Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“The wedding date is not a problem anymore but I don’t have a dream wedding, you can tell the planner to do whatever they want but please no big wedding,”

Arielle informed, she has always hated the concept of a big and lavish wedding; it was simply a waste of time and money.

“I understand your not having a dream wedding but I don’t know where your not wanting a big wedding is coming from. Do you realize the family you are getting married into? We do things lavishly and my wedding will be no different, it is written in the contract,”

He stated like it was a fact that she should know.

“I don’t know what you mean by that Luciano but I don’t want it,”

She replied firmly.

“This is not about what you want, woman!”

She decided not to argue with him over this but chose to approach it in a more calm manner, she took a deep breath and looked straight at him.

“Luciano, listen, we shouldn’t argue about this, our marriage is not like any other kind of wedding that might have happened in your family, it is a facade, we don’t like each other, I would not marry you if I truly have a choice, so there is no point in doing the unreasonably big wedding.”

She said as calmly as she could but his laughter after she said those words pissed her off.

“I don’t see what’s funny in what I said,”

She fired at him.

“You are funny Arielle, why do you always do it?”

“Do what?”

She asked.

“You know what I am talking about woman, this is not a you thing or what you want thing, I decide and you follow what I say,”

He responded, pissing her off even more, it was impossible to reason with him with his kind of mindset but she wasn’t about to be paraded about all in the name of a wedding that she would not even be doing if she really had a choice.

“Luciano, listen to me, I don’t want a big wedding, I don’t want it, why should I agree to a huge wedding when it is all a play? I refuse to be paraded around like a clown in a circus, I don’t want it, it is either we get a quiet wedding or we can just cancel the whole thing,”

Arielle responded.

“What do you even mean by what you are saying, woman? It is a norm in my family, big weddings are a thing and we should not be disagreeing over this, you read the contract I gave you right?”

He queried.

“I did read, but I am not done yet,”

She responded, which sounded stupid to even her own ears, she knew she should have read the contract.

“You are not done but you signed it?”

He questioned.

“You wonder why? Well? A certain man came to my room so early to remind me that I have to hand it back, what would you have me do? Pick a side,”

She yelled, he was so annoying and overbearing.

“Well, you should have read it or told me you were not done, how hard is it to read a damn contract? It is literally twenty pages,”

He yelled right back at her.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Really? You don’t know some people are slow to read and understand? Well! I am sorry it is not my fault that I am not a fast reader and that I need time to read and understand something, I am not you, not everyone is you, you should know that,”

She yelled again, she couldn’t believe just how self-centered the man could get.

“You should have told me you were not done, I would have given you more time to read through, maybe we won’t be having these issues with the wedding thing now because it is clearly stated that a big wedding is what we are getting, in the seventh page, how slow are you that you haven’t even read up to the seventh page? You had the whole day and night to read it through,”

He questioned and she felt tears well up in her eyes, what’s the point of having this conversation with him if he was going to keep putting her down?

“Do whatever you want,”

She said as she stormed out of the office, running upstairs to her room, she knew it was partly her fault for not reading the contract but there was nothing she could do about it, requesting for it back to read through it again would not do anything because she already knew Luciano would not change his mind.

“What have I done?”

She cried as she sat down in her room.

“I should have read it, what more would be there?”

She asked herself.

Arielle felt stupid and dumb, it was her fault all over again, she should have read the contract, and she should never have overlooked it or even signed, if only she had, being so dumb was not something she wanted to be but reading? It has always been her witness, she couldn’t get over not being able to read and understand under stress, her mom had been on her case because of it, told her she was useless because she read too slow, her stepfather had been the only one on her side about it, maybe that’s why she had felt he at least cared for a while because each time her mom would belittle her for being so slow, he would try to help her go through her work and help her understand, now he wasn’t here because he betrayed her little trust and she was here because of the consequences of his actions, it wasn’t an excuse for her not reading the contract though, it was all her fault.
