Married to the Mafia Boss

Aurora raised her brows, “why are you so interested in knowing Alexandrio? What are your intentions regarding my friend?”

“Don’t you know that, Aurora? I am interested in her and she is pushing me away like some allergy. Look, Aurora, I know it has something to do with those people we met yesterday. I asked her but she didn’t tell me. I know she is hurt and I want to know what hurted her so much. Please tell me.”

Aurora searched his eyes, she could see the truth in them but she needed to know the answer before telling him anything. “I will tell you everything but first, tell me, Alexandrio, are you serious about her? You like her, I know but I want to know about your intentions. If it’s a casual fling you have in mind then let me warn you, I will kill you with my sharp nails.”

He chuckled hearing her threat. “Do you think I would go this far for a girl with whom I have nothing but a casual fling in mind? I am serious about her, Aurora.”

Aurora nodded. “We were in college…” she started the story of what exactly happened four years ago…

“I would be having a cup of cappuccino with croissants and a blueberry pancake,” Aurora ordered the snacks for her and Susan.

Emily smiled. “Anything else, darlo?” She asked her classmates who were the regular visitors of the cafe she worked at.

“Nope, this will do but make it fast I am ravishing in hunger.”

Susan rolled her eyes when Aurora pouted in hunger. Emily smiled and moved back to the kitchen. Suddenly, the door of the cafe pushed and Victor entered with his friend.

“Here eat this,” Susam handed Aurora a chocolate bar to eat.”Your order will be late.”

Aurora frowned. “What? But why?”

She pointed at Victor. “Mr Crush is here, see.”

Aurora pinched her lips in a thin line. “I don’t know what she sees in this cockroach. Idiot man.” She mumbled, her eyes searching for Emily and as Susan said, her order was definitely going to be late. Emily was smiling ear to ear like a fool while Victor flirted with her. It was obvious to everyone that she had a crush on him.

“Oh crap! Katelyn is here. Fuck, She is going to bury Emily alive.” Aurora commented, shaking her head.

“Good, then at least she would stop behaving like a fool. Couldn’t she see he was just using her for entertainment?”

Aurora sighed. “She loves him, Susan…” she pointed but stopped when Katelyn went to Victor’s table and started screaming. “I knew that you would come here to meet her. You have been cheating on me with this stupid waitress, Victor.”

Emily gasped. People sitting in the cafe started looking at the drama unfolding there. “You bitch, stay the fuck away from my boyfriend.”

Emily had heard enough. “Oh hello, why don’t you do humankind a favour and just shut this vulgar mouth of yours? If you don’t know how to handle a relationship with your boyfriend then blame yourself not everyone else. I mean seriously girl, how stupid you could be. If your assignments are not complete, you start blaming the professors for giving you less time when it’s you who didn’t do it on time. If your dress is a bit tight, you blame the designers and fabric even the poor seamstress but not yourself for buying the dress a smaller size. You have problems with everyone but yourself. I pity him for even having a relationship with you. And just to let you know, this time you decided to mess with the wrong girl because I won’t stand here and listen to you speaking crap about me.” she looked at Victor and smiled.

“Sorry, Victor, nothing against you but this girl needed to hear the truth about herself. If you want to order something do let me know,” saying that Emily moved to the other table.

Someone started clapping and then the whole bunch of people joined. Katelyn ran out in anger and frustration, Victor and his friend behind her.

“Wow! That girl has the guts of a devil,” Susan whispered, impressed by the show of her spirits. “Damn, I never knew she could do that.”

“She has fire, Susan,” she said, smiling. Aurora and Susan kept their distance from other students in class. Aurora kept her friend circle neat. She had Susan and she was enough for her. But today she loves Emily and the way she reacted to Katelyn who thinks of herself as some goddess.

The next day in class Kately and her friends tried to poke Emily and once again she saw them to their places.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Emily was going back to the dorm when Victor caught up to her. “Hey, Emily. Can we talk?” He asked her with his charming smile.

Emily frowned. “Yes,” she said, her heart beating faster than usual seeing him there. “I came to apologise to you for what happened yesterday. Katelyn crossed the line…”

Emily shrugged. “What can I say, It was not your fault that she is egoistic.”

“Well…” he cleared his throat. “I broke up with her.”

“I am sorry to hear this…. no you know what I am glad you did that because she was an overbearing egoistic girl who didn’t even know the spelling of politeness.”

Victor nodded. “I saw that, well… that’s not the only thing I came to discuss with you. I know you like me and I like you too. Now that I am free of Katelyn, I would like to date you, Emily Smith.”

Emily’s heart dropped. She went numb for a moment hearing his proposal. She was excited and nervous at the same time. “Say something,” he asked when Emily didn’t speak and only stared at him.

She chuckled. “Yes, yes I would love to date you, Victor.” She answered smiling ear to ear. She thought that was the best day of her life but it was not. It was the day which led to the worst day of her life because from that moment her life changed.
