Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

After they got back, there was another round of photo sessions with various people from Luciano’s family, no one seemed to notice that the bride didn’t have any family members present or maybe they knew but chose to mind their business, anyway, she was glad they weren’t asking for her people. After photos were taken again, Luciano’s grandfather did a toast to their union, and so did some of his other relatives who she didn’t care to get to know, she only smiled at them and nodded or said thank you when they talked to her or looked in her direction.

“Welcome to the family my dear, I am so happy,”

Luciano’s grandfather said hugging her for the third time today, he seemed to be really pleased by the marriage and he couldn’t contain it, he has welcomed more than a couple of times already.

“Thank you, sir,”

Arielle said politely.

“Deda, I am Deda to you, my dear,”

He corrected.

“Yes, Deda, thank you,”

She responded.

“Deda, my wife is tired and I will like to take her home, I trust you would take care of things heat,”

Luciano said pulling her to him and holding her waist.

“Yes, yes, you can leave, you have worked hard,”

Deda responded and Arielle hugged Lilybee goodbye.

“Thank you for everything Lily,”

She whispered to the older woman.

“It is fine, you are welcome darling, I hope you have a great marriage,”

She said patting her shoulder, Luciano who still acted cold towards Lily pulled her to him.

“Let’s go,”

He whispered as he led her to the back exit in the center since the main entrance was still packed full of people, it was getting late already.

“You still don’t like Lily? Is an absolute sweetheart,”

She said when they got into the car.

“I have my reasons Arielle, not everyone is like you, don’t expect me to like who you like,”

He responded grumpily.

“Sure,”

She said calmly, she was glad they were finally going home, last night it was hard to fall asleep and she had woken up early today too, and it was past seven pm already, she didn’t know the wedding took that long until she checked the time, no wonder she almost lost her mind, thankfully it was done deal now, all she needed to do now was take a bath and turn in for the night, yeah, that’s not what’s going to happen and she knew it and she wanted it to happen, the only thing she has been looking forward to, she spared a lot at her new husband but he was looking out through the window, she did the same too.

“Finally, finally alone,”

Luciano said as they walked into his room, she had wanted to go to her room to change when they arrived but he had pulled her with him.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Should have gone to a hotel but,”

He said pulling her to him, she went into his arms willingly.

“I hate hotels, thank God you didn’t,”

She said.

“What do you mean, I own hotels, we had our wedding at one, I had plans of us using there but those fuckers will be at the entrance all day and night so no,”

He said and she knew he was referring to the media, there were a lot of them, God knows the countless number of times she had to smile for a photo today, all the photos she took with people she never met before and whom she would probably not meet ever again.

“Plus, we will have to stay in a hotel when we travel for our honeymoon,”

He continued and she withdrew herself from his arms.

“Honeymoon? What honeymoon?”

She asked not liking the direction this was going.

“Your honeymoon Arielle, the thing couples do after the marriage ceremony,”

He explained as if he was talking to a child, of course, she knew what a honeymoon is but what she didn’t know was that they were going to have one.

“I know what am honeymoon is but we don’t need one,”

She said folding her hands against her chest.

“Nah, I already planned it out,”

“Then you can cancel it,”

She responded.

“Honeymoon is a sure thing, Ariel, we shouldn’t fight over that too, everyone woman wants a honeymoon,”

He said and she glared at him.

“I am not every woman dear husband, I am my own person and you seem to be forgetting we are not a love match, I can pretend to be married but I am not about to continue the sham by traveling with you, besides I don’t have my passport,”

Ariel let out, she knew her passport was with him anyway but she wasn’t going to travel with him.

“Fine, forget that I asked,”

He said and walked out of the room.

“Where are you going to? We just got here,”

She asked but he was already gone, leaving her alone on her own in his room. Well, he could go anywhere he wants to but she wasn’t going on a honeymoon with him, he better get used to not getting what he wants all the time.

Arielle contemplated going back to her room or waiting for him there, she choose the latter and she lay on his bed, her wedding dress still on, she was so exhausted from smiling and exchanging greetings with people she had no idea about and who she was sure didn’t give a fuck about her either.

“Stressed,”

She voiced as she got up and tried taking off her dress but the zipper on the dress was too far for her hands to get to.

“Would you look at that? How am I supposed to take this off?”

She questioned, weighing her options which were either wait for him to come back and help her out of her dress or suck it up and go and look for Julia to help her with it. After over thirty minutes of waiting, she decided to get Julia, lucky she didn’t have to go far.

“Julia? Please can you help me with the zip and do you know where my husband is?”

She asked and regretted addressing him as her husband already, Julia smiled and came to help her with it.

“He left a few minutes ago, he said to help you with anything you need,”

Julia explained.

“Weird man,”

Ariel mouthed.

“I know right,”

Julia responded, Ariel bit her lips, she hadn’t meant for Julia to hear her.

“Thank you, Julia, if I need anything else I will call you,”

She said as she walked back to Luciano’s room after Julia finished helping her with her dress, the makeup even though it was simple was starting to make her feel headache and she needed to wash it off, she found some wipes in his room, and took off her makeup with it before taking a shower in his bathroom, after which she walked naked into his walk-in closet and stole his shirt, to be fair it looked like a mini gown on her, she went back and laid on his bed if he was going to be back anytime, she didn’t want him doing it without her noticing so she would wait here for him.
