, Dylano tossed his napkin away too and stood up, following the way Daisy went.

I looked back at Logan and he gave me a satisfied smile.

” So,” Graziella broke the silence ” anyone wanna try the pork steak I made myself?”

From the way she turned to me with a smile, I knew she was glad Daisy had left. And as bad as it may sound, I was glad too.

“So do you have a hair stylist yet?” Graziella asked as she put a steak on my plate.

” Yes Graziella, ” Logan replied before I could say a word ” you’re not planning to do that, are you?”

” Of course not darling, but I could use the money”

” You’re a liar ”

” Fine! Okay? I just wanna be around her when she’s getting everything done, penalize me”

Everyone around the table chuckled and I smiled at her joke too. We spent the rest of the dinner talking about Logan and I, and Logan asking why Elina hasn’t followed her husband and kids back to the states. After the dinner, we all returned back into the room where Logan’s mother had a brief talk with me. She even showed me Logan’s photo album since he was a baby.

I could tell that she had a beautiful family from the start. Logan was always so happy, it was obvious in all the countless pictures. So was Dylano. The family time was amazing.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

I never saw Dylano and Daisy around after they left earlier and nobody seemed to be bothered about their absence.

Logan talked with Nigel most of the time while Graziella and I talked a few more times before we got too exhausted and decided to return back to the hotel.

At the hotel, I figured Logan had actually trusted me. He let me talk with Graziella without fearing that I could tell her everything he’s done. Without me attempting to escape.

That night, Logan made love to me. He didn’t force me. It was tender and sweet. He was gentle and he kept telling me how much he loved me. Like he’d done the first time we had sex.
